He even had to rewrite part of his book because of this.
Vista was basically "Windows XP Millennium", ie a marketing device designed to make the following OS look fast compared.
True. Not the easiest one but once you get accustomed you can't live without it. On free operating systems (don't forget BSD and others) nobody leaves out a feature to make you pay for it at the next release, and nobody slows down the system like a slug because they're pushing their crappy development platform (.NET).
I purchased recently a couple mini PC by ASRock, both without operating system as I would have installed Linux on them. That made me save some good money.

Very difficult to answer that. First there IS no problem, Europe got along just fine before the Euro, and did with the Euro, it is just the demonrat George Sores plan to speculate against the Euro countries to camouflage the fact that the US debt is now equal to its national product. Who will lend you money? You have only 'make war' left. And when it comes to that do NOT under estimate Europe. You could only make a bomb with European scientific research, by buying those scientist (like Enrico Fermi), and get to space later by using for example Von Braun. US tests show that he level of the students there is really really bad. China just activated its own GPS,... US is getting way behind, needs Russian taxies to the International Spacejunk Station. Soon you have no more money to pay your sailors in the nuculear subs, and the soldiers in your armies. US will fall apart like a piece of cake. Will be one warlord against the other, I KNOW this, I have seen Schwarzenegss movies. hehe :-)

Same here, ctrl alt F7 takes me back to X. I run the early fvwm, 9 virtual screens, 8 color xterms (or rxvt), one has the xfm file manager. To get it to work, the old fvwm, I had to replace that Xorg stuff with xfree. I prefer the xterms to the command line, but sometimes I use the command line. gpm...
I am not sure if xfree will be around in the future, or support all the drivers that Xorg does, I am contemplating buying something with the new AMD GPUs (bulldozer, whatever), and that needs drivers that perhaps only work in Xorg, dunno, will see. Best time to buy is after new year, prices will drop (usually). Maybe I will stop with computahs altogether, I was first to start with it, maybe will be the first to leave. Trends come and go...

Not all banks in Europe do that, ABN-AMRO uses a calculator, you get a challenge number, enter it in the calculator, it gives a reply, you type that, and if the reply is correct then the transaction goes. That calculator accepts your bank-pass and you need to type your PIN in that calculator too. So all you need to carry is the bank-pass and the calculator (and a laptop of course). I am now in my 4rth calculator, the first one was replaced because it had a problem (every body got a new one), the second one got wet and the LCD became unreadable, the third one the batteries ran out... Its secure, although I think.. OK cannot say that here.

Possible, but my Linux PC as media centre that does video, audio, TV, satellite TV, internet, editing of all that stuff, special effects, is now 10 years old. Oh, and it does security cam recording, web browsing, email, used to run a webserver, mail server, name server, ftp server, all the same box. On 24/7. What do people want? It is the industry that creates desire. Jobs created a desire for those ipod ipad i-something.... Apple never touched me, I never bought an Apple product. And I still do not see the point of rubbing on some fragile piece of glass. How can I write C code with that? Reminds me of the early ZX80 ZX81 foil keyboard. I actually wrote some asm on that,, I would not call those Apple-like products 'progress', no...
But OK if you can edit your videos by just rubbing a screen... fine with me. Cumbersome when you have to repeat it a year later... Scripting?
And I already have several cellphones, some even with video and internet.
Joe public needs to be educated. man everything you buy today also has a camera in it. Last year I counted all the cameras I had in the room, I came to 12...
Strange, very strange... it is strange ;-)
Never use them, tested all of them though. Where did I see this recently? A ballpen with a camera in it:-)

I sometimes ssh from the couch from my Linux netbook to my Linux PC, and then can do anything I can do on the PC, including watching video and TV. Plus I have a real keyboard.
Another quirk is, if you joined a Domain, starting without being connected to the Domain, then shutting down. It appears to Hang. Havent really looked into it. But found out after experimenting with upgrading Samba. It Probably is trying connect to the Domain even if you log in locally. Maybe it's just that there is a trust relation ship that is broken, since I've been going back and forth between samba 3.0.33 and 3.5.4 and rejoining the domain but not unjoining from the domain.
Joerg has lots of phf-f-f-f-ft problems too ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Oh, and you seriously believe that Greece would be just fine if there was no Soros?
And who exactly makes the processors and chips in your PCs with which everything is calculated? The world is all a collaborative effort, we can't easily live without each other. For example, if there was no America you would now either report to an Obergauleiter or live in a Soviet "republic". Both rather scary thoughts.
That is plain wrong. Schools have some serious problems here but uhniversities make fine engineers. I know, because I live here and work with them every day.
Only in your dreams. First Greece and some other countries will take you to the cleaners. You might still be in denial about it but it's happening right now.
movies.
Arnold was a good governor but his movies never appealed to me.
Most Bash-type shells will go interactive, if you just type the "for" command on its own. You can then type as many subsequent commands as you like, one to a line. When you type "done", the whole shebang will execute.
The shell will expand $file to the name of the next file every time it loops. If the name contains spaces, the shell will happily deal with them. You only need to quote spaces in filenames actually typed on the command line. Leave the quotes off.
You could do: for x in *.mp3; do mv $x evanescence$x; done
instead, it means the same thing.
I prefer to quote spaces with a backslash, or better still, not use spaces in filenames at all. I use an underscore, instead.
There's a difference between single and double quotes, BTW.
You're welcome.
