I don't have a Windows partition. I do, however, have a 10G virtual machine running Windows XP that I use for testing the software I write.
Bwahahaha

Not quite. Self-employed people who don't do anything inventory related (i.e., services only), don't have any employees, and don't mind spending a few hours a day buried in paperwork pay...
The only big differece between the package format I can think of offhand is that RPM has better multiarch support (and Debian and Ubuntu are in the process of improving this with DEB, so that should...
Some do, most don't; the rich write the tax laws.
You'd first have to define rich and poor, as there is no clear divide between them, at least in the USA. As a business owner who's not afraid of...
I wrote a few test cases for various Firefox and IE exploits at my last job. My favorite one involved remotely installing Enemy Territory on any computer that visited the company's intranet home page...
A few years ago, RPM-based distros didn't have any good/reliable way to track dependencies, and tended to produce a large number of broken packages (that last part may have been just me, though)....
I build my own desktops and will likely continue to do so indefinitely, but I'm thinking of buying a laptop from System 76 some time in the next couple of months.
Sight - I am a visual person; I think in shapes and colors rather than words, and I love to just look at stuff. I also have a large number of hobbies that would be nearly impossible if I couldn't see...
Fair enough. String manipulation isn't C's strong suit, but it's rarely something I have to work with. I consider the fact that you haven't been given a correct answer a challenge, though; I'll post...
Neither is yours, but I'm feeling argumentitive today, so I'll bite.
BF is a good one to learn. It's not really worth attempting to implement anything meaningful in it, but it'll make you think...
I was writing games from the moment I left the womb, which was not quite 24 years ago. Mostly tabletop wargames (think Warhammer 40K with cardboard figures). I discovered programming when I was 12 or...
Ah, the power of commas.
I find that dyslexics (I'm one of 'em) are actually really good at programming. A dyslexic thinks like a computer, and intuitively understands exactly what's going inside one with a little bit of...
C is one of the best languages to start with. It's powerful enough to do just about anything, and it doesn't try to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot, which aids learning significantly....
You sound like me a few (12?) years ago. Stick with it, and don't give up.
I'm rather severely dyslexic, myself, and a I know a fair number of others with the same (though usually not as...
Sorta. It's usually compiled to bytecode (not machine code), which is then interpreted.
First off, an FPS is not a good first project unless you're already pretty familiar with the language and most of the libraries you'll be using, and it sounds like you're not. Keep it really simple...

I use KWord for reading those pesky .doc files that clients like to e-mail me. I don't generally have much use for office-type stuff outside of that.
I use Kate for most things, and Nano (where's the option for Nano, Pico, and JOE?) for quick edits in the terminal.
I don't watch TV. The only reason I own one is so I can plug my PS2 into it.
Axe and Tag smell horrible. I'd take strong BO over either.
You can just put the command after chroot on the commandline.
From chroot --help:
