Sorry, but this is slightly wrong. What you are doing with the <(...) construct is called 'process substitution' and it basically allows you to act on a programs output as a file. In fact, this is...

Thanks for responding, but I knew how to access man pages from the terminal, but they just weren't installed with the packages on Fedora.

However, I have realized that I have probably left this...

To remove a directory recursively (e.g remove a directory and all of its elements), you can use the -r switch to the rm command. In other words:


rm -r directory

However, you should use this...

Have you looked at apt-get purge? It should remove a package, as well as any configuration. Also, be sure to do an autoremove to remove any dangling dependencies afterwards.

To be honest, I agree. If all of the distributions developed standard and started combining effort, I think a lot of progress would be made. However, you could still have smaller distros for more...

Well, I think I solved part of my problem.

There is an Ant manual package, but it provides a much fuller, HTML ant walkthrough, not the quick reference I was looking for.

The thread remains...

I tried to install Apache Ant and some other Java related development files on a Fedora machine the other day, and tried to access their man pages.

However, I couldn't find them, not even after...

Machine language is just a series of bytes that to a human would look like nonsense, and would vary from processor to processor.

There is also no such thing really as an "Assembly editor". If you...

You may want to rethink that. Not all math boils down to fundamental arithmetic operations. Math can be done with things other than numbers, with operations other than those you listed.

I don't understand. How is algebra the least useful subject taught in school? For me, it was the most important subject to know, period. In fact, I would go as far as to say that the only useful...

I guess I didn't mean 'large' project necessarily. What I really meant was something more like, "a project that does something useful".

Try to create some program that solves some problem that...

One thing that I may recommend to the OP is to maybe stick with Java for a little while longer. You probably want to work on a large project in one language before moving to another. I personally...

I am not sure exactly, but I think this example is trying to show that C can't behave polymorphically, (i.e prints "Woof woof" rather than "Yip yip"). However, to get "Yip yip" instead, all you have...

What exactly do you mean by working on "Linux"? That could be ambiguous.
However, if you are talking about the Linux Kernel, then you have to know C. And I mean know C.

It depends on how complex you want to have your build process. There tend to be a large number of conventions that go into writing makefiles, but a very basic layout of one follows:



program :...

I disagree with Warpnow on the reasons, but I do agree that people below 30 also face prejudice.

My generation has been labeled as the "entitlement" generation, as those too lazy to work for...

I am not sure exactly what you are referring to, but in the two commands above, the file specified after the -i option is the one containing the list of urls.

cd Arlington
wget -i /path/to/inputfile

Alright, I don't think we need to be too harsh on the OP, as he does make some perfectly valid points. There are a lot of problems with Ubuntu, and it still takes a significant time investment to use...

No offense or anything, but I don't see how you can blame Ubuntu for what sounds like your own problems.

You cannot blame Ubuntu for making you less punctual at work, nor distancing you from your...

I would say I prefer C over C++ but...

Saying that you prefer C over C++ is like saying you prefer a hammer over a wrench. It all depends on the problem being solved. In general, if the problem at...

Welcome to the Ubuntu Forums community.

What I would recommend to you is first try and get a little more comfortable with Ubuntu and Linux in general. Then, I think you will have a better idea of...

How is that what the criminals want? They want companies to be aware of the threats of malware, so as to issue updates to protect their users?

First of all, I really think that you should have swap on your system, especially if your system has relatively low memory (512MB in my system and it can hit swap pretty hard). However, if you are...

Well, as my previous request for trying to balance the discussion has failed, I might as well continue and reply to this:



This is the kind of thing that I don't like about Apple. The main ...
