I voted both. I enjoy drinking tea more, but I like what coffee does as a drug (increases alertness, focus, etc.).

Not trying to start a flame-war here (don't even know if this is a hot-button issue), but I read on wikipedia (article entitled 'procfs') that FreeBSD is phasing out /proc. There wasn't really any...
If you type faster while looking at the keyboard, you still have some work to do. A touch typist types faster with their eyes on the screen because they can see what they are doing, though they can...
I'm also American, but I've lived in Europe and the Middle East. Most people are simply not interested in new systems that must be learned. They want something that is either intuitive or built on...
This problem has nothing to do with America. It's the same everywhere.
Once I mentioned how it was weird that `ed ` (the standard text editor) wasn't installed on Arch Linux by default on the Arch message boards (I meant that it wasn't in the 'base' package group, but I...
OS X is simply the final component of the GNU operating system that Stallman set out to create.
Once upon a time, in a land called MIT Artificial Intelligence lab, there was a hacker named Stallman who got mad because he wanted to fix a bug in the operating system he was using (some kind of...
^ I find that fascinating. Your fingers are better at spelling than your brain. I am kind of the opposite. My head is wired around sounds (learn best by hearing, more affected by sounds/music in the...
so your psychologist is obsessed with naked women too? weird...
Me too. That's why I've never tried it. Portability > Efficiency
how has no one mentioned the announcement of Steam and the release of the beta for linux?
This and the aftershocks thereof are going to be pretty big for linux desktop users.
I learned to touch type by trolling internet forums in dark rooms as a teenager (true story). I still have to look for some of the non-alphanumeric symbols.

If you're going the minimal route like that, you might try torturing yourself with vi for a while. The pain is the prerequisite to figuring out that it is the finest text editor ever created.

Sometimes I have to bring the final product into libreoffice for a little extra formatting. Haven't figured out how to get LaTeX to do Chicago style or produce correctly formatted...
While Arch is a bit more time consuming to install and maintenance requires a bit more intervention, you only have to install it once, and the amount of maintenance definitely amounts to less than...
Sorry! I forgot about this thread. If you're still out there, This netbook should be able to handle any linux distro and provide reasonable performance, though you will want to stick with a 32bit,...
Linux is actually a clone of a clone Unix (minix being the first clone)... so Linux is like the modernized clone of OS X's adoptive gandfather.
That also happens to make a much more interesting...
lesser in every possible sense.
first and only on-topic statement in this thread that makes any sense.
UNIX proper is an ancient, proprietary operating system formerly owned by AT&T, developed at Bell Labs, semi-defunct when the...
specs please. My netbook was designed to run Windows 7 Home Premium, so it runs any linux distro with very good performance.
If you only have 1GB RAM, however, I'd suggest sticking with at 32bit...
Please do not teach something at which you are a novice. That is a sure way to turn people off to it. A teacher needs to be able to provide answers to questions.
"Dangerous" is quite relative. The worst that usually happens is you might loose the ability to use X until you do something about it (usually something that takes a couple of minutes).

Eh, it does have to do with text and binary stuff, but not exactly in the way you put it. The command line, at it's core is simply a mechanism for launching programs. It is up to the program itself,...
