Precisely my experience too. Being ten years wiser and more motivated made all the difference in the world.
Do -not- just read about the stuff, practice! Make errors, figure out what you did wrong, do it over again. And again. Though this may sound terrible now, finally getting the hang of these things will actually feel nice.
I also found it useful to make my own quick references (cheatsheets). The formulas stick better when written down by yourself. It's a bonus if you are allowed to use them on the exam, but if you really practice a lot you won't need them anyway.

tortious: "having the nature of or involving a tort; wrongful"

I should have looked up "tort" as well, but I'm not in a recursive mood today.

Honestly I don't see your problem. When working with files and drives, approximate sizes usually suffice. Give or take 10%, it rarely matters.

Now, if I really need to compare sizes, I use the single bytes. And if the numbers are big, SI prefixes *just work* unambiguously.

Graphviz ?

And while you get accustomed to it, you can use this friendly calculator in the meantime.

In cases where countries or organizations felt affected, they _would_ try to strong-arm Iceland to yield. I don't think that a small country would be able to stand up against much pressure from the outside. At the moment Iceland needs all the political friends it can get, and this move is not necessarily a step in that direction.

As such they do make a very interesting and non-gruesome read. We have come a long way.

I also found the article itself to be remarkably readable in every aspect (language, spelling and fonts). I did not expect that at all, but then again I am not in the habit of reading 17th century English.

Seems I misunderstood the purpose of the software, it's just a boring screen-turner-offer. Should not slashdot when tired.

Now, having to log in -again- when I return is slow and error-prone, especially while sipping coffee. The solution is obviously to use the same software to auto-login a soon as it detects the presence of a user.

I think it's just fine to flash such a device with new software from the ground up. You did buy the hw after all.
OTOH potentially enabling features (just speculating again) that the the producer did not mean for you to use, however clumsily such a lock may be implemented, is a grayish area. But since there is no EULA to accept (yet!) there is probably nothing the producer can do.
