Spraypaint them orange first. PULL!

I'm taking Java this semester and we're moving on to Data Structures.

This is the book my class is using. It's written by my professor and it seems pretty good.

I hope that next year will be better for me, but past years have taught me what to expect.

A More effective route would be to get a couple hundred students to picket the City-County building in downtown.

One of the Tax-ees here:

I'd say that he didn't talk it over with the Universities.

It's been my professional experience that a nice percentage of drive failures happen because of the logic board going out, not mechanical. Of course, it could be the heat that's killing them.

It's too soon to tell, but I'm a little skittish regarding SSD technology. It's getting better, but I'll wait a few more product generations before using them in SQL servers. With HDD crashes, at least the data can be professionally recovered to some degree. But what about SSDs? If the controller dies and/or a PSU fries every chip, I'm afraid all the data would be lost forever!

Only a historical record of this new technology will determine my level of trust in the future.

Not really - after all, we already have the BSDs.

Wich is why I really hope that Linux goes the "user friendly" way, while BSDs stay the way they are. Thing is, BSDs are much better at it - at least they're consistent. You don't see a lot of shiny with an occasional patch that looks and smells like it was written by a bearded guy in a basement; no, what you get is an entire OS, every single bit of which looks and smells like it was written by a bearded guy in a basement.

And consistency is good.

There is no confirmation box when you change resolutions. At least on the two Ubuntu systems I am unfortunatly stuck with dealing with.

...except that, i think as you well know, you'll never know if "OK" or "apply" are the selected focus things in GNOME, or if "Enter" will toggle some checkbox. Or press Cancel. Or change tabs.
