When I got into Linux I bought one of those thick Red Hat Linux Bible, and read it from cover to cover... well maybe not every word but skimming each section gave me a very good insight on what the file system was, key programs, how the OS

Well in the 80s many of us got an introduction to programming with BASIC/PASCAL/Logo/etc. many didn't do anything with it, though there are a good number that can attest that that education put them in the tech industry. So I think like mos

The weakest part of a laptop is usually the AC adapter cable. Been there since day one. Not sure why over all these years they haven't made that a replaceable component, but it is the cause of failure of many an expensive power supply. St

Many a career has been started by folks well into their 50s and 60s... what you may lack in energy and agility then is made up by experience, insight, and skill. Try never thinking you have done the greatest thing you will ever do, that ju

I think the NDA requirement before revealing the infringing patents is a telling sign. They know they were weak and stand on shaky ground. I had thought that if some entity was to properly assert their patent rights, they had to make the s

I don't like the reduction of brackets, one thing I like in php is the readability of the symbols: if(){ }else{ } I know when things start and stop, with the conditionals presented there are no indication of start/stop except possibly inden
