   What caused you to see that; concerns for other English dialects, international/translatation, or something else? I'm pretty ignorant, but I enjoy trying to misinterpret my own text, which is often easy. It was either Kernighan or

   QoS can help with DDoS if the DDoS is L7, but most DDoS attacks are bandwidth exhaustion attacks, which requires upstream mitigation. I completely agree that "tc" is one of the most confusing CLI programs I have encountered. tc

   When the majority of my country's citizens are sick (aka "unable to work"), virtually all of their financial benefits disappear (even in my great country, the USA) because they have no universal health-care and non-wealthy pa

   As a non-professional hobbiest, the biggest impact I can recall is that "vi" is universally included in every distro, while nano is not. vim is complicated, but if you spend just an hour learning it's capabilities, your produ

    The quotes were intended to differentiate between the obvious, instantaneous brain damage from head trauma and the long-term, hard to measure effects of an unhealthy, sedentary life-style has on the brain. I was trying to point out that we

    "These kinds of sports"? What physically competitive sport has no threat of falling and hitting your head? How much "brain damage" is caused by the psychological and physiological effects of a sedentary life-style?

    Reinvention is vital for evolution, right? Is the "success" of id Software an obvious result of open-source acculteration or is it an anomaly? I'd say the latter...

    Every failing starter I have encountered exhibited the "click of death" (turn the key and get "clicks" rather than a turning engine). I doubt it's a problem exclusive to Toyota. PS - I drove a manual transmission Ma

    Get a VW Bug or an ATV with an air-cooled, four-stroke engine. Buy a good torque-wrench, a socket set, some allen wrenches, and a proper disassembly/reassembly manual and get to work! I have removed every rolling part of my ATV. It&#x2

    Food (or the addiction to it) is also "capable of completely and permanently altering a person's personality in negative ways". Outlawing a substance because of the potential for abuse does not solve the underlying problem. H

    Personally, I miss my 1hr30min round-trip drives to work. I enjoy driving and I enjoy listening to PodCasts & audio books. I would say adaptation is hugely important. Find some way to enjoy it, or at the least, find a way to make better
