I have this book and think it's great. It covers Linux 2.6, which happens to be the version of the kernel used in CentOS6.2 which is what I use at work. What are the major differences between 2.6 and the 3 line. Specifically, what is the

Back in "the old days" adolescents were viewed more as inexperienced adults than as old children. They were expected to start to learn how to fit into adult society rather than isolate themselves purely into peer groups. Pretty sure though

So I went to carwoo.com. Gripe#1: Why do you need my cell phone number? I know you say you won't give it to dealerships. I don't know why you need it either. Gripe#2: Why do I have to choose a color? That is not an especially important f

The teacher payscale versus engineers payscale is interesting. Negating cost of living raises, the pay for teachers is essentially linearly related to time of service. Again negating cost of living adjustments, the pay for an engineer inc

To expand on the concept of intent from the point of view of the user... I don't mind ads... when I am looking for ads. Otherwise they are at best a nuisance and at worst polluting. Here is a useful heuristic for a search engine that want

In Maryland in order for a school to call itself "Montessori" it has to be approved by some national Montessori association. The sole purpose of this seems to be to make money for national Montessori associations. My daughter went to a Mon

I just read the article and apparently it also has composite RCA. They should advertise that part more than the HDMI, it is more useful for their target audience.

Schools that can't afford enough computers also can't afford new monitors and TVs with HDMI connections, which if I recall the raspberry pi requires.

In the US at least there is always SBIR(Small Business Innovation Research)funding. Most of it is through the DOD, but other federal agencies includimg the NSF participate as well. The NSF grants are pretty open-ended. Come up with an id

A chess website that I subscribe to is gameknot.com. The model that they use are some simple text and picture ads for free members. Optionally, you can pay about 40 a year for no ads and some additional features. They focus on chess excl

This depends on the business structure. In the US, if you have what is called an 'S' corp, then you are required to pay yourself a market rate salary. Otherwise, you are dodging social security, medicare, and other employment taxes. If y

So I would have to ask the question, "Why don't startups provide group health insurance?" If you want good employees, pay for them. In most states, if you have 2 employees you are eligible for a group plan. In a few states even a single f

I asked my lawyer about this when setting up my LLC. He told me to get an accountant for the first year, watch what they do, and then you'll be able to do it yourself every year after that.
