I also recommend 'The C Programming Language' by Brian W. Kernighan if you're serious about learning C.
I'm a big fan of the O'Reilly books, however some people do not like them. I think most of...

Here's another fun one I wrote that generates a nice, printable password list, and stores it in a file called pass.txt. Note that to get it to work you need the custom programs asciionly and form,...

Here's an example of generating a report of the 10 biggest files in a given directory (over ~10Mb).
find ~ -size +10000k -printf "%s,%p\n" | sort -nr | head -n 10 | cut -d, -f 2
The most...

Wow; I didn't know that. I guess you learn something every day.
Haha, true. He's probably making things way too complicated. I would say, just bite the bullet and transfer the slow and easy...

Well, cut is usually only useful for working with text-based data. Trying to split a movie file with it probably won't work very well.
Try a file splitting program instead. One available for linux...

Take a look at Gnome Commander. You can find its features on that page, in the about section.
You should be able to get it in Ubuntu by installing the package "gnome-commander" (e.g., apt-get...

What exactly do you need that the file managers you've already tried cannot provide? Could you expand on what you mean when you say "power and ease of use"?
I would have recommended Gentoo or...

I'm a senior year student majoring in Computer Information Systems. I attend a small, private University (bellevue.edu) in Nebraska.
Some thoughts for you:
CS is more focused and indepth;...

In MS Word you can save as html via the "save as" dialog. xhtml is also fine, and will work just as well.
Also,
If you do save out to html from MS Word, you might want to check out the...

Yes, that's definitely true. However, I remember when I used to compile purely monolithic kernels for my computer, including only the drivers for which I needed, and the output was still only around...

$ du -h /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-686
860K /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-686
Compared to the 2.2 days, that's pretty big.

Implementing a square root function is especially.... hairy.
I suggest you read the following page to get an idea of some other peoples' implementations:...

The next version of Ubuntu will allow double-clicking file installation (using a thing called udebi). I personally enjoy having synaptic take care of everything.
Not everyone likes having...

Things I like:
Window switching live preview (alt-tabbing) - This has been tried before. It looks very useful. Hopefully Xgl will implement this the right way.
Magnification effects - Much...

Looks to me like you have a bad disk, or that you at least have some major file system problems. I would suggest popping in a live CD and running fsck on the disk. If you have very valuable data...

I don't use the default theme either, but it's important to have a nice default theme, because that's what grandma uses. Plus, product reviews will be done using the default theme; if it can be...

Has anyone seen the new color scheme for the latest Ubuntu Alpha (Dapper Flight 5)? Take a look and tell me what you think. It's very.... pumpkin.
There's quite a discussion about it over at the...

From the Answers page of the site:

apt-get install beep
This command line program will allow you to ops check your PC-Speaker. As an added bonus, it will provide hours of fun.
It's pretty easy to use too. For example, the...

Use ethereal. Start a network capture when you're talking to both of them on yahoo. Filter the results down to yahoo IM (I believe it's "yhoo" in the filter box). Note the IPs. Compare. Done.

Here's another way to do it. Perl script below:
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>)
{
/\((.*)\)/;
print $1 . "\n";
}
