Can anyone tell me a good place to find recent news related to Linux? I am writing a paper for school on future predictions of Linux and about whether Linux will become a serious competitor to Windows in the future. I am having problems researching this though it seems most of the information I am finding is a couple of years old and the language is aimed at someone who already knows a lot about Linux. I would appreciate any help I can get on where to find more information.

brought for certain crimes? car thieves and muggers are getting jail time, whilst molesters and pedo's are getting away with it and put on a register. in my opinion, rapists, pre med murderers, child molesters should be killed for their crimes. what do you think ?

If you are given a triangle with measurements of two angles missing, how do you find those measures? For example, I have a right triangle. So, I know the measure of angle C is 90 degrees. I know that side A is 12mm, side B is 16mm, and side C is 20mm. How do I find the measures of angle A and angle B? The triangle is set up so that the 90 degree angle (angle C) is at the top. Straight across is the hypotenuse (side C; 20 mm). Angle A is on the lower right hand side (?), and in between angle A and angle C is the 16 mm side (side B). Angle B (?) is in the lower left hand corner, and in between angle B and angle C is the 12mm side (side A). And as I've already stated, in between angle A and angle B is side C (hypotenuse; 20mm). I hope this makes sense. It's hard to explain without being able to show you a picture. I know you have to use the Sin, Tan, and Cos stuff, but if anyone could explain to me how to find the measures of angle A and angle B, that would be great. Thanks so much!

I already have a basic black peacoat and puffer coat so I kind of want something different for this winter.

Something stylish and young, but still warm. A peacoat with a more modern and tighter fitting cut would be nice or a peacoat that is not long and ends at the hip. I like fitted coats.

If anyone could recommend me to a store or brand it would be very helpful. The limit is around $300.

I'm 25 yrs. old and am interesting in a buying some stock for savings purposes.

My questions are:

1. What exactly do I lose if the stock fails?

2. How long does it take for a stock to grow say from 500 to 1000 dollars? Does it depend on the individual stock?

3. Where is a good place to start investing? (Both online and offline).

Thanks very much for all your help as it's much appreciated!

I respect the life of all things; big or small, and I don't want to kill these ants. However, I have a 2 year old brother who keeps getting bit! I don't want him to get bit because obviously ant bites are horribly irritating, but I don't want to KILL the ants either... Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your help is much appreciated! God Bless!

A Notepad icon keeps appearing on my desktop talking about an unexpected exception that has been detected in native code outside the VM. It's followed by a list of files...

I searched it in Yahoo Answers and found someone with the exact same problem. (The list of files was the same and everything.) The people told her it was the West Coast Nile Virus and to call Microsoft. I keep Googling that and getting nothing.

Can some please explain what this virus is, what it does, or what I should do.

Thank you so much!

for oprah, money is no object. but if you wanted to take a seven-day cross country (seven stops in seven days along the way) trip from the pacific to the atlantic, which route(s) would you take? which sites or cities would be 'must-sees' on your itinerary? who would you take with you?

for non-americans, please pick some destinations in YOUR part of the world!

god bless america.

Just out of interest...I was watching x-factor this morning, and without fail, with everyone who got through in Simon's category their reaction was to bury their head in their hands. I thought that was generally a response to bad news...Any psychological explanations?

Some bills I got are totally bullshits, like unsolicited books sent to my kids, like medical bills should be sent to my insurance companies. But after I talked to them over the phone, they still keep sending me those bills. What I can do?m I can just choose to neglect them, but will they affect my credit points? Thanks for any inputs!

Hello... I purchased two laptops from the Dell Outlet today, both E1705 units with different features, one with more ram, dvd burner, one with better video (7900GS), etc. I basically intend to take the best pieces of each into my new laptop, and then ebay the other one. :) My question is, one has the T2300 processor (1.66GHz/667MHz FSB) and the other has the T2250 processor (1.73GHz/533MHz FSB). If all other things are equal, which will be faster, the one with more processor speed, or the one with the higher FSB speed?

Once we've established that, one other question.. I notice both laptops only have 533mhz ram, so assuming I don't buy faster ram, am I correct in thinking FSB won't matter and I'd be better off with the slightly faster CPU? :)

Thanks much for the advice!
