I have had nicks in my windshield due to gravel thrown up by vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.

Without the manufacturer’s drivers, I couldn’t even print a page of text.

It’s a Brother B&W laser with integrated scanner. About 6 years old, so it should be fully supported. We can’t view toner levels or scan from the printer (press a button on the printer to start a scan and have it automatically accepted by the computer. I have installed the separate driver for this functionality, but it isn’t working).

We haven’t yet tried some features like double-sided printing.

I installed Mint on my wife’s computer last week, and we have had problems getting the printer to print, and then to scan. I’ve installed the manufacturer’s driver a couple of times and it seems to do those functions okay, but some features still don’t work.

Not only that, but many of his books are freely available epubs with no DRM. You can read them and decide if you like his style before going on to buy the others.

My recommendation is Language Transfer, a freely-available system for multiple languages that, in my opinion, helps you to think in another language better than any other system I have tried.

You are right, but I’m not sure if the intelligence was built into the command to recognize it as a root level deletion.

rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

Looks like it started appearing in various flavors of Unix and Linux around 2005.

If it were on an old installation of linux, it would delete everything on the file system, from every disk attached.

Modern Linux systems require an additional flag to explicitly stay that you want to nuke your system.

When I was in grade 9, in 1977, my science teacher told us about his solar panels. He was projecting that they would pay off the investment in about 20 years. How much better must that be now (and we are talking about Ontario, Canada, hardly the best place for solar power)?
