|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> 1. refer to a dictionary so you are sure which definition of "hack" you want
|
|||
|
to use. There is a nice 2c Tip this month about visiting Mirrian Webster's
|
|||
|
dictionary website, or you might find the
|
|||
|
<A HREF="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/">Jargon File</A> (aka. The New Hacker's Dictionary) useful.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> 2. follow directions for the right definition.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> a. I recommend starting with a light axe and smaller pieces of firewood. As
|
|||
|
you work on bigger pieces you may want to use a hammer and wedge. The
|
|||
|
best thing is that poor practice results with the smaller wood leads to
|
|||
|
kindling size pieces, which are also needed for a good fireplace setup.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> By all means, don't forget to seriously clean the flue before using your
|
|||
|
fireplace the first time in a season. You can seriously smoke yourself
|
|||
|
out if you forget that, and carbon monoxide, being invisible, is especially
|
|||
|
dangerous.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> b. Most Linux distributions make it easy to find source code for its tools.
|
|||
|
Start with things which are shell scripts. Then learn perl, and study
|
|||
|
things which are perl scripts. Learning a minimal amount of C will allow
|
|||
|
you to look at the source code of "small" programs like ls or cat. As
|
|||
|
your talents grow you might feel inclined to look at the kernel, or other
|
|||
|
large programs that everyone uses. All the while make your own practice
|
|||
|
programs and try to do things which are useful for your own purposes. When
|
|||
|
these things are useful patches or programs to others, post them to project
|
|||
|
maintainers or start up your own thing (maybe at Sourceforge).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> If the terms in this description are not "plain english" to you, you are
|
|||
|
not yet ready to be a code hacker.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> c. th11s 11z != a cr@ckERz d-N d00d! Find an IRC channel somewhere. Try not
|
|||
|
to get caught doing anything the al-Qaeda would do. Expect a lump of coal
|
|||
|
in your stocking if you manage to hurt anybody with your internet joyride.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> /me cackles wickedly while splitting the next email thread with a medium size
|
|||
|
wedge and light axe.

Linux ::::::::: a modern operating system not much like any of:

--- DOS -- Windows -- Solaris -- MacOS -- alien starships ---
|

|
... except occasionally, an ability to run on the same hardware.
|

|
Gazette ::::::: published more regularly than "almanac." In our case:

--- a monthly web-based magazine, home: www.linuxgazette.com

fairly hard to point one: it kinda stays pointing the way you build it.

<P> Riffle? That's the fast water between pools in a stream.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> I'd be pretty scared if somebody was pointing a riffle at me;
|
|||
|
Lessee, small stream, maybe 5m across, .25m average depth,
|
|||
|
that's 1.25 m**2 cross section, if the riffle is 15m long
|
|||
|
that's 18.75 m**3 of water, plus surrounding streambed. I wanna
|
|||
|
be pretty well clear of anybody strong enough to lift that,
|

let alone point it!!!

|

<P> Yeah, I don't know anything about gold-separating troughs. Tho I can
|
|||
|
see how it'd be called a "riffle" ... region of faster-moving water, with
|
|||
|
maybe some bumps to it. Calling its bed a "riffle" seems like
|
|||
|
taking some liberty with the term, but I guess you need to call it
|
|||
|
something, and maybe "bed" doesn't sound obscure enough.

|
created from turbulent flow, which only occurs within

meanders.....

|

<P> Try walking some trout streams. Mostly they don't meander,

|
at least in this mountainous part of the country, but you'll
|

|
find pools and riffles alternating nonetheless. Smooth
|
|||

and turbulent flow.

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> If I recall correctly from my trout-fishing days, "head-pool-run-riffle" is
|
|||
|
the repeated structure that makes up a mature stream. The length of the
|
|||
|
sequence is mainly dependent on the stream width and rate of flow. As Dan
|
|||
|
says, most of them don't meander; this structure is a result of the water
|
|||
|
carrying silt, building up a restriction where it settles, speeding up
|
|||
|
through the restriction, and slowing down as it exits.

|

|
|

|
<P> Real streams are contingent things, at least at the scale of
|
|||
|
human beings, full of rock outcrops, changes in the lie of the land,
|
|||
|
slide debris, logs and other noise. And silt, carried predictibly by
|
|||
|
faster water to deposit in slower water. Also gravel, cobbles, and
|
|||
|
bolders, carried during the spate when the babbling brook becomes
|
|||
|
the raging torrent, its flow influenced by factors ordinarily far above
|
|||
|
its waterline. As it erodes slowly headward, carrying all to
|
|||
|
lower ground, the things it can reach, first, the rest, later.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> Surprising how hard it is to get a model stream running on a
|
|||
|
uniform substrate to behave according to the model. I've tried.
|
|||
|
Enough to wonder to what extent the patterns we see in streams are
|
|||
|
just our poor minds seeking to impose order where there lies only chaos.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> Though I must vouch for the repetition of the pool-and-riffle
|
|||
|
pattern. With, as Ben says, each pool having head and tail,
|
|||
|
each with their own implications for the behavior of the elusive
|

trout.

I think you are. Linux is NOTHING like Windows and it

MS-Windows OS, then Microsoft released their own

version of Unix with MS apps embedded in it.....try

that.

|

|
<P> BUT, don't leave the land of Linux *just* yet......KDE
|

|
offers a "Windows" feel to it.
|

|
Also, FVWM95 has a near complete look and feel of

Windows.

The "IceWM" also provides a similar style to

<P> Our sysadmin Dan Wilder suggests that a dead drive makes a

|
good weight for a fishing line....

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> Can be used for taking depth soundings also.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> Another use for a dead drive: it contains a couple of magnets
|
|||
|
that are GREAT for picking up small ferromagnetic items, such
|
|||
|
as spilled machine screws or carpet tacks. Also useful for confining
|
|||
|
map pins and paper clips to one corner of the desk drawer. I wouldn't
|
|||
|
be without one! In fact I have a couple in my desk drawer, some
|
|||
|
in each toolbox, and the kids each have a couple to play with.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> Just don't stick it on the fridge. Might be useful for holding small
|
|||
|
piles of recipes, but don't stick it to the fridge without a generous
|
|||
|
cushion or it may chip the paint.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> Many drives are assembled with odd drivers for the screwheads. To
|
|||
|
disassemble, use a small drill to remove the screwheads, when you
|
|||
|
find you don't have a suitable driver.

|
<P> The phrase "compare and contrast" raises warning bells because it sounds
|
|||
|
like a homework question, so my instinctive answer is, "Figure it out
|
|||
|
for yourself. That's why your teacher/professor gave you the question."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> However, we may feel inclined to give some amusing answers if you give
|
|||
|
us more precise information. "The manual system" of what? Playing
|
|||
|
chess on a computer vs a chessboard has a different impact than word
|
|||
|
processing on a computer vs a typewriter, and both are different from
|
|||
|
engineering with a computer vs engineering without, or building
|
|||
|
animation movies on a computer vs in Walt Disney's day.

for just one person, I don't think so. A normal cheapo plan will cover
|
|||
|
$1000 worth of treatment a year. That rate was set thirty years ago when
|
|||
|
$1000 </EM>could<EM> pay for a couple surgeries as well as regular checkups. Try having
|
|||
|
two dental surgeries <EM>this</EM> year and see how far $1000 goes. (Hint:
|
|||
|
you'll have to pay around $800 additional out of your own pocket.)

The UN poses the following question to the assembled representatives of
|
|||
|
different countries: "Please state your opinion about the lack of
|
|||
|
sufficient food in other countries."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<P> Many of the representatives ran into insurmountable problems:<BR>
|
|||
|
<UL>
|
|||
|
<LI> No one in Africa knew the meaning of "sufficient food".
|
|||
|
<LI> No one in Western Europe knew the meaning of "lack".
|
|||
|
<LI> No one in Eastern Europe knew the meaning of "opinion".
|
|||
|
<LI> No one in the US knew the meaning of "other countries".
