re we going to do about the exponential growth in Ubuntu success
and exposure?
How are we going to continue to flourish and grow while "the masses"
arrive with their questions and bug-reports?
Perhaps I'm seeing something that isn't there. Perhaps others are
already thinking a
he "best" answer. Just
because the masses think the answer is right, doesn't make it so.
"karma" can be a useful indication of activity, but in my experience
it's no indication of expertise.
And typically, using launchpad as an example, experts don't seem to get
re heartening and indicate to me
that there are others thinking about this. What I don't know is if the
proposed methods can scale more than a single order of magnitude, which
is not even close to being enough to deal with a bell-curve that is
heading this way.
It would be really productive i

I've been toying with the idea of starting a road-show that teaches
computer meta skills in small groups, face to face. The challenge for me
is to figure out how to deliver that and how to pay for it.

the backup services such a solution offers.
Finally, you could probably create a "safe" terminal, but personally I
do not think that this is a good idea because then you would have a
tar command in a "safe" environment (with a --backup flag) and the
same tar command in the &
the
path you're advocating will make it better. Education is the key.
Of course, you could come up with an alias like "tar_backup" and update
the man page to reflect that.
A completely different approach could be that the calls that actually
write to a file check that the file doe
oken language would
be phased out over time. Perhaps the IEC did pronounce them out aloud so
we would all be embarrassed into using the SI units :)
And just in case anyone else was as confused as I was, wikipedia cleared

instead dividing the number of bytes by a power of 10.
