Not necessary, just open a new console. The old ones will still have the old PATH loaded.

Here is how to figure it out: Go to wmware.com, then you look around and you'll notice the "Products" link where you'll check out one of the ones you mentioned. We'll start with VMWare Server and you click How To Get It. On that page it says: (my emphasis) End of my ultra short "how to browse the internet and find your answers"-guide. I don't mean to sound condescending, but if you cannot figure out how to compare VMWare's products, are you then competent enough to manage a server and its VPS nodes running in VMs? Furthermore, why did you pick specifically VMWare if you have no idea of what their products offer? There are several others such as VirtualBox, Xen, or OpenVZ that can create virtual machines as well.

Well, still... If I have to allocate 1 GB ram for a VM to run Photoshop or whatever, then I'll already have used half of what's in my computer.

It takes more resources to run an OS plus a VM than it takes to run an OS only. If you have a lot of resources then it isn't a problem, but not everybody do. Also, if you have to use more resources, then you'll have a lower battery time if you're using a laptop that's not connected to a power source.

Officially, anyone who has a special rank and has been inactive for half a year will be demoted. Admins are exempt.

I'm so 1337 that I can decode it just by looking at it

No, sorry, it isn't a "grate [sic] solution"...

Yes, see RFC 1738, section 2.2.

It would be nice to see more detailed stats when you hover over a point on the graphs.

There are many things which a client cannot own if you create something for him. Frameworks, libraries, etc. Otherwise you couldn't reuse any code and you would have to create everything from scratch. That would take a lot more time and it would be much more expensive for the client.

Well, maybe, but people also used them for huge code fragments.

I hated the old tags. They didn't use a monospaced font and there was no scrolling for huge amounts of code. It'll not be reverted.

was given the same style as [code] a [i]long[/i] time ago.

It is actually a feature of SMF.

Learning programming languages is not the point of studying computer science just as studying English doesn't just teach you to speak English...

I don't like SMF, nor do I like phpBB which Maq suggested. Personally I would go with something like vBulletin.

Use Google's cache or Google Translate from English to English. You could also tunnel the connection through your computer at home using SSH.

Well, other people might link to it, corbin. But things like an include folder or config folder shouldn't be within document root in the first place.

Instead of working towards a superficial rank with no meaning you can work to get hand picked for Guru and PFR. To me that would seem more appealing

Rebooting the server fixed it somehow. Weird...

When I try to use man on my VPS I get this: Formatting page, please wait... Error executing formatting or display command. System command /usr/bin/unlzma -c -d /var/cache/man/cat1/man.1.lzma | /usr/bin/less exited with status 1. Does anyone know how to fix that? I'm running Gentoo Linux. I tried merging sys-apps/man again, but that didn't work

The problem with automated stars, ranks, etc. is that they're not necessarily representative of the user's actual skills. As it were before, someone with ten yellow stars and the rank of Genius (5000+ posts) would not necessarily be a genius. In fact, that person might have been posting crap solutions all over the place.

We used to have yellow stars (or gold if you wish)
