réjean Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I vaguely remembered Bill Gates saying that 640K ought to be enough for anybody but I thought he was talking about money. My wife's machine could use a WinPatrol license if she wins while I keep doing my own Linux patrolling. Quote

réjean Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 What Linux command displays the last part or end of a file without actually editing it? I wasn't sure if the answer was nail or toe but since neither one was offer I would guess it is D. tail. Quote

Guest LilBambi Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Sorry, you make the third or maybe the forth to answer the trick question with that incorrect answer. That's why it is a trick question. Quote
Gazza Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Question 7 - D - None of the above. ESET "Do you realize the pain the industry went through while the IBM PC was limited to 640K? The machine was going to be 512K at one point, and we kept pushing it up. I never said that statement — I said the opposite of that. "Gates talks" (20 August 2001) U.S. News & World Report" Edited April 26, 2012 by Gazza Quote
