Today i found an interesting article for linux like people… talking about TUX (the linux mascot). How many of you knows that name came from (T)orvalds (U)ni(X) ? Hehe.
This article will make a little light about the beginning and evolution of linux mascot/logo and also… the Linus Torvalds e-mail related to that contest of choosing linux logo.
here’s some quotes from that article:

So I’ve been using Vista for a few weeks now and for whatever crazy reason I decided I needed to flush dns. I received this message: “The requested operation requires elevation”. Okay, to get around this go to All Programs, Accessories, right click Command Prompt and click Run as administrator. Good to go!

Update:
I’ve been running Vista for quite some time now and finally got fed up with User Account Control (UAC). What UAC really turns into is security by nagging so I disabled it altogether. To disable UAC open the Control Panel/User Accounts then click Turn User Account Control on or off. Uncheck the box. Click OK.

And… amin! VISTA BITE THE DUST!!! Another customer happy
