Simple Way to Format USB Stick – Ubuntu 10.10

Package: gnome-disk-utility Description: manage and configure disk drives and media palimpsest (from the gnome-disk-utility project) is a tool to manage disk drives and media: . * Format and partition drives. * Mount and unmount partitions. * Query SMART attributes. . It utilizes udisks. Homepage: git.gnome.org

Ubuntu install, can I install on one computer, then move the drive to another computer to use it?

Was curious if I could install Ubuntu on one computer, then pull the hard drive out and put it into another computer to use it?

Reason is the other computer doesn’t have a CD player or a floppy drive.

So just curious if anyone has tried this method, and if ubuntu does work or if it requires a lot of tinkering to get it running since it was installed one on machine and actually booting and running on another.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

WordPress, Bluehost, blogs…what to do ?

Right, so i’m confused.
I want to start a blog on wordpress but people tell me bluehost is useful. I’m not sure what it does exactly, i’m assuming it’s just a host ?
From what i gather, i should start a wordpress blog and then use it on a bluehost host….does that sound logical or am i just rambling nonsense ?
All i want to do is start my own blog but i dont want to have some half-wit blog creating site that looks like it’s operated by a 4 year old twilight fan.
Help.

In layman's terms, what is the "open source" movement and what does it aim to change about today's society?

So what is the "open source movement"? The little snippets of information that I’ve managed to gather tell me that the proponents of the open source movement want the right to be able to modify and redistribute software as they wish. So does this mean that they’re unsupportive of the current software copyright laws?

Is there a difference between open-source and free software?

I apologize for my ignorance, but I’ve only recently discovered an interest in programming.

Working with the Official jQuery Templating Plugin

Just this week, the jQuery team announced that Microsoft’s templating plugin (along with a couple others) is now being officially supported. What this means is that the plugin will now be maintained and updated directly by the core team. In this video tutorial, we’ll review the essentials of the plugin, and why it’s so awesome. net.tutsplus.com
