Why can Windows and Mac OS X do it so easily, but it's such a pain to do it in X11? Whenever I want to change something, I have to restart X11 entirely, and sometimes it switches what I want to be X screen 0 and X screen 1.

A major part of the world of FOSS is for community contributions, however this can be difficult for people who don't program. One obvious way is to donate money to developers. Another is to write documentation, and another is to hangout on IRC channels and help people with questions.

Let's try to come up with different ways for non-programmers to contribute.

  • Contribute to Vox Forge. All you have to do is record yourself saying a few sentences.

  • Seed torrents for ISOs

So, a year ago I built a decent set, but I skimped out on RAM since I didn't need a lot then and I knew the prices would come down. Since Diablo III is out, I figure it's time to upgrade. This is the RAM I have, and this is the mobo. I want to buy a ~$100 set of 2x8GB, something like this. Anyways, should I buy a different set of RAM than the one I linked, and is it worth it to keep the RAM I have or will it bring down the speed of the new RAM?

I'm taking a class called Money and Banking (it's a 200 level class) and I really enjoy it. The problem is the teacher doesn't lecture a lot and I'm really bad at sitting down and reading. Please don't think I'm a lazy student, but sitting down and reading isn't my learning style. I'm using this book, and it's really good. I just have such a difficult time forcing my way through.

I've been using the Khan Academy, but I was curious if there were any other good resources. Academic Earth didn't seem to have a lot.
