People who have never tried this before will learn enough to be able to download Windows installation media, hunt down drivers, and reinstall their own operating system. Technical users who have done all of this before can pick up some information about how Windows installation media and the Windows activation process have changed since the Windows XP days. And everyone should come away with an idea of what goes into installing Windows from scratch on a new PC, and just what that $99 will pay for. I'm Earl Scheib, and I'll repave any PC for $29.95.

Whether or not ad networks actually abide by the setting is another question entirely.

We've got the Raspberry Pi, we've got the Cotton Candy. Add to those the Mele A1000, the VIA APC, the MK802 and more, and it's becoming increasingly difficult not to compute like a Lilliputian. Where's it all going? Mighty works from little kernels grow.

Computer programming and computer science are related, of course. But they're not the same thing. Computer programming is like writing and performing music, and computer science is like music theory. All the theory in the world won't help if you don't learn how to code.
