Simplest X-Session:
put "exec xterm" into ~/.xinitrc and make in executable (chmod 755 .xinitrc).

It starts an X-Server and now window manager, just an xterm where you can start your application.

I love Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. It's a mashup between round-based strategy, roleplay and jump 'n run. It's very similar to the good old Paper Mario (not Super Paper Mario on the Wii).

nomisxid is right. startx starts the xserver on that specific machine. It simply executes the binary "X". If you want to have xfce running, have a look at the .xinitrc in your $HOME or the system wide configuration. It will contain the correct script or binary to start the xfce DE.

What would happen, if you have these examples:

Someone requests simple.sub.domain.com and sub.domain.com.
This would lead to
/home/domain/sub/simple
and the second subdomain to
/home/domain/sub
where you could see the directory "simpl"e as a subdirectory of his sub.domain.com.

Is that what you want?

I think the shoes are made by pleaserUSA, perhaps you can find a dealer in your area. I can recommend underground boots. I'm sure they have similar boots.

Konami released a Dance Dance Revolution title for the Wii. I haven't played the Wii Version, because it isn't released in Germany yet.
But I don't think there are any differences too older versions (besides you can use your hands now, feat. the wiimote).

Alright, I think the Thalys has a direct route from paris to cologne. The ICE is the german equivalent, you can check it here: Deutsche Bahn (includes Thalys routes). But it seems they don't have any traffic in the early morning hours.

And you should know, if you are planing traveling in the next weeks. German loc. drivers are in a labour dispute and could go on strike any day. Thalys is not german though.

Safe time and effort and use a desktop wiki. I can recommend MoinMoin DE. The only thing it needs is a python installation.
You start MoinMoin DE, it runs a webserver on localhost with a running wiki. It stores all its information in the filesystem, you don't need any database.

You mention uTorrent. Do you run eMule or another client for the eDonkey network?

It's some kind of p2p-Application. It was just a wild guess, because IIRC the client and the way it downloads things stressed the harddisk. Friends of mine suffered harddisk failure because they used it frequently.

In my opinion the hardware depends more on the function of the server, less on the OS the server runs.

History: Executed commands don't go to the history file immediatly. The bash history is kept in the computers memory as long as the bash process remains. When you close one the bashs, it's written to disk.
I don't think you can share the history over multiple bash processes easily.

I think acpi is the best chance. Are you sure you have all the different acpi modules available (speaking in linux terms)? Perhaps there are some special acpi modules for the hardware. I'm using ibm_acpi on my laptop for the thinkpad features.

Shyness and Introversion are distinct things. They are somehow related though.
The first step, for me as an introvert, was to accept that it is unlikley to expect to be an extrovert in the future. Introversion is one of the Big Five personality traits (actually extraversion is, but it's a dimension) which are known to be stable over time.

Why is smooth peanut butter cheaper than nutty?

I guess because nutty peanut butter actually contains peanuts whereas smooth peanut butter only contains flavors which are not made from real peanuts and therefore the smooth butter much cheaper.
