The hub?  I suspect 192.168.1.1 is the broadband modem. Usually bb
modem's have two interfaces - public and local.
 curl ifconfig.me/ip -> will show you the public Ip address of the modem

Yes, possible. Are the machines configured for static or dynamic IP address?
 Usually Broadband Modem/Routers  run DHCP service these days.

Why not open 192.168.1.1 in the browser? It's probably the modem.
If you have the credentials, login and see the configuration.

Ctrl+W also does the same (deletes word to left of cursor)

I also find these useful
CTRL+D - deletes character at cursor
ALT  +D  - deletes word to right of cursor
CTRL+A - moves cursor to beginning of line
CTRL+E - moves cursor to end of line

on the contrary kg's post was more like a word of mouth which IMHO is
much better than long boring
job description written by someone who might not really know what he
writes. anyone attracted by the keyword
django and interested enough to apply will find a way to find more
information about the opening.

also do you rely on the description of the recruiting company on the
job description? any serious taker will do his own research.

in Xen, would you call Dom0 the host?
Dom0, a special domain (VM) too runs on top of Xen
ESX, COS is not the host as VMkernel runs the hardware
Here too, COS is a special VM running on top of VMkernel.
There is also something similar in Hyper-V


In Hypervisor based Virtualisation Softwares, I do think the control consoles
are host as they do not really host the VMs. They can just communicate with
the Virtualization Layer which other user created VMs cannot. And Hypervirsor
based virtualizations softwares are installed on bare metal.

Of course, VirtualBox, VMware server, VPC all needs bases OS as the host.
Yes, the tasks you mentioned are right.

Read:
http://codingexperiments.com/archives/149

the article use Google Trend to measure, during the period 2004 - 2008.

Growing, You're Dying"
http://www.louisgray.com/live/2008/06/on-web-if-youre-not-growing-youre-dying.html

it shows Debian, Redhat, Fedora, Suse, OpenSuse,
Slackware  declining.

but Ubuntu grows a lot.

the last graph shows  the term ubuntu has become almost as
popular as Linux.

I did a Google Trend search with all of these "debian, redhat, fedora,
slackware, suse, opensuse , ubuntu"
http://www.google.com/trends?q=debian%2C+redhat%2C+fedora%2C+slackware%2C+suse%2C+opensuse+%2C+ubuntu&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=1

but Google Trend seems to have limitation of 5 terms.

I do not know what is in the book but my experience at Chennai US consulate says
the executives doing the VISA interview seem to give importance to
degree and what degree.

In the counter next to me, I clearly heard someone being loudly told

This probably is a direct application of an American idea to an Indian
