Just a word of warning; this will not work. If they can't figure out how to communicate with IRC and all the rest of the internet at their fingertips, they're sure as fuck not gonna get along any better when you cram them in a conference room at the ass crack of dawn and shake them up to see if they fight.
Most libraries in rural America are generally exclusively for books on non-controversial topics. Even if you could convince the communities to fund computers in the library as a more efficient delivery method for said approved books you would never trick them into believing the internet doesn't represent an unacceptable risk of exposure to controversial information.
Yes, and then if the connection randomly resumes while you're being beaten down, cops could show up and arrest all the hookers and some EMTs could come by and revive you/apply first aid, then they all walk away like nothing ever happened. Brilliant.

I have a completely different prediction: you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Nothing can kill OpenGL, if DirectX couldn't do it, certainly not this proprietary shit.
Hammerwatch (also recently released on Steam) actually does support exactly that. Its an indie title though and I expect most larger game publishing firms demand that you do not build in features to the game that allow you to buy less copies per person.
You might be surprised. I'd only try SteamOS under the pretext it would be easier to integrate with Steam than Debian, and less insecure/pointlessly obfuscated than Ubuntu. Nobody else I know who uses Steam uses it on Linux (despite the demonstrated framerate improvements in tf2/l4d2) because Linux itself is perceived as too hard to install and use. All SteamOS has to do is keep me satisfied and be easier to get up and running with optimized hardware 3d accerlation and a Steam client than Ubuntu or Windows. If they can pull that off they really could rake in millions of new users that "care" about open source software, even if most of those are just their own former Windows client users who are only looking for any upgrade path that doesn't include Windows 8.
Well, by many other accounts in the same book, God's own visage is terrifying, so he often sends his servents when his intent is not to scare the shit out of the recipient of the message.
You may have stumbled onto why Tesla cars are so popular amongst the people who've bought them despite all the saber-rattling the dealerships are doing.
No, he's a NARC that doesn't get laid. If pressed he'll probably claim to actually *like* art, sex and music, but if pressed harder won't be able to recall the last time he enjoyed any of the above.
The part all the astro turfing zealot down-modders don't get is that I'm not trying to actually shit on PostgreSQL I'm simply accurately answering the actual question, which is why PostgreSQL never gained the traction MySQL did. These are important issues to the executives no matter what the script kiddies and junior developers think. Another important issue was the willingness of MySQL to offer multiple license terms. They offered GPL for the education/small business crowd, and they offered a commercial license for companies that would only consider a solution that offered commercial support. If i recall, PostgreSQL offered neither commercial support nor even an open source license that had the street-cred benefit of having being adopted by other projects.
It only seemed to support those features because they were provided as bolt-on 3rd party mods. Officially supported though they were not (*at least* as late as 2002) and for board-room business decisions that is all the difference that matters.
The primary arguments against it traditionally (though these may be out-of-date now, and there have historically been some very popular 3rd party patches to add these features) for business customers have been that it doesn't do users/permissions or network connections. So, basically its like MySQL with more Oracle-esque PL/SQL language extensions, but no GRANT tables and no clustering features. So, really its more like a stand-alone flat-file database handler like Berekly DB or SQLite that just happens to have some high-end query syntax.
Saying "yea but its faster than MySQL if you train harder, and all the missing features can be added in a comletely unsupported fashion with no network of trust" never sells to business executives. They would rather buy faster servers than let you spend business hours getting smarter.
No, and you never actually should have trusted it. None of us did, we all stopped using it the moment the NSA advocated it, just like we stopped trusting every single crypto standard and favorite security tool they promoted, merely because they promoted it so suspiciously, long long before it was public knowledge the agency had gone rouge.
It still makes me chuckle when I hear people worryingly speculate whether SELinux has backdoors. SELinux doesn't have backdoors, SELinux IS A BACK DOOR!!! *Actually read the instructions* for configuration of this tool and you'll see what I mean. Its security-through-obscurity at its worst. At best you can increase the illusion of security to untrained staff members. Anyone who has read the manual though knows there's one command anyone can use to gain root access more easily than if SELinux had not enabled or installed.
NO. The answer is NO, absolutely not, but only because the people you've been told are "Rockstar Developers" are actually promising rookies having smoke blown up their asses so hard they are floating on the air pressure.
Real top-notch developer talent doesn't have "3 to 5" years of experience. Real rockstar developers aren't working at your crappy web publishing sweatshop slinging Joomla and motherfucking jquery.

Well it does actually do a better job of predicting the weather than weathermen, usually, but there is still room for improvement.
Hey Meg,
Just a word of warning; this will not work. If they can't figure out how to communicate with IRC and all the rest of the internet at their fingertips, they're sure as fuck not gonna get along any better when you cram them in a conference room at the ass crack of dawn and shake them up to see if they fight.
Sincerely,

I object to the statement that the Nvidia binary drivers treat the fans "properly."
I want to hear more about the features they've been leaving out of the Linux drivers to make Windows support superior.

Disgusted with the poor state of Serbia's research output, I will now also scam a Romanian science journal.

Hmm. Upload bandwidth is curiously difficult to get a lot of when using a residential connection. You may be on to something there...
Shh!!! You're foiling the NSA's plan!
