Have you tried spoofing the webserver? (i.e. your browser tells the bank's webserver that it is IE, when it is in fact Safari, Firefox, Opera or whatever). The default.net website sends out custom pages for each type of browser. This is a great temporary workaround and has worked for me many times:
from the Terminal command line: defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
start Safari
select Debug > User Agent and choose a browser
Opera has this capability built in
Firefox and Camino are left as a (trivial) exercise for the reader (a couple minutes searching Google should do it)

It's unfortunate that reporters such as this guy would sensationalize
a talk by carefully crafting his story from bits and pieces mostly
taken out of context. So, in all fairness to my firm and to those who
were not present, I feel compelled to set the story straight.
First off, the story is not an interview even though it may come across
as such. The title is rather sensational but I certainly wasn't
desperate. There were problems and they were fixed and our team was
just very resourceful in doing so.

No, this is taken out of context. What I said was that we had very big
and important changes that we needed to make in order to restore network
and application stability. My reference to just going ahead and doing it
referred to making the necessary changes behind the scenes. It wasn't
about company politics and it wasn't about migrating services from Windows
to OpenBSD. My experience was that we did ourselves a disfavour by trying
to inform and explain to users and management the technical reasons for
the changes that needed to be made. In fact, all of the pushback had
nothing to do with OpenBSD. We needed to migrate from an old Domain
Controller with a corrupt Active Directory to a new one. We also
introduced the concept of working on Application Servers in Terminal
Services to take advantage of server power for resource intensive
applications that ran very slowly on users' PCs. So, the push back was
related to things like "you'll have to login to this new Domain rather
than the old one from tomorrow onwards." or getting users to change the
way they work and use applications running on a Terminal Servers for speed.
In the end, when all was sad and done, users and management realized the
difference that we had made; no more downtime or data loss. Furthermore,
they've never had everything running so smoothly and as efficiently for
as long as they could remember. Their IT problems went away as a result
of our efforts and the decisions that we made.
In fact, all of the migrations to OpenBSD were either behind the scenes
where the users were oblivious to the changes. Well, almost oblivious.
Often times we would get "Hey, the Internet is really fast today, cool!"
or "Man, can you guys like spill some coffee in the server room or
something? We're not used to this much uptime. It means we can't go
home early anymore!"
In those cases where users did have to interact with OpenBSD, it was
always well received and positive such as moving off of a very slow VPN
for remote access on to a quicker and more user friendly alternative
such as port forwarding applications through OpenSSH.

Once again, migrating services to OpenBSD was not an issue. So long as
we did not compromise security in doing so. Generally, we did so to
improve security and that's what OpenBSD is famous for and yet there's
so much more.

The clincher is the part about using OpenBSD to shield a commercial solution from full exposure to the internet. This is a lie of omission, making it yet easier if they want to fire him.
Better reread TFA: He implemented an emergency process to keep the company online. After the crisis was over, he replaced the vulnerable network component(s) with something more robust. Just the sort of thing you'd expect a responsible professional to do. He also ended up saving while saving a big pile of money... No wonder he was promoted!
Then PWC was hit with a virus affecting network traffic and the Checkpoint firewall was running at 100 percent CPU capacity which was effectively a denial of service.
"So we had to put an OpenBSD firewall in front of Checkpoint," he said. "We saved seven salaries worth over one year. It was so dramatic they gave me a big raise and I was promoted from system administrator to IT manager. And because of the savings we get more productivity out of old hardware.".
Just curious, but can anyone compare the new scripting language with Applescript? This OS X scripting language (along with some others) uses Apple's OSA api to speak directly to objects within applications... no pipes required.
Back in the 1980's, IBM came up with a new bus architecture to replace the aging ISA bus... and they insisted that anyone who wanted to use it pay them for the privilege. PC manufacturers responded by designing their own bus which, tho' inferior, was nonetheless free. A very short time later, IBM was an also-ran in the market that it had dominated for years.
That's exactly what I did. I bought a low-cost/hi-quality FM transmitter from these guys and plugged it into my computer. I can listen to my music on any fm radio in the house, in the yard or, for that matter, in some of the neighbors' houses. YMMV, but it sure works well for me

Rather than buying a wi-fi client for each "music box", I bought am low-cost/hi-quality FM transmitter from these guys. I can get my music on any fm radio in the house, the yard (or, for that matter, at some of the neighbors' houses). One example: I can have a custom playlist for a dinner party on the living room stereo. A second example: I listen to tunes on a boom box while I'm working in the yard. YMMV, but it sure works well for me!
You're both missing the point: It's the music publishers who make the money; not the artists. Until P2P came along, music publishers had a natural monopoly on distribution, so artists were forced to sign over their copyrights to the publishers if they wanted their music to be recorded and heard. The music publication industry is terrified of the new distribution technologies. It is working hard to keep the right to steal from both the artists and their audiences.
The Moon orbits the Earth every 27.3 days, not every 24 hours. The Earth rotates once in a 24 hour period. The Earth's rotation is gradually slowing, due to the gravitational influence of the Moon.
The length of the year has NOTHING to do with the Moon! The Year is the time it takes for the Earth to travel once around the Sun.
Each orbit around the Sun (each year) takes a slightly different period of time than previous orbits. This is due to the gravitational influence of other bodies in the solar system (but not the moon).
Leap seconds are inserted to correct for the variation in the length of the year. This correction is necessary for agriculture, navigation and astromomy. Due to the chaotic nature of orbital mechanics, you can't predict exactly when a leap second will be needed.
You're just making excuses. I spent 30 seconds with Google and found this:
The mini supports 1920x1200 displays, both vga and dvi. Your Dell 20" is 1680x1050 pixels. Other people are already using the dell 20" with the mini.
