The MySQL guru at Yahoo! -- Jeremy Zawodny -- wrote an O'Reilly book on the different hacks and scrapes they needed to make MySQL perform properly. It's full of anecdotes of MySQL brainf**kery and whatnot. If you consider Yahoo! using MySQL to be an endorsement, try reading High Performance MySQL.
Up for a case of beer or two? Come on, these guys left the crappy HTML languish for EIGHT YEARS before updating their site -- during which time they obviously don't even read their own site -- and you think they deserve a reward? They're getting paid to run this site!
I wish I could work two days every eight years and get a case of beer for doing MY JOB.
First, Active Desktop is dead. No one uses it, unless they want to show a JPG or GIF on their desktop.
Second, you're right, IE is much too willing to host ActiveX/COM objects, which makes it weak.
Third, you're right, explorer.exe is the shell, so it's the first application started in a Windows session. If the Active Desktop is turned on and pointed to a site which compromises the machine, the user can keep reinfecting himself simply by logging in! It's wonderful!
Holy FUD, Batman. IE is not tied to the Windows kernel and I defy you to show me how it is. It's tied to the shell, which incidentally is not the kernel.
How many people do you *really* think bought the XBox to run Linux on it, compared to the number of people who bought the XBox to play games on it? I mean, seriously...
There isn't much need to buy an actual SNES Chrono Trigger cartridge if you have a PS1 (or PS2); Final Fantasy Chronicles is widely available for much less money.

If the ESRB had to play through all 60+ hours of every RPG it rates just to make a decision, they'd never get through all the games they have to certify.
This must be true, otherwise Morrowind would have never been rated.
No, no, no... All AJAX apps check to see which browser is being used and then either construct the ActiveX object or the built-in object. I would hope their new technology will add this code.
It's widely held that honesty *is* linked to financial stability. That's why employers will do credit checks -- someone who owes thousands is more likely to betray you for money.
2000 and XP can do semi-software raid, like mirroring and striping. Check out the Disk Management MMC snap-in. We've been doing software mirroring for years and yes, we've hot-swapped out a broken SCSI disk from an eServer and popped in a new one and re-synched the mirror without a second of downtime. Are you sure you can't use Windows?
How can you say that? If the number of upgrades is "nowhere near" the number that got it from their distro, how can you follow with "I'd guess it is close to even"?
True for #1. You should have pointed out that if roaming profiles aren't in use, the installer needs to be run for each user *on each machine*.
As for #2, I have been using Word 2000 for years at work with many advanced features and was stuck using a copy of Word 97 recently, and everything I used was there as well. Someone much smarter than me pointed out at one point that Word 97 contained 99% of the features that anyone would need in a word processor, and every version past it was "feature churn" where features are invented and you're persuaded you need them just so that Microsoft can sell more licenses. The day Office 97 is incompatible with the popular versions of Windows will be a sad day indeed.
I've noticed that job ads usually say "Office", in which case you could omit the truth and say, "yes, I know Office."
In any case, what the employer is asking is that you are proficient with Word, which you likely would be, if you knew OO.org Writer. Ditto for Excel/Calc, etc.
Personally, I use Excel over Calc because OO.org is such a pig and I don't mind Excel. Word is too buggy, so I use OO.org Writer.
OO.org needs a serious Firefoxing, as in slimming down.
Companies are much less likely to download Office than individuals. It's more likely that a company will buy 20 licenses, forget how many they bought a year later and end up installing it on twice as many PCs.

Why do you always give the same score as gamespot.com? Are you afraid to express your own opinion?
What site do you run, mozdev.org?
Don't forget:

Great quote, but irrelevant. She earned an MCAD, not an MCSE. Much different, and much more difficult. (I know, I earned an MCSD. Twice.)
Please RTFA.
Maybe for servers, but not home users. When was the last time you saw a home Linux machine 0wn3d?
(Granted, most people who use Linux at home are knowledgeable enough to keep even a Windows machine safe.)

Mod parent up. The way to change the world is to get business to switch their software, then schools and home users will follow.
School's purpose is to prepare kids for the world. The world uses Office. When more of the world uses OO.org, then I'd want schools to switch.
It's sad, but that's the way it is.
Anyway, all the schools in my district would need hardware upgrades to run OO.org, which is more expensive than an Office license.
