Women have a duality about them, a wave (sex object) and particle (higher intelligence) duality. You must learn to see them as both. And always remember that physics solves everything.
I see no advantage to having the the X Server running as an "xserver" user versus running as a regular user. If there isn't an advantage, then its an unnecessary complication.
The original goal is to develop an excellent system based on linux, GNU software, and other free software. If all of your.NET developers jump to Windows, you are failing (to the extent that your systems use.NET). I guess you could call that a religion, but I think calling it a philosophy would be more accurate. Honestly, if you don't see the importance of that goal, why are you even posting in this thread?
Or maybe putting down software engineering in regards to "real" engineering is the sort of feel-good certificate-of-achievement bullshit the OP was opposing.
I was with you up till the last paragraph. Government jobs are good. They are a necessary evil that keeps society functioning smoothly. Without society functioning smoothly, things would cost more. I guess the key determination is what keeps society functioning smoothly.
And I don't think there is such a thing as a wealth generator, otherwise I would have built it!
And that whole "businesses generate wealth that feeds back in the economy" sounds like trickle down economics.
I assume by "seasoned" programmers, you mean ones that are entrenched at their current company. If so, then you must realize that they are there, because they are making more money then they deserve. They will mostly try to discredit their fellow employees in everything they do. Because, a discredited peer is one that won't be stealing their raise. You will be hearing lots of phrases with "since the beginning" and "experience" in them.
What you must do is to show no favor to one or the other. That way they will continue fight for a competitive advantage for review time. I'd also advise bringing in some extremely young programmer and sing his or her praises. Call the young programmer "hotshot" and "guru". There is nothing more that they will hate than this programmer. You can use this hate to blackmail them into working more. You may be able to even get them to do some overtime.
I'm uncomfortable about how close this new educational program sounds like a trade school education. A person going to a university for a programming education should be looking for more than "how to program". Programming is just a means to end. The question is, what is the end.
I believe there are just two ends that a person pursuing a degree in programming would desire. One is to learn about the math/logic side of programming. Algorithmic efficiency for the diverse set of problems that emerge in programming would be the chief subject of study. I would classify this pursuit as computer science. The other end would be the social side of programming, that I would classify as software engineering. It would be concerned with constructing frameworks that a large group of people would use to create programs.
I do also think there should be trade school courses for programming. The computer scientists and software engineers should make sure this could be completed in two years. This is probably the biggest failure of those involved in programming today. You shouldn't need to have a four year degree to do simple programming. I personally have wasted too much of my life writing programs that should have been available or connectable to my current environment.

how dare they!

The solution is clear to me. I would stop using XML.
That extra level of seperation would add no security benefits, so would be unnecessary.

local and remote would work better for the computers
It is surprising how quickly acedia becomes wrath at the pride of those who don't think depression is a mental illness.
I think he means companies that "live by free" are ones that give content or a service away for free and attach advertising to it.

The OP said periodicity of the pendulum rather than its motion. So I'd guess that would be how fast the sine wave decays.
I'd say engineering is building something and science is determining how something works. Is that too simplistic?
