Since 90+% of your clients will be MSFT shops, drink the koolaid. Get an MSDN subscription. Buy a big multicore machine, and you can all learn on VMs. Master all the MSFT (RIS, SMS, etc) and bolt-on tools (NetPro, GPA, etc). Learn to do everything the MSFT way, and you won't starve (at least until Linux takes over, if and when). In your spare time, look at alternative desktop environments for tip and tricks.
There wouldn't be certain loss of life from famine if we stopped mass-producing livestock, since you can grow much more grain than meat on a piece of land.
This won't help your pet poor people. This paper assumes relatively high bandwidth, and examines latency introduced by things like pipelining and script execution. If you have a slow pipe, whether you open 2 TCP sessions to 1 server, or 10 to 5 servers, you're limited by your slow pipe. You need localized caching and prefetching logic to keep your pipe full all the time, so that when people need the data, its likely already there.
If you think that the CIA has no longer-term agenda than whatever the current administration is looking at, I'm afraid you're naive. There's plenty of people working there from before 2000.
Is Bush "seeking" these new powers, or are they pushed onto the Executive branch because people in the CIA want to use other provisions of them (no habeus corpus, etc) ? Is he really twirling his moustache over this, or is he the patsy?
Either way it sucks, but don't give him more credit than he deserves. He's no Sith Lord.
Since the implicit acceptance of statism and socialism in America, it really doesn't matter if Democrats or Republicans run the show. We're all screwed. This just eliminates the paper waste, so we're less screwed in the short term.
This is ultimately going to have a negative, and dumbing-down effect on their business. Suddenly experienced DBAs will be fighting for their lives against PHBs who think that they can buy an appliance, and have it just work. Since there was a 'create DB wizard' in the PHP-based GUI, the PHB will suddenly consider himself a DBA, and immediately begin figuring out how he can dump the 'deadwood' on his DBA team, i.e. all of them. Then the false economy of hiring 30K a year 'admins' will set in. The final stage will be hiring of consulting companies to come in and replace their 'appliance' DBs with real ones, completing the circle, except now the salary is turning into H1B funds and lining PWC's pockets, instead of being an investment in the people in the company that made the idiotic decision in the first place.

Since you're trying to filter people's web access, and block teh pr0n, I'd say you should look into decent web caching software. Something like Squid surely has a way to only allow certain URLs.
Editors, please stop with these simpleminded, Roland Piquipalle-style questions at the ends of submissions. It's posted to Slashdot, you're GOING to get comments on it, no need to say "gee guys, what do you think about $FOO? "
OOo rocks because of PDF Export, MS format import, and it works both on OSX and Win32, so I can heartily recommend it to any user who needs a good Word-reader, PDF writer tool.
I think this coupled with a small, cheap solar install on every rooftop could significantly cut power usage. With advances like this this, its doable - not to power your house, but to help distribute generation capacity and smooth out load peaks. Of course, solar cell manufacture consumes a lot of energy and can create industrial waste issues, but the point is to get the power generation somewhere dirty and concentrated, rather than smogging up everything.
Steve, I hate to break it to you, but if the average Slashdotter manages to get a real girl into his parents' basement, his poor personal hygene will keep her much farther away than 2 feet.

How do they get less than a 50% average that you'd get by just guessing?
(yes, assuming a normal distribution of 'concepts' in the pictures, etc)

"arguably more than your fair share"
So what, we're going to socialize the Internet now?
Specified but not mandatory. Thus the description of "browser oddness".
No wireless. No USB. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.

Anyone else misread the headline? I expected the article to be another instance where he was lambasting a company for misusing GPL code.

This just in: Network guys can snoop all your network traffic! Server admins can read your data files!!1!eleventy-uno!!!
What's next from these jokers? An article about how your janitor can look at your trash?

Geez, who is running this thing, the PHB?
Students will just fill it up with pr0n, warez and mp3s. Trust me. Besides any kid nowadays will have a portable device of some sort.
How about a cluster, to let some kids do cluster programming, or an app design class for clusters?

Yes, its safe for work. Just reminiscing about old trolls.

Let them rot inside their medieval country. If they fsck with anyone outside their reality-distortion field, nuke them.
Sorry, KDE on Linux only = nobody cares.

And when was the last time any of them actually died?
I think I hear the sound of your head being extracted from your ass.
For a white guy? I think not.
So therefore we should welcome our new, privacy-invading overlords, until it gets 10x worse, THEN complain?
