64 bit is often just a recompile away on Mac and Linux. Windows is a very different beast. A lot of Windows software does not support 64 bit, or offers only experimental support for it.
Let's say that the PRISM program managed to stop X number of terrorist attacks. As an NSA employee you might very well consider your work to be of good. Otherwise you would probably not work there. And this is probably true for many types of jobs. Good is a relative term, it depends on the viewer.
That's also why I like Win and Mac: when I pay, I get a premium OS, with less bugs, missing features and crashes, than I have with a Linux desktop distro.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux costs money; and that's even a subscription, not just pay once. That must be good then.
That's something that I've not heard then. Sounds more like something Gnome would do. Maybe I should check out Epiphany again just to see if something like that is going on.
Some of the best C programmers I know are system administrators. Going into the source code to something really helps when you're debugging why a specific service doesn't work or program X hammers the NFS share with 4 kB requests.
After working with a lot of computer scientists with PhD and everything I can tell you that a lot of them don't mess around with programming and that you probably don't want them to. The union between the people who climb high on the academic ladder and the people who actually know how to program is remarkably small.

Unless you torture the cross checker I guess.
This is why you should not listen to non-free music. Only listen to free as in speech music. There. Problem solved.
Or something completely different: fvwm2
Stable as stone.

And a couple of other distributions as well, including Debian 6 and Ubuntu 10.04. Use Firefox or Chromium instead if your distributions supports it.
If you don't trust Microsoft then you should of course not trust their key either.

I'm not sure but it should run as long as you have Java. Scala compiles down to Java byte code.
There is a nice looking framework for Scala called Play. I think that could be a good alternative. http://www.playframework.com/
They will? I thought that was classified.
Well, I guess it comes down to trust and if you trust the vendor.
Some laptops actually has this built into UEFI. So it can survive a reinstall.

It's not free, unless you're a student and has access to MSDNAA or something.
Some techies will, but most people won't. They don't care.
I don't think that page you linked to is updated. Motif was recently open sourced under LGPL.

They even open sourced CDE under the same license not long before that.

Not if you want things like menus and buttons, which I've heard Firefox has.
I use Lesstif almost every single day since it's used by Xpdf and I've yet to find a better PDF reader than Xpdf.

And just to show off my complete incompetence I of course mean intersection, not union.

So as long as Oracle doesn't buy GNU we're fine, right?
That has happened before
