I think the author is being willingly blind for the sake of the story. Looking at the last few hundred years it is obvious that technological advances are working on something of an exponential curve and that they are going at a rate now so much faster than 100 years ago that our perceptions of them have changed. We now see the huge advances as the norm rather than the exception, whereas in the authors referenced time frame we saw relatively small advances as rare and groundbreaking.
The American founding fathers were mostly liberals in the liberal-conservative debates of their day, which is one reason there's a bit of confusion.
This is true as long as you remember that this is not the modern day liberalism. The closest thing in modern day political parlance would be libertarianism.

I think the async based servers are all immune to this as it depends on the limitation of the thread/process overhead on the number of connections that can be handled concurrently.
So nginx should be immune as I know it is async based. I'm not sure about cherokee and can't seem to find any quick answers. But you should be able to find out if you dig a bit.
I can't find a reference to it. Certainly they submitted a bug report. They mention they found it on debian, so it seems like they would have file one.

Yet he just finished paying someone else a lot of money for the same thing. At least this time it wouldn't cost more than his time. Plus he'd have the potential of working with experts in the field he is trying to get into, many of whom work for the companies he'd eventually be trying to get a job at. I'd say it makes perfectly good business sense.

I think you need to recheck your facts here. Many of the countries with socialized medicine are currently working on revising it as it has failed in many ways. I don't have a list of all the countries currently working on changing, but you can look at one that already has.
A couple of years ago Netherlands privatized their health care system and from all reports it has been a great success. It is not a pure private system, it has some strict regulations, but it is definitely not socialized.
After a quick google, here are a couple references.

I've liked many aspects of Linux for a long time, but the #1 thing that turns me off it is the userland tools.
What don't you like about them? I personally prefer the GNU tools to the older BSD derivatives.
BSD style UNIX is the only layout worth a dam, give that the BSD layout is more prevalent, then Linux, Sun should go back to it.
Solaris uses the System V layout which is very common, more common that the old BSD layout in my exerience. Linux has no single layout. Slackware uses the BSD layout while Redhat and Debian use the System V layout. Then you have other distros like Arch and Gobo that use neither. Though the LSB does have System V as the standard.
Bingo. Sony really screwed themselves by telling the porn industry to bugger off. No matter what the numbers are now, HD-DVD is destined to win as the porn industry has standardized on it. See links in previous post [1] for links to stories.
Wrong. HD-DVD has already won. The Porn industry recently decided to standardize on it. Just search google-news for "hd-dvd porn" for some references. Or here's a few for the lazy.

Wow, never thought I'd see common sense creep into any courtroom when it came to copyright. Doubt it will last.
I use Level3's anycast dns resolvers. They are fast and work great. Pair them with a local dns cache and you'll be golden.
4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3, 4.2.2.4, 4.2.2.5, 4.2.2.6

I thought nginx was strictly an async based server like lighttpd? Every resource I find states this and the 2 are often compared due to this.

A more appropriate comparison might be to UGA's AI Center which is quite a good program, just more oriented toward logic and AI than engineering.
So your advice is to not vote? I mean if you eliminate the libertarian candidates there's no one left.
This is a implementation/compiler issue. There is no real reason why message passing can't be as fast as shared-state parallelism.
