I mean, usually any business that wants unix will go with Linux, and in some cases AIX, etc.
*buzz*
No no no no no. Financial institutions use AIX loads closely followed by HPUX then Solaris. Telcos etc use a lot of Solaris and then HPUX and AIX. In reality, apart from dishing out html, Linux has a very small footprint in the business scene right now. It's growing, but mainly because Linux is a geek thing. The IT depts of the world are staffed by geeks.
So I served as a kind of bridge for my more geeky friends to the "normal" kids.
If that's true, and you carry that to your professional career, you can clean up. Some people just hate talking to people. Fact. Some of these people are talented programmers. The skills are not in any way mutually exclusive, but they are very different.
A gross over simplification would be:
Great at tech, bad at people == coder. Bad at tech, great at people == marketing. Good at tech, good at people == the boss.
the karma. But I have been on slashdot for over 4 years now and this is the first story I have seen about my old University.
Point of interest: One of our Profs got the (joint) Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996 for Buckminsterfullerene - the third form of solid carbon. My final year project was based on the stuff. Woo!
Yay to Sussex - it is a lovely place and some of the happiest times of my life. Any campus with 8 seperate bars has to be a cool place to spend a few years.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but from zdnet:
CRS-1, which previously had been code-named HFR for Huge Fast Router,
Yes yes, I'm sure that while in dev the 'F' stood for 'Fast'.
Was this Piers Morgan's fault too?
Robots with human faces strike me as creepy
Hence the difference between the 3000 and 4000 series.

Dual Pentium IIs?

A CD cost next to nothing to produce, but they are quite expensive when you purchase one of your favorite artist. Why? Because of the content.
Before I became a computer geek, I was a Chemistry geek at Sussex Uni.
Sussex being home to Prof Sir Harry Kroto - one of the discoverers and subsequntly Nobel laureates with Smalley and Curl.
My final year project was on high temp superconducting C60 intercalates. There could be some fullerenes in your PC one day!
80% of all little people (to use the PC term) are in the entertainment industry.
You are joking right?
Even if they don't give any money directly or code themselves, they are creating jobs for people with skills in open source software.
It's always so funny to see what else these people buy/sell. ;-)

Cannon fodder?
it just says 'just in case'. Frankly I'm suprised they didn't have this in place since the 80s.
change it to an MCSE. They should leave me alone then.

I remember this. She was an NMR researcher.
I wasn't too happy when my girlfriend started using that stuff in her project.
Horrid, horrid stuff.
There's a target demographic for you. Someone who listens to ogg formatted audio and jogs. Gotta be at least three or four people in that group.
Jogggers?
