Undergrad just provides you with the basic tools you'll need in the field. As such, yes, its boring. However, consider getting an advanced degree in an area you really like. I'm got my undergrad in CS, and now I'm working towards my masters, playing with mobile robots, and other AI applications. Its worlds apart from undergrad.
Remember, lots of people use SUN boxes for things besides just servers. I'm a grad student at WSU and we use all SUN workstations. I'd love to have a better looking desktop than CDE.
I've been using the Mozilla nightly builds for months and www.jibjab.com works just fine. This site uses lots of flash animation. I've just done the install by hand of the flash files into the mozilla plugins dir.
I'd like to start off by saying that I am a HUGE Linux fan, I've been Windows free for years now, but I think its naive to assume that Linux does everything better than Windows does. One of my biggest gripes with Linux is that I can only assign directory or file access based on the user, group, world model. NT allows you to specify lists of specific users. Now before everyone goes off on security issues in Windows, I don't mean that Linux should lift the same exact security model, but it would be nice if we could have a more fine grained control over who accesses what. Does anyone know if there are plans to implement anything like this in the future?
I agree completely, Linus has chosen the best of two bad options. One, he can release a buggy kernel early to meet a deadline. Or two, he can miss the deadline, and release a quality kernel late. If he released a buggy kernel early, he just gives ammunition to companies like MS that claim Linux isn't ready for the big time because 'look at all these bugs.' However, with a late release, the worst anyone can say is that he isn't punctual. I say 'Way to go Linus' keep up the good work.
Lets be real here, Linus is stuck in a no win situation. If he releases early and the kernel is buggy, everyone complains and he just gives people more reason to point out why Linux isn't ready for the big time. On the other hand, if he releases late, people are going to complain, but at least the kernel works. I think he is doing the smart thing here. Personally, I'd rather see a late kernel that is a quality piece of code than an early release that needs patch after patch to work.
Not much more to add. I'm running RedHat Linux, using the 2.2.17 kernel, have the nightly build of Mozilla installed. I downloaded and installed the netscape preview into/usr/local/netscape, cd'ed to that dir and then did./netscape It tries to start and then after about 2 seconds just replies with a message saying that it has crashed. I installed the second preview release of netscape some time ago and it worked just fine, no problems at all.

Thanks! I didn't know if anyone had an implementation. Have you tried using this kernel patch? Do you know if it breaks other programs?

I also tried deleting my .mozilla directory and also removing mozilla completely and it still core dumps every damn time I try to run it!
