Unfortunately a few PR whores, who don't even represent or consult other Gentoo developers, are quite happy to dignify Sun's dirty tricks in exchange for a bit of free press for themselves (which always looks good on a PhD submission, eh?), and since no-one takes RMS seriously any more he gets ignored on those odd occasions when his rants are actually sane...
...and as soon as you try to use a laptop, it's a pain in the arse. No way I'm carrying a mouse around all the time. That's the main reason I bought a ThinkPad instead.
...they don't care. Nearly all of this censorship is only aimed at chinese citizens, and then only those that happen to be a convenient PR target. Unless you start actively trying to overthrow the government or anything daft like that, they're not interested.
Except that no-one uses slackware any more. They should just give up and join the list of former distros, alongside such former glories as RedHat, Aurora, Debian (are they ever going to do another release? No, didn't think so), Rock, Arch and Mandrake.
Find some way to kill him off and get a nice inheritance. Of course, if you can't get a nice inheritance, there's no point in bothering with what you're asking for anyway.
Which is why you should go with Linux, rather than NetBSD, since NetBSD's notion of "support" runs to "we can get it to boot on this hardware" rather than "works well on this hardware and supports all common drivers". It's also why you shouldn't go with Debian, who just compile for every arch they support -- all things considered, Gentoo is a better bet, since they test for each arch individually rather than trying to force a single identical standardised platform where it's not appropriate.
The first rule of autoconf is to find someone else to do it for you, or if that's really not possible to copy it off some existing code. autoconf is deep scary badly documented hacked together voodoo -- it's really not worth learning it properly unless you're going to be doing distribution work or similar.
The problem with iSCSI is the Ethernet component. It's too slow, craps all over all other Ethernet traffic and nowhere near as reliable as fibrechannel.
In the UK, none, since all the maths and physics you need is covered at high school level (assuming you take physics and maths at A-Level / Advanced Higher / whatever). Your country may vary...
Matrox cards (at least, most of them) are actually properly supported under Linux, complete with vendor-supplied open source drivers. Sure, the 3d performance sucks, but they're better than ATI or nVidia offerings for 2d.
Get them to sign a document accepting full responsibility for all data loss, nasty crashes etc. on their machine. Make sure you include a list (several pages long if possible) of examples of things which they must accept responsibility for if they don't follow the normal security procedures. Either they'll be scared into following the rules or you'll be totally safe when the shit hits the fan.
I contribute to Debian because I enjoy backstabbing, political flamefests, being held up by the oversized rusty buttplugs worn by the managers and having patches rejected because they don't contain the term "GNU" frequently enough.
Oh, wait, no, that's why I stopped.

Debian provides x86-linux, m68k-linux, sparc-linux, alpha-linux, ppc-linux, arm-linux, mips-linux, mipsel-linux, hppa-linux, ia64-linux, and s390-linux. amd64-linux and sh-linux are still a way off.

So you're saying that Visual Basic isn't a toy language, despite its roots? Looks like the same deal to me...
I can't see anything on the linked post that's trolling. That all looks totally true to me. Anyone explain?
Linux than any other operating system. So, uh, what's this guy's argument?
Power4 and UltraSparc kit has supported a *lot* more than 4GBytes of RAM for years. If you want serious kit, buy a serious arch.

Naah. Thanks to the super gcc optimisations they use, Gentoo can compile a userland so quickly it's ready before the product is developed.

...which you can do if you own any popular router anyway, which is why SSL includes various things that make man in the middle ineffective.
There's been a fair bit of discussion about this for vim 7. You might want to grab the .ogg file from vim.org and start reading the vim-dev archives.
Incidentally, it's nothing like O(2^n). Space proportional to the number of changes made is perfectly doable...

What's with Mozilla 1.4, er, I mean 1.5, er, I mean 1.6, er, I mean 1.7 being the Last Release Ever?
Really, any of the traditional protocols that have little or no concept of security.

Looks like he's trying to give the impression that Amazon *is* the only online bookstore. Rather smart PR move there...
If you're going to abuse them for lack of professionalism, why not just point out that they use elements?
