I work at Office Depot and the management practically worships my technical prowess. The other day, I had a customer ask for a NIC, not knowing what it was, and I showed her immediately to the $15 Linksys 10/100 adapter and sent her on her way. Turns out that she had gone through half the management and two employees while I was on break and no one had a clue. I feel sorry for the few like me who know their shit but work retail for unavoidable reasons.
Hopefully AMD/ATI will compete by open-sourcing the drivers for their integrated chipsets. Some healthy competition would definitely help the Linux desktop.

Want to make the most of your screen real estate? Try using a tiling window manager, such as ion or (my favorite) wmii. If you're an emacs fanatic, try ratpoison; the keybindings are similar. You'll never resize again.
Great, then rewrite all those awesome GPL libraries you link to and release the code under BSD. Better yet, just release it into the public domain, with *no* strings attached. Nobody's holding a gun to your head, and frankly, nobody cares what you do with *your* code. However, if you use *my* GPL'd code in your BSD-licensed program, you had better GPL your project, otherwise someone may take credit for *my* work; leaving you with one pissed-off developer hounding your ass.
Keeping OpenSSH environments secure requires constantly updating the environment with latest security patches. However, updating OpenSSH servers involves an extremely laborious and time-consuming process of source-code compilation, testing, installation, and configuration. In large-scale environments this leads to a heavy administrative burden and increased costs. As a result, during the times of constrained IT budgets many organizations have been forced to neglect frequent security patches and software updates making them vulnerable.
Hmm... if any of these corporations hire a moran who can't run make on one system and distribute the binary throughout a network, they deserve what they get. I doubt Tectia can make it simpler than that. Hell, one could write a friggin' perl script to do it for them.
It seems that SSH Communications assumes retarded sysadmins are the norm in IT.
From ca. 1994:
Sony can do absolutely nothing. They don't have a platform to build a system around with an existing game base (like Nintendo did) and they don't have a network of developers that will create games for a brand new platform (like Nintendo has.) So speculating about an Sony gaming comsole is a complete waste of time.
Next question.
Fortunately for now, security through obscurity prevails for Firefox, since most exploits will likely target IE users. However, Firefox's development model is inherently better than IE's with regards to security, since the status of these vulnerabilities is known to all and they are fixed much more quickly. Why Microsoft is still in the browser game with their lame, few-and-far-between updates is beyond me.
Not to be YAGZ (Yet Another Gentoo Zealot), but one thing I love about Portage (and this applies to RPM/apt-get based distros to some degree) is the easy availability of up-to-date packages in a single location. With Windows, it would take all of a day to browse around the Internet and update my programs; with Gentoo, a simple "emerge sync && emerge -UD world" keeps my system cutting-edge. Microsoft couldn't hope to match this ease, simply because of the relative lack of free/GPL'd apps for the Win32 platform.

Kudos to Phil for standing up against one of our nation's greatest imbeciles.
Umm... you're a troll. This feature absolutely, positively does not exist in bash (the default shell in Gentoo).
Except your post doesn't count as irony; merely wit.

You think you can scare me with a measly lizard? In fact, I think I'll take its corpse to ward off the cockatrices.
No, GNU/SunOS is appropriate. Linux is a kernel, not ls/grep/etc. Without the Linux kernel, there is no "Linux" involved.
Ass.
Likewise, your local fire department doesn't burn your house down as a training exercise.

Well, let's try it. The following values were obtained via, well, Google:
Number of volumes: 22,000,000 (from the Harvard & University of Michigan collections)
300 pages per volume
Average image size of a page scan: We'll say 1MB.
Top speed of a Boeing 767: 850 kph (the Boeing website lists the value in nasty British units)
Distance from LA to New York: 3960 km
52,800,000,000,000 kilobits / 16,770 s =
3,148,479,427 KB/s or 3.15 terabits per second.
Damn.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dennis Miller!

Free, or $200?
