I'm not sure your car analogy is apropos. You had a chance of wrenching on an old Buick. Also, back in the day, the impact of a frizbee did not trigger $4k in damage. You never get out of a body shop for less than $4k.
"all of the above"
You really should have a good grasp of the concepts of programming languages, so that you can work with the bulk of projects that come your way.
A little scripting, a little functional, a little procedural, a little OO, all combine to make Jack a versatile hacker.
Open Source is a methodology.
The dialogue between proprietary and F/OSS is the same one that has gone on between industry and academia.
The result should be the same: two ecosystems that cross-pollinate, if you'll forgive my free abuse of terms.
Excellent. I, for one, look forward to funding both your doughnuts and your healthcare.
The bad news is that, after your death, your resulting cinderblock of a heart will be excavated to go into Pharoah's new public works project.
The good news is that you're adding to a new concept of community organizing that promises to last a long, long time.
There is no ethical obligation to a corporate entity. As a natural person, yes, I am more important.
That is a novel viewpoint, but how does the "corporate entity" escape being an abstraction based upon employees and stockholders (if public)?
The "corporate entity" goes tango uniform, the government bails them out, you (and I) pay for the game in taxes.
Quite a winner, you are.
Providers are also different.
I'll leave my cable provider unnamed, so that I can say that their policies WRT TiVo and HDTV suck nearly bad enough to be mistaken for those of the 110th Congress.
While the CableCard standard is supposed to be workable, we are testing a second gadget in an attempt to make this crap heap work half as well as the competition (to which we very well may switch).
Disaster.
Will switching to IPv6 make the bot nets more transparent to those trying to defend the intertubes?
If that were true, then that might be a good argument to upgrade...
With extensions and stuff that want to check for updates, FireFox can take a while.
But then, I was trained in the...meditative...initialization fields of Emacs, so I am at peace with this.
You get it moving, you open a slew of tabs, and life is good.
Maybe FireFox and Emacs could one day merge...
Ah, but if you drive a SMART, you might be a member of the Semi-conscious Liberation Army.
And we can't have those miscreants dashing about, bashing everyone with comfy pillows, now can we?

Not if the federal government bails out the hammer factory manufacturers in time!

FOSS is fantastic compared to the government.

The difference between dreck and HDTV-dreck is a difference that makes little difference.
Are you raising the question: Should The Government Stop Dumping Money Into A Giant Hole?
Is something that happened 60+ years ago an ominous sign today?
Not especially, unless you're peddling paranoia.
Chicks are OK, really. Log out of WoW and meet some.
