I think perhaps of all the answers I've read so far, yours is the most disturbing. Life is precious. This is fundamental. Pigeons, pigs, people, dolphins, whatever.
Life is precious, and we are all one. Repeat that a couple of times, please.
Surely this has been known about for over a half century. One of Robert Heinlein's earliest novels, Sixth Column/The day after tomorrow contains examples of using subliminal music to frighten the occupying forces.
The Aussie government has spent a lot of time and money and smart people on exactly this problem, and has developed a strategy to address it. More information is at the Victorian Electronic Records Strategy Home Page, www.prov.vic.gov.au/vers/
Me too... I heard about Linux Slackware when I was an undergrad in CS, 1993. In 1994, when I finally upgraded my PC (to a 486 33Mhz!) I learnt about the joys of Linux via slackware.
Haven't looked back since.
(Well, I have really, but I just wanted a cool sounding end line:).
Clearly Apple, and a lot of users want their user interface to be usable and consistent. Fair enough too.
And to a lot of graphic artists, computers are tools. They're often from a fine art background and like being there.
Then there's people like me, who'd like to be artists but so far my technical skill exceeds my ability to splash out with gouache. For me, I love to play with the UI and change the colours and shapes according to my whims and moods. I love photoshopping and developing custom GUI classes in my apps. For me the GUI is an expression of my art, and myself. As long as there's a way to do that (and it sounds that this is certainly still possible in 10.2), I'd be happy.
This comment is patronising and only reflects a subset of employers. To be honest, I can't believe this was moderated as 4/insightful. For the 5 years that I've been working in IT in several places here in Australia, I've always been well treated and respected. Sure, I know there's some companies out there where the management doesn't respect their employees, but there's a lot where they do. A lot of companies are starting to embrace the benefits of real teams, instead of paying lip service to it. I've always been friends, proper friends with camping and drinking and all the rest of it, with my managers, and those managers ARE the company. And so am I. I hope the people out there reading this can know that working life can be enjoyable just like the rest of your life.

Yep, this seems like is a good strategem to call their bluff on why Microsoft are really putting digital signing on their software.
:)
I like they way the article said it was a genuine attempt to sway Microsoft, though.

If you value security, follow this guy's advice.
If you value excitement, challenges, and change, and believe that you will always be taken care of, follow your passion.
Maybe they spiked the toilet?

The former reply sums it up for me too.

The Programming Pearls books by Jon Bentley are an excellent practical approach to algorithms, and are essentially timeless because of it.
