Unix was proclaimed dead in 1990 by Byte Magazine. Windows is broken, Apple is rotten, Solaris has set, IBM AIX with age, HP-UX was fed to ducks, Excel has left Word that it is out of the Office, the Oracle is learning Delphi, but still there's quite a byte of C code running for president every day.
Red Hat gives good support, but it takes time. The optimum answer is to have your own support staff and to be able to escalate serious problems to your vendor, but that's not cheap.
I once travelled from Amsterdam to Poitiers. Until Brussels the TGV ran over normal rails at some 140 km/h, then quickly reached Paris Nord. Then it took an hour to get to the south of the city by taxicab, where another TGV left to the destination.
Yes, in densely populated West-Europe trains offer an advantage and air travel is popular for trans-oceanic destinations.
It is of course a worrying development if a religious group is able to hold a conference at a prestigious university to give its ideas a scientific guise.
If this cannot be prevented, try holding a scientific conference on the topic of creationis, thus in contrast to what gstoddart holds, analyse the subject through scienfic discourse.
Windows Ten has the same hardware requirements als Windows Vista. Makes you wonder what Microsoft has changed, apart from a couple of new device drivers.
If teenagers voluntarily send each other nude or erotic pictures of each other, who is the victim? How much physical and psychical damage has (s)he suffered?
If you have a Ph.D., you hopefully choice your research with care. If it is a theoretical topic, you should seek employment in academia or military. If it has practical applications, you should apply with a company that needs the fruits of your research or start your own company. You are convincing them to invest in your area of research: quite different from a MS in CS who looks for a menial job as a software engineer.
It is really a commercial question of where a distribution should focus its development efforts and where it can get revenues. Windows NT is a kernel too, but the desktop and server packages command quite different prices and embedded Operating Systems usually don't command a fee per device sold, just a flat fee for the manufacturer.

It follows that Open Source software does not and cannot exist, except as an innocent hobby, or else the theories of economics are erring.
The Object-Oriented Paradigm is not that hard, but C++ is very complex and C contains just the functionality you need.

but the salary tends to be royal.

This stuff has great potential. Big corporations are rushing to corner the market. Scientists are trying to make it more effective....
My laptop boots almost as fast with Systemd compared to System V, and it shuts down much faster.

I don't have a Gmail account, but Google blocks all e-mail from my server to its accounts, and no, my server never did send a spam message.
Who cares about EXT(2/3/4) when you have ReiserFS?
America has a cybercrime gap with the ex-commie-courntries and unless it can catch up quick, the economy will suffer.
APL may be forgotten before too long, along with SNOBOL, MUMPS, ALGOL 58, and a host of other impopular languages.
You sure should do that.... if your contract states that the manufacturer guarantees that their product contains no bugs:-(
More likely your contract states that the customer is responsible for testing the software before accepting and paying for it.
Wait for the followers of Cthulhu to become smart enough to catch and eat us.
The Win32 API has had functions like GetVersionEx() for ages, which will tell the difference between MS Windows (like '95 and ME) and WIndows NT.

Ten will have a start button. How will it be different from Vista or XP?

The article says the city of Turin is planning to convert their ageing PC fleet to Linux. Hardware problems will be the inevitable result.
The Linux implementation lacks support for the Archive, Hidden, ReadOnly, and System file attributes; those are needed for MS-DOS support:-]

Practical programming skills have limited value and obsolesce quickly.
