Recommend the PHP Cookbook from O'Reilly as a good text. It has more hands-on recipes than theory, which is what you'll want when learning PHP. Left all of the slides up in pdf format, so have at it!
Note to moderators: I really try to keep things positive, but these guys should know better. Not a troll here, just felt this needed to be said.
I always suspected this was the case, but now I have hard evidence. Nature is pimped out to private interests. It used to be a voice of the scientific community.
Spam isn't science, people. It might be network warfare, but that makes it more about power than it is about knowledge. So now Nature is just another magazine.
Note that the only give one footnote, and it is a self-serving link to a preprint. "Boykin, P. O. & Roychowdhury, V. Personal email networks: an effective anti-spam tool. Preprint, http://www.arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0402143, (2004)."
There are real scientific journals out there. With tricks like this, Nature apparently isn't among them.
Allow me to outdo your skepticism. In ten years, if I spent that time pursuing the buildout of a 100+ employee firm, I'd be MORE of an asshole than our current generation of bosses. Why? I've learned their tricks at their hands, and have a few of my own. But I'm not out to outcompete or destroy my competition. They can win as far as I care. I know when to say when. I eat well. I live well. My bills are paid. And now I get to work because it will make the world a better place for my children. A 100 person non-profit organization would be cool. I would need to make enough money first that the tax breaks would justify it though.:) It seems to me that the winners are the ones who walk away from "the system" as you call it. My reward at the end of the day isn't a life insurance policy or a retirement account or a health plan, but that I have enough time to read the books that matter.
I think I need to make this my sig: " The fundamental unit of trust is another person, not another company. "
... is that self employment is the safest way to build a career. Why? The fundamental unit of trust is another person, not another company. As self-employed, I've insulated myself from most, if not all, of the stupid crap that companies do. While I have friends who have been laid off and rehired several times, I'm now for the first time confident in my financial future because I have a list of clients who all really need my services. They now trust me to get the work done. I trust them to pay on time. And that (to me) is worth more than a fat 401k because in ten years my work will be inflation-adjusted and grows with my clients (all of whom have been selected in part because they are likely to grow and already have a good pattern of it.)
And when I get ready to hire? The number one thing I'll be looking for on those resumes is a history of self-reliance and individual responsibility. There are a lot of professional committee-manipulators out there who like their comfortable BigCorp positions, and good for them. I'm confident that in twenty years, when we both look back and to see where we stand, my contributions to the world will be both worthwhile and significant.
Really, it all boils down to trust. That's what underlies the economic viability of open source: you're dealing with people and standardized network protocols and not organizational entities or proprietary lockin.

Microsoft was giving tons of them away on their Windows 2003 Server promotional tour and as has been note elsewhere this is really just an OpenBSD distro with a few more LDAP-ish tools thrown in.
I think the message from Microsoft with all of this seems to be that Unix stuff is worthless and just a hassle to tie together with their products. Reality: Microsoft products are a huge liability. Ask anyone who has had their files randomly mailed due one of the thousands of email viruses. The security breaches that Microsoft products bring to the table far more than offset any of their claimed savings in techie hours. Typical BigCo at this points wants to be safeguarding what productivity they have, not tossing it away by opening up more holes than can be patched twice monthly over broadband. Bleh. Even if they gave away MicrosoftServer 2003, I still wouldn't bite. Put the Exchange stack on Linux, and then we'll talk.
Note that the numbers are "per domain" So 2003 is better proclaimed the Year of NameVirtualHost. Hopefully, this means that there really are more httpd's out there, but the correlation was not made in that necraft study. Hopefully someone will do (perhaps already has done?) a study to establish IP# to domain name ratios. My guess is that there is a lot more virtual hosting being done now then there was in, say 1999, when having a corporate web site was more directly related to purchasing dedicated web server equipment. I'll bet that the Microsoft push into public key infrastructure will be used to leverage growth for IIS but at these rates, it may well be hard to catch up with Apache.
But perhaps the real story for 2003, as far as growth technologies go, is likely PHP. The ratio of deployments and actual usage to press coverage of the technology is pretty impressive too.:)
I wanted to clarify one point from this slashdot posting: GIMP 2.0pre1 has plugin or two that can handle some CMYK functionality, but this is not the release that uses gegl, or the generic enhanced graphics library.

Well, at least Apple's support of XDarwin is still around. I doubt Apple will ever get support the freedesktop.org efforts because that would mean supporting alpha-channels for non-Mac platforms.
U.S. Commander: Tip Led to Saddam Capture By ALEKSANDAR VASOVIC, Associated Press Writer
TIKRIT, Iraq - Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was captured based on information from a member of a family "close to him," Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno said Sunday.
Special Coverage
Odierno, the commander of the 4th Infantry Division that captured Saddam, said over the last 10 days soldiers have questioned "five to 10 members" of families "close to Saddam."
"Finally we got the ultimate information from one of these individuals," he said.
One of the news reports (google news has about 700 of them this morning) indicated that the "cordon and search" efforts began from a tip from an Iraqi. I wonder if that dude will get $25M or even a fraction of it? On a separate note, it is great to see pretty much all elements of the political spectrum in agreement on the point that having Saddam Hussein in custody is a good thing and will help to bring closure to the whole Iraq debacle. Woohooo! Gaudete!
They are around $75 to $150 instead of cabinets which tend to be $250 - $750. As long as you have a place where you can bolt it down to the floor that's well air conditioned, you should be good to go. It's the same functionality, (holds 19" rackmount gear goodness) just not enclosed.
