When we graduated my wife received a job offer to work as a patent examiner. Despite the fact that she has a degree in computer science I do not believe it would prevent absurd and obvious invention patents from going through the system. As best as I can tell the examiners are limited to prior patent applications and official publications in searching for prior art. Little room seems to be reserved for common sense. Quite thankfully she did not accept the job offer because I didn't want to move to D.C. and the pay wasn't that great for someone with that degree.
I started buying more music when I was exposed to it through Napster and when they decided to shut it down I stopped buying music off the shelf almost entirely. Go to concerts, buy direct from artists, but stop funding the industry's terror campaign.
I've looked into such things recently as well. Some small companies out there make some rather unique solutions, but the price range of most is $300-$400 for the box. Although it sometimes seems dead, try http://www.linux4.tv/, a $300 product is promised in the May time frame.
The best source of technical information for automake/autoconf is going to be in the.info files. If you don't have these installed by default when you install the utilities then complain to your vendor. Anyway, you can always grab the latest released versions from their GNU home via ftp on prep.ai.mit.edu. You can convert the.texi files to.dvi and from.dvi to.ps for printing if you prefer to print them out and bind them into a book.
Doubt this will get read, but there are things like a Cisco redirector which will redirect a single ip to multiple private server machines. Load balancing solutions exist which can tie into an OS's system load to more intelligently balance but I'm not sure if anything supports the Linux kernel.
I think the most long term solution at this point is to start thinking server farm as opposed to a single server and a 'cache' server.
*shrug*
The problem with httpd crashing is nifty. You'll have to get a stacktrace or other information in order to fix it though unless it gets fixed through blind luck.
I find that things which are sent via regular ground delivery, when they are big like computers, are heavily handled. Things sent via next day or 2nd day air are almost always in perfect condition. This costs too much with 60lb monitors of course. Lesson of the day for those that don't know, inspect packages delivered to you before signing for them. Most geeks love to get a deal and they don't take crap from delivery companies. Katz, isn't there a LUG (Linux User Group) somewhere near you? You really need the help.
ZDNET has been HOT on GNU/Linux and Open Source all month long. I submitted a link to a rather long article which was done on January 11th and it appears just in searching for 'Linux' on their homepage that they've been doing this all month long. See these articles:
After a brief search through Dejanews... I found a link to Linus's 2.0 kernel release post. You can find it at http://x1.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=159433479&CONT EXT=916865358.1854734395&hitnum=3 assuming Slashdot doesn't munge the URL. Btw, I couldn't put that URL in an HREF in this comment submit box. My personal opinion is that we should leave marketing pitches to the corporations who care and press releases are nothing but marketing.

Both Japhar and GNU Classpath are active projects. Japhar could use more really good active developers, but the same is probably true for Classpath.
At least I'm not the only one who saw Bruce's previous post stating the same thing. Wake up Slashdot...
I believe support for Java's AWT is missing, but most of the rest is there.
See Why GNU/Linux and not just Linux... as gnu.org explains it.

Here is a story from PC Week.
Go see www.linux.com again. It has been updated. I think it's going to look great.
