Are you just trolling? The Kent state shootings happened in a tense and chaotic moment by the national guard. Tiananman Square was an organized response by the Red Army.
Since I've never really used apt/deb, I'll say that I prefer yum/rpm over it. For servers that install normal stuff once then just patch every once inawhile, I don't see anything wrong with it. It isn't very hard to create my own packages either. I'm sure.deb works just as well, but no commercial linux (i.e. something ISVs support, aka SLES and RHEL mostly) uses it, so there's really no chance of it gaining a foothold where I work. I don't really find myself saying "stupid rpm/yum, it should do *this*".
I don't see a need for the paranoia. The most I've been searched at the border is a look through my bags, and other times I was just waved through. Same for everybody I know and that they know...I haven't even heard a "friend of a friend" story. You're far more likely to have your laptop stolen in Mexico than having it searched at the border.
You've really come across companies who will look at someone over 6 months out of school and ask what their GPA was, in a technical field?
And from what I've seen of the many engineers I know, co-ops are really the key to getting employed after school
Only when the relavent experience wasn't there. The co-op/internship route is really the way to go. I'm surprised that more engineering programs don't require it.
There is a significant difference between Europe and the US in terms of the sheet of paper you hand somebody when seeking employment. From what I've read, Europe takes the CV approach where the focus is more on who you are and what you can do, and the US uses a resume that focuses on who you worked for and what you did. I've been looking for work in Europe without much success lately, so maybe things don't really work how "people" say they do over there.
In your case, your resume and your degree are not going to get you a job, especially if it has been 2 years. If you're more than 6 months out of school, most places consider you an "experienced professional". As far as I can tell, the only way to overcome lack of experience fresh out of school if you don't know anybody is to have a 4.0 GPA.
I'm coming up on 6 years since I graduated with a computer engineering degree, and I'm still working as a systems administrator. The closest thing to CpE I see are crazy perl regex's or the odd Java code when an application on one of my servers "suddenly stops working".
100% of the graduates I know that were employed in engineering when they graduated or shortly thereafter had either experience through co-ops/internships, stellar grades and well known to professors, or they knew somebody who was already working where they were hired on.
In france, people living in bordeaux can board the train and make it to their jobs in paris, 400-500 km away, just in an hour or so.
in america, people suffer 1-1.5 hours of traffic to go to their jobs downtown.
Really? What route is that? Checking the SNCF schedules online, I only see 3 hours as the fastest train between Bordeaux and Paris, and that costs $114 one way. That will also only get you to one station in Paris, from there you will need to take another train to work, which could be another 40 minutes or so.
Check out the DefCon robot shooter competition. Throw something together with an airsoft gun that shoots at anything that moves. Your guests might complain a little, but no more pigeons!
...and make the fastest riders wear weighted backpacks in order to keep the field close and competitive.

I use both zsh and bash. I generally prefer zsh, but not so much to go and install it everywhere, so I'm usually in bash. The command switch expansion that zsh does is pretty slick though (try rpm - in zsh if you're on one of those type systems) and something I really miss when using bash. Aside from that, there isn't anything really killer that makes it a required upgrade for me.
I also remember "helping" to install some IBM software that used korn shell on a SLES machine. The problem was, SLES used pdksh (which is mostly ksh88), and IBM was expecting ksh93, so the installer kept failing and confused the hell out of whoever was initially trying to install it.
I saw an ATM at the AMIBIOS "keyboard error, hit F1 to continue" screen. Unfortunately, none of the ATM keys were F1 and I had to go and find another ATM.
Try adding some pictures to your site, maybe flash, and throw in a dancing poodle if you have time. A PHB is going to see an all text website with a lot of text and code, and his eyes are going to glaze over while his drool begins to obscure the contact info on your resume. Somebody who sees the presentation for what it is will still look for more information and check out the code.

You mean it is against the law to stop payment on a check you discover is made out for more than the correct amount? Sounds stupid enough to be a law in CA, but it doesn't apply to the government. Soverign Immunity. See yesterday's/. story about the USAF vs the DMCA for a refresher.

My servers run on Electricity but the RAID controller has battery backed up RAM so any cached data will persist a power failure and the disks are in writethrough mode.

Novell's 2008 fiscal year net income jumps 8% to -$44.5 million.
That was a new one on me; I hadn't encountered that award before. Would something like:
<REPORT_NAME sed 's/[^a-z0-9,.-]//gi' > REPORT.out
be preferable in this instance?
Personally, I'd go with sed 's/[^a-z0-9,.-]//gi' REPORT_NAME > REPORT.out, but maybe that's just the version of sed I'm using?
What if the Red Hat license was the $350 - $1300 / year of use that it costs now? Would that company still have chosen it?

I have TV. I still set my MythTV to record it, and started watching about an hour in.
Why ? So I could use time-stretch to watch it at 1.5X speed. They take forever to say the simplest thing.
Time stretch is amazing. Get done in less time, without everyone sounding like chipmunks.
I think watching a presidential debate in chipmunk style would make it all the more tolerable. That way the presentation would match the message.

No, the steak is the same. It just didn't come with the house vegetables and mashed potatoes.

eV is a measure of "energy", the E in E=mc^2
1 GeV = 1.783Ã--10^â'27 kg
When you're dealing with things that are really tiny, it's easier to use GeVs than 10^-27 kgs.
