If you use object-oriented Perl (which I'd guess any shop actually trying to hire Perl programmers does)... it's even worse.
I've got people I've worked with for 3-5 years that still don't understand object-oriented design in Perl (well, to be fair, s/ in Perl//), and struggle with the Perl idioms.
On the other hand, Perl is a very... "you learn what you use and know how to find the rest" language, as I can't answer the regexp question off the top of my head, but the others are trivial. (I did just pull PP 3rd edition out of the bookcase, though)
Inkjet printers need kernel drivers? Since when? The Phillips webcam driver had a binary component to implement a decompression algorithm. That algorithm could (and should) have been implemented outside the kernel in the Video for Linux libaries.
The european naming scheme for the time zones is easier to remember - for example, London is on British Summer Time right now, as opposed to GMT. Since the change follows the rule "spring forward, fall back", the difficult is just figuring out which is the 'normal' time zone.
Security software doesn't support RedHat 8 or 9 because RedHat stopped exporting the syscall table for modules (exporting it allowed modifying it, without locks, which was racy and prone to major problems if 2 different modules both tried to modify it.)
That's probably the biggest reason why support is lacking for RedHat 8 and 9. (Of course, the security frameworks that have been provided don't seem to be in use as alternative methods. Not sure what the deal with that is.)
Not sure exactly why you need a pop3 proxy involved, just use Fetchmail to deliver locally, run things through procmail.
Set your local mailserver (sendmail/qmail/postfix/exim/whatever) to use your ISP's SMTP server as a smarthost, and it'll send everything it doesn't recognize as local off to them to handle.
Package management isn't even to avoid hosing the machine.
It's so it's remotely possible to figure out what is ON the machine.
Again, that's mostly related to maintaining multiple machines, but I've gotten to the point where I just build a Debian package for anything custom I do, just so I can replicate it and it's dependencies on other machines in a sane manner.
In the US, the US Olympic Committee has special rules.
It doesn't follow normal trademark rules at all, so it's a poor example.
(There is a card game, "Legend of the Five Rings", based off Japanese culture, that used a logo of five rings in a circle. This was deemed infringing by the USOC and unwinnable by the owners of the game, so the logo has now changed.)
I'm normally fairly confident in my ability to get Debian running on various hardware, but on some new Dell PowerEdge 1750s, I couldn't get the RAID controller to be recognized, because I couldn't find a Debian installer with a new enough kernel image.
But Knoppix has a neat "hdx-install" script (I think that's what it's called) that drops a Debian installation on your autodetected hardware, which I just then had to customize like normal.
It's actually going to be my preferred way to install Debian until the new installer is done, then I'll reevaluate things.

Hey, PWC is an accounting firm.
I think they're *supposed* to only care about money.

When they go out of sync, either they haven't been used in a *long* time, or the server's clock is drifting badly.
The server is designed to track slight drifts in time and track/compensate for the cards.
Even if they are out of sync, the most you have to do is enter two codes instead of just one.

While I tend to like Perl more, I've played with PHP enough to know that mixing the display with the logic is purely a personal choice in PHP.
Look up the "Smarty" templating engine. That should give sufficient power to get your display out of your business logic, for the most part.

So, apparently rampant movie downloading helps theater ticket sales.
Good to know.
Amazingly, it was still up when I posted this.
Fairly slow, but still rather impressive.
Well, there is cost to consider....
The perfect solution is unbreakable, free, requires no maintenance and never fails no matter what.
By a plurality, not a majority.
(Though, 1996 that site shows "50%" which could a majority depending on whether they rounded up or down.)
You don't want to keep track of the patents you might be accused of infringing - if you do, you are liable for triple damages.
Better off to be ignorant than informed.
IANAL, of course, but that's my understanding.

What's the name of the vendor?
Hey, mispellings of litigious need to have high ranking on Google, too!
Umm, Fetchmail + procmail on your local machine?

Well, the *other* company in Toledo is Convergys, right?
Not sure what the place you worked at is called, but I know someone that works at Convergys.
Yup, pretty sure the caste system in India survived largely unharmed.
The odd thing is that I actually considered putting a deliberate reference to a season in, and discarded it.
Then I accidentally put one in.
Old SCO, new SCO, ugh.
Caldera too. Confused yet?
Hell has froze over.

If they don't enforce it, the proper response is, "Then I'd rather not sign it. It won't make any difference to either of us."

Simple - that's everyone with the title "manager".
Knoppix is a pretty good Debian installer, imo.
