Obviosly you've never lived in Idaho. There is no such a thing as a "liberal elite" in Boise Idaho. That's funny.
What you do find in Idaho is a general mistrust of the Federal Government and Attorney Generals. Remember Ruby Ridge.
It was a weak case from the start. Ashcroft was doing a witch hunt. With the case they were presenting anyone who sets up up a website with a forum with a single posting inciting violence could get terrorism charges. And the postings referenced in the indictment that Ashcroft quoted read like book reports. For example "The World's Bravest People" about the Chechen mujahideen warriors, "The True Meaning of Shaheed" about how matrydom is an ultimate honor, "The Objectives and Aims of Jihad", and "The Religious and Moral Doctrine of Jihad".
It was if someone posted a document on the honor and bravery of Samurais and the webmaster being thown in jail.
As a former UI student who worked in the same lab as Sami, I am glad to see that our court systems do work and that he can return to his family. Let's hope that all accused get a day in court instead of indefinite prison terms and assassinations.
One item I would add to that list is documentation. You write code for the computers and write documentation for the humans. Managers and higher-ups can be so far removed from the code that they need clear, well formed and diagrammed documentation.
Have a portfolio of clean code and good documentation for your future interviews.
You bring up good points.
From the perspective of hardware/software developing companies, you probably have access to 95% of the non-server market if you just develop for windows. What is the incentive for spending time/money developing for the 2% of the market that uses linux. [note: I'm pulling those percentages from thin air.]
The linux community has done a decent job encouraging card companies to open up their specs so that the linux community can develop the drivers on their own. That is about all the linux community can do until linux has a larger portion of the market share.
I listen to "Democracy Now" off the web. They frequently reference the Guardian and Aljazeera.

Watch out for the sappy-amateur-protest-folk- songs.
I wasn't the one using it but I know it compiled into a working version of NT. There could have been some features stipped out but the meat and potatoes were there. It was in collaboration with WSU... where Paul Allen went to school. Maybe our lab had an exception. Big chunks of it were in assembly so it was a bit convoluted.
When I worked at a research lab at the University of Idaho we had the entire code for Windows NT 4. There were some restrictions: It couldn't be on a networked computer and (if I remember correctly) only one person was allowed to view or modify it.

Backwards compatibility is why I bought PS/2 over the other consoles. I still play my PS/1 games.

I wouldn't mind the price of online songs going down but lets hope that the artist's cut goes up. http://www.downhillbattle.org/itunes/

Yes, they are from the University of Idaho. I'm surprised no one has heard of the hungry programmers. They developed lesstif

Show BeOS on a multi-processor machine. Pull some threads onto different processors!
