Regarding FEA software, Ansys runs in a lot of different OS'es and platforms. I've seen it run in UNIX, Linux and Windows. The Windows port is nice but stalls when you have large models due to memory access limitations. We did some tests using the same hardware (IBM WorkStation, Dual Xeon, 3GB ram) for both Linux(RedHat 8.0) and Windows(2000) and Linux performed better in most of the different analyses we did.
I think that Katz's point it to show the increasing bias in what is considered newsworthy by news agencies. He is not saying something new but it seems that a lot of people are not aware of this fact. Also sometimes news pop up at very "convenient" times to distract everybody's attention from the "important" ones. Remember the movie "Wag the Dog" with De Niro and Hoffman? It is quite good and makes you wonder...
Cheers,

Just my 2 cents.
