In some areas of Alaska (particularly small towns) they're paying for the education of doctors and then requiring them to come work in their town for a couple of years.
I've been working with Tiger quite a bit over the last few months (even contributing some changes) and I'm pretty impressed with what it can do.
Also handy is the fact that it runs on most of the proprietary *NIX's.
Looks at how much java is out there... Is it efficient? Heck no! But it is used all over the place because machines have gotten fast enough so that efficiency is not all that important - especially in small, simple apps.
The valuable things are a programmer's time, and time between release cycles.
I would recommend "The HP Way" by Dave Packard. One of the fundamental ideas that Bill and Dave built on is that the majority of your employees want to do a good job.
If you start from that tenet - expecting the best from your employees and expecting them to want to do a good job - you'll be way ahead of the pack.
Add to that a habit of telling them "Thank You" as often as you can.
Maybe I'm missing something...
I see the obligatory Microsoft bashing. I see some mildly funny jokes. I see lots of discussion about why IBM is doing this. And I see a huge discussion of not wanting to register for the NY Times site...
How come I can't find any discussion of what these patents are and whether they be at all useful to the furthering of OS Software?
There is still a fairly solid market for Itaniums. HP will move HPUX and MPE customers (and Tru64 too?) gradually to the platform. Having Intel made processors (as opposed to PA-RISC and Alpha) means that servers can be cheaper and HP can get out of the Microprocessor development business.
It may not be everything that HP and Intel hoped for, but it will still give some fairly solid life to the processor.
We should stop making a big fuss over it when our favorite basketball team wins a big game too. It's just so sad to make such a big fuss over it and put it in the newspaper and stuff.
The foundation of intelligent design is that there exists a God who is both personal and creative. So humans and animals were created by him, and the physical laws are the *tools* he used to create them. Science then becomes the study of how God does things...
I can believe in intelligent design and still believe in the process of evolution. I don't think that God just created the process, set it in motion and then left. He is actively involved in it, watching it play out... just like if you were running a piece of software you'd written.
The only difference is that God's code doesn't have any bugs, so it doesn't have to be revised. There's no "gravity 0.9 pre-release".

For what its worth, I have a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and am, in fact, an idiot.
So its not impossible...
If people were happy with thin clients way more of them would be using Linux already. I talk to lots of people who are tempted by the stability and lack of fuss in maintaining Linux but don't convert because they want to play games. We're a long way from a good game being playable on a thin client.
Its not true that press generates stock price. HP got tons of press during the Compaq merger and it drove the price down. Like he said - investors are not stupid.

There's a story about it here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098878/
