    He's 26. He has ~3 years professional experience. What exactly qualifies as years of experience in your eyes, because from where I'm sitting he's a green horn. Not that I agree with the notion that you have to code in your offtime to be worth a crap.

    Enterprise server != mainframe though. Are you seriously trying to compare IBM's mainframes to say Dell's offerings? Mainframes are indeed a subset of enterprise servers, but let's compare apples to apples.

    Bon Echo is indeed a port of Firefox 2. Webkit was ported (again) over the summer, and work is underway to construct a new browser around it.

    It's not a problem it's a feature and it's by design. Do you really want to compare the amount of old hardware that works with Linux compared to other popular desktop operating sytems? If hardware vendors were truly interested in selling hardware for Linux, they would get their drivers into mainline and then maintain them.

    The anti-trust issue is that MS has already been found guilty of using it's OS monopoly to shut out competing browsers by strong arming OEMs.

    I thought I was the only one. I made a similar decision, and while the money isn't good I'm infinitely more happy. Inter-office politics and all of the backbiting that seems to come with them simply don't exist on a construction site. You try some of the BS that routinely goes on in office jobs and chances are you're going to get belted in the mouth.

    I can't speak for all trades, but the only construction trades that are viable are electrician and plumber. Every other construction trade is dominated by illegals willing to work 6-7 days a week for 12 hours a day for peanuts. People don't place much value on correct. They would rather have fast and cheap. I'm sure some of these crews can do correct work, but I've yet to see it and I've been around the business for a while now.

    Please learn the correct usage of ad hominem before you ever type it again on the internet. Here's one form of ad hominem to get you started.

    To their investors that is. People like to vilify oil companies as monsters, but they are in fact energy companies. If those alternative energy sources were even remotely feasible you can be sure they would be all over them. I've got a better alternative energy source. Lets strap all of the environmental whack jobs to bicycles and have them the pedal generators to a cleaner tomorrow.

    I'd say "what we all know is wrong with open source software" is what is actually right about it. I'm sorry that the fact that it runs on multiple platforms and is available under multiple licenses inconveniences you. Perhaps you should check out http://www.microsoft.com. Most of their stuff runs on exactly one platform and is available under one license, so you won't have to worry about making those pesky decisions.
