IT doesn't automatically mean less stress. There're stressfull jobs in other areas as well, just as there are relaxing IT jobs.
So just change your job but stay in the IT industry, specially if you like it. There's nothing better than a job in an area you like!
Don't get me wrong, but there ain't just Linux. There's a pile of other operating systems being developed. Think about the BSDs, think about various more academic-research oriented OSs.
Right, you like it because you're used to it, because you used it many times.
But here we're speaking about mainstream. Mainstream's hobby isn't installing an operating system. It's not even playing around with a computer. The computer is a tool, the operating system is installed not more than once.
And with one installation you're certainly not used to an installer like Debian's. Accept it - human being remember and recognize pictures more easily than plain text.
Actually the amount of RAM put in consumer-level machines hasn't increased that much. It is quite common to see a P4 with 2.4Ghz and only 256MB RAM in the stores. And this amount has been quite stable (more or less) over the past few years.
So the 2006 consumer-machines might habe 512MB of RAM. But if 483 are needed just for Windows not much is left..
Firebird is supported by PHP quite well. Just take a look at the InterBase Function Reference for more information.
I guess Perl has a module for it as well...
You don't get it:)
He understands all these points well. But he doesn't think it's a good thing because then everyone - even on Linux, even on embedded devices - will use.NET and whenever Microsoft feels like it (i.e. when Mono/dotGNU really have a market share) they can enfore their patents and - whooops, Mono/dotGnu have vanished.

I heard about a guy really doing this. It's said he knows the insides of Windows better than the MS engineers.
Well, he's an autistic and doesn't really have anything else to do.
Think in bytes. Or words at least. You can't always have anything in between.
Think about the colors.. 16.. 256 - there's no such thing as "120 color support".
Obviously you don't know anything ever written by Mr. de Raadt. You know, he says things you'd count as "dumb" all the time. Strange things, indeed.;-)

Since Linux already supports most of the common hardware out of the box I think "software compatibility" is even more important. Yes, I am speaking about windows-program-clones. People - home users, that is - won't change just because it's "free" or because it doesn't freeze once a week if they have to get used to a more or less completely new environment.
We need an MSIE clone - nothing with tabbed browsing, that's too complicated for the average user - , an Outlook Express clone - of course without all these security features an so on.
While we're on the right way - think about OpenOffice - we're still far away from the target of world domination.

I can't wait until they start making "full" 35mm sensors, that would rock.
Here you go...
Do you pull up a web page to see what time it is? Of course not?you look at a wall clock, or your watch? why not do the same for weather?
:-)
Why not just take a look out of the window?
But Heisenberg never did this because he was a Nazi, he did it because he chose to stay in Germany instead of emigrating. Read a Heisenberg biography.

There is no Opera 7.5 yet. Current release is 7.23
SCO's time to put up or shut up.

Uhm. How many times did we say that already in the past few months?
Thank you, that's exactly what I meant - XML isn't really anything new.
XML is not a data format. XML is an idea. You still need the DTD.

We don't support that... is the solution ;-)
Concerning Java GUIs: Take a look at SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit). You might be interested in it :-)

Maybe Mr Thompson is naive - but you're naive as well.

Great new possibilities for music pirates as well as for RIAA detectives..! ;-)
