How can they promote this as a feature? Telnet (and now ssh of course) works just fine for finishing work at home.

Your comment should be modded up, BUT, I would hardly call the GNU Project a step ladder. It's more like the ladder, hammer, saw, wrenches,... and all of the tools that allow you to do useful stuff.
I read this book a while ago. I remember that Abagnale was working as a security consultant to the banking industry. This was after he got out of prison. I wonder if he is still working? It's nice to learn from the best.
I said "sort of" Linux-focused. As in "kind of" And not to the exclusion of News for Nerds and Stuff that Matters. And when I see CT write things like "Our little kernel", sure I think it's intentional. Anyway, I read the other posts. I don't think it's as bad as swordgeek makes it out to be.

First, I agree with you. But at the same time I think everyone knows that/. is sort of "Linux-focused." And I don't think that's bad. There are other sites for Unix in gerneral.
Computers at the polling stations would provide a much more accurate vote tally, but I think the problem would be where to find qualified people who could operate the system. It would seem simple for/.'ers, but think about the poll workers where you voted!

Ralph Nader is running on the Green Party ticket. I think that free (as in speech) software corresponds closely with the Green Party's ideals. I attended a Ralph Nader speech this year, he is very concerned about the power that large corporations weild. And that Bill Gate's net worth is equal to the lowest 120 million Americans.
I know this an age-old question, but is Java really fast enough for distributed applications? Or is that it's necessary to write multi-threaded applications in Java, or otherwise they will be too slow?
It seems that parallel programming is dominated by C and Fortran, not even C++.
I use PostgreSQL a lot. I've never tried MySQL. I notice that Postgres is slow when I extract data from very large tables (say > 750,000 rows.) Now, I've found that it's much faster to break the tables down into multiple smaller tables and then loop through each one and aggregate the results. This is even with the use of indexes.
I like my job too, even though I could probably be paid more at some other place. I keep thinking about the "total package." I have tons of freedom and I can work on interesting problems. I also go home at night and I have time to do things with my wife. To me that is worth more than (say $15k or $20k increase in salary.)
I don't have any facts as far as (application) speed, but have you ever tried to set up printing on Solaris? I mean, things that should be simple are way too difficult. That's why my Ultra 5 makes a nice X-window to the Dell/Linux server.

"IBM is already contributing some of its AIX UNIX technologies, including its journaling file system,to the open source process."
I am missing something? I thought SGI was contributing XFS.
