My mom works for the Department of Corrections in WA and I just quickly and easily found out the following:
Institution with code,
Job title,
Salary range,
Salary step code, and
Monthly salary.
The database appears very complete, but I can't think of much more use that it would have than checking out what coworkers make per month. Those that are in the database, however, supposedly had notice that the information was public (my mom did).
You're right about the technologies in his house..

except that his house is in Bellevue (or Medina to be more specific). I was there a few years ago when it was under construction (my teacher must have had connections!) and it was pretty impressive at the time.
I'm a new Linux user and I have to say that SuSE has been the easiest and best for me. I tried Red Hat, Mandrake, Debian, and Knoppix before SuSE and was never satisfied. SuSE's YaST is really nice for installing packages and helps take care of dependencies. I highly recommend it for newbies and cannot say too much about how easy and powerful the YaST tool is for setting everything up.
Last time I looked at Walmart's site at the Lindows PCs I noticed they had inexpensive computers preloaded with SuSE 8.2. I don't know if the sales are competitive with Lindows, but its good to hear that another Linux desktop option is out there.
If you want something Safari-like for Windows try out Mozilla Firebird. Sure its a beta release, but its running solid on this Windows box and it "feels" a lot like Safari does on my iBook. The tabs are great, popup blocker works well, and its fast. The Options menu is very simple and mac-like as well. Good luck!

I think he forgot to mention an important part about the benchmarks: they are not all that useful for a real life comparison with real applications.
