I would like to see Microsoft Open Source IE6 and port it to Linux and then compare "what works" with Mozilla.

What features do you predict that will be implenented in NIC's for the near and long term future and is there any functionality that you'd like to see specifically implemented.

I've noticed that Google translate seems to work less and less lately, anyone got a technical reason why?
If the goal of Linux is to run on lots of hardware, including the not so old 500mhz boxes, then Redhat has lost the spirit of Linux, which makes me wonder what the longer term implications of this are. The distribution should follow the spirit of the kernel.
It also makes me wonder when Linus will put his foot down, I would be very surprised if he does'nt as these distributions simply "don't understand" the whole point of Linux.
Or should Linus setup a Linux distribution, that would make Redhat conform too.
"LENGTHY PROCESS. Next, the FIPS engineers will study the basic code of the cryptographic module looking for underlying security flaws that could leave the module open to being compromised."
ok, I want to know whose going to test our company's product, what skillset they have, I want to evaluate the evaluators, how do we know their really good? What process do they follow, or do they load up something.c into emacs and prance around?
"Finally, the FIPS engineers put the product through its paces in a testing lab to make sure all the cryptographic elements perform as promised. "
What tests and process do they do? Is this always the same? How do they learn from their mistakes? Is the process upgraded and reviewed regularly.

I dont get it, are you loyal MAC users out there just going to accept this rubbish without one hell of a fight? This seems a bad decision by them, in fact it stinks of Microsoft's typical arrogrance, i'm surprised Apple have done this.
This is a very interesting thread, several more points that i'd like to make.
Firstly, the URL provided above does not work.
Resumes are more about marketing than your actual ability, the sad truth. It's not what you did, but how you marketed it. Let's face it, most tech people have no clue over marketing including myself and this is why they fail interviews.
Lastly, it'd be interesting to have a Slashdot interview with a "top company" HR director. The educational value would be very rewarding.
I should firstly state that I am in no way racist, however a lot of Asian recruiters are extremely unfair in their job requirements. We could start a competition for the most unfair job requirements because it'd cause a few people to wake up.
There is also a huge age bias for Eastern positions, 99% of them would be illegal in the West.
Can they really do this? What grounds is there for an objection? The end user operating system should not be their determination when it's used in dorms, even if used in their network.
What I really dislike is that they've dictated terms, this is something that has been coming for a long time, now await this madness or political correctness to grow.
I've always thought that war only works for country's with a bad economy, I have doubts whether this approach can bolster a company's failing budget. This is because their going about it the wrong way, it strikes me of shooting oneself in the foot.
I think phone tapping en masse is wrong, and should only be used in the most severe of circumstances. Phone tapping people as hoc, or because their the wrong shade of blue or *may* be doing something that's unethical or perhaps illegal sets a very bad precedent.
So we trust the government through the election process, they should trust us, if trust is taken away from our society, then what's left?
From reading some of the comments, i'm quite surprised and shocked at the insensitivity and harshness of some people's posts. Whats with the "it's his fault, he deserved it attitude?". Is'nt the Internet all of our network and not his alone? Surely this makes it all of our problem and not just one persons. What happened to Internet camaraderie? Or has it become one for all and all for one on the high seas of the Internet, may the best Sysadmin win. I thought those days were long gone.
Lets not get into a situation whereby only an elite class of people can stop the abuse of the Internet by knowing a special language called law.
It used to be that the technologists were the elite class of the online world, interestingly due to our ever increasing corporate world, the lawyers are one of the few with enough knowledge to have a chance of stopping this misuse of our treasured network.
I think the next few years will make country legal juristiction crystal clear for crimes committed on the Internet, but will take longer for laws to be passed and acted upon. I'd like to see agreed global unified laws for Internet and computer abuse. It's about time we took responsibility for this and tackled it now, not only for now but also proactively for the future as things will progressively get worse unless we take a stand today.
Here's a question for lawyers.
Could the United Nations pass a resolution to stop spam?
Is this a very nieve and good samaritan concerned Internet users united thing or a business strategy in order to obtain security work and publicity.
If it's the first, then they should take legal advice.
If it's the second then is this what the Internet has come to? [I'm talking about publicity of themselves and assuming that not all of those networks will be Internet connected].

Is there any evidence for both trojans being related by the same person/group?
This form of extreme capitalism makes me sick! Why not share some of their money with developing countries, instead of increasing their income.
Next they'll charge for Internet Explorer.

What career advice would you give to people in IT in the 21st century.
It's original, let's apply Freud to the Internet and what do you get?

When anybody starts a report with "sex", you know their desperate for something. In this case to make a name for themselves.

What about Nokia's high prices for their mobiles, you could call them thieves too.
Kinda interesting to read about others careers, how about a /. article on people's careers, good to get focus from others.
This is interesting, because I moved to Linux because OpenBSD and NVidia GeForce 2 Go did'nt go together.
So, does this mean the driver will work under OpenBSD too?
