The places that I have worked for that were related to the government (USAF and TI, which used to do lots of defense contracting), you had to agree to such searches as part of the employment. I think you will pretty much have to learn to live with it.

NYSE Goes To Linux

I think you guys need to read this again. NYSE does not run on Linux. A messaging system that connects to NYSE and advises external parties of trades runs on Linux. Apparently the core systems are still running... whatever it is they used to run.
Still a big deal for Linux, but you can't really say NYSE runs on Linux. You could say that PART of NYSE runs on Linux.
I was essentially trying to make the same point as you. Somebody made a huge leap from this article to "The breakthrough could make it cheap and easy to cover large areas, like roofs, with efficient, ultra-thin solar cell coatings." It doesn't sound like the application method is cheap or easy. Rooftop solar cells are still a long way off.
They then poured some of the mixture onto a spinning glass sheet coated with an alloy electrode.
I want to see them spin the buildings around to put this coating on them. That would be way cool!
Honestly, is this really practical? I'm not sure this qualifies as a breakthough quite yet. Call me when then create a high effeciency solar cell that can be poured out of a bucket onto the roof on a jobsite.
Actually, neither one of these was ever considered. Mac OS X was, is, and always will be based on the Mach microkernel, which was what NextStep was based on. Mac OS X is BSD-flavored, though.
More PPC boxes sold = more PPCs (processors) sold = lower price on PPCs = lower costs for Apple = lower price on Apple computers. Apple would probably love to see more people buy PPC systems. After all, that was the original intent of the AIM (Apple, IBM, Motorola) alliance and the CHRP spec. WebGuyCS

... It's unbecoming. Just one "spectular" would have been enough.
who insisted on calling them "webmeisters". They were annoyed to death.
