I'm older than you youngin' and my first computer was a 333 MHz emachine running Windows-something. I forget what exactly. I started programming in HTML and PHP, but then moved on to C++ and Python.
I envy people who had early programming experience. I sometimes think if I learned how to program earlier I'd be a better programmer.
We all know that Jon Stewart is all about bringing back integrity to the news. Just look at The Daily Show, now that's a show based on good, sound, family values!
I don't think it really matters what operating system they use. It all depends on how well they can set it up.
A Linux box not set up incorrectly can be just as much of a security problem then a Windows box... well... maybe not entirely. But they would be close.
Honestly it isn't surprising that our government is behind on security, especially when it comes to computers. Technology moves really fast and I imageint the US would have to spend billions just to keep up.
It isn't entirely practical. All they can really do is hope for the best. Those that are a threat to security will always be one step ahead.
"It will in fact hit tomorrow. You may now panic and cause market crashes. But please, I insist you buy Lockheed Martin stock."
Seriously, on the Wikipedia page for the Torino scale it said most of the asteroids that hit 4 will drop to 0 when new observations are made. It is no surprise that this has in fact happened.

Yes, CNN has the information. You can also take the quiz if you want to.
