If you've got the time, use some of your spare time (or at work) contributing to free software projects of your will. You will find lots of projects on SourceForge, pick one of your favourite language and start developing. When written properly, a thing like that can count as a programming job on your resume. It also counts as a major plus for companies that are into free software.
YMMV, especially if you're a bad coder!
I love its simplicity; it's designed so you can edit the config files yourself, none of the GUI tools so many distros like now with the actual config files hidden all over the place.
Well, I use Debian at servers, Arch Linux at my private desktop, Kubuntu at my laptop and Ubuntu at work. Please tell me I can't manually edit my config files and that the "GUI tools [...] with the actual config files hidden all over the place"...
I would like to suggest the Norwegian Debian based Skolelinux (School Linux).
Central user catalogue: One username and one password for several machines and services.
Central storage: Regardless of which machine you use in a Skolelinux network, you have access to your files and meet an interface with your settings - an interface you are familiar with.
Thin client solution: The applications are run on a thin client server, which is a powerful machine. The image from those applications is drawn on a "thin client", which usually is an old and cheap machine. This enables you to use old hardware. Moreover, it eases administration, as you have one server to maintain.
Printers may be shared and made available in the network.
A proxy server caches files downloaded from the Internet, resulting in a faster surfing experience.
283598 - [Mac] New.dmg artwork with diagrammatic instructions.
New web developer features
309242 - E4X should be on by default, while preserving the comment hiding hack. (Specify e4x=1 or JavaScript 1.6 if you want to include XML comment literals.)
Fixes for several software-update bugs, including several that prevented updates from working.
Web page rendering and interaction
300453 - 'Disable common annoyances' prevents focusing of designmode iframes. (Disallowing scripts from raising and lowering windows also prevents them from focusing frames. Also, sites like Gmail that focus iframes also focus the window even though they're not trying to.)
295074 - POST responses remain in the memory cache when using XMLHttpRequest.
310957 - Switch Win32 SVG renderer from GDI+ to cairo. (This improves cross-platform consistency of SVG rendering and eliminates the requirement for Windows 98 users to download gdiplus.dll before they can see SVG content.)
Mac-specific bugs
171680 - [Mac] Modifier keys have no effect on mouse wheel.
309730 - [Mac] Tweak wheel+modifiers preferences on OS X.
255415 - [Mac] Scroll wheel doesn't work after selecting bookmark from toolbar until you move mouse.
I like the idea of a light weight browser, but I thing that Mozilla should think about making tabbed browsing default. I see a lot of Opera users not changing to Firefox because of all the extensions needed.
Tabbed browsing is the future in browsing, and Mozilla should think about that.

Then why is the article titled 2007 Turing Award Winners Announced?
I think that rule is utterly crap. Ubuntu is for me easier to use than any MS OS, which makes it 3:3!
It doesn't matter as long as there are thousands of people who buy pirated software. The buyers will always be the losers.

Because Microsoft gave them a lot of money. Maybe that's what the FLOSS community needs. A lot of money...

Yes, but does he run on Linux? Oh, wait...
Can anyone confirm that it's still impossible to resize the size of the font defined in pixel in CSS?
It wasn't even interesting the first to times!
Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word free that I wasn't previously aware of.

Just wanted to add a link to this movie clip.

This seems to a good reason to do some obscure MD5-security hacks like nested MD5 hashing or reversing string before hashing it...
What ever happened to the Eurovision winner Fly on the wings of love from our Danish brothers?

It seems like the IE7 developer team didn't even manage to make a blog validate to HTML 4.0. How can this be possible?
