I don't know how much debugging type stuff you want to do, but you might enjoy using a web-based IDE like IDE One. You can use any language you want, and if I were you, I'd type my code in a text editor that allows for syntax highlighting, like Notepad++, which can be run without an install.
A university Computer Science degree should be an addendum to basic IT skills, not a replacement for them.
Nope. A computer science education should be a computer science education. If you don't want fresh college grads, don't hire them.
You don't hire physicists and complain they can't do "IP networking" -- you shouldn't hire computer scientists to do non-science. You especially shouldn't then turn around and tell everyone who is a computer scientist how they should teach their classes.
Actually, in a world where software can be a liability, testing isn't the answer -- the answer is formal methods. It's still under active research (as it's not immediately applicable to certain types of programs) but when used correctly, formality not only reduces errors, but reduces costs as well.
OpenOffice is good, but it's not a full replacement for modern versions of Office. If all you're doing is authoring memos and papers (by yourself) it will suffice, though.
What's with the random dig at Nebraska, though? The state has plenty of social conservatives and plenty of liberals (see: Omaha) -- there's no reason to slam a pretty respectable university over your stereotype.
I don't think it's Sony astroturfing. I think it's just gamers who see action like GeoHotz's as a gateway to piracy -- if they spend a good deal of their time in online games (which can be totally ruined by cheaters), I think their comments are understandable (though I still don't agree with them).
The difference between a computer and a ps3 is that the ps3 sells for less than it costs to make. Sony makes this money back through selling games -- claiming that there is no difference between a game console and a computer since they have equivalent parts is disingenuous. You can't have it both ways -- you either get great hardware for cheap with restrictions on it, or great hardware for a more reasonable cost and the freedom to do whatever you want with it.
Fedora also ships with selinux enforcing by default, and was one of the first distros to do so. As far as I know, you still have to install it in Ubuntu. Also, I'm not sure what you're talking about with the "lots of daemons running and ports open" stuff -- this hasn't been my experience at all.
This is, of course, a tactic to entice new players.
I'm pretty sure this is only partially correct. It serves two purposes: 1) It helps people who play recruit their friends. If I'm high-level, and you don't have any characters, if Blizzard can make you get to my level faster, that means the game is more fun for both of us. 2) It helps people roll new alts. You're less locked into your character if the barrier to a new, more interesting one is lower.
Blizzard has also said that the newer content is better than the old content -- the designers / artists / writers / etc. have simply gotten better at making the game. Thus, they want you to spend more time in the newer areas, as they're (generally) higher quality.
I've never used ubuntu, and I'm not about to argue over which is better -- they're both linux, they're both great, they're both OSS, etc. Let's try to be better than fanboys here. I don't care which is better. I'm also not interested in your tinfoil hat conspiracies of "No matter how you cut it, Red Hat wants to, and needs to make Fedora inferior to RHEL in order to sell it, either in features, stability or someway else." That's dumb (d-u-m-b dumb) -- they offer commercial support for one, and not for the other, they don't "need" to make fedora worse. Stop being so crazy.
I'm interested in letting you -- and others who read this comment -- know that fedora is a great distro, it's not a demo, it's not of inferior quality to Red Hat, it's just built for a different audience.
Stop it. This is a total troll and is 100% FUD. Fedora isn't a "trial" version at all -- it's a bleeding edge distro made for people who don't need commercial-grade support for their distro, but they want a Red Hat based system. Plus, Fedora isn't just "usable," it's awesome. Far from being a collection of bits and pieces, it's a coherent, organized collection of software -- in short, it's everything you expect a distro to be.

I got this: Warning: "curl_error(): 1 is not a valid cURL handle resource in/home/rocky/domains/e-wikipedia.net/public_html/1.php on line 193" when trying to get a random page. Obviously Rocky has a pretty smart business model for keeping his content up to date...
Portal does rock, but I think one reason it's so great is because of its minimalism. I think Half-Life & Portal in the same game would be too much, and worse than the two games separately.

Yeah there's no way that's gunna backfire and get you fired / thrown in jail.

Different strokes I suppose -- I love using the ribbon.

Please, generalturdigson, enlighten /. (and any Fedora team members who are reading) as to your reasons for calling them stupid.

We'll always have the Arrested Development movie :P
I'm not sure about the XBox360, but the excellent ps3 media server will happily transcode matroska files for smooth playing on your ps3.

Is this something that SELinux would protect against?
No. Illegal clauses / illegal contracts are not enforceable, regardless of your signature on them.
