Anyone who's been to a car audio store knows what the amplifiers look like. Their entire case is one big heat sink. Plus, the use more electricity than a PC. Yet they don't need a fan.
I've been waiting for case manufacturers to turn the case into a big heat sink. If the audio folks can do it, why not the computer people?
Hacking your career? Some managers might get upset with this.:-)
My biggest problem with this type of title is that it assumes your career is something that can be ordered online, like a book. The best security folks I've found have a passion for the topic. They're obsessed with finding vulnerabilities and closing them. I think your money might be better spent on some of the exciting books in the area like Applied Cryptography .
Oh certainly, it's just a battle of attrition now

Linux Feels Growing Pains

This is the typical WSJ restatement of the obvious. The real question is how much truth there is to it. I'm sure that commercial companies like MS (and Sun etc..) can do better than open source when they really focus. A salary is a great thing.
But that doesn't mean it will work for them in the long run. I see the success of what the WSJ so quaintly calls "a program called Linux" as a way of forcing the big companies to offer real value. The tough question is who will win in the long run.
I'm sure that the big companies will be able to offer something extra for the extra price, but I'm not sure whether it will be enough. For every one person who chooses the Cadillac model from MS, there will be dozens who will choose cheap Linux. Given the success of Walmart, I'm not sure I want to bet on the earning power of expensive quality.
