I don't quite understand this - When I was a youngun', not that long ago, I swear, Getting a Ph.D. was a terminal degree in a subject that you had spent enough time learning about and researching that you had purely mastered the subject of said Ph.D. Now a days, I guess it just says "HEY, I CAN HAZ DR!!!11". The purpose of getting that deep into a subject is because you want to be a master of that field and a thought leader when it comes to the subject matter, not so you can get a job working on PCs!~ Jeezus H. Christ on a popcycle stick! Why would anyone work that damn hard and then _NOT_ work in the field?
For personal stuff I have an HP Vision APU based laptop, it is running Fedora - It took two full days to get it there due to issues with the video driver support. I know, it is a newer system so I have to wait for enough reverse engineering or open source drivers for it to work well...yep.
For work, I use Windows XP still - Only because I have to!
For my second job I use Mac OS X (early 2011 macbook pro). I have had plenty of problems with it, battery problems after upgrading to Lion, running Virtual Machines on it makes it so hot that I nearly need a set of tongs to handle it. I run Ubuntu and Windows 7 on it in virtualized...
I really would like to move to either Fedora or Ubuntu on all my systems, but I can't due to some tools and systems I access. SSL VPN won't work with OS X because the TUN adapter needs root to install, unstable video on Linux (at least on my new laptop) and incompatibilities between Libre Office and MS Office. I will just keep using them all for the tasks that they work for until something happens to make things more even across the board.
What I did to sharpen my interviewing skills was to go find a job I knew I could blow out of the water, tweak my resume' so it looked like a good fit, then went and interviewed for it. I would come out of the interview feeling like I aced it, then once they were salivating over me for the job, go on another one, but this time a bit more difficult one. It worked for me, YMMV.
It happens every couple of years. Go do a google search and you will see. They are as bad as Apple, it don't matter how bad they fuck up, people forget and go back to thumb typing.
Back in the day, people on AOL weren't surfing the internet, they were surfing AOL's cached crap. This is just AOL again, what's old is new again. I prefer to interact with the internet in real time and have the content I see under my control as it were.
Back in the day (yep, I am old!) before there were cell phones in every empty hand happily clicking away at the mobile web, facebook, youtube, etc., there were no cell phones. I believe it was AT&T, or someone who worked for them who designed the first cell phone. Why on earth don't they invest the same time and money they did coming up with the goddamn things in the first place to develop a better technology to make the damn things scale better? It is just plain stupid to keep plugging in more antennas hoping you can keep adding millions of users to an infrastructure that was developed 30-40 years ago. It don't work for high speed internet access, and it won't work for them. AT&T! HEY! You are _going_ to have to spend some fucking money, get over it bitches!
I am running Lion on a Macbook Pro, it is a mid 2010 model I believe, though I am not really anal enough to care. I upgraded it to Lion after about 3-4 months on the developers release and haven't had any issues at all. I also upgraded my 2009 iMac and my wife's 2008 white Macbook. The only issue with any of them has been changing the mouse scrolling back to _MY_ natural scrolling way!
No one lost money on FDIC Insured banks?!?!? I think you need to go do some research before you say something like that. The insurance is only good up to 150,000 or 100,000 dollars...people have lost money.
It would be an easy fix. Stop producing software/services for the iXXX devices. The fact that you couldn't get certain software on Macs kept them from catching in the past.
First, you do not need a vulnerability to initiate a DDoS attack, second, filter port 80, don't block it, third, go back to school...you obviously weren't listening on the day they taught attack and deflect.

Ooow!! Hey, that hurt!
Yes, but will it run Windows 3.1 or NT 4.0?
Good being the operative word there - I like a good one as well, but it takes trying about 50 of them to find that one good one.
Correction - MS and Apple both PAY CHINESE to produce actual products. There, fixed that for ya.
It matters to virtualization. Higher density equates to more systems on a single server, which equates to less power for the same number of servers.

You're using the wrong OS.
That would be called a server...

No, I don't. I haven't paid for a cell phone in over 10 years... Now, my employer does, they give them LOTS of money! :o)

Play Crysis! :o)
Wait...you have a 250 gb drive from 1997? I think there may be a typo in that comment...I thought the preview button was mandatory now!!
I wish I had mod points - I would have given you +5 for use the term "get off the sauce"!! LOLOL!!!

RSYNC over SSH FTW!!!!
Read up douche - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Deposit_Insurance_Corporation Prior to 2008, the limit was $100,000. I lost $45,000 that was not reimbursed, proof enough?

It looks as if the Super Computer is running Windows 7 from the screen shots.

Honeycomb supports encryption...reportedly.
