I think what people 12-17 don't understand, and not through any fault of their own but mostly just because of the fact they haven't been exposed to corporate America is that there's a thing called Accountability. People in the business world now feel that e-mail is a sufficient medium for discussing important business matters, setting deadlines, etc. While this may change in the coming years, and definetly will, that is the concensus now. So, for someone 12-17 who doesn't have to deal with corporate America at this point e-mail probably does feel a bit old school.
OK, that article is from 2002. Winex or Cedega is on version 3.2 now, that article is from version 2.
Speaking from experience, depending on the application speed loss is hardly noticable in most of the games I run (including World of Warcraft, Warcraft III, others).
I don't like the inconvenience of having to reboot. For me it's as simple as that. I use Wine with the D3D patches over cedega whenever possible, for obvious reasons, but both of them perform well now-a-days.
Epson C60 - Decent priced generic ink (bought to save on ink)
Canon PIXMA IP1500 - Very cheap generic ink (bought because of quality and ink prices)
I bought the ip1500 about 3 months ago for about 30 USD. I buy only generic ink and have excellent results with them. I usually wait until the company http://www.abcink.com/ has a special, and I get generally get ink for about $2 per cartridge, so I buy about 15 cartridges at a time. Even with my Epson, which I used for a good amount of time, I did not have any major issues.
I think knowing what cyclic dependency is doesn't really have anything to do with being a serious computer user, or a linux user. There are dependencies that are circular, meaning item 1 depends on item 2, but item 2 depends on item 1. Therefore, you cannot install item 1 because you need item 2, but you cannot install item 2 because you need item 1. Maybe a better term is "dependency loop" or "cyclic dependency loop?"
I work for a smaller company and we've been using subversion since the day it went 1.0.
Once we found out about trac we moved to that as well.
We have about 15-20 projects managed under trac for different clients, and we have no problems with them. A little bit of work in the initial implementation makes setting up instances later trivial. We've had great success with it and feel that multiple projects work well.
The OOP in PHP5 is "better", but really implemented in the same sort of way a lot of things in PHP are; very loosely. One such example is that a class that implements an interface is not required to implements all of the interface's prototypes. XML support is pretty good with SimpleXML, and is one of the main reason we've upgraded most of our servers. We also found it very transparent switching from PHP4 to PHP5, excluding that you cannot use "this" unless you are in an Object, which was not the same in PHP4;
For a great deal of time even the most powerful go programs were very weak compared to their human counterparts. The the fact that a simplified version of Go was solved by a computer speaks volumes for the program/programmer as well as the hardware.
You have the ability to purchase what you want. However, if you do decide against a HP for this reason, you really should notify HP and tell them why you decided against buying their hardware, making them realize that just like Apple's one button mouse, not all ideas are good ones.
I don't feel this is cheating on Intel's part at all. This solution is more a direct reaction to what other processor makers have been doing. Although throttling might inadvertantly help their heat problems, for the consumer it means longer processor life, and no real dropoff in performance. When you need the power, it's there. When you don't, the processor is prolonging it's life. The alterative is that you're machine is running at 3.7~ghz while you are using vim or mutt and frying itself. I'd prefer the longer life over the "feeling" of more power when I don't really need it.

http://www.simpledine.com/ has been providing this same functionality for some time, except that they are more widespread.

I can't think of a better test case than Michigan roads for this material.

You can still write procedural code if you want to, nothing is stopping you, or forcing you into using the OOP methodology.
The OOP in PHP5 is "better", but really implemented in the same sort of way a lot of things in PHP are; very loosely. One such example is that a class that implements an interface is not required to implements all of the interface's prototypes.

I think as a good rule of thumb it's useful to disregard everything Steve Ballmer says. Everyone knows he's a MS pumpet and nothing more.
