Maybe not. The fact the most of the other exchanges use Linux indicates that they knew something that LSE didn't.

The PDFs for the press conference have pictures containing a white dot which are alledged to be the crater and the explosion.

Some headhunters are not worth "keeping around."

I've had a few that repeatedly contact me to discuss completely unsuitable positions. After wasting 10 minutes on the phone trying to grasp how Position X is even remotely relevant to my skills or expectations, I finally realize that it's not me failing to understand something, it's that the headhunter has no clue what the keyword list provided by his client actually means. Then next month, same headhunter and same routine. I've even had one headhunter who would phone and email - repeatedly - about the exact same position. Based on my read of the situation it's because it kept coming available over and over again as a string of candidates were hired and quickly left in disgust.

Sometimes the very best thing to say to such people is "look, I don't really think you understand me or my job search. Maybe it's best if you just remove my name from your database."

Maybe I didn't RTFA well enough, but also didn't get it, why a BSD blog is singling out linux. What about all the other *nixes. Was there something has was trying to say that only applies to linux?

PS. FWIW Solaris doesn't allow root network logins by default. That plus a packet filter will prevent anyone from logging in from other than home or office.

What kind of developer are you?

Generally speaking a Mac is easy to setup and configure and the OS is damn stable. Anything I want on Windows just seems to be so horribly cluttered with details (Like setting up wifi.)
I am an integrator which means I travel a lot and stay with many different clients. I have a 17'' Macbook Pro and it's slim design allows me to easily use it on a train. It's large screen means I can actually work with it and at home I never ever plug in my monitor. The fabulous trackpad is way better than a mouse and I never ever plug one in.
Even if your main operating system is Linux or Windows, the Macbook hardware will make life easier.

... give the impression that Austalia's governors are stupid fucks.

I understand your point but it sort of misses the point of the article. There is a difference between "Can do" and "Can do without wanting to slam my head through the monitor." This is the difference that is being pushed here.

Exactly. That's why I hate using Windows so much. In Linux, it's easy and fast, but in Windows, it's always a major PITA to do anything simple, usually involves downloading some dodgy shareware app from the internet that bugs me for registration fees, and is incredibly slow.

Things have to work quickly and easily or you'll lose them in a second.

Exactly, which is why I wish I could just quit my job so I don't have to use Outlook any more. Every time I click on an email, it takes 30-60 seconds to show up, and Outlook usually freezes up during that time. I never have that problem in Linux.

I've lived on border cities almost my entire life. Even my hispanic coworkers agree(and those poor bastards have to wait hours at the border crossing just to make an honest living) that it's all just security theater, another half-baked escalation to justify the creation of the wasteful, ham-handed gestapo called DHS. It goes without saying that I can still get cocaine or any other drug anytime I want stateside, and that won't change anytime soon.

So they scoop up a pic of child porn or an occasional drug bust and hype the hell out of it in the news, problem solved. A budget for next year, and no admission that the creation of the DHS was a colossal mistake. Of course, they'll have their work cut out for them when the United States becomes the next Nazi Germany and they're tasked with sealing the borders.
