Yeah, except until Red Hat spots Canonical making in-roads on their business model and then squishes them...

To be fair I'm probably a Red Hat fan-boi, I respect what Canonical are doing but... I just can't see how their going to make it work in the long run.
I would say at your parent's house but this being slashdot that's probably not offsite.
"Actually, BT is probably in bed with the people who actually run the country"
TFTFY.
On an only sightly less cynical note, you have to wonder if "the current government" are (as a conceptual entity rather than the specific case we have at the moment) any better at administering such a large/long project than a benign coperate monopoly (if such a thing exists)?
Exactly, that describes London to a tee.

I'm afraid the 1st of April has been and gone.
The only benifit to the population at large in this entire exercise is that we now have the names and addresses of the people stupid enough to pony up ~$180,000 for an almost certiainly pointless TLD. 419-fodder if ever there was any.

You're really comapring an unknown and evidently not-so-hot Apple developer leaving debug in their code to Ken Thompson, arguably one of the greatest programmers ever, slipping a self replicating trojan into the binary image of a compiler? "Purhlease..."
You're comparing Apple(s) to oranges. Detecting highly cunning subterfuge is an enitrely different ball game to picking up that one of your peers sat over on the other desk has accidentally left a few lines of debug in.
Fair game
Considerable more immune, yes.
That's option B, option A is called "Open Source".
I hope.

Seonded, and it still is the case in 2011. I'd done the RHCT on RHEL 5 under my own steam and my company paid for me and a handful of others to do the RHCSA/RHCE on RHCE 6. I would have done the same course as you and sat both exams on the Friday, RHCSA in the morning and RHCE in the afternoon. I passed both and at least 4 of my collegues did as well (although one used to work for Redhat as a trainer so it was a bit of a given), however we have several perfectly/very good sysadmins who failed.
It's not a gimme and requires actual hands-on expiriece, the course is crammed with around an average of 40-60 pages of material a day.

No-one mention the Hammersmith flyover okay.

Although you did miss "regular supersonic passenager aircraft flights" off that list, it was so scienece fiction we stopped using it because it was making everyone else look bad. Oh and it blew up of course.
Will Smith had his day off interrupted?
God bless Will, God bless America!
I've heard rumour that Perl and PHP we going to merge back together now that they've hit version number parity again and that's why there's a massive delay with PHP 6 as well?
I'd argue that's a technicality but live by the sword, die by the sword, I can't argue when Wikipedia uses Mastercard and Visa as the primary example of duopoly eh?
I'd still prefer to use the word monopoly in this case on the basis that the term carries greater negative connotations in the context and society in general and also on the Duck principle i.e. if it looks and quacks like one...
