Hmm, I'm not too interested in the domains that RDBMSs tend to be used in but on the other hand I find relational database theory to be pretty interesting.

Before C# there was darkness...

I was thinking about this the other day.  It seems like the RedHat (and others) have fell off the truck.  I don't hear much about them anymore.  3-5 years ago, you could not read anything that was not talking about Linux this or that.  I am thinking 95% of the downloads where to see what all the fuss was about.  Another interesting trend from where I sit, is that the windows hating seems to have cut way back from years ago.  Happened so slowly that I did not really notice it until now.

windows hating seems to have cut way back from years ago

That's not true - windows hating morphed into Vista hating there has never been a better time to hate Windows than now - We the Windows haters are on a row Wink To the point that ordinary users (not only the power users) are joining forces with us to spread the word (the hate) on the net.

As someone who used almost exclusively Debian, Ubuntu and free software on my desktops and laptops for five years, I have to say that some aspects of the culture surrounding them has been turning me off recently.  Spreading the word is fine, but do we really need a bunch of trolls posting ill-informed knee-jerk b.s. (in the sense that they don't really care whether it's true or not) on every *ing MS-related story on every blog?

Another thing is that a lot of the FUD around Vista is about the same things as the FUD around Linux -- basically compatibility, familiarity and not wanting to have to deal with limited user accounts.  I guess you could say turnabout is fair play, but after five years of frustration at the Linux FUD it kinda bugs me to see the same stuff applied in the other direction.

There is significant discontent with Vista coming from long-time Windows users who don't find the OS familiar. The so called Linux trolls are certainly not responsible for all the bad publicity that Vista got - a lot of it was quite to the point because what MS did was to release a product in beta after 5 years of development. And although UAC goes in the right direction in principle its practical realization is a disaster - I don't know anybody who uses Vista with the UAC turned on.
