oooh I'm getting reported for this one 
This is old because everyone is super happy with Nvidia now.
The reason people didn't like Nvidia in the past was an absolute refusal to allow their drivers into Linux. Last week they reversed this and have embraced the ecosystem. So they've totally done a 180.
All about wine here.
Probably has a lot to do with their aims with the all-in-one (have no idea what they are called right now) graphics compute systems they are building with Mellanox kit.
I think most of the education world runs on some flavour of *NIX or *BSD?

OMG, this is so true! I can't tell you how many times the slot covers have helped me get them straight enough to properly seat the CPU!
I'd point a light at them and look for the out of place shadow.
Worst one was an Intel Xeon Scalable socket. I was sweating as that was a possible costly error. The proc slipped.
AMD was brilliant with the slide tray. Slip it in, drop the tray down, and we're locked and ready to go. Simple and no chance of dropping the CPU.

A rebranding of the "stare at your newspaper nature trail"

Which was preceded by the "stare at your book" nature trail.

I remember something a comedian once said about, "the shallow end of the gene pool" that is probably applicable here.

Funny, but also true. When security through obscurity is how you think you stay secure, source code leaks are a big deal. When you actually WANT people to read your code because you want it to work and be something to be proud of, leaks are a "good thing". Only those ashamed of their code or trying to secure it through obscurity would be upset at their code getting out there.
