HP Lays Off Unix/IA-64 gurus

A reader writes "On Tuesday HP announced that it is closing a lab in NJ. This was an HP-UX development lab, responsible for porting HP-UX to IA64. The lab employed top engineers, including some who have worked in Unix kernels for over 20 years (originally from Bell Labs, Novell, and other companies). " That report came from a soon-to-be former employee.

    So if someone breaks your anti-copying technology, are you going to sue?

    The Digital Millennium Copyright Act prohibits users from circumventing copy protection. It's now a crime in America to do that.

    There you have it. Fair use is now illegal.

    I am a recent computer science graduate and I have been laid off from my job. It has been three months now and I still haven't found a new job. I wonder if some of you guys know where there are developer jobs out there. I'm getting a little depressed. I graduated with high honors. But because I only have a year of experience, I cannot qualify for the mid-level positions. I also do not know where to find entry-level jobs because I do not qualify for on-campus interviews anymore. I need a little help. Someone point me to the right direction.
