Double majoring in math isn't going to help you much if you want to go to grad school in CS...Everything you learn in your CS major will be sufficient to go on to graduate school, where you can enroll in graduate maths if you're smart enough instead of having to jump through the undergraduate hoops for both CS and maths.
Double majoring really serves no real purpose as an undergraduate because you can just as easily learn the stuff from your "other" major on your own... the work you put into schooling will show when you do actual research as a grad student.
Sorry guys, but all this hibernation talk is way off base.
Using hibernation in the future isn't going to help me now, when firefox is leaking memory like crazy, programs aren't working right and I need to reboot to get things running smooth again.
I think the best way to help boot times right now is by getting a 15k (or faster?) rpm hard disk...main bottleneck these days is hard disk read speed. Or am I wrong?
In the UK everyone who owns a TV set is required by law to purchase a TV license for that TV set... and not surprisingly anyone who doesn't have a license is a suspect "license-dodger". If they catch you using one without a TV license you could actually face jail-time.
Next thing you know, some brilliant chum over at M$ is going to claim that he invented the personal computer and every manufactureer owes him a royalty back-payments for patent infringement...
"Seriously, until IT has its own professional body that REQUIRES IT workers to be qualified/certificed in the same way as other professionals, its a career to steer clear of."
Unless you graduate from a non-ACM acreditted school, CS does have a professional body that does require university graduates to be qualified/certified by taking certain courses and passing a field entrance exam that is just like any other engineering field..
Math degree is a joke.... if you want to work for the NSA (.gov) you need a PHD in math to get on and they hire you as a temp for 6 months. Or, if you have a 4-year CS degree you get direct hired with no temp period.
CS is still a joke? ok sure

If firefox is the only program you ever have problems with, you obviously don't use computers much.
