There are a lot of names people can use to describe programmers ( I am one ) but exceptionally dull weirdos made me smile because of its obvious trolling. It is amazing how many people will get angry at him when really it is more comical than anything.
I have seen a few new grads fired on the job because of their attitude. They believed that because they went through computer science at a specific school that won't be named, they were better than everyone else. Reality was that they were not (actually the worst) and no one could work with them. Hopefully they learned valuable lessons.
A company I used to work for partnered up with a large Software as a Service provider years ago (when they were a bit smaller). We along with other companies were writing applications to work with their software, and the Service provider was happy to have all of these applications to offer with there service. Turns out that they would find out which ones were most popular and then copy it which would put the integrating company out of business. Fortunately for us, we saw the patten early on before they had a chance to do it to us, an we left them.
Proof that this does happen. The provider today does not get tagged as an evil company, yet it does this.
I built the website www.mpegif.org. One day while at an international conference someone tells me about a site that looks very much like mine. I take a look, and yes it does. They stole the entire look and feel of the website including all published articles etc and passed it off as their own. That was back in 2004.
It happened another time as well.
This has been going on for years.
Being a hiring manager, I have been looking at the course work that many of the new grads have been doing during there time at university. I agree with the author that the course work in general is becoming dumbed down. I feel that there is a certain "abstraction" away from understanding how the under pinnings of software work. For example, the students in many universities are taught how to use software programs like mathlab to figure out problems rather than building software in order to learn. Also students I know use VHDL simulators rather than building actual simulators.
Cache is just a form of memory, just really fast memory. This ruling seems to imply that anything stored in L0 or L1 cache, or heck even in registers is evidence that must be maintained.
Interestingly, the network did not have DHCP locked down to not provide an ip address. Although not a big effort to overcome, keeping it open made his job even easier and gives even less sofisticated hackers a chance.

actually I meant to say "actual circuits"
