I'm lucky enough to have (almost) finished a Computer Science degree in a post-secondary facility that offers co-operative education. That is to say, we go 4 months study, 4 months work, 4 months study, 4 months work...
If what you'd like to do is get a job in a related industry, checking out what your college offers would probably be a good first step. Switching into a Co-op version of your degree would be a good second step.
Use low-level constructs in low-level languages. If you're writing in a high-level language (like C++) you're doing so specifically to avoid things like pthreads....or because it's mandated by work/school.
And yet Canada, with a third of a million more square klicks of area and a tenth of the population, still has higher broadband adoption rates than the US. You in the south and we in the north have been inextricably bound for the better part of three centuries, yet our small differences result in a much better standard of living, standing on the world stage, and, yes, broadband adoption for the north.
What is it in our differences that makes things seem better for me than for you? I don't know. I wish I did.
But since I'm on the upswing, I have no impetus to try and find out, so I try to not let it bother me too much.
they're walking into speeding buses and moving automobiles
If you're walking into one, you're either doing it head-on (which makes you incompetent, and pizza), from the rear (which makes you better than Donovan Bailey), or from the side. If it's from the side, you get spun around, perhaps a good clunk by the side-view mirrors, and your butt deposited on the ground.
What appears to be the issue here is that either the speeding buses and moving automobiles are disobeying traffic law, or the pedestrian is. Whomever's fault it is should pay for it. End of story.
Expanding, if the pedestrian is crossing when it is not legal for him/her to do so (either by crossing in the middle of a street, jaywalking, or crossing when the lights at an intersection expressly forbid you to do so), then they're taking their own (and the persons' in the cars on the streets) life into their own hands. If he/she is crossing when it is legal (correct place, correct time), then if an automobile or bus crashes into them, it's their damn fault.
Geez, Louise, people. Existing law has this covered. More legislation makes you look incompetent, and that's usually the last thing a government wants to reveal to their constituents.
Encrypting does make it more difficult, but keep in mind that, unless you're paranoid, you're downloading the.torrent over an unencrypted channel. Not to mention that the tracker protocol is still unencrypted. If you are a dev-type-person, you can probably come up with an easy way to identify streams that 1) go largely in one direction, 2) are filled with seemingly-nonsense bits, 3) has one end that has recently downloaded a.torrent or connected to a tracker, and 4) has the other end in the list of IPs in the packets returned by the tracker.
Not to mention how simple it would be to grab the.torrent yourself, connect to the swarm, and identify endpoints that way.

It's-a vehrry naice
Turns out the redirect doesn't happen if you're using Firefox: http://www.boingboing.net/2007/03/07/turkey_youtub e_block.html
...one can only hope
Perhaps this is just an excuse to get the people of Turkey to stop using IE?

I was almost certain that it was Ben Bova. Mind you, PlanetES is a direct address of this problem, so I may be thinking about it instead.
...report writes you! ((Or, better, the market writes the reports))
Truly, in a capitalist environment, the markets should decide who is write and wrong. Science should be chosen by those with good money sense.
Ugh.
