He was great as Gandlaf, and the whole movie was pretty darn good, though having just finished the book and working on getting through the others, I realized a lot of little details that weren't there (many of which shouldn't have been for time purposes).
But some spots, with the inflection in his voice, I just couldn't keep from thinking - When's Magneto going to come out and take the ring or just detroy it himself with his mutant powers?
In an effort to reduce confusion regarding the correlation between IIS/MS Windows viruses and worms and degredation in internet traffic, Microsoft has announced the realease of their own global routing protocol, MSGP.
"MSGP has taken a few days to develop this great technology using some of the brightest minds from around the world. Incorporating transfer of information using FEP (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3093.txt), we can ensure that when a virus hits, all internet traffic will come to a screaching halt" a Microsoft spokesperson said at yesterdays press conference.
Cisco has announced they will have firmware revisions tomorrow to incorporate this into all their products.
Maybe Katz would be laid off. Maybe some of the visas will get taken away. Maybe some expired visas will be enforced and people with possible bomber like tendancies will get sent home. And maybe instead of front line "techs" reading some workaround from a book, there'll actually be backline people to create patches to fix problems.
And, maybe this will make some people think about their futures. Maybe save money and not have the biggest and best of everything because if you spread yourself too thin, you'll end up getting rid of it in order to get by.
So he'd ask people if they own a PC. I know a couple of people who don't own PC's anymore. There's Sun Blades, SparcStations, Indigo's, Alpha's and all sorts of things non-PC that you can do a lot more with.
There are the differences which have already been mentioned, so I'll give you my $.02 worth of advice.
Check out the school and the classes required for both programs. There's a good chance there will be overlap, and after taking some intro programming and hardware classes you can probably make a more informed decision based on which you like more and what you're good at doing.
Don't forget to check out other departments as well. Having gone to a school with an CE in engineering and what they considered usual CS degree in business (NT and Novell stuff), I checked out the Math deptarment and found they had a degree with a conecntration in CS - logic, language formation, angorithm analisys, and a great UNIX lab.
Good luck with school whatever you decide to pick.
Granted, file sharing has really expanded my music collection, but why file sharing over a network, or file sharing compared to CD sharing?
I've downloaded a lot of stuff, but about half of my MP3's are CD'my friends own. And a lot of them have MP3's of thier friend's CD's and so on. Is it really file sharing, or just the big increase in availability of CD burners and blanks that leads to the "problem" of increased sales?
I agree with not taking all engineering courses. That's why I found a Math program which offered a concentration in computer science. Best decision I ever made. Doing proofs and studying logic, philosophy, and recently, Goedels incompleteness theorem will really change your outlook on the whole industry.
I've met engineering grads who couldn't debug. It's just sad.
Several points were badly presente as bad. First of all the RIO. He complains about it and then MP3 quality in general. I hope this guys listened to MP3 on more than a RIO. As someone who can't afford a hi-fi system, I cant' comment more on this.
I have a CDR and now have close to 11 CD's of MP3's (a little over that). First thing I did was encode the ones I listened too all the time to take to work. Then my friends found out and I have backups of a lot of their music, and just recently I downloaded one CD's worth of music from the net. Most of it it techno and/or from outside the US (which most stores don't carry, let alone have samples), and I am going to BUY what I liked. The rest I keep and trade to let other people sample.If the RIAA were smart, they'd not only embrace this, but maybe even find a way to offer people MP3 formats of music they may have bought years ago on cassette or vinyl which may be borked.
The format is here to stay. With the large support, variety of players, and encoders that end users can easily use and have access to, it's not going away.
And as for the age comments, I work with several guys in their 30s and 40s that download MP3's more than I do. It's not just college students.

Someday I'd like to say I don't own a PC.

You could always order more than one pair, one with the iD "child" the the other iD "labor", then mix and match them. Or use "Sweat" and "Shop".
Not as effective, but it would get the idea cross.
