You mean software engineering. Computer engineering is... poorly defined. Some places, you can get away with saying CE when you mean SE; some places it means hardware design.
In France, fashion designs are protected intellectual property (like books or songs are in the U.S.). Currently, in the U.S., fashion designs do not have this protection. However, there are lobbyist on capitol hill right now trying to have this oversight (or "oversight", if you're against the idea) fixed. I read the article last week sometime, but of course, now I can't find it...
Yeah, seriously, it's not like they tried to capitalize on the franchise before and lost gobs and gobs of money... twice. How could they *possibly* be skitish?
Pittsburgh has CMU, which has a top-tier CS program, a top-tier ECE program, and the ETC (Entertainment Technology Center); what boggles the mind is why there aren't _more_ success stories like spinnaker comming out of Pittsburgh.
So the government is complaining to Google that they're selling "american values" short by working with the Chinese government, while simultaneously undermining the free and unbiased media of other countries? Hey congress; don't look to silicon valley for trouble, try looking up the street 16 blocks.
How? I was just poking around their site and can't find anyway to contact the artists directly; all there is is a.cgi form that reports back to Sony corporate.
Also, someone should join their bboard and let the fans there know, too. (I just can't bring myself to join a country music board though::shudder::;)
A few years ago (while still in college) I got a used Jornada 820 for $50 and a used wireless card for $15 (I use it primarily as a portal term; it's lighter than a "real" laptop, with better battery life and still a full keyboard). ONE of my textbooks cost me $190 that semester (had to have the new edition too, grumblegrumble).
In short, I believe it. Haven't RTFA, but I'm sure they're not using $1,000 PDAs.
Gibson talks about Buffy/Star Trek crossover fanfic as if it's something useful or important (has he gone off the deep end?) But discounting remixing isn't the answer. ALL great works of art have their roots in other great works of art. While mashups and fanfic are perhaps the most blatant and crass examples, encouraging more people to get involved with such things will, I think, eventually give us more truly creative artists, and truly new works of art. Remixing isn't the pinacle of art, it's how new artists begin.
If that's what people want, then work should be done to get ftp clients, bt clients, http (I assume that's what you meant when you typed html) clients, etc., to be able to communicate with a central download manager type app; then let people choose the clients they want.
What ever happened to "do one thing, but do it well", and connecting simple pieces of software to do complex tasks? I want a program that renders html. I want a program that downloads torrents. And MAYBE I'll take a little bit of glue between them to get from one to the other. I don't want it all to be in the same program; maybe I won't _like_ Opera's implimentation.
Somedays I feel like a visitor from an alien world on the internet. Integration? my.yahoo? portal? It's like they're speaking. I hope google stays smart, and keeps all their separate services separate. The day I need a gmail account to use google search is the day I stop using google search, and that'll be a sad, sad day.

If that were true, then why hasn't OpenOffice.org been an excel killer? It's well past the 2% mark.

So, eventually, it'll be a moot point.

Zonk's... what can I say... a bit slow.

Well, we are talking about Zonk; who redefines "editor" in general and "gaming editor" in particular in his own... umm... special way.
Couldn't you use a wiki? It'd be a bit rough around the edges, but it'd be a good place to start.
What about Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick? Think about it, and then guess the plot for the next movie.
No no no, George is lost to us. George has to die, and then 20 or 30 years from now Joss Whedon can remake Star Wars.
One of the two. Fat man was an implosion-style devince, not a gun-type device. (Read the articles at wikipedia.)
Yes, it's a huge market, and they'd lose out on $$. No one said doing no evil was easy.
Neither of those gets them out of the hypocrisy hole.
Notepad? These puppies are wireless; all you need is ssh. Heck, it's all I use on my 5-year-old laptop.
Also, someone should join their bboard and let the fans there know, too. (I just can't bring myself to join a country music board though ::shudder:: ;)
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
Whew, that was rough... back to work now!

I don't know about you, but when I click a link to a .torrent file, it pops up btdownloadgui... how is this any better?

The ice caps are almost entirely CO2.
Does your acronym actually apply in this context, or is saying "No, it's Read After Write!" just as appropriate?
