"When a new language fad replaces OOP, how do you convert legacy Java objects into Zamma-2008 objects? (I will eat a week's pay if OOP is still in vogue in 2015.)"
I don't mean to bother you, but it may not be necessary....NET can use/inherit objects written in one language in another. That's probably not the answer you're hoping for, but it'll work on Windows in any case.

If you want to run your own insecure crappy box, that's your perogative. And if someone uses your insecure crappy box to hurt someone else, well then there's going to be people coming around asking questions, and you'd better have some damn good answers. Your analogy, sir, is shite. Yes, the person breaking the law is responsible, but you gave him the opportunity he needed to break it. --

Anyone bored with your N64, feel free to rent Ogre Battle 64 (strategy rpg)... At 70 hours to beat it the first time through, renting it will let you know whether you want to purchase it. There are at least three different endings that I've found so far, plus lots of variations. Less emphasis on graphics, lots and lots of gameplay.
Quest (maker of the game, published by Atlus) is the type of not-so-big-name third party developer that Nintendo should be spending more time funding.
Pokémon Crystal came out in Japan recently, I don't think the series will die anytime soon. People underestimate it because I don't think anyone's seen anything quite like it. And after a mindnumbing day at the office, what better than a simple game of catching monsters and training them to fight other monsters?
Which leads into: Sony & Microsoft (er, there are rumors, but nothing confirmed yet about a WinCE DX-based MS handheld) have nothing on Nintendo's dominance of the handheld market. If Nintendo doesn't buy Sega, Sega could easily pocket some cash by developing for a Nintendo handheld. NGPC not doing too well =(
A discussion similiar to this already occured on kuro5hin, link here. The outcome of the discussion, revealed during a discussion of possible New Year's resolutions, was that the kid would stick with a CS degree and try hella freaking hard to do it despite the math and hardship, etc. His reasoning escapes me though...
I'm biased being a CS major. I really do get my jollies from reading obscure theory and coding useless stuff. CS = theory, CIS = practical. I figure if you know the theory, you'll be able to do the practical, you'll just have to spend that little extra time poring over manuals, HOWTOs, newsgroups, etc. --
