First off i'd like to congratulate the fail0verflow team. Regardless of the motivation or rational behind the attack, and the perceived errors in the implementation, this is seriously impressive feat of engineering to attack and defeat such a system.
everyone seems to see it as a fail on behalf of Sony . Isn't this IBM's Cell at fault ?
"Intel agreed to buy 100 per cent of the animation software company Havok, the name that Telekinesys trades under, for about 79.2 million (euro) cash in a deal expected to close within five days."
AFAIK havok is an irish company spun out of Trinity Collage Dublin. www.tcd.ie
i was in the same position as you. not 10 years. but enough. found i was programming powerpoint and excel to lay off people. so i found a willing professor, picked an MSc. thesis and jumped ship. Initially it was a surprise to realise what happened when i wasn't looking. i found java (and now.net) amazing. its different than before. you don't learn all these APIs etc. you just think what you can or need to do and find the API. you learn where to look rather than learn them all. the best part of the return to school was teaching young students stuff. it makes you learn it first. so one way if you can't afford the pay cut. is to find a night course (with sylabus) to teach. you learn and get the added buzz of teaching. best of luck with whatever you decide./nc
as a follow up. most of the major irish news networks have carried headlines to the backlash to this story. it did make front page news to a country historically allergic to civil liberties breaches. the justice minister responsible has been backtracking most of the day. lets see where it takes us.
why request pgp when every one who needs it can use straight pki via pkcs11/csp for s/mime ? outlook , netscape etc are all capable of interop for this domain. has pgp something special

the system is pretty easy to use. you don't need a CS major to work it.
