given that you are stating that using finite time and resources spammers can send an infinite amount of emails, then I'd say that you don't really know what "infinity" means. Either that or you don't know what "literally" means. Last time I checked, finite but very large is still a lot smaller than infinite.
I'm not a US citizen, but I'm not european either. I just finnished a semester of studying in Finland as an exchange student in Helsinki University of Technology's CS department (TKK) and I can say that the program is really good, and Finland is a really fun place. There's lots of courses in english; I took mostly theoretical CS stuff since I'm pretty advanced in my studies, but there's something for everyone there. I really recommend TKK both for its CS courses and its university life. You'll meet a different culture and have fun.
As for the visa, I got a 6 month student residence permit (since I don't really need a visa to study there), which allowed me to work for 15 or 20 hours a week. Getting a tech job there is fairly easy for people who study at TKK and you only need to be fluent in english.
BTW, everyone speaks english there. You really don't need to learn finnish unless you want to. In six months the only people I met who didn't speak english were a bus driver and a cashier.
Go to Finland.
Santa actually lives in a crappy town in Finland called Rovaniemi. He's probaly having a sauna party now with lots of drunk, naked, sweaty elves.
Finland is a fun place in a really wrong way.
Well, it's not like you need propositional logic to work at mcdonalds. That's what philosophy majors do, right?
Now seriously, anyone who actually gets into a university should be smart enough to understand the basics of predicate calculus. You don't have to be a genius to understand truth tables. However, when faced with something like this (in spanish, sorry), what would a philosophy major do? And that was only the first of three tests (not counting the exam). If you don't understand much spanish, look at question 2. If you do understand spanish, look at question 4.
sorry, but what does decidability have to do with the kind of logic they teach in philosophy? Automata theory is nowhere near the scope of any philosophy logic course, so why would they even consider turing machines or decidability?
That is unless you're talking about mathematical logic, in which case it all makes sense
I took a logic course from my university's math department. A few people majoring in philosophy took that very same course. They ran away scared after the teacher explained what a well formed formula in propositional logic is. And the sad thing is that that course was fairly easy compared to the course in computational logic I took last semester. I wonder what those philosophy majors would have done when faced with the notion of decidability.
Mathematical (and/or computational) logic is really far away from what they teach in philosophy. Socrates might've been a man and therefore mortal, but he didn't study computer science.

sorry; all I remember from that movie is KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
According to wikipedia, its supposed to go public on the 18th. That's a bit more than a week and a lot less than half a century.
care to explain for the rest of us?
Not news for nerds and completely irrelevant to any readers outside the US
All those you mentioned are propietary. The fact that a certain format is a de facto standard doesn't make it any less propietary.
Funny, I always thought U-2 was better without Bono

Lawyers profit daily from other people's crimes and don't pretend otherwise too, but we still have them running around free (unfortunately)
South America is cheaper, and at least my university (Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile) is ABET-certified. I've only seen an international student in a CS course once, since most exchange students who come to south america take mostly history or language courses, so more exchange students are appreciated. A word of warning though, I studied for a semester in Finland and I've got a couple of friends who've studied in several US universities (including CMU), and we all believe that they make us work A LOT more in our university. The only ones I've heard complaining about how hard they had to work abroad were the ones who went to école polytechnique du paris (or other french technical universities).

I traded in blue screens every couple of weeks for no problems at all with ubuntu, and i didn't even have to pay a thing!

Who did you steal that card from?
maybe we can convince him that the lawyers are peasants who live in the country side in their thatched-roof COTTAGES!

I found a different solution to the same problem. Worked like a charm against those annoying UAC messages.
why didn't any of them troll as an anonymous coward?
