The money isn't only in.net.
Also, because of this misconception, or should I say common sense, there are countries where students who finish faculty and want to get a job find out that they are offered less money for being a.net developer as compared for example for a Java developer. Two reasons: too many students learn.net instead of e.g. Java because they hear people say it's easier and because 'that's where the money is'.
At my faculty (www.ii.edu.mk), and almost everywhere on the Balkans, during exams cell phones, pdas, iPods, etc... are forbidden. Only calculators. On some exams even calculators with function drawing capabilities are forbidden because it's the point to show that you know how to do it manually.
What kind of exam is that with phones and touch based devices? Even if you don't use communication, you can scan the whole book into pictures and read it during the exam. That's cheating.
"I'm thinking of buying 30 el-cheapo four-function calculators out of my pocket, but I'm afraid that less-adaptable students will be unable to handle the switch from the calculator they know to an unfamiliar (but simpler) one."
-- If a physics student can't use a basic calculator, It's time for him first to figure that out, and after that to think on taking the exam.
Hasn't had any major changes?? What about in here:
1. Compiz/AWN; 2. KDE 4; 3. Google android/openmoko; 4. Mono/Moonlight; 5. Wine version 1.0; 6. gStreamer/phonon; 7. ATI releases open source drivers; 8. Ubuntu based distributions craze; 9................And I can go on and on.... the list is infinite.... and in the future it will be more and more dense and more and more people/project will emerge in the Linux scene.
