You need credibility indicators, including the degree. Firstly, to make it past the automated resume filters. Secondly, to connect with often non-technical hiring managers. Start the process to finish the degree. In the breaks between degree work, get certifications in technologies that pay well. Yes, there are lots of people who have certs, but don't know really know anything useful. But I usually hear about them, because they actually got through to the interview rounds before getting found out. If you actually have IT/Tech chops, and have (the desired) certs, and are working on your degree, getting a decent job, while still not easy, will be at least easy-er. Finally, if you have time, do a good job at some volunteer IT work for a charity in return for a recommendation. Or do a really good job at some reasonable, concrete contract work and make a recommendation part of the compensation if they're happy. Hiring is a tough process for the hiring manager. Try to make his/her job easier with respect to hiring you.
I think the cyber- prefix is an artifact our transitional age (no global network -> pervasive global network). Kids born today will probably not distinguish between "cyber" parts of their world and real parts as concretely as we do. If they hear "cyber" in conversation, they will dismiss the speaker as being part of their parents' generation. People born after the mid-70s tend think of the word "groovy" (language not-withstanding) the same way in my experience.

I have heard this called "Twin Peaks Syndrome." Twin Peaks apparently started out as a fact-based mystery, but the writers dug themselves in so deep, that they resorted to mystical hand waving to wrap things up.
Adobe makes their money on implementing efficient work flows for manipulating images, etc. If I am an independent designer, the more work I can cram into a day, the better I live. If I run a megacorp design department, the more work my employees can do, the fewer I need and the larger my bonus. I personally love and use the GIMP. It's an amazing project, but when I go head to head with my brother with his CS4 on a particular task, for the most part, I can't compete.
This leak feels like the ones Apple's secret police use. Since it's particularly inflammatory, I wonder if they only gave specific people access to it to track down who was doing the leaking...
Also, as an admin, help your clients change their business processes to minimize the number of workstations where regular users are local administrators. Yes, some software packages need local admin to work, but most do not. While doing this will not be a panacea, it does seem to cut infection rates down.
Instead of participating in a conference, companies seem to be using Facebook pages, client email campaigns, and the like. The customers that call/email/post back they visit directly to do demos.
A new format with technically sophisticated features that doesn't seem to be quite in tune (pardon the pun) with what most users want... I was reminded of this when I saw that someone had tossed a case of 7 mini discs into the recycling box today. There was no post on the company "for sale" board, even for free - they were simply deemed useless. I think there will be a "digital album format" eventually, since many think the general concept is nice, but it will take a few design rounds to get it right.
Amen. Some of the best projects in which I have been involved were run from a whiteboard in lieu the official MS Project method. In the end, all of these things are just tools. If the leaders of your projects aren't good, lack experience leading projects, or a simply overloaded, no nifty tracking tool will help.
The Gnome team is working with several university neurology departments to develop a patch for human nature that fixes this problem. It will be included in Gnome 4.

Given the recent similar issue with supposedly buggy Windows updates, I say this is an undetected root kit cleaning up after itself.

If the submitter is in a Windows shop (I assumed he was), those won't work. The idea is to transparently isolate the bad behavior.
Get an old pc and a big enough drive.
After hours:
Unplug the workstation from the network.
Load Linux and samba on the old pc.
Put all of the son's data on the old pc.
Rename the pc to the workstation name, plug it into the net, and share out the drive.
Stuff the pc under a desk somewhere.
Rename the workstation.
Plug workstation back into the network with its new name and continue working.
It seems dramatically cutting antibiotic use promotes the growth treatable bacteria over non-treatable bacteria in human environments.
