Better hope you don't send out a bad packet else you might kill someone...
Actually, I think that would kind of be bad, somebody could mess with your internet connection from outside of your house, shine their own lasers at it, etc. Open a whole new avenue of hacking. You could also probably read the laser stream somehow..someday anyhow, I don't think it would be very secure..well...not like anything else is anyhow. -----
Currently I am a Computer Engineering major at University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. What computer Engineering is here, is a mixture of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The basic coursework (meaning math, physics, gen eds.) are all the same. Computer Engineering's coursework is about 40% Computer Science and about 60% Electrical Engineering. So you still take programming classes and such, but have the "hardware" aspect with it.
Anyhow, anybody not wanting to sit in a desk all day and program, I would recomend getting a Computer Engineering Degree. Also, if you were thinking of EE at all, but want to do something with computers, go Computer Engineering. You still have a lot of the programming background, but also a lot of design/hardware background. -----

When you install Acrobat 4.0 it adds a "fake" printer...you can take and print any document to it, and it converts it to pdf...
