I saw X-Type a few days ago the rear end reminded me of a Ford Contour. Then there was the XK8 from around 2001-2002 where the dash and steering wheel looked like it came out of a Tarus, except they were nice wood.
I'm a last year IT student and I'm wondering, how much should I jump ship?
You should focus on finding your first job first.
Second you should focus on doing something you want to do.
Third, forget the recruiters, many of them get paid on comission, its in their best interest for people to job hop.
If you find a job doing what you want to do, do it; don't swith just because your 3 years are up. But remember in 5 years the IT world will change again so keep aware of things and you need to keep track of that. Also be aware of oportunities, you never know when they will arise, it may be a year, it may be 5 years, or you may have to create one; but keep an open mind.
He should have gone after Microsoft, a company that has already been convicted under Sherman Anit-Trust. Even then he should have gone after them AFTER trying to market a viable product.

They gave writings of the Prophet Azathoth more weight than than physics; Relativity and QM were only theories, while The Prophet's "Laws of Robotics" were Laws.
Okay... lets compare the number of government endorsed stonings over the past 50 years?
Personally I the Christianity is full of it any way.
In the Old Testament stoning is an acceptable punishment. In the New Testament it isnt. Should we forgive Usama, if he changes his mind and says that blowing up the WTC is bad? Then why should be accept an evil religion that advocated beating people to death with rocks? If the diety wants someone stoned for a crime, let him or her do their own dirty work, just like they did to the first born in Egypt.
Islam right now is about the same relative age of Christianity during the Dark Ages.
This is completely wrong. Islam as we know it today was finalized around 500 AD, that's 1500 years ago. The Dark Ages were around 400 to 800 AD, Making Christianity only about 400-800 years old.
They have no excuse for continuing barbaric punishments like stoning.
How exactly would Linus put functionality into Apache/PHP/Your Web App, or whatever, that would create such an obligation to put a link for kernel source code on your web page?
That is part of the problem. Linus, could if he wanted under the GPL 3, expose a function to the end user to download the kernel source code, as part of the API, which under this clause must be exposed to the end user and like it or not, if I'm viewing web pages hosted on your Linux system I'm a user of that system.
Because this function must be exposed to the end user, the service provider, that the developer who is writing the web application can either expose that service through apache, or some other user accessable feature.
So some GPL blog software wants to ensure that his link stays on every web-page, that in itself is not big deal, unless you're trying to achieve a specific look and feel, and are maybe integrating that piece of software in a much larger project. But the clause is vague, in that there are many users for a piece of software, and that GPL software may be behind multiple layers.
d) They may require that the work contain functioning facilities that allow users to immediately obtain copies of its Complete Corresponding Source Code.
The point is GPL 3 does not help keep software free, instead it cripples the people who want to use it.
For example if Linus were to release Linux under GPL 3; with the source code clause. I put up a web server, I have to put a patch in web applications to allow the downloading of the Linux Source Code. Now imagine if I have a database that's GPL 3, an application server that's GPL 3, and an application framework that's GPL 3; and all have the code D/L option. I have to put links in all my stuff that will allow the downloading of the each source code bundle.
We believe that every user of a program has the right to adapt that program to their own needs. Nobody should be forced to adapt their method of working to suit the way that someone else believes that the job should be done that would constitute unfairly imposing one's will on another, which is a form of violence.
Access to the source code is highly desirable in the exercise of this right.
Forcing me to keep funtionality, ala source-code download, fails to preserve this right.
1) "Hot" fusion works, but a practical solution is always 20 years away. (However, they then go on to say that the current target date for a workable solution is 2050 -- 44 years from now.)
Hasn't there been noise that fusion is about 20 away for the past 20 years?
2) "Cold" fusion is not quite dead yet. A small group of researchers claims fusion is taking place with a mechanism requiring "new physics", but the vast majority of physicists don't take them seriously.
Now, hang on a minute... what the fuck does the kernel have to do with application heap management? I thought that was part of the user-space runtime -- the C++ libraries, or whathaveyou. Are they talking about the kernel memory allocator or something (the "Object Manager" in NT parlance)? Have they added a slab allocator to NT? So much for the elegant architecture of NT!
Where do the user-space runtimes get their memory? They request it from the kernel.
MonopolySoft is not violating the GPL. They are not preventing you from building the software, they are not preventing you from distributing the software. They are restricting which software you are allowed to run on the machine, which is etirely different.
In short you're SOL, and should have not purchased that box.
RMS is subverting the spirit of his own GPL, by not just placing restrictions on distribution, but restrictions on usage and modification of GPL software.

Never put anything in writing that you wouldn't want somebody else's lawyer holding up in court.

I had to check twice to make sure that the article wasn't written by Dvorak or Metcalf.
I guess Donofrio's been reading those two, becuase if he things the next "big thing" is more about:
He needs to be talking to Steve Jobs about the success of the iPod.

Lets look at some of the high dollar movies:

That is NOT freedom to adapt.

And none of this BS was from the man in charge.
Does this actually have anything to do with the article? No
The Article says that violating the GPL may be a SOX violation, but no more so than any other EULA.I've seen a lot of complaints about Zonk; SM is worse.
Only a Republican can do this:
All that aside, much of the attitude is summed up as: "We protect Democracy, we don't practice it."
Bush increased the NASA budget AFTER people got killed. Before that is was not one more dime.
Hasn't there been noise that fusion is about 20 away for the past 20 years?
And some people still believe in Autodynamics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodynamics ; It doesn't mean that its not crank science http://crank.net/ .
Talk is cheap; if they didn't pay you for your time they weren't really sorry.
Just like how the laws go changed to allow the sale of US missile technology to the Chinese?
Where do the user-space runtimes get their memory? They request it from the kernel.
This is not an attack.
