The techies should skip college. They can get 4 years of industry experience. With those four years should net something around 70k+. When you factor in things like a decent 401k compounded over those 4 years how can you go wrong.
However that initial edge will only hold for so long, look at what html and xml were like 4 years ago. 4 years ago Java was a POS (IMO).
But when the college grads have 4 years, and the non-grads have 8! The non-grads are also moving into management positions. Oh, wait, management positions usually require degree of some sort, and MBA's are highly desireable.
Of course there are companies who don't care about degrees, and techies who want to not be managers.
Then again I know a couple of non-grads who have a hell of a time finding work, inspite of ability. One has who knows how many years of UNIX, the other had 4-8 years of IT experience.
Funny neither of my them have a 401k. Coincidence?

But please people, lighten up and let us have our fun. If I want to spend ~$100 on an SDK for a dead platform It's my money. I don't need/want people to tell me that the platform is dead.

Because at the rate Intel is going, it will expire before working chipw actually hits the market
BTW, How long have SGI and Sun been using 64bit Risc?
WotC is owned by Hasbro

I just noticed that you didn't list any D&D realted deaths since 1988, those are pretty good odds by any standards.
Since your really good with numbers, how many nerds have been killed in the bast 30 years by bullying?
How many people are killed each year in the name of God?
Saying D&D has anything to do with magic is like saying saying Monopoly has is like running a business.
Actually Monopoly is probably closer to reality.
Customers and potential customers have a need to know what company technical support and refund policies are.
@home has no business telling customers and potential customers that policies relating directly to them are IP, and thus propriatary information.
