This is a great idea. But it will probably take a bunch of talented people to volunteer their time to the local school to implement it. Nice side effect though, get people involved into their school, showing they have a personal stake. Hope it sells (metaphorically speaking of course:)
BTW, where can you buy a diskless workstation with an lcd display? Kind of like an iopener, except you don't have to sign a contract for its isp service or pay $400 for one on ebay. Thanks,

CS vs CIS

· Score: 1
Either way you go, your resume just gets your foot in the door. Its then up to you to show this person what you know and how you will be a valuable asset to them within time. Either degree will have the same power or effect of getting you in the door. I'm taking CS at SUNY Albany, New York. I have been very dissappointed at the program there. I'm not learning anything practical and some classes have no direction or focus (such as one class called Principles of Programming Languages, where we use Prolog and Lisp). Why bother spening 4 monthes learning about a language that won't get you a job. If we're supposed to understand some theories (which we didn't), why not stick to C which people already know (I know, stupid, that's logical...). I am glad that I have an internship at a network integration company where I've learned invaluable real world skills and have found a direction to focus on in my own time. IMHO, that's very important. Find something you enjoy, find exciting, and that isn't vaporwear and study that on your own time. School alone will never prepare you for finding opportunity in IT industry. Hope that helps.

You make no sense. You say the military has not done anything in our personal interestes (so you must be american), there not supposed to do anything but defend our country and to ensure our freedoms. Then you bitch about threats to american society, now your not an american, or else you should be glad they're protecting our "american society". Then you get into a rant about the fbi and waco, the fbi is not controlled by the pentagon and waco was a disaster by that stupid unqualified attourney general who's out in a couple of months. Lay off the LSD.
