Firstly, I do not find the articles reasoning sound, nor do I like the examples the author uses.
I have always thought that being able to commit a crime is not enough to secure a conviction. It's one of the reasons I find the Napster/DeCSS cases so deceitful.

The old saying about Unversity of life is the one you go to when your grades aren't good enough for anything else:-)
Seriously, hated school and everything to do with organised learning. Have worked for the last 15 years as a software engineer, and I'm only 31. Worked my way around Europe and am currently in California, see H1B article of today:-)

In short, do what the hell you want as you ain't going to live forever.

You should study what fascinates you, not what's going to pay the most when you leave college, uh I mean university.
It's no wonder there's so many ignorant college grads walking around, I can see the t-shirt now 'I want to college and all I got was this lousy job'

What requires nothing to create?
