I wouldn't directly correlate this issue to your employee status, but major restructuring will occur meaning, re-evaluation of headcount in various divisions to eliminate bulk. For now, just hold your breath and see how things go (it might be a good idea to plan for the unexpected). You may also want to find out how crucial your sector is to the company. It might be a starting point for how vulnerable you may be to this fiasco.
i think dialup service should be the bare minimum the school should provide to it's students. all the student needs is a modem and a phone line connection.
for broadband, students should get their butts to campus grounds to use the schools ethernet jacks or WiFi connections.
'Most' does not equate to 'All'

CS vs CIS

Here's some word of advice, some might be true, but definitely not all.
Majors are all different from school to school, and with all the confusion with CS, CIS, MIS, CSE, etc etc... it really doesn't mean anything unless you know what courses you will be taking.
Personally, as a CS major I've had my share of fun during school. I've taken so many 'fun' classes, but all of them came toward my junior and senior years of my term in college.
If I were you, I'd check out what programs your school offers and see what options hold for you (such as what electives you can take). Some schools even restrict courses to students within the major, so that is another thing you should look at.
In terms of landing that 6 figure job really depends on what you know and how much luck you have and people you know (no BS here). okay okay.. maybe not the first one... i've seen my share of people who are inadequate for certain jobs...
IMHO, CS is not ALL math, but eventually it does become pretty abstract. Math is a fundamental if you intend on pursuing a career as a Computer 'Scientist' not a Programming Junkie. You don't need education to be a programmer, you just need patience and alot of time to read OReilly books and a PC.
So, I'd look into what your school offers for you... and decide what you'd like to do.
CIEE has a work abroad program. You generally acquire language easily if you're forced to learn it. I seriously doubt any major firm will hire a local citizen of the US without fluency to be sent to work abroad. Unless they plan on paying you very little. Just my two cents.

Deignan says the company is considering producing an 80-ounce cold drink cup
this sounds more like a want ad than 'news'.
