Just a funny thought, but I wonder if Siemens corporate has noticed a dip in sales from Siemens Hearing and is attempting to boost sales in the hearing aid sector.
I would be willing to bet just about anything that IF Bluetooth had come first and 802.11/WiFi second, he would be asking, "So, IEEE, why the heck can't you design a modulation scheme that is not so open to gratuitous interference from remote devices? I mean, common, the Bluetooth guys solved this problem!"
I have to read more closely. I thought it said something about printing orgasms. sadly that wasn't the subject matter of the article.

store employees should just make sure kids don't plug hard drives into computers.
You used the keyword plug here. Wait until all the computers/pda's/iPods (whatever) all have Bluetooth in them. Then, all he would have had to do is set up the file transfers and wander away...just being careful to stay within radio range (just over 10 meters). He never would have been caught then.
...in Season 3, Episode #51, "The Survivors", an alien is discovered there who claims to have destroyed an entire race. Simply wiped them from existance with one thought.
I think that beats the rather insignifant magnitude of deaths caused by the destruction of one lonely little planet and a moon-sized battle station.
Please don't moderate this up...I'm quite embarassed that I knew this...
I am going to have to agree with the majority of the other posts on this topic. You should really make the most of the opportunity. At least you are not flipping burgers, which by the way, is really fantastic job that makes you realize WHY COLLEGE IS SO DAMN IMPORTANT!
In all seriousness, follow the suggestions above. Talk to the engineers, read manuals, look for extra projects. You are a Co-op. You are cheap labor. You exist to free up the time of the engineering staff. You should expect being a grunt to be about 80 to 90% of your job.
However, generally CO-OP programs set up between companies and schools are very well though out. In fact I have set up CO-OP programs for two other companies with my former college (Purdue). It is a very rigorous process. Purdue required that a company apply to the CO-OP program and must provide a schedule for growth of the students. It is assumed that the student will spend many semesters at the company and with each co-op term the student should have learned more in classes. So, we had to show how we planned to use and build upon that students knowledge.
Perhaps you should ask your school what they required from companies participating in the program. If the school has no such program, have them contact the Purdue CO-OP office...or just download the application form and use it!
Then again, if you're not happy with what you are doing, then ask your supervisor for some other challenging work...just make sure you've proven your abilities in any other task you were asked to do.

EE Times should mod his article down as flambait.
