  1. College was wothless in job hunt. on Joel Gives College Advice For Programmers · · Score: 1

    I graduated cum laude in May with fair amount of activity crap.

    When I interviewed for my job nothing was asked about my education. Zilch. I could have put down any degree from any school I wanted and they wouldn't have cared.

    All they were interested in was my work experience, and that I had a degree.

    I'm not saying college had no point, I loved it and learned a lot. But if you just want a job, you may just want to lie and put down a bogus degree. What are they going to do? Beat you up if they find out?

    There just wasn't any demand for another slow low power x86 clone. The "code morphing" was nearly useless and failed to deliver what was originaly promised.

    Hitachi GST sues Chinese disk drive maker

    Hitachi GST sues Chinese disk drive maker
    HONG KONG, Dec 29 (Reuters) - The hard disk drive manufacturing joint venture between Hitachi Ltd. and IBM said on Wednesday it has sued Chinese firm Magicstor Inc., saying it had made multiple patent infringements.

    In the suit filed in United States District Court, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies seeks monetary damages and a permanent injunction barring Magicstor from making and selling the allegedly infringing products.

    A spokeswoman at Magicstor, located in the interior Chinese city of Guiyang, had no immediate comment.

    The suit names Magicstor, its Chinese parent company, GS Magic Inc. and California-based Riospring Inc., according to a statement released by Hitachi GST.

    According to its Web site, GS Magicstor is a hard disk drive maker that was founded in 2002 "as the first small form factor manufacturer with its own intellectual property rights."

    The filing of patent infringement lawsuits in the United States against Chinese firms has become a relatively common strategy by plaintiffs wary of using China's fledgling patent protection system.

    Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC) the world's biggest contract maker of semiconductor chips, is using the tactic in its lawsuit against Shanghai-based rival Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) .

    Last year, Cisco Systems , the world's biggest maker of routers and switches used in telecoms networks, also used a U.S.-based lawsuit when it accused Huawei Technologies, China's largest telecoms equipment maker, of copyright infringement.
