I've noticed that Circuit City is noticeably cheaper than Best Buy and have found cheap wifi cards, hard drives and even decent under-$10 CDs. Their salespeople are still salespeople, but they're not the clueless sharks/teens that Best Buy employs. I remember some Best Buy kid telling me how he wasn't working on commission.
It's nice to see Ohio not being a me-too state and go after these mega companies that screw over its residents. Next up : Wal-mart. (Although you can get a $299 Linux PC or $500 laptop there which is a good price if you're a laidoff LTV Steel worker).
I assure you, Mrs. Buttle, the Ministry is very scrupulous about following up and eradicating any error. If you have any complaints which you'd like to make, I'd be more than happy to send you the appropriate forms.
I can hardly wait for:

There's a big difference between straight up competition and economic exploitation of a second/third world country. While we live in a global economy, the US is a country whose citizens elect its politicians to represent the interests of voters, not just the few large companies that are able to lobby Congress for even more corporate welfare. The end result is, of course, that large companies will get larger, the government will take in less tax revenue from the middle class, and the government will be forced to pay more in unemployment benefits. It's a sort of vicious cycle hiccup that will produce a smaller, more dependent middle class.
Hopefully, the standard of living will increase in Asia, which is a win for Asian IT workers and Asia in general, and a win for domestic IT workers who might see more work sent their way.
You just have to be a member of the commonwealth, like Sir Run Run Shaw, producer of such quality chop socky movies such as Dirty Ho, Invincible Pole Fighter and Shaolin Master Killer.

The only real ground that you have to stand on would be that you were canned and your former employer didn't follow the company's HR policies. For example, if your company has a progressive discipline plan (e.g. 2 verbal warnings, written warning, termination), and you were simply terminated, you might be able to choose your own closure to this unfortunate situation. If your company provides employment-at-will, then they can pretty much can you because you rooted for the Yankees. If you're a member of a protect group (varies from state to state), you might be able to start an investigation of your employer in and around your termination and your old boss and HR dept would have to show that they didn't can you because of your age/race/gender/choice of OS.
Best bet: move on. Next best bet: check w/ a lawyer who specializes in employment law/HR.
If you apply to Stanford, you can room with Milo and Teddy. Later, you can get recruited by a big software company in the Pacific Northwest called NURV only to discover that they're killing programmers for their code
If you apply to Carnegie-Mellon, you can become a Wonder Boy(TM) and party with Katie Holmes and that Greed is Good guy.
Avoid Harvard on general principal.
Apply to Berkeley only if you like being called a weenie.
CWRU is ok but they now want to be called "Case" and you can't trust a school like that.
I knew this kid at Stanford who was rejected by every school but Stanford. So apply here if you're a gamblin' man.
I was very interested in physics when I was younger and I had thought that when I got to college I would major in physics. Yale is quite a rigorous university and I soon realized that I was not going to change the world with my aptitude in physics and that we would be no more enlightened because of my presence. It was on a whole different level from high school physics and although it was fascinating, I struggled with it more than the other kids.
I was initially attracted to MIT because they do have a lot of prestigious alumni and faculty (Bill Gates, Richard Stalin, etc).
I believe that both Gates and Stallman went to Harvard as undergrads. But many a famous CS brain has passed through the 'Tute.
One has to remember that CS as an undergrad major is relatively new at most universities and many schools have a mix of CS-like majors (computer engineering, computer information science, etc) under the auspices of the schools of engineering, arts, or business, each with its own set of requirements and objectives. Some schools require their majors to take theory classes (e.g. automata, formal language theory) while others require heavy software development classes. In other words, there doesn't seem to be much standardization at the undergrad level and its to one's advantage to shop around and talk to some alumni and current students.
At LSJU, we had regular instructors who were generally pretty good at pedagogy. The exercises weren't always "real world" but they were interesting. I had a couple classes with Really Big Name Profs and they were horrible.

I think it's more like a case of Bush implementing the Recession and SaberRattler interfaces while extending BigOil and SuckyTexasRangers. He's been throwing a lot of exceptions lately which Congress isn't handling very well.
A common misperception is that colleges exist to provide job training. While this might be true for majors such as nursing and architecture, it's not necessarily true for CS. A CS undergrad major might find himself or herself in the school of engineering, liberal arts or even business school, and each has a different set of requirements. The one thing that is important for any CS major is a good math background.
