Another good site that I found useful for daily bargains are www.hotdealsclub.com and SlickDeals.net, the former one being more useful and frequently updated than the latter. I got my HP digital camera and Dell laptop with the help of HotDealsClub in the few days that Dell had supersales on its site.
From my own experience I would say that having a certain degree just gets you in the door, but what's considered after that is the skill level and your ability to learn new things.
Are the courses left adding to your skill level? Would you know something that you didn't know before? If your professional value increases, I would say take them.
With all said above, another argument for getting a second degree would be the possibility of applying for all those jobs that have a required major, sometimes the employers won't even evaluate your resume if it says "B.S. in Math required" and all you have is CS degree that you know is almost equivalent to Math degree.

It's not hard to rank high on Google

From the experience I can say that small Webmasters do not have any problem getting a high rank on Google if the content of the page is relevant and there are some links posted to the site.
My highest trafficked pages on my personal site, C++ interview questions, and Java interview questions achieved a top 5 ranking for the terms above without me really trying. Actually, the only way I found out about high rankings on Google is when my tracking system showed up 200 hits coming from google.com.
If a site can achieve reasonably high rankings with absolutely no effort, I don't really see Google being tyrannical or discriminatory in any way.

What is your opinion of.NET in general and Perl's role in it? Given that.NET supports Perl as one of the languages would you recommend actually using it for any projects? Do you see good future for this tandem?
It has tons of "legitimate" advertising including audio devices, Visa cards, etc.
Actually if the site owners are indeed located in China, the business might be legitimate.
In Russia, for example, you can create your own musical server, just like the mentioned site provided you pay the nominal compulsory licensing fees enforced by Russian copyright laws. The term compulsory also implies that a label is forced to grant a license to whoever asks for it, provided that they pay the fee for every song that has been downloaded. Check Zvuki.ru (site is in Russian) for an example of such a site, it has legit MP3's and pays labels. More about compulsory licensing scheme (which was invented in the US, by the way) can be found in Lessig's "Future of Ideas".
Yep, in addition to what's been said above, here's full scoop from the original paper.
PLEASE NOTE: Some virus scanners are alerting people to the presence of a "Win32/Beavuh" virus within the sploit.bin file in the Shatter zipfile. This is not a virus. The scanner is correct in flagging it - the code in this file is designed to open a command shell and bind it to a network socket. This is a bad thing to do in general, so the scanner is correct in generating an alert. This code is designed to be malicious in terms of its functionality, but the scanner is incorrect when labelling it as a virus.
I think overpeer.com would be a fair bet, only why would a company with such a low profile niche business care to build a Web site?
It had been noted on Slashdot before that using whatever technological means to prevent file sharing is fair game. Overpeer is posting looped versions of newer albums, and thus the old argument about people sharing indie songs or old music is not valid here, since that group remains largely unaffected.
It will be interesting to see what technological counter-measures the community as a whole would be able to come up with.
At the time of submitting it to Slashdot the number on BBC site had a dot in it, since I contemplated spending a buck myself. Of course with 75 pound upfront fee things start looking different.
Well, here's my 2 cents on Russian documents. I installed OpenOffice under XP, and had a Word document typed up in Cyrillic, but under 2000. So while in XP I open up the document in OpenOffice, opens okay, I type two more pages, to make a total of ten, and then save it back to MS Word format since that's the way my editors want it.
Reboot into 2000, get my MS Word with Russian spellchecker, open up and... You guessed it, 10 pages of nothing but ????? for Cyrillic characters with occasional English words interweaved (the text was a software review, so it had lots of English words and names).
No one mentions the word OpenOffice in my house again.

As usually, the article comes to the conclusion that it's mostly lack of applications that hampers Linux, more than anything else.
