Cloud as a service (give it data and a process and you get results) is one definition of cloud computing. The other is the architecture itself (large scale data management). In order to have cloud as a service, you need the architecture. And that's the biggest problem we have today. Designing a highly scalable architecture is not easy. And without this architecture (which is software based), some other company cannot just create their own cloud (which beats the security issues with cloud as a service). So once a good distributed software system (hadoop, open neptune, etc.) is 'perfected', this will be more possible.
And that should answer your question - the actual architecture itself for cloud computing, is the software which every machine in the cloud runs.
From my understanding, the first 6 months, you get 10 patents every week or biweek, unclear on that. Then after 6 months you start getting appeals back from rejected patents (6 months being the max time). And that point, the number of new patents expected is diminished. And of course all the paperwork needs extensive background research for prior art etc. etc.
And as for that, it's not my main choice, but it's better than no job.
As a graduating computer engineer, I've been interviewing around, and USPTO was one of the places. Here's what they shared with me- They are currently backlogged 5 years. With their hiring surge of engineers, they want to bring the backlog to 2 years within 4 years IIRC And apparently they crap money, with a starting salary of 63k with a 10k starting bonus for the first 4 years, plus a 10% bonus if a 130% efficiency rating is maintained for the 4 quarters. The ones they are particularly hiring are EEs, CSs, and Comp Engs.
I'm a senior CE student who's about to graduate this spring from a well known university. First, to bash C a bit- one reason java is superior to C/C++ is that there is a consistency in compilers. Not all work the same and that causes issues. That isn't to say that C is absolutely superior, it's just one of the strong points. But that's the real point I'm making. All languages have strengths/weaknesses. If you had to do some logic work, you could do it in C or Java or Pascal, but the logical choice would be a logical language like Prolog. Or if you needed a completely versatile language, you'd go with something that had a versatile typing system, like ML. I could go on and on, but I hope my point has been made. Anyone can learning how to program, it's not that difficult. But the ability to choose the most appropriate language for the job and do it most efficiently is what makes a software eng.
With that said, what it boils down to is what makes the best educational languages, as they should be used in school for most of the time. Like starting with Pascal (say what you will, but it is one of the best learning languages out there) to teach iterative programming. I haven't used OO Pascal, but I know of it's existance so that might be a good call for teaching OO techniques. However, for shell programming, C is a great language for it. But OO is the next gen of programming type, so it is critical to start teaching OO early on, because the more iterative work done makes it more difficult to grasp TRULY OO programming techniques.
Once the language type has been learned though, then you introduce other languages so they can choose best language for whatever situation.
The people are not sitting in front of a router illegally downloading files, nor a switch or hub. They're sitting (or standing or lying down) at a computer.
If someone on my schools network downloads an illegal mp3, then the RIAA has the right to confiscate and sell every single router, switch, and hub between the two people... clogging the tubes is bad enough, but taking them away and stealing them?
Although CDs have a wider dynamic range, mastering houses are often encouraged to compress the audio on CDs to make it as loud as possible: It's the so-called loudness war. Since the audio on vinyl can't be compressed to such extremes, records generally offer a more nuanced sound.
This is similarly irrelevant. Compression is a way of altering a sound wave, and has nothing to do with the final recording medium. Overcompression is a problem, but this is not an argument for vinyl over CD--it's just a comment on postprocessing techniques. I beg to differ. While I agree with the statement that it's a comment on postprocessing, it is a valid reason for superiority of vinyl over CDs. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way, shape, or form a vinyl fanboi, but vinyl is a medium which prevents postprocessing compression. And it's these record producers that are making the bulk of CDs, which are giving the entire medium a bad name.

The true death of Moore's law will occur when we mastered quantum transistors. Once we hit that level of technology, I highly doubt we can progress anymore. Or at least as the same pace.
Just imagin how much information would be available if the RealID act was in effect. This is precisely the reason I don't trust the government with my information: they can't keep it safe.
With companies driving to increase transistor density by decreasing process size, the speed we can accurately use these methods is slowing. With each decrease in process size, a lot of issues arise with power leakage. This is where multi-core processors come in. These are the future because of the speed cap of processors. And hopefully this will spur an improvement in microprocessor architecture.
There's not much you can typically do in the first 2 years, since those are mostly for fulling general requirements anyway. Just try to get all of them out of the way ASAP so you're last years can be spent not only on CS course requirements but also on you can load up on any CS electives that spike your interest, or are pre-reqs for CS courses that spike your interest. And like what some of the other posters said, a double major in math, or even just a minor will help because those courses will teach you analytical skills which will help you design more efficient algorithms for the programming world.
I've noticed it depends on the phone too. I had a motorola v505 and that would raise quite a ruckus. I now have a Sony Ericsson v800 and I've only heard a slight crackling once. I actually kinda miss the little heads up you get from the interference though.
Just build a custom case. Get some aluminum, cut and bend it, rivet it together, etc. etc. Or you can just take a regular case and don't put in the PSU. You can come up with your own custom solution, whether it be a molex coupler or some other idea.

Average CS starting is 51k, Comp Eng is 56k, actually.

You can't mod any post in a thread where you posted, so you can be linked to ONE AC in a thread, but it's impossible to tell which one.

Technically they're not destroying it, but electricity is (or the lack thereof). I say they should sue Zeus.

Well the 64 bit processors have a larger L2 cache, which does cause an improvement for 32bit applications.
