It does matter where you go to school to study Computer Science. The more important reason is the oppurtunity learn more at another University. From what I have seen, there is a wide range in the quality of CS programs. You may not know if you are learning as much as you could just because of a lack of comparison. On the other hand, your school might have a good program.
To find out, I suggest talking with students at universities you're considering about specific classes. You should ask questions like, ``How are your architecture classes?'' or ``what do you cover in algorithms?''. See if you would be able to do one-on-one research/study with a professor. Compare the answers to what you find yourself and what upperclassmen say at your school. If it sounds like there's a large discrepancy, then you should get cracking on that transfer paperwork.
The lesser reason (but still important) is the availability of recruiters on campus and a campus career center. I've interviewed at companies that only recruit from a specific schools. One of these companies even has a map where you can see the schools where they recruit. Also, I've had oppurtunities through the University career center, where you post your resume online interview on campus. If this is not available at your school, it would be another important reason to transfer.
The most important thing for your first job is that you can maintain competitive grades. If you would get average or below grades at a top-notch university, then you're better off where you are. If you are considering graduate school, grades might be even more important.
If the deadline is coming up, I say go ahead and apply now and then you can make your decisions later.
While there's certainly arrogance in the tech industry, you don't make yourself any more humble by making blanket statements calling the entire tech industry fraudulent, especially without any data to back it up. Just because a specific segment of wifi products is not 100% secure out of the box, doesn't mean that engineers are 'snake oil charlatans'.
This complaint comes up a lot whenever a new device is reported.
But this is slashdot; it's inevitable that new devices will come out and be posted on the front page even before there are comprehensive reviews. It is after all, news for nerds.
After all, you can always filter this section out.
Interesting. Either way, I wouldn't advocate striping on a laptop for reliability reasons anyway. I think mirroring has some notable advantages in a notebook, though.
I don't believe there's any reason to assume that using RAID would push the individual drives any harder than a single disk would be. I think this could be a good thing, especially for mobile desktop users. With RAID in a laptop, there would most likely be at most two disks due to space concerns. This would limit you to RAID 0 or 1. Consider RAID 0/striping: any reading or writing to the drive is split accross both drives, so in theory they should be doing half the work. However if one disk does fail, you're screwed, which is why this isn't a good option for a laptop (technically not even really RAID) Now consider RAID 1/mirroring. Each drive does the same amount of work as one individual drive would. There may be some additional overhead, but the added reliability is well worth it. If one drive fails, which is more likely to happen in a notebook, the problematic hard drive can be replaced without data loss.
What annoyed me at the beginning was what a typical antagonist Sephroth was, unexplainably motivated by evil. Thankfully, there was explanation for his motives (his family being killed by phantoms). This, along with other lines / scenes show that he isn't just a villian, but is also trying to solve the same problem that Aki is. Remember when he exclaims, "What have I done?". He is almost driven to suicide, but returns for one last effort against the phantoms. The only difference is that Sephiroth is wrong in his solution & favors a 'practical' solution over a 'natural' one. He is only evil if you consider the phantoms to be evil as well.
On the other hand, Kefka is one of my favorite (or least favorite) villians. I acually did hate Kefka, but that might be because I blame him for corrupting my zsnes FF6 save game along with the rest of the data on my hard drive when it crashed.

haha, x10 spam when opening this story
Not really, considering that the dreamcast has been out much longer, and that the PS2 (so far) requires a mod-chip to run any non-licensed software.
