This is tangential, and probably offtopic too, and who reads comment #200-and-something anyway?
Just a thought that hit me: what about the philosophical views if CS? I think there are two big camps of CS (boy, are we over-generalisising today) : Those that think that CS is math (von Neumann and 99% of all CS profs:)

Well yes, in the future there will be lots of jobs just in the maintenance of web/net/server-space (just like any automated job you can think of now) When enough people of a nation has gotten enough free time/money to discuss what is on their mind, we will not only see a revolution in information, but also in democracy...(although this could include only those who can afford to spend time discussing problems of their nation)
Well, is snail-mail a fad? Are telephones a fad? Is the written word ( by pens and pencils) a fad? I surely think they have come to stay...

That does not make the Internet a fad (It has afterall been popular in the mass media for the last 8 years, and been a fact for the last 30..) Now the question is: What will be the next Big Thing(tm)?

There's just no market for a very expensive, very slow, incompatible CPU.
Hmm. Wonder why?
What about closing that italic tag on the frontpage?
You can now write device drivers in perl.
Well that sent me screaming and running..
This is the reason I endure weeks of half-way interesting /.-articles; to read comments like this.
I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks!
You've been tricked by a Third Wave attacker.

"Reckless Kelly" is a classic, all right.
It would have been obfuscated.
Oh wait...
This just confirms(paraphrased): "Those who don't understand unix are doomed to reinvent it, poorly" This is just hilarious.
