It would't hurt to take CS as a major and business as a minor. Never know when you will find yourself in a startup and taking on a management role.
Management isn't a skill that can be formally learned; it is a mix of experience and the soft skills/persona of the manager, without both of the latter 2 you will end up with a rigid, incompetent manager.
Personally, I believe that the issue is the USA's tax rates are too high on these companies so they are being encouraged to do business overseas instead of in their home country to shelter themselves from the tax rates in the USA.
Do you honestly believe if the USA's tax rates would be lower that they would pay US taxes? They do what they do because they can, plain and simple.
Getting loaded is considered bad form and makes you a boring conversationalist, even if YOU think you're brilliant.
It entirely depends on the company, and "loaded" is completely relative to the "loadedness" of the observer. I'm my experience, its not necessarily the alcohol, but the person, that makes one a boring conversationalist. Also people who get "loaded" usually have hilarious stories that wouldn't happen/be told if they weren't under the influence of alcohol, IMO, YMMV
And after the third or fourth applicant from that college is found to be an incompetent fuckwit, HR will stop looking at any applications from that institution. Pretty soon, word will get out and a degree from there won't be worth squat. And nobody will enroll in their CS program anymore.
You misspelled 'interfere' TWICE in TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAYS!!! Are you fucking retarded? Jesus, end my life. I can't live in a world filled with such morons. FUCK!
And you are an Anonymous Coward, i'll take the bad speller any day over pedantic people like you.
This sounds like one of those bullshit psychometric job interview tests. Its funny how society offloads the burden of reasoning onto popcorn science (psychometric job interview tests and this app for example) but ignores more rigorous science like what is happening to our planet (not perfect, and somewhat still subjective, but the majority of non-shill scientists agree). We are doomed as a species, maybe not in our lifetime but somewhere down the line for sure.
Let's be honest, the world runs on Windows and Office. Linux simply isn't capable of meeting the needs of most users.
Maybe not at the moment, but when Linux gains more traction (and it probably will eventually, more games than ever are being developed to be Linux compatible, to give one use case example) there will be more reason to develop those "must have" features. Remember, programmers are giving up their precious time to open source; there has to be an incentive for giving up that time, increased adoption is definitely an incentive IMO.
Your manager many be busy and just doesn't have the time? Maybe the manager is hands off and trusts you to fill your own voids? (very possible if you are a knowledge worker) Just because they are your boss doesn't mean you have to reduce everything that could be possibly interpreted as something negative to be just that (although in a lot of situations you would be right in doing so). If you care to check, you will find that the world doesn't revolve around you and that managers are people at the end of the day, they are not omniscient. On the other end of the scale, constant feedback can be a symptom of micro managing...be careful what you wish for.
If you're not going to put in the effort to raise a child properly, then do the world a favor and don't fucking have them.
I agree with this fully, but there is one problem, a lot of people have different opinions on the best way of raising children, and no child will be compatible with every situation life throws at him/her, its just not possible outside of fiction.
You think recruiters are the only problem? Wait till you start getting the looks in interviews. The glance at the graying thinning hair and f course, you can't hide age.
Then the email, "sorry, but you don't have the skills." Regardless of your actual skills.
But you are absolutely right. There so much out there on us even without Facebook, after about 50 years of age, no one even bothers responding and you find your career over.
In an ideal situation, if your age is an issue over your skill and experience, then you probably shouldn't work there even if you are offered the job.
Why would I wan't employers being able to see my Facebook profile (something that shouldn't be seen as more than entertainment and/or keeping in contact with people) over my LinkedIn profile (something that should be taken seriously)
Anyone who lands a job through Facebook only to have their profile bite them in the ass deserves what they get; its not just what you put on your profile, but also what your Facebook friends do and say with theirs...
Remember this is slashdot, i'm all about logic and reason until:
1) my meds aren't working
2) i've ran out of mountain dew and cheetos
3) someone uses "an order of magnitiude" in an arbitrary way
4) mom is thinking of renting the basement (where will i go!?)
5) someone thinks java is better than c for embedded systems
6) someone criticizes Elon Musk, bitcoin, Linux or renewable energy
7) someone criticizes my use of english, despite myself being a grammar Nazi, even though i only know how to use one language fluently and forget to capitalize
I know, I know, I need to use the tags to make numbered list or bullets.
You should be modded down for such a transgression; not only do you acknowledge that someone beat you to the phrase but you repeated it, this isn't reddit dude...THIS! IS! SLASHDOT!
Otherwise my girlfriend will get very, very angry, and I'm going to be the one who has to 'fix' the streaming for her *again*...
That's pretty condescending towards your girlfriend, oh wise wizard of all things computer. If finding a new stream is simply a matter of a 'fix' to you (*again* suggests you have done this at least once before) then you are also a drama queen. Sheesh.

Careful...Don't say that in public, or else you'll be quietly dragged away by Europe's Politically Correct Gestapo.
Taking it a bit too far with the Nazi reference? EU may not be perfect but its one of the reasons WHY we don't have a repeat of the Nazi regime
MOST all stereotypes are based somewhat in observable fact....
Correction, stereotypes are/were based somewhat on observable fact AT SOME POINT IN TIME
Headline says he quit, summary says "they made a change" which is it?
Steve Ballmer tried his best to destroy Microsoft, but it was too big to fail.
If he was made CHAIRman he definitely would have succeeded!
drinking and sex are usually correlated.

That's why colleges worry about stuff like this.
Good point, didn't think of that
So what if they cheat; if they ever apply for a coding job they'll get caught out in the technical interview, moving on...

Sometimes it's a sign of having a realistic outlook on things and not sugar coating them, too.
Just fuck off
Unless there is a pretty good reason to still use a HDD, why not just get an SSD? Would take up less space than a HDD and one of these things.

It seems like personal assistants are nothing more than intrusive nag machines that want access to every aspect of my life.
You mean like a wife or girlfriend?
Not every wife or girlfriend, ones like that are called bitches.
I was jesting hence the :), c'mon, is banter not allowed? I seriously find Bill's comments very interesting.
Posting to undo mod, got it mixed up with the parent, sorry
