I think this is a very valid point that perhaps employers will not consider it of supreme importance. However, regardless of what a potential company thinks, experience is experience. And if you get in the door, you'll be able to show off alot more, if in your spare time you coded part of mozilla's rendering engine versus, playing BattleNet
Its unfortunate that, the CS community can only come up with a 25k prize for our highest honor.
Two individuals fundamentally alter code development and freely offer up there services to whatever individuals desire it.
I think it would be be a worthwhile cause to bump this prize up considerable with the net effect of having more smart people be rewarded for giving their research away to the community at large.
What is the hope with this? Scientists seem to be on the quest for the smallest possible things. If it were merely for the academic quest of finding smaller stuff I'd be all for it. However, it seems to me that in their search for particulars, they hope to understand the universal. It just seems like their heading in the wrong direction.
Do you think this is just the beginning of several steps HP may start making? Perhaps HP finally realized intel has strongarmed the procedures and processes of the IA64 architecture that HP's finally going to just let Intel run the whole show, rather than vainly try to pretend its theirs and Intel is really just helping them.

My friends, it is so simple. As these ISP's love to get your credit card and "auto-bill" you... Just use that truth to your advantage.
Simple call up your credit card and say it has been lost. And that you'd like a new card rushed right out so you can keep spending money on it.
You'll have a new number, and some of the companies will even overnight you the card.
They want to put the charges on the card so be it!
