I've had very bad luck with CS grads. Out of the last two I hired and had to fire, one is flipping burgers at a Rally's and the other returned to school to find a different career.
The best developer on my team barely got his GED. So my advice is to study something of interest that you can fall back on and continue programming/learning on the side as a hobby. If programming is your passion, your career will find you. If it is not your passion, you will have to find something else.
Plus remember with how fast our industry moving, the "technical" material you learn in college does not have a very long shelf-life. Study subjects that will benefit you in the long run while you have the opportunity.
This might boost that area and introduce a real rival to Google. In which case it really will increase competition. Why doesn't Microsoft use innovation to compete with Google rather than resorting to cannibalistic and hostile business tactics? That is how they would truly benefit the market and consumers.
Huh? "Illegal Torrents" BitTorrent is just a peer-to-peer file sharing communications protocol. The data it distributes *might* be copyright material, but how can BitTorrent be illegal?
I think the parent is making the point that just because something/someone might be used to facilitate the violation of IP law, shouldn't justify a lawsuit like this. Everyone knows that copy machines are used world-wide to copy protected material. Are we going to start throwing librarians in jail?
I think this lawsuit is silly and frivolous. The companies involved need to find a way to profit from these technologies like they did the VCR, not try to stop them.
Intel is just like any other company that has a responsibility to its shareholders. Now if only the shareholders cared about the kids and not their profits...
Hate to sound like Huey Lewis, but why don't they focus on developing a drug that gives you the high you want with none of the bad side effects/consequences?

When Ballmer talks... people *duck*.
You are a pretty sick puppy when fungus causes any type of "fit of ecstasy".
The Focus can do 80 off of a tall enough cliff.

"German prosecutors only pursue larger-scale file sharers. Bush attacks Paraguay."
"Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to settle."
By using your logic, then why does it only take the typical male Slashdotter, mmmm...about 4.5 seconds?
Think they went out of business at one time, but it looks like they are back.

Well hopefully third time is the charm and the grass fuckers in Hollywood will finally get it right. Not holding my breath.
C'mon, everyone knows that ALL planets and the entire universe is 5000 years old. Now go read you bible.
Did anyone else read that as "NASA to Demonstrate Moon River"?
I moved here from Canada and they think I'm slow, but I'm really an über-hacker, Eh?
Is it "The Best Presidential Candidate" or "The Presidential Candidate that has the Best Nomination Chance"?
The Best Presidential Candidate ~ Ron Paul
The Presidential Candidate that has the Best Nomination Chance ~ John McCain *sigh*

And Google does index copy protected material all the time. Should we close them down? Should I be fined for publishing that link? Where do you draw the line?

Right before you retire.
They look like the mailman?

C'mon, a unix admin even being offered "two chicks at the same time" is suspect. Him turning the offer down obviously makes this a fake.
I want to adopt one.
Like this one?
