I think that the following words of wisdom applies here:
"I never let school get in the way of my education." - Mark Twain
It is the responsibility of the student themselves to actually learn the stuff and not just to pass the exams.
Yes, passing the exams and learning the stuff that you actually need to know when you're out there working are different things.
Passing the exams AND learning to do stuff is the optimal way to chose.
I can give numerous examples of people with a University degree in CS that has studied C++ programming for over 2 years and comes with questions like: "I have an instance of an object, but I don't remember how to access the member functions of that object, could you show me please?"
Those people asking the questions generally earns more money than the people answering them.
I guess it's the same as a driving license, just because you have one doesn't necessarily mean that you can actually drive a car properly.

Come to think of it, neither have we for a long time:)

The X-box is good at playing games, but the component video output doesn't even come close to the DVI output on my low-end DVD-player (150$).
That DVD player (Yamakawa) can play DivX, Audio CD's and mp3's as well. Also, the X-box sounds alot when you have it up and running with it fans and all.
Sure, the X-box has more features and works great, but only on low-end hardware, and you need to make sure the humming sound from the fans doesn't hurt your ears...
Congratulations to not only a great author, but also a great person.

Keep up the good work with your journal Mr Gaiman, in these dire times of terror attacks and economic instability, your journal gives us poor lost souls an interesting and inspiring reading and above all, hope.
For those who hasn't done so already, please consider reading American Gods and the Sandman stories they are great:)
There's a huge gab between the school and the job market right now. Especially in subjects like mathematic.
I think the school has to inform it students on how the data they are about to process is going to help them getting the job they want.
I myself would have liked mathematics better if I knew that it would help me code those 3D games (this was before 3D games became popular), or writing spicy computer algorithms.

I'm actually wondering more about what's going on in the womens locker room myself.;)
My wearable hot baby is out of town you insensitive clod!
On another note, I carry around my Tungsten C, my iPod, my Z600 and sometimes even my Dell notebook.
I would love to have the same functionality "built into my clothes".
Btw, those Microvision Imagic Display Glasses (Picture 12) has been talked about since 8 years back (at least), nice to finally see a prototype. First time I heard about them, they were going to use laser. I wouldn't want to be a beta tester for that...

Yeah, I know I'm addicted, but who isn't?

"Wow, by your logic that sure is a LONG list of countries that need invading ASAP."
I bet George W. Bush's lists of countries to invade are longer than his!

Probably because they need to support the X-box as well?
Only on /. can tips like this be modded insightful...
Since when are slashdot readers considered to be cool except in the slashdot community?
I've always wondered what a drive by shooting is.
I guess it's the opposite to a drive by screening like this one?

The Big question is where is R'lyeh?
And don't give me: 47 degrees 9 minutes south, 126 degrees 43 minutes west,

Welcome back printf, how I have missed your syntax and your unchallanged ability for buffer overruns!
Elections and official positions are decided by the community itself. It's called a democratic process. ;)

Well, it will no longer be called X in short for most distributions. It's no longer actually Free, so 86?

Fortunatly, anyone can download OpenOffice and make their own judgement about it. I myself, prefer GNU Emacs :)
But who will own the brain patterns that you omitt and the game gathers, the gaming company?
At least I start my sentences with capital letters. ;)
