First thing to remember is that if you are coming out of school, employers will assume you do not have much experience with any single language unless you've had some sort of internship. They may hire you to work on completely different languages. What really helped me was Eric Raymond's Hacker HowTo, although if you are thinking you'd like to do web work, I'd really consider adding some JavaScript experience.
One problem that I've seen in Perl is that some Linux vendors have been making their own fixes, but never sent them upstream to the Perl core to be applied. Its bad when its a normal bug fix. When its a security fix, its unacceptable.
The patent reads so broadly that it could probably apply to email chess tournaments and ladders. Fortunately, the larger organizations have all been around since before 1998.
I wanted to check this out for myself, and it certainly seems to be working as described. Within 15 minutes of checking for NSIAREDICKHEADS.COM, I checked whois again.

The mouse on my iMac died rather quickly after purchase. I had the choice between the $40 replacement Apple mouse, or a $10 multi-button wheel mouse. I cannot say how much my productivity improved with the wheel mouse. The best part is that it has lasted for three years while my original mouse lasted for one. Yes, the funky mouse *looks* cool, but for $40 less, you can get a functional mouse that works. Stop drinking the kool-aid that Steve Jobs is passing out! Rather than design more cool things, can we get PowerBooks that are reliable instead?
There seems to be a big flaw in this study. In human genetics, the female has nothing to do with the sex of the child. Only the chromosomes carried in the sperm determine the sex of the child. So, are they saying that men that marry nurses or teachers are more likely to pass on "X" chromosomes. The results of this study seem to have all the scientific value of throwing darts at the Wall Street Journal to determine a portfolio of stocks to buy.
Just change the server response line if the GET or POST comes from Redmond, WA to say you are some version of IIS. I can already see the recommendations coming from the SEO folks.
DOJ, like many law firms, have been using WordPerfect for a very long time. In fact, most of the original rulings against Microsoft in 1999 were all written on WordPerfect. My guess is that the large number of templates for legal documents influenced this decision.
Back in my C64 days, I remember that most game companies allowed you to get a backup copy of the game you owned for a nominal fee. Due to copy protection, I thought that this offer was required since copyright laws allowed this. If this were still allowed, I'd have few problems with this. But since you can't backup your media products and you cannot get your one backup copy, what is a person supposed to do. In the end, the consumer is the one who is screwed, not the companies.
Mr. Graham's article discussed the Bayesian filter he was already using in the article. Several other spam filters, including SpamAssassin, added Bayesian processing shortly after the article was published. The patent holders would have a very hard time trying to go after those who had Bayesian rules processing prior to the patent being filed.
You know, maybe we could give them a call to express our displeasure.

I graduated about a year ago after completing my entire MBA online. I found that much like regular classes, there were good professors and bad professors. Having the opportunity to complete my degree online at the university where I got my undergraduate degree, I was able to see how both good and bad classroom professors handled themselves.
The main problem is that teaching online takes more effort than it takes for regular classes. If you have a bad instructor who can barely put in the effort to show up for their classes, they will do horribly online, possibly even worse than they will do in a classroom. Emails will go unanswered. Assignments will be posted and graded irregularly. There will be few online lectures, or they will be useless.
The professors that I knew to be good professors enjoyed the challange of teaching online. The professors that were good in the classroom were more organized, used the online technology better, and were more responsive. Overall, they were head and shoulders above the poor professors. They were so much better, in fact, that the only professor I thought of as being in the "gray area" was someone that was a good classroom instructor, but was assigned to teach online at the last minute with minimal training. However, even there, you could see the effort was there.
Overall, I thought the online experiences I had were rewarding and I learned a lot. I would suggest closely checking out a school before enrolling. Also, once you are in, make sure you ask about the good and bad professors that others have had so you can avoid the problem instructors.

Well, if they moved to Baja California or somewhere else sufficiently isolated, I guess these regulations wouldn't matter, huh?
