I was thinking the story would be about FBI agents removing a wall and using a crane to lift a 700lb (317.5kg) hacker from a room he hadn't left in 5 years.
I fully agree with Rick's comments about spin. Overall GPA is less important than good marks in classes related to the job you are applying for.
If your worried about being passed over for interviews because of your GPA, don't put it on your resume. Instead, try to emphasize applicable skills/coursework/experience. Do the same thing in your interviews. Try talking about your favorite project rather than explaining why you failed calculus three times. If you can demonstrate that you know your stuff, you will get hired.
How about this, Sun should just make a TV spot that consists of 10 to 20 seconds of a BSoD and then pay the networks to run it immediatly following any Microsoft ad.
