    Eh?

    Most likely they'll have many Anti-air systems around the elevator. Anything flying gets within 10 miles, and it shoots it down. Period.

    It will start warning you 20 miles out though.

    I thought CS focused on theory? Why would you need to know more than VB, C and Java when all you need is to confirm the theories and mathmatics you're working on?

    You can always pick up another language after you've got the theory down.

    The GRE's main use is to get rid of the people who want to stay in college forever.

    Raw data my ass. I need a JOB. The economy hasn't changed if people like me and my friends can't get a full time JOB.

    With that paycheck we'd be happy to help the economy out and buy things. For instance, my car won't make it to the end of the year. I need a new one.

    Ah.

    I can see it from a managers point of view though. Make a sci-fi show that requires almost no special effects, and it will be a lot more profitable that one with a lot of expensive special effects.
