Do yourself a favor, and stick to the theoretical subjects. Your university years are about getting an education, not about getting a job.
And yes, you will still get a darn fine job with a proper education.
I did a perfectly useless CS PhD, and got a perfectly nice job in industry nonetheless. My friends who took the "vocational route" back in univeristy are on average certainly not doing better, not financially, and not in terms of having an exciting job.
Neither a bug nor a warning: many GSM phones show a cute little icon when the phone is unable to negotiate crypto during sign-on to the network.
The exclamation point, for example, is used by Siemens firmware. I saw it a lot on freshly started networks (e.g. Ben-NL), that apparently didn't have there config straigthened out yet. Lately, I don't see it anywhere anymore (but then I've never been to Russia either!).
So: it's a side effect, nothing more. I'm sure the Ruskies would avoid it if they could.
