Well, I don't speak for every American, just for me. What choice do I have except to have confidence in my own abilities?
As for video games, arguably the best three games on the major consoles were all developed in North America. Metroid Prime was developed in Texas, Splinter Cell in Montreal, Canada, and Grand Theft Auto also in the United States (I think).
I don't graduate until 2005, so maybe I can ride out the job shortage.
But this news doesn't mean that all you pre-meds should go and change to CS. As the article notes, health care is going to grow even faster. My mom's a nurse, and she's never been more secure in her job.
I completely agree. When it comes to tech jobs, there's a fine line between the employed and the unemployed. There is no doubt that this guy is happy that those guys got laid off, and not him. And I don't think it's the kind of relief that a guy in the trenches feels when the guy next to him gets shot. I bet it's more like, "these 2 guys got laid off, and I didn't, so I must be better then they are." Yet another example of the most annoying thing about tech-sector employies: arrogance.
Yeah, flipping burgers is a kid's job, but those kids aren't taking any jobs away from professional chefs. There will always be tech jobs available for the people who are the best educated and the most productive.
Imagine the reverse: If you're running a unix/Linux server, and you disguised to look like a windows server, then it would be harder to crack because the cracker would use the wrong techniques. It doesn't really matter that unix/linux is perceived as more secure.

I feel your pain. Better yet, maybe we should just drop a bunch of nuclear bombs and go back to hunting and gathering.

Because Americans don't care and the Germans are too busy protesting action in Iraq to post.
Nice Sig. I am superman.
