Office apps maybe, but not Server software.
The [unix] sysadmins know better then to trust NT servers 100% to run the campus. Linux and BSD are big in the comp sci department (at least in my college/university.) The last thing they want is to be waiting 3 months for a service pack for NT to come out, when they can download the latest security fix for Linux within a day of the hole being found. The price thing helps too.
Go ask the NT sys admins running SQL how many times they have had to come in the middle of the night because the database crapped out, or even ask them their uptime for NT?
I'll say people don't have time to secure their OS. At 8pt Font, and 0.5" margins, the above is 164 pages ! How many Linux newbies are going to spend the time to read and secure their box?!

> Certainly, CS is not a mere way to learn to program well.
As a CS grad, I would have to agree. If you're lucky, you'll find little about becoming a better programmer in the few software engineering courses. Of course, the students that really were interested in the topics of CS and wanted to learn how to be a better program usually took it upon themselves to read up and learn on their own.
The nice thing about CS is that you don't really need a computer to do computer science (but it does help.;-) since CS is, as you mentioned, about the study of algorithms.
CS is really in a interesting position. Half-way between pure mathematics, and pure engineering.
Maybe the colleges/universities need to create a program for people who just want to use computers in the real world, without understanding the underlying structure. Oh wait, that was business computing;-)
It is illegal for a U.S. citizen to work outside the U.S. (land), because the U.S. citizen is still under the jurisdiction of the United States (the legal entity)
The question is, WHERE is the jurisdiction of the U.S. defined?
From the Constitution, Article 1, Section 8: ... To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legistlature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts,...
The above shows that the jurisdiction of the United States (legal entity) is ONLY 10 miles from inside Washington, DC.
Please look up ex-patriate in Black's Law Dictionary, and look at the 14th amendment in the Bill of Rights for a solution.

We DO have the right to contract our rights away. i.e. If I voluntarily sign a NDA, I then can't disclose the information, saying that the right of free speech allows me to.
People ALLREADY make themselves slaves everytime they get a Social Security Number, Driver's License, Marriage License, Business License, etc.

Lucovsky says. "It would have been so easy to drop the RISC support; everyone in the company wanted to. But the only way to achieve portability is to develop for more than one platform at a time. It cost us a lot to keep portability alive, but we did, and that has made it easy for us to respond to things like Merced," he says, referring to the 64-bit chip from Intel.
If you do not have a Social Security Number, you are NOT a tax protester. There is NO law that REQUIRES you to have a SSN! You are then EXTERNAL to the Internal Revenue Service.

I think we need to make the distinction of gaming companies between game developer and publisher.
Can the game developer survive if their current work title and the next one flops? Not immediate financial trouble, but definately in the future.
I think game developers and publishers are both partly to blame. Good marketing can't save a bad game (allthough maybe we need to take lessons from Micro$oft on selling Win95;-) Publishers also need to market good games. i.e. Heretic II was a great game, yet marketing seems to lacking.
Games ARE a huge risk, no doubt about that. Spend 2 years and take a shot hopeing that your game is in the top 10. If those odds sound bad, it is because they are. Not to discourage any of the younger talent from entering the industry, but watch your health, and don't get burnt out !
If the game developer where you work doesnt provide a fun environment, and money each quarter is the driving force *cough EA cough (no offense intended to EA employees)*, maybe its time to find another game developer to work for?
I think we do allready have a mass exodus to other game developers. How many programmes stay with the game developer after the game ships? How many artists stay with the same company once a project is over? How many game developers over 30 are still in the industry?
