Zaxon on an 8086 was amazing.
More than anything though, EGA blew me away. CGA was a small step from Mono, but EGA (16 colors) was a mind blowing experience.
I have serious doubts the RFID will contain "all your information." It will likely contain a unique identifier which can then be used to retrieve your information at a customs station. Not like that makes me feel very comfortable anyways, but then again, SSNs have pretty much been whored...
"You're better off selecting one or two specific areas and focusing on getting experience within it."
Considering how much outsourcing there is in the industry, jack of all trades are becoming more popular.

Thats one heck of a leap forward from connecting x number of snail nerves together.
There's so much junk orbitting our planet that man and non-manned flights into space are becoming increasingly dangerous. It may help to take hubble out of orbit and destroying it.
Not to mention there are web based java ssh clients... who knows, some employees might be inclined to use one. That pretty much gives an unknown source a nice key for your network.

putting into it. I mean the fact that so many news articles are running about this giveaway, makes it easily worth it for MS to giveaway so much money. Every major news site has this posted somewhere on their main page or main tech page.... smart.

If I hear the word procedural one more time from this guy...
