From my experience where your degree is from and even what your degree is in have little bearing on programming jobs. People with chemistry and mathematics degrees are just as likely to get the job as people with CS degrees. It comes down to skillset and experience. If you really want to be a programmer, while you are still in college be an intern or assistant or something or get a part-time job programming so when you apply for your first job you have experience and references. Those will be far more valuable than any degree.
Being the market leader and making good hardware are not necessarily the same thing. It's more marketing than anything. So I would say Sony has some expertise in marketing but I wouldn't say they make awesome hardware. It's expensive, it breaks frequently, it's hard to develop for. Maybe the PS3 will be better, but I would be very surprised.
The problem is that people like Ted Kennedy will try to make a law banning this sort of thing. It may or may not be in poor taste, but companies should have the right to make games like that if they desire. Let the marketplace decide.

Duh. All they need to do it tweak the modulation of the dilithium intercharger and it should increase their power output to within 6 megajoules of the optimum phase dispersion. Jeez, they teach this stuff in Basic Warp Drive Physics 101 at the Academy...
Why are we allowing voting to go on in a system that has NOT been proven safe?
The problem is that once we have voted a senator or representative into office, they can do whatever they want. It takes A LOT to get them out, so they can do stupid shit and people really don't have much immediate recourse. A politician can do all sorts of fucked up things before he is finally removed from office. And the voting machine companies have deep pockets.
I think there needs to be a system to allow state residents to vote on every single bill. Not to replace the existing system but to supplement it. For instance, if a bill is about to pass and if the citizens voted 90% "nay" on it then the bill has to go through another round of scrutiny or something. Similarly if the bill was about to fail and the people voted "yea" on it, it needs to be looked at again. Obviously this would require some extra (electronic?) infrastructure to accomplish but I think it would help stop politicians from doing what THEY want instead of what the PEOPLE they represent want..
If it was sufficiently overcast for that hour, the light would be so diffuse that it probably wouldnt matter much. You could easily correct it in Photoshop if you did happen to get a couple frames with more/less light.
It USED to exist on Earth, but the Heaven's Gate cult teleported it onto the surface of the Hale-Bopp comet and now they travel the universe on it like a galactic Winnebago
What's even worse is that there is no compromise in our society anymore. Instead of allowing bars to purchase a "smoking" license or have separate smoking sections, it's just totally illegal outright. I see no problem in allowing a bar (or restaurant, or any other business) to build a separate enclosed smoking area with its own ventilation. If they want to front the cost to build it, they should be able to. There are ways to deal with issues like this instead of simply just banning everything... It just slowly nibbles away at that whole "land of the free" thing.
This is true. Network games that run on LAN are usually made to take advantage of the speed and latency that LAN offers. Trying to tunnel this thru your 56k PPP modem or 128k ISDN line probably is not the wisest thing.

How about a $60 car that can also play 90 .MPG files?

Maybe they let you watch The Incredibles on the LCD screen while you ride.
Yeah right. Name one.

You mean cracking down on Van Halen's "1984"?
Since when do the claims of a Dutch research institute amount to anything anyway?
"Low dispersion glass" doesn't have nearly the marketing power as "5 MEGApixel HIGH resolution!"
Besides, people need something with a number in it so they can feel superior to their neighbor who bought a camera with a smaller number...

For all we really know, the entire Earth could have been make of honey back then.
Even though it's a totally separate game style, these guys seem to have a good sense of humor Alien Hominid

It's a perfectly cromulent word...

It is safe, unless hackers get into your computer and set it to "Evil".
Perhaps the signs would actually say:
#include stdio.h
int main(int, char*[])
{
printf("Will program for food.");
return 0;
}
