I have a CS degree and have never written a line of code(professionally). I have, however, been a Network Technician and Administrator for more than 10 years(before that I chased electrons as a technician doing R&D work for a gov't agency). CS taught me some wonderfull ideas and concepts and is\has been a great tool in planning many projects. I'm just a gear-head with a degree in something I don't really use(like so many others with degrees), I just wanted the paper, tired of going to interviews and being asked why I never graduated. I just like the challenge of troubleshooting and fixing things and playing with computers and networks. The talent was first noticed by my dad when I took our first color TV apart and 'adjusted' it at age 6, after the ass-whupping I was encouraged to ask questions BEFORE I dismantled something. That's my rant and I'm sticking to it.
It may boil down to the underlaying O/S. If voting machines are going to use windoze as their base, as do many(most?)ATM's do; then, I'd be very concerned.
why all of the people from the north are defecting\emigrating to the south. They need the connectivity and bandwidth. Who needs food when you can have p()rn!
Excellent observations. My company recently invested in several LTO2 units to replace our old DDS units. A tremendous improvement in every aspect of it's operation and manageability. We have also explored optical drives and it really comes down to the fact that we get more bang for our buck with tape at this point in time. Perhaps at some point the situation will be reversed, meanwhile, tape still rules!

Sometimes the "or else" is all the motivation they need to stop!

Very astute observation. I don't think I've ever heard that line of thought before, I do agree with it.
Fuck off ass wipe.

I want a pony too, but only if it's Open Source.
Damn, I wish I'd have thought of that!

Once again these folks shoot themselves in the foot. They need to take their ball and go home.

Micro$oft will be making the DDR-666 available soon I suspect.
Random quotes work well in the absence of fact and substance.

They also commit suicide at a greater rate than U.S. students. A connection!?!?
