... but I'm not sure how it's a "Relativity Shock" as the second links suggests.
Upon thinking about a marble rolling on a rubber sheet I immediately see two big differences between it and a planet moving in space: (i) the marble.. well.. rolls along the sheet, which planets don't do while moving through space; and (ii) the rubber sheet doesn't propagate disturbances at the speed of light (or anywhere close to it).
Tell them you feel strongly about retaining your rights over your software and see if they maintain that it's required to transfer rights to them.
Get the facts from them. If they say you have to, but you really don't want to, don't take the job.
Of course, make sure you get it in writing.
3) Does not require me to download some java/flash/newfangled invention in order to access content.
Complain to the websites using it. I don't think browsers should ship with every newfangled invention to satisfy peoples' obsession with "ooooh pretty" webpages. At least the browsers give you the option.

The programming courses are so simple, but you have to take courses like Calculus IV and Physics II.
I'm doing fine in my math and science, but I'm betting not everybody is. I'm not quite sure why you need all of this excessive math and science (except when the Computer Science is in the School of Engineering--but not all colleges are like this).
I've been programming for years--with code in many Open Source projects like Nmap, Metasploit and the Linux Kernel--but I did this without the courses at my college. Other people are probably realizing they can do the same and picking different majors to avoid the higher-level math and science.
But, hey, I'm just a CS major bored in my classes.
Absolutely. My fellow SoC students and I participating with Nmap last year have lots of code in Nmap proper. And the years before that (Nmap has participated every year of the SoC) there were a whole lot of cool things added to Nmap proper from SoC work.
I successfully participated last summer working with Nmap. Leslie (from Google) and Fyodor were wonderful to work with, and I hope I can get in again this year!
This is the same logic as TVs causing fat people. Yes, if you watch a lot of TV you're likely to become fat... but it's not the TVs fault. It's peoples' behavior and tendencies.

While I don't feel buffer overflows are something to ignore, from what I see the developer never actually said "unexploitable."
From the "skeptical glibc developer" link:
> if not maybe the one byte overflow is still exploitable.
Hmm. How likely is that? It overflows in to malloc metadata, and the
glibc malloc hardening should catch that these days.
Probably to protect him from more reporters who like to find obsessively private people, poke them with a stick and post everything online.
At least they'd have a good reason this time.
But 4K ought to be enough for anybody!

If I were to teach an OS class using source code I'd point students to BSD first (netbsd or openbsd at least, or even 4.2BSD).
And BSD is obviously a particularly good example for networking code.

I can't think of a better reason for it.

..that people with these devices don't receive any mail via snail.
How about the coffee?

Come on, they make something as geeky as this and neglect Google Code Search? For shame!
After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 the other day I realized this change.... but I got over it!
I personally think that an option to turn it off would be nice, but come on, it's not a big deal.

It was available in 4.9, released just days before 5.0.

When it sucks. And since you chose to leave it nameless, I'd say it probably sucks.

"It's great to see something so dynamic on Mars. A lot of what we see there hasn't changed for millions of years."
Mars has dust storms quite often, with some covering the entire planet. How would this have not changed anything during millions of years?
Are there ANY success stories?
Absolutely. My fellow SoC students and I participating with Nmap last year have lots of code in Nmap proper. And the years before that (Nmap has participated every year of the SoC) there were a whole lot of cool things added to Nmap proper from SoC work.

Great job, Google!
