If you at all interested in copyright, patents, open source, public domain, Internet, and the airwaves, this book is a well-written overview of these issues, along with suggested solutions to some of the problems involved. In paperback.
FYI, the January 2004 issue of Wired magazine has an interesting article about research cloning. The author follows a couple of geneticists at Advanced Cell Technology as they perform all the steps of research cloning and the results. In fact, the article seems to indicate that ACT may have been quicker at successful extraction of stem cells from a cloned human blastocyst. There is a short interview with one of the geneticists about the ethics of therapeutic cloning. Well worth reading. Look for the issue with the bright red cover - you can't miss it.

I never heard of him, and I'm from Southern California, but his situation sounds like what's happening with Kucinich.
Here's an interesting article on the media-driven "money primary" for presidential candidates: http://slate.msn.com/id/2085734/
In that same issue of Business 2.0, a few articles after the employment article, is a pullout cheatsheet on how to offshore your labor.
Retirement and demographics may drive up the need for labor, but U.S. companies may increasingly be looking outside of the country for that needed labor. Business 2.0 is there to help you do it.:-)
I used the APUE book in my undergraduate systems programming class. I didn't care for the book. It wasn't very readable as a textbook, and it has a mediocre index, which I think is essential for a book to be used a reference. The chapter questions, which I assume would highlight the most important concepts and points, seem to highlight more esoteric details, often which are not discussed in that particular chapter, or the rest of the book. For example, question 7.4: "Some Unix implementations purposely arrange that, when a program is executed, location 0 in the data segment is not accessible. Why? (Stevens 1993: 185)." The answer is not in Chapter 7, or in the rest of the book. If this detail was so important, then why isn't it discussed in the book, and in fact, not listed in the index? After reading and using this book for a quarter, I have not been eager to look at another Stevens book.
For me at least, David A. Curry's "Unix Systems Programming for SVR4" was more helpful for systems programming, and Jon C. Snader's "Effective TCP/IP Programming" was very helpful for my computer networks class (Network, Transport, and Application layer programming). However, Sander's Tip 41 is "Read Stevens," and he has this to say about UNIX Network Programming Volume 1 in particular: "Every practicing network programmer should have this book (Snader 2000: 264-266)." So, maybe I'll check out the second edition.
It looks like motherboards based on
VIA's K8T800 chipset use the AMI
BIOS, including ASUS's K8V Deluxe.
(FYI, the new Voodoo Envy M:855 laptop uses the K8T800.)

Even more discouraging is having a bacheor's degree and seeing job ads that list as the first requirement, "degree from a top-tiered university."

Interesting article on econometrics that may apply to this e-voting study.
The hardware does not exist yet? What about a maxed out SLI system with two 6800 Ultras? (Although I'm not sure how available such systems are yet.)
