heh, damn -- somebody caught me out -- no, i didn't read TFA or even TFS... i just saw 'electric' and 'engine' and the fact that there were 0 posts and pounced XD
and yes, i see what you mean (although i'm also one of those people who would never own a diesel-engined car)
seriously -- don't joke about that -- i've seen places that advertise fake blowers --- a simple horn put underneath your bonnet hooked up to your cd player, comes with a sound just like a blow-off valve makes... pitiful
almost as bad as the fake NOS kits going around... a plastic bottle with a NOS sticker that you put in your boot....
(i don't know why i'm still replying to this, but what the hell...)
don't you get it -- a software engineering degree is not about teaching you to code... IT has much MUCH more than that. Coding is only an extremely small portion of the degree that covers business, psychology, mathematics, physics, english, team work, planning....
the way i see it, after it gets worse, it's gotter get better -- doesn't it ??
doesn't it ??
anyway, i'll continue with my degree, there's something like only 40 other people in the same state as me studying SE... and heck, if i don't get anything out of it, it's only a few years of my life... and i'm garunteed to get SOMETHING out of studying SE
and anyway -- if i were to complete my degree to end up as a programmer then i might as well have not done it -- programming is not the entire point as a software engineer
i'm a second year studying software engineering...
news like this scares me XD
though i don't see my future job as something that can be outsourced as easily as other IT jobs, but hey -- i didn't read the article so i don't know...

http://www.underground-book.com/ this style of book has been done before (in australia anyway) and with relative success. The best part about that book was how the author made it available for the public to d/l.
an interesting read...
