Is Computer Science & Engineering still a popular degree option? I got my Bachelor's in CSE in 1994, and now that I'm back in school getting a Master's in Applied Physics, I'm grateful for all of the math and science courses that the "Engineering" part of the degree tacked on.
Just reading this thread, it's interesting all of the computer-related degree paths that have become available. When I started my undergrad, there was pretty much just Computer Science - if you wanted the "Engineering" at the end of your degree, your best bet was Electrical Engineering with a bunch of computer electives during your later years. Then CSE started popping up, which at the time was largely the Computer Science curriculum with a bunch of math and science (Calc I/II/III, linear/matrix algebra, differential equations, Physics I/II, Statics/Dynamics, Classical Optics/Modern Physics, Thermodynamics and Engineering Statistics). I switched from EE to CSE as soon as it became available, and even though I haven't worked in the field (been flying for the Navy almost since I graduated), I really appreciate the education I got.
Actually, the pressure from the G-suit (or "speed jeans") is only applied to the legs - the pressure doesn't come anywhere close to the gonads. Also, the whole "only female children" thing is a myth. I fly the E-2C "Hawkeye" radar surveillance plane for the Navy, and we probably get bombarded with more trons than any other aviators, since the radar dome is directly above us, and puts out a LOT of power. We joke about only having female kids, but if you take a survey in any given squadron, the numbers are always about 50-50, or at least within an expected deviation in either direction.

Wasn't Apple sitting on $300 million in cash when they went public? Sounds like Google doesn't need the cash - the IPO move is probably just to realize some value for the stake the investors and employees have in the company.
