The sun is setting on America, and I have this gloomy feeling that we're going to see a lot more articles like this: we don't need math, Engineering is dying career, college is overrated, it's better to just learn to work with your hands, etc. Maybe I'm jumping at shadows, but this is how I imagine things will go as our youth are converted into low cost portable labor.
They have probably forgotten that we engineered a coup to overthrow their
democratically elected government and replaced it with a dictator.
I doubt they'll still be mad about that. We should be safe!

Need surgery? get a surgeon. Need your car fixed? get a mechanic.
I'm glad to see Chu get the nod, I don't see a downside to truth and knowledge. If we fail to act on his advice, then that's our shortcoming, not his.
I've got to get in on some action like this. I think I'll sue Microsoft, and just alledge that they did "something bad to me"
Can't say what it is, just that it was 'bad' and they owe me money.
Are we still at the point where SCO won't tell the court what specific lines code has been code have been 'stolen'?
I haven't been following this, last time I looked I thought this was pretty much all over because SCO was unable to present any evidence even as to which lines of code were being used without permission.
It seems like the writers just run with whatever the industry gossip tells them. It's not like they do an in depth study, interview a thousand different people and such. It's always just today's buzz with these articles. A few years ago it was 'Engineers starving to death' and now it's 'Engineers getting $150K to work at home'. Every Engineer job has been outsourced. We're critically short of Engineers. Different story every day.
At what point does a person *know* java?
I graduated a few years ago, and I listed Java on my resume. I had taken two semesters (Introduction and Client/Server) and felt like I should list it. I would venture a guess that no project done for a class rivals the complexity of a real world project, but are college students supposed to leave their resumes blank? Naturally I didn't list Java under the experienced listings,but under languages known.
Maybe there should be industry standardized tests for each language, not unlike A+ certifications or Redhat Linux Certifications.

Yeah, Mr.Wizard was great, I think Bill Nye and the folks at Mythbusters are the ones influencing kids these days.

It was worse than Sunday school 'cuz nobody bought me an icecream sundae afterwards :(
It's simply amazing that something this crazy can drag on for this long.

Doesn't require you to be good looking, it's less strenuous, yet it's still quite a rewarding job.

Good break for Radio Shack, you can't pay for that kind of advertising.
