Far too many "CS education classes" are the equivalent of memorizing how to create pivot tables in Excel and memorizing obscure unused corners of C++ libraries.
Pivot tables? Aren't they a poor substitute for using inner joins in a proper database?
Regardless of the ages of the prospective employees, the question still stands: Would you rather have people who can write and do math, but have trouble with email, or those who are the opposite?
Five years? I try to rotate my backups more frequently than that. As far as I can tell, I've never had my own burned discs go bad. Do you have a source for that claim?
Also, wouldn't entropy affect a hard drive more than optical media? If you can afford three hard drives, you can afford quite a bit of DVD-RWs.
First, is deterministic the same as algorithmic? Also, do the rules govern the behavior, or the rules merely describe the behavior? And if the rules are the laws of physics, what did particles do before anyone made the laws?
As a side note, I prefer the amphibolous English translation "The die is cast.". It could mean was Caesar meant (rolling a cube to see which side comes up), or it could mean that a model (die) has already been forged (cast).
But Apple patented the design, and the design is what Samsung is claiming as prior art in 2001. You could not invalidate the tablet itself on that basis, as the tablets in the movie are mere props, not working devices.

I wasn't talking about the question in the summary, but rather DogDude's question.
With respect to linux in the classroom, who buys the district super the season tickets, not Debian...
Canonical?

I'll tell you right now, and be proven correct in the future, their benefit nowhere near matches their cost.
If you wish to be proven correct in the future, it would help if you didn't post anonymously.

Doesn't throwing money at elections create problems rather than solve them?
Curved laptops? Doesn't Apple have a patent on that?
That seems like a lot of work.

My laptop has a 320 gigabyte hard drive which is partitioned roughly in half between Windows 7 and Linux.
With all of the features, each DVD would be 3-4 gigabytes, so 30 would be 90-120 gigabytes. That would be quite a bit of my Linux partition.
Because I have close to 100 CDs and 30 DVDs. Yeah, I'm old school. Ripping them onto my hard drive would take up too much space.
And what motive would Microsoft have for shortening copyright?
If you are in Space, what is aging?
I am in space, and I am aging.
How is space timeless? Spacetime may be "timeless" in the sense of integrating space over time.
Hey, my alarm clock is an HP-48GX. It only cost $199.
Seriously, is the only thing you do with your iPad is to use it as an alarm clock?
If you needed typing, why did you buy a tablet? And you could not figure out a good way to prop up your tablet in bed?
How can he try one without buying it? I'm not going to pay $499 for an experiment.
It's a tool, just because you cant figure out how to use a wrench does not make wrenches stupid.
True, but if I can't figure out such a wrench, why should I buy one?
If they don't completely describe reality.
First, is deterministic the same as algorithmic? Also, do the rules govern the behavior, or the rules merely describe the behavior? And if the rules are the laws of physics, what did particles do before anyone made the laws?

Which laws of physics? What if are current laws are incorrect? Indeed, how does one algorithmically account for Heisenberg Uncertainty?

Anonymous ftp is not that rare to be a narrow exception.
No, it's a wired connection. And why is mentioning anonymous FTP being smartass?
Show me someone using ftp and I'll show you a password theft followed by a crack.
Does that include anonymous FTP? Or using FTP between two computers in my apartment?
