That would probably be worse, not only is RIM really annoying, but it brings in a huge amount of cash for the area.
Also, RIM is a Canadian company, not sure how feasible it is to move it out to Washington. Maybe move it to Vancouver or something.
good god I hope Microsoft doesn't buy RIM, it's bad enough in Waterloo already with them around, if it turned into Microsoft East it would just be horrible.
Hard enough to drive around the University from 7-9am and 5-7pm.
I have a friend who, I think, was developing some stuff with OpenAL, and he said he wasn't that impressed with it. I can't really remember for sure, as I haven't looked at it at all.
Maybe he'll respond here and be able to actually give you information.
it might matter if...

More people actually learned about the technologies used instead of just blindly assuming what they use is good.
Maybe if more people learned instead of just being a paper MCSE, IT would matter more.
I do use a (relatively, nothing is entirely) private email, through my university.
But many many many people use "free" email. I'm not saying it's wrong of Google to scan emails and provide advertising based on that, but rather that it would be wrong for them to store possibly sensitive information, or have leaks of sensitive email happen because of that system. To me, that's the important part of the law that was passed.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Yeah, legislating technology that doesn't really even exist yet isn't THAT good, but neither is your email provider data mining you, and possibly selling that info to other companies.
Plus, it is email. Sensitive data may pass through that (you'd be stupid to use something like Gmail or Hotmail to do so, but it happens).
from the article:
(a) equip students with the fundamental knowledge, skills and capabilities to function effectively as information managers;
Translation: we teach you to be librarians.
Didn't know you had to have a graduate degree to look up books.
Sadly it happens all too often nowadays.
"Oh, your project is done, and you still want to get paid? Bye bye"
The good people get fed up and leave the industry, and we end up with crap programs. Maybe more companies should do what the WB is thinking of (see here ).

Sad that a studio with such good titles is leaving. RIP Ion Storm Austin.
Like the EFF will ever actually be useful for anything more than posting about "Pioneer Awards". Dirty hippies, all of em.
