If slashdot readers call with simple decoy questions, then switch it up to something more worthy of a phone call when on the air, the producers will be forced to focus on technical aspects instead of entertainment value, or they will look inept alot.
Until somebody makes nanobots that look like good nanobots, but are actually programmed to cause a blockage in the hearts blood supply, and then dissipate enough to avoid detection after the person dies.
I like jumping around from thing to thing, many tasks lack a stimulating aspect that keeps my mind sharp on what I am doing, so my mind wanders anyway. By switching between different tasks, I stay more focused on what I am doing at that moment. This is not 100% though, there are times when I become very focused on one item for long periods of time and have great productivity. This seems to be mainly after taking very low doses of Marijuana, but that is another story.
I think the school matters and my reasoning is like this: ACM has a little programming competition and traditionally the school that wins in my region is a top notch school, why should it matter? The same knowledge is there in the same books at different schools, etc., but the students at the upper schools were likely higher achievers in high school. You need to have a good academic record to go to a top school, therefore that is where the smart people go. That should make the odds better for an employer, shouldn't it?
Some of the things in the notice strike me as odd. For example items four, five, six, and seven on page seven: Does P2P make people install spyware, adware, viruses,or cause system slowdown?!? For the latter, how the hell does the software efficiency become a factor in deciding if it should be legal or not? As for the other three, get real, e-mail and all the stupid little things people install like weather monitors from their local TV stations and such is what comes to my mind first. Should we outlaw them as well? Seems to me like these questions are setting P2P up for failure. There is nothing unique to P2P when it comes to viruses and such, so why is it an issue?
So, like what happens to the writers of the code when a vulnerability is found? Is it someting along the lines of 'oops, better luck next time' or do heads roll?
I got started in the computer field when I was flipping through the channels and landed on TechTV. TechTV is where I learned about Linux. I am currently about half way through my CS degree and loving it. I never would have made to this point without TechTV. I will miss it. Oh well, at leasst there is still the Linux Show to listen too.
Great, as if outsourcing wasn't bad enough, now I have to worry about staying current with brain improvement technology or some dolt with headgear might come along and snatch my job.
What you all need to do is watch 'In Plane Sight.' The terrorists were not the ones running the show that day. It was all a ploy to give the customs agents the power to raid toy stores without a warrant. Now that I have spit the truth, they will probably be coming for me now...
I am current CS student with a 4.0 GPA. I will graduate in 2006. I love programing and I will code my ass off for you (unless wife complains I am gone to much, in which case I will need to work from home.) Somebody please have a job ready for me in case Red Hat turns me down.
Now if someone would mirror the incompatability list and the compatability list in a side by side manner on one site with a search feature that would access both sites simultaneously, then one would only have to check half a zillion sites before buying some hardware.
I tend to agree, unless someone else knows better. One can imagine a large amount of misinformation floating around. We could end up with a bunch of people believing that aliens crash landed in the desert. Or that processed food is healthy.

All I really want to know is if we are any closer to the day when I can alter reality. Without drugs.
I think this is really good, now we never again need to encounter one of those akward moments wherein we must occupy time with our own thoughts.

Please stay, because I do not want to be the only one stuck at a dumpy school.
Can I be your friend?
When I watch something it becomes a part of my memories, why can I not share my memories with others?

Static IP's are only an extra $5 a month and there is always more honor in going with the underdog.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought rich people gave charitable contributions in order to save more money in the tax area.

The Zaurus has run Linux with SD for quite some time now, with both Sharp's OS and other 3rd party OS's.
