Before anyone starts bemoaning the death of the book, it should be noted that the University of Texas has at least twenty libraries. The one being replaced is the generic "Undergraduate Library", which I understand has always been more of a study location than a research library.
The only warning that I would add is that even if you don't have four mouths to feed, you soon will. So, a "bachelor" strategy is only a defensive position at best. You need to reach a comfort level with your job eventually, if not right now.
I do agree that keeping your work projects very seperate from your personal projects is a good strategy. It not only avoids burn-out, but avoids nasty legal issues as well - especially if you work on fs/os projects.
I wonder if Microsoft is putting its toe in the water here to see if MS applications on Linux would sell. Loosening up the licensing will attract an ISV to write a commercial WMP for Linux. If things work out well, MS can always aquire/squash the ISV and come out with "MS Bundle for Linux". If the product doesn't sell, there is little risk to MS since company holding the WMP license might not be in business anymore, rendering all licenses void.
