The number often quoted (don't know how true it is) is for every 1 US engineer graduating this year, there is 10 China based engineers graduating. The difference is the quality of there educations. I have seen first hand what happens when a Chinese undergrad tries to start grad school in the US...they usually fail...especially if they are required to do actual lab work for their graduate work. They have no/little background in anything but theory.
Being right next door @ Rochester Institute of Technology, things are a bit different. We have a complete fab (clean room) for the engineering students. Think millions of dollars of equipment (most of which has been donated, but still) and about 10 technicians to keep the tools operational (none of which teach classes). Don't get me started on the electric bill for the fab.
That is just one engineering dept at RIT. The one depts are also well funded (we have doubled the size of the engineering building in the last 2 years)...the art building on campus hasn't been renovated since being first built in the 70s.
Oh No! Not another evil tech company! Wait a minutes, we are not talking about microsoft are we, we are talking about GOOGLE. We are safe, google is safe, and firefox is safe. Nothing else to talk about ppl.
When I am graphing an infinite series that doesn't converge, it will take 20 minutes instead of 45 on my Ti-89? Still faster to figure it out by hand (calculaters are evil in college, only help you stop figuring things out for yourself)
What happened to the Buffalo TeraStation? I would call 1TB of storage (though overpriced) an improvement.

Wow, I guess it's a good thing that my major (college student) is double majors in Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering with minor in Economics! But I never thought that I would see this, lol.

News: Soon you will not even need a car to wardrive, all you have to do it pull out your laptop in your appt. and turn it on!
I am from Ohio, and I have never heard of an University of Ohio; maybe Ohio University.
I love how the ad that popped up above this article was a Cisco ad.
Just what we need: more ads in our lives
Can anyone say that they are suprised? All wireless technology can be hacked
Yeah for a heavy picture website. Come on slashdot! Come on slashdot! Come on slashdot effect! (and a hit is heard over the hill)
You just posted on slastdot, you are going to have a hell lot more then 100 vistors a day for a while.
See Apple lissens, only if some other large OS manufacure would to.
Alright children, now everyone gather around the computer so we can watch what's on C-span!

I was wondering when they were going to send (another) spacecraft to Mars. I mean our current one(s) have been there for only 11 months.
