There is no such thing as a level playing field. The game started thousands of years ago and it cannot be reset. The levelest we can get the field is to not let the refs call the plays in anyones favor. Government is big and stupid, I do not trust it to make correct decisions, therefore its decision making power should be limited. Individuals must do what they can to improve their own situation. Government's only job should be to stay out of the way and keep it from violence.
If you are learning how to click menu items in Websphere, you are getting an IT degree, not a Computer Science degree.
In theory you could teach a full computer science degree without even touching a computer. Computer Science is the theory behind computation, IT is the practical application of the work.
I try to start my workday and finish my workday with some personal projects. Sometimes I have had employers who encouraged working on a fun project at work, sometimes I needed to work on something 'work-related', but generally it had to be fun. I would use these projects as a warm up and a cool down from the brunt of my work programming. I found that it would get my head into 'programming space' with something enjoyable, and at the end of the day, let me leave thinking about my fun work and not the hard slog of the day. Keeps your brain healthy!

In Austin, Texas, where I live, women are free to walk around topless if they so choose.
Do you have any openings for computer programmers in this "Austin" of yours?
This is slashdot bud, I would make that probably a definitely.
but I have to call bullshit on green farming
Well, that might just help make more crops.

Most slashdotters need instructions on the normal way to develop Mono.
Is that how they measure Records in Teraflops?
But they spam my browser too!
Now if my glasses break, I lose my MP3 layer. And if my MP3 player breaks, I get a bulky pair of glasses. Convergence is Awesome!

To all those about to compile, we salute you.
The Poincare Conjecture solves you!
Is this a thin swipe at another filthy rich ivy league yachtsman with an aristocratic brahmin accent? Lovey!
That is an urban myth. The internet was designed by some 14 year olds who wanted pr0n without getting caught by the lady at the bookstore.

There are actually more 'Computer Science' majors, but at the risk of being overqualified for the jobs at McDonalds, they are lying about it.
Does anyone else find it odd that a school to produce more geeks is named after a outdoor wear company? the mascot? Northface University Jackets

Next he can make a page about Slashdot, now that he is going to be bilked out of bandwidth overage fees.
