What do you see as the future of capitalism in global society? Will ever-larger corporations continue to dominate the world, or is there any merit to the idea of a "free" (both speech and beer) society?
Have you tried using the StarOffice 6 to make html pages in the word processor? I like it a hell of a lot better than I ever did frontpage... Granted, last time I used frontpage was FP97...
Something that may help you decide would be to compare the curriculums of those two programs at a couple schools. I am a 3rd year CE student at Milwaukee School of Engineering. In addition to CE, MSOE offers a software engineering degree (CS on steroids). You can look at the courses you would be taking for CE and SE
on their respective department web pages. The biggest difference in programs comes in junior and senior year. This is when the SE's start spending 20 hours a day in the programming lab, coz they have 3 labs to do:)
Another thing to consider is that its OK to change your mind, since these two programs are similar, you can transfer between tham pretty easily. IMO, it is easier to transfer from CE to CS/SE than vice-versa, so you should start out in CE:)
What would be really neat is if the punishments (6mo jail and/or fine) were cumulative - that is, for each spam email they send out.
If someone spams 1 million people, and only (i'll be generous) 10% of the people have opted-in for spam, thats 900,000 illegal emails they have sent. At 6 months apiece, they are in jail for 450,000 years....
Its not very difficult to get free email addresses... Microsoft, Netscape, and many others, will give you a plethora of email address to use if you're afraid of getting your "real" email full of canned meat.
What would we do? Well, for one thing, it would ensure the survival of the human race.
Transporting the entire population of the earth? No need, people breed quick enough. This may sound callous, but it's true.
Given time and willpower (money is irrelevant, it's just an extension of willpower), it is possible to terraform Mars, at least far enough to grow crops on the surface. I realize this is no trivial task, but has that ever stopped humans before?

Is it just me, or does this sound like domain-limited cookies?
It says: "This data may be accessed by the Flash movie that is running or by another Flash movie on the same web site."
My impression is that the data it collects is not data sitting on your hard drive, it is data that relates to the flash application you are using.

Sure there is something MS can do about it:
Give the state and/or state legislators enough money to convince them to not pass such a law.
FLOPS, of course.
Even without a processor clock, you should still be able to measure how many operations it can do per (real-time) second.
