You can say that, but where I go anyone living on campus (and we're forced to for half our college career) is forced to use the university as ISP instead of buying private internet access.
Universities are also non-profit in the States. They just don't get enough money from the government to fully fund themselves (Amtrak Syndrome.../sigh), so they come up with other ways...
Wouldn't a student be able to argue that using the university's internet connection made them an ISP because students pay a fee or pay through tuition for the use and upkeep of that network?
Well how about we work on de-desertifying the Sahara? Most of its outer areas only became desert due to human deforestation and grazing activities, which means we could probably re-green them quite feasibly. Same goes for most of the Middle East, or any other ecosystem that humans destroyed at some point.
Be honest... Doctor Who has been moving towards being a lame version of Buffy the vampire slayer.
Well, except for the emasculation of every male protagonist and the moral lessons of high-school health class ("Don't go to a frat party or you will be sacrificed to a lizard god," comes to mind), yeah. So basically, it's becoming a Buffy the Vampire Slayer without Buffy the Vampire Slayer! And with a TARDIS, an endless supply of Daleks, a weirdo guy calling himself an alien, more aliens that look alien, and time travel.
So basically, if by "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" you mean "Doctor Who", then you're exactly right!
Except that requires adding new directories to $PATH and other environment variables (for example, the Java paths if needed) for every single product installed and removing them with each and every uninstall.
Here's another question -- why study computer science abroad? Why not just backpack around South America during one of your breaks? Visit Macchu Picchu and neat stuff like that.
Every time we think we've found one (after interviewing a bunch of unqualified people) they get a better offer from somebody else.
So make a better offer and compete for labor instead of having the government use H1-B visas to subsidize your sense of entitlement to highly-qualified employees!
Finally, I do a fair bit of tech interviewing. There is a real shortage of US-born/US-resident workers that meet our requirements. I'm not talking about a shortage of people that will work for the palrty wage we're offering: I'm talking about people that we're willing to make an offer to at all. We look for them anywhere and everywhere, and I interviewed 25 people at a college campus recently. Half of them where white-bread America and half of them were foreign-born US students.
So what were these requirements that you had such a hard time filling?

April 2008 also saw the PC-edition release of "Assassin's Creed". This made me a happy man.
Except that Apple's UI and APIs are actually pretty damn good. I keep saying this, but someone ought to write free implementations for Linux...

The guy in TFA was a grad student getting money from the university to do research, not an undergrad receiving nothing!
Wouldn't a student be able to argue that using the university's internet connection made them an ISP because students pay a fee or pay through tuition for the use and upkeep of that network?
When speaking of research we usually refer to grad students. If a grad student isn't getting paid to do their job, they're a very bad grad student.
Reading Slashdot posting logs... Tracing IP address... Mossad notified.
As a climate scientist, what would you say to someone who wanted to get into geoengineering or ecosystem engineering? How might it be done?

My mom said politely when she said his face has "character". Me I think he looks like the guy in the film "Mask".
Now that you say it, the guy does seem to look a bit Ax Crazy.

Naw, if Rose had been a porn star instead of a chav she'd have been useful to society!
Sure web development is not the only kind of software development but it sure is the majority nowadays.
Seriously? For real and true?
NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Well that pretty much confirms my notion that I need to prepare another possible career for myself than in computing.
I'd spend my own mod points, but I've posted under this article.

Have you considered that different people learn in different ways?
Well sure, but if you want to go back to that we should give kids real work in actual jobs with compensation and social relevance.
Got an application submission page somewhere?
Here's another question -- why study computer science abroad? Why not just backpack around South America during one of your breaks? Visit Macchu Picchu and neat stuff like that.
Who has the money these days?
It may even raise questions as to your diligence and motivation toward your career rather than fun.
Thus leaving the Slashdot-asker eternally shamed and required to commit ritual suicide.
So what's "the job", and where is it?
Every time we think we've found one (after interviewing a bunch of unqualified people) they get a better offer from somebody else.
So make a better offer and compete for labor instead of having the government use H1-B visas to subsidize your sense of entitlement to highly-qualified employees!

And by "government prohibition of competition" I suppose you mean forcible breakup of monopolies?
