My experience was pretty similar. When I went to school, they were more concerned about the concepts and theory as opposed to the actual code itself. Instead of focusing in on one language in particular I was exposed to a variety of languages, and it this point I can probably code in just about anything with a day of reading.
My only complaint is that there is a gap between what the industry is doing, and what is going on at educational institutions. Maybe its just me, I just feel like educational institutions need to get more involved with the so-called "corporate world" and begin to mine for what they are looking for in applicants and change their curriculum accordingly.
Sure - maybe this is a good thing... or just more of the same. I mean these debates are on television, radio, hell they're probably broadcasted in morse code. The fact of the matter is as sad as it might sound, the large majority of young Americans simply aren't interested in these presidential debates. This is evident in voting percentages from the following years. Why would anyone think a debate through a social networking site will change this.
Quite frankly, in my opinion, I think just about everything to stress the importance of voting that can be done, has been done. We can drag these people out of their homes if need be, but the facts remain, I'd rather someone who choses to remain ignorant of the issues not vote at all.
The tests, which could involve more than 1,000 flights, will determine how the technology holds up under the rigors of flight.
Wait, test?! Is American Airlines going to be shooting missiles at planes... because nobody else will.
From what I can see, it probably has a lot to do with Apple's PR. Its difficult to turn on the televisions these days without seeing an Apple commercial. Another point to be made is that you can go to popular computer retailers and buy Macs right off the shelves. I would imagine a large majority of consumers don't buy directly from the manufacteurers. All in all, I just don't think Linux is out there enough.
Not to mention, should it really have any bearing on how you vote in the primaries? No offense, but this country is facing a plethora of issues that I'd probably rank a little bit higher.
Everyone can complain all they want about the liberal media and Fox News and such. The bottom line is TV news is just another form of media. It's a business like anything else. Regardless of their political leanings, they are going to cover what people want covered, or better yet, what they think people want covered. It's really as simple as that.
Maybe I don't want to hear about what Paris did this week, but you can bet there is a good majority of people who will watch a TV news show just to find out.
Not only does the article you posted sound like a positive thing for Sears, It's 11 months old! I highly doubt it reflects current market conditions. I'm not really sure if Sears is going out of business - always seemed like they did alright with their hardware sections - but if you're going to make claims, please have sources that are accurate.
I've pondered and pondered and pondered and yet I still can't find a viable business case for virtual worlds such as second life. I'm sure eventually one might be found, but under the current conditions, I just can't see any reason why a business would want to invest in this market until it becomes more mature. Additionally, as a younger techie, I see companies consistently using this as a ploy to hire and maintain us. Thinking that if they look innovative enough, we may just want to stay with this company. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but if you give me competitive pay and good benefits, I'll probably stay. Maybe, just maybe, IBM has a point, but the ability to kick a boulder 1,000 feet in a virtual world really doesn't translate into $$$'s.
Giving in seems like a great way to piss all over the first amendment. If this were MS, everyone would be up in arms, but since its our beloved Apple, we should probably just give in.
Not off topic AT ALL. If Linux or for that matter Ubuntu is ever going to become mainstream this NEEDS to happen. DVD playback has been sore spot for Linux for several years, and while it's possible, from what I understand it's legality is somewhat questionable which is why most versions don't include it out of the box.
I'm really not sure why you put the word proven in quotes. I really think in this instance MS set the standard for word processing software. Most of those open source alternatives are good, but they really are glorified clones of the same interface. Overall, since they set the standard, it was pretty dumb to change it. I think most people enjoyed the previous interfaces of both XP and Office 2003. Not because it was intuitive, but because it was the standard. 95% of the bashing of these products came from 2% (pretty much slashdot) of the user base.

Funny, I tried to register "a';DROP TABLE employees;" - it came back with nothing? Anybody else getting this problem?

11. This article is somewhat pointless and makes fairly obvious claims.
You can count on it

...or maybe we should just secure our routers and not deal with this "problem" at all.
Doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

Wake up - the worlds getting scary. America isn't the first to employ this, and if it works, I sincerely doubt it'll be the last. Isn't this old news?

... I ate chicken sandwich today.
Oh I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about pointless things that happened today.
Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly... but doesn't the RIAA want people to listen to these songs on the radio so they go out and buy the cd?
Giving in seems like a great way to piss all over the first amendment. If this were MS, everyone would be up in arms, but since its our beloved Apple, we should probably just give in.
If they really want to protect trade secrets, maybe they could try to make sure they don't get leaked in the first place?
When did speculation and reporting on rumors get deemed as private information? All I know is CNN is screwed.

Nah - I'm sure once Vista gets all the problems from their 32 bit version - it'll be smooth sailing in their 64 bit version.
