It probably depends a lot on where you live but Rails developers are in desperate demand in the Seattle area. If you want to be a good developer you should always be learning a new language though. Clojure and Scala, and Node.js are probably some things to be looking at if you want to do some work on the cutting edge in the near future.
As for all the.NET fanboys out there; you should realize it's perfectly reasonable to not want to learn that framework. Quality of work-life is important to a lot of us and we're not just looking for any job. Being stuck in the microsoft ecosystem can be soul crushing for a developer, it also limits your future growth into other areas. There are a lot of people who need you to be savvy in POSIX, and MS developers tend to be lost in that world.
The problem with this is you're discriminating against the type of traffic and saying some is more legitimate than others. Why is someone's http traffic more important than my bittorrent traffic, or more important than someone else's ftp traffic. We are all paying for the use of the network, so you need to let people use it however they like.
If some user is being abusive of the network, that's a different discussion all together.
Is there anyway we can get the RIAA classified as a trust or something similar and have it disbanded? It seems like a conglomerate of large corporations is just as dangerous and bad for competition as any single company monopoly.
Pass the law and go straight to the supreme court. Do no pass Go. Do not collect $200.
If you feel like being part of a landmark case you should head down to the court house and scream profanities until you're arrested. Then file suit and become part of history.
I say make them play portal to improve their reasoning skills, and teach them to think of creative solutions to complex problems. Also to keep them paranoid of rogue computers and robots, since that is a future threat our kids will surely have to face.
The project begins to make it possible to send wealthy people to the edge of space instead of another vacation to Hawai`i. The project becomes profitable and the lessons learned likely make it possible for less and less wealthy people to venture to the edge of space. Other people notice that there is money to be made in space tourism and start their own companies doing the same thing. Competition ensues and the wonderful powers of market forces kick in and innovation starts to spread like wildfire.
I agree that SpaceX is a currently a much more innovative push to get into space. But it's that way because it's found a way to make money doing so. Once space becomes a money making enterprise and no longer just a interesting place for egg-heads, then you'll see much greater advances in technology.
With an iPod that has more HD space than my MacBook is apple going to make it possible for you to use the iPod as your backup device for the new Time Machine Feature in Leopard?
Only the Core 2 Duo Systems have the pre-n cards. The first gen macbook pro's with just Core Duo don't get this unfortunately. Though if you're brave I've read you can upgrade fairly easily.
I know some ISP's require 1 year or 2 year contracts. This seems like a great way to get out without having to pay the cancellation fees. Start farming your machine out for Linux-disto downloads (or any other legally distributed files) and make them force you out.

If you're going to make a fake photo of a TOUCHSCREEN netbook why would you put a useless little track pad below the keyboard?

Everyone knows real developers work on beer, not on Eclipse.
I've always found that "cp" works just fine for me.

Here's how (in theory):

In the words of "Fark": EVERYBODY PANIC!
Last time I checked FF was open source. If you think the code should be optimized you're more than welcome to go do it yourself.

The truth is I'd rather have Hackers run the Government than the current set of politicians. So here's to security flaws and back doors.
