I have to agree. I'm a computer engineer at the University of Illinois. It's the computer engineers that are doing the lower level development. I've had extensive systems programming (in assembly and c) and every CE here makes both an OS and a 16-bit processor. CS students don't see that stuff unless they elect to take it.
I haven't seen a speck of java (or even c++) in my ECE (Electrical & computer engineering) courses, but that's all I've used in my CS courses. Furthermore, I have a lot of friends in CS that know very little about what the actual computers are doing on a bitwise level. (I had to help one of them work on bit masking last weekend.)
If you're looking for embedded people don't look at CS, look at CE.
The top speed currently available through FiOS is 50 megabits per second, but the network already is capable of providing 100 mbps
I always thought the trend was towards faster, newer, better, but apparently getting 100 millibits per second is the new goal! Err, wait, is Verizon filling in for zonk?
There is nothing stopping you from using all.mp3's in your iTunes library. It's just the consumers buying a blade that'll only work on one razor- not the other way around.
Simple solution, don't buy the razor. But if you buy your music from Apple, don't complain about it- there are plenty of other ways to buy music out there, and Apple was straight-forward with their DRM from the beginning. (It's not like they're Sony)

You probably can't set it to 4.9 GHz because that's only for emergency responder types. (Gov't only)

DRM sucks but this is the wrong move.
Yeah, but if we get rid of Bush, Cheney takes over...Its a vicious cycle.
