And it NEVER will. Grade matter only to those _in_ school. Even if you go to grad school, getting in will be the last time anyone cares.

After that, it's about what you have done and know about the real world.

The file system isn't writing data it claims to have written, that means it's deliberately lying, which is different then a bug.

The "web 2.0" idea that being right most of the time doesn't cut it in the real world. People may put something more important then a tweet on a file system.

Optimize the reads all you want, but those writes better damn well happen before the calls that say data is written return.

Folding@home is at 1.007 PFLOPS of just ATI GPUs :)

(which is an entirely different sort of "computer", but still)

There will never be any Software Engineering taught in a CS dept. No way would a Computer Science professor EVER teach such a base, primitive, and unrefined subject such as those dregs in engineering do. Let the $10/hr guys in India do that. Writing code, how insulting!

So... that about sums that up doesn't it. Here anyway, the Software Engineering course is out of I think the Mechanical Engineering department. No CS major would be caught dead taking it tho - it involves teams ;)

Modern Software engineering has NOTHING to do with CS. Once you realize that, you're 99% of the way there. Some colleges now have Software Engineering departments. Hire those students or just an engineer that knows the problem domain, and teach them to code.

Now, just make a certain highly corrupt organization charge less then several years revenue for a IPv6 address block.

Wait, you though just because there are 2^64 blocks they aren't trying to make 2^128 dollars off of them?

It's about the money, your ISP cannot possibly afford an address allocation, so you're not getting IPv6.

Today from Google, the god of all things and doer of all things good in the universe, many millions of dollars in computer equipment were able to sort lots of things, in about the amount of time you would think it would take for millions of dollars of equipment to sort things.

In other news, a woodchuck was found chucking wood as fast as a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Congrats Google, you have a HUGE data set, and an even bigger wallet.
