The university I once worked for did this to most of the IT department. Everyone was stuck with the title "Network Analyst", and the only part of the job description that had anything to do with the actual job was the phrase "Other duties as required".

He should be required to reference it as Honoris Causa Slash Doctor

You are clearly wrong. The Cat is neither alive nor dead, and heralds the birth of the zombie apocalypse. Run while you still can!

Microsoft hired the VMS developers to write Windows NT, so technically that part happened too. Many intrusions are about as hard as knocking on a door too, so overall i think it is pretty accurate.

Those might just be the people who thought it was the silly option, but were disappointed that it didn't say: "It's over... 9000".

I thought his cat already had a point and click interface. The button is on the laser pointer.

There's a missing option:

"I'm stuck at McMurdo, you insensitive clod!"

I do not happen to be one of those people, but I'm sure that the people at the pole who read slashdot would have liked their own more accurate option.

The answer really depends on several things, but she should start by looking at what she is good at and what she enjoys doing. Trouble is, for kids coming out of high school, they may or may not really know either one of those things yet. I knew right off that I enjoyed writing computer programs (taught myself Basic and some C during high school), so I went for a CS degree for system programming in college, and ended up working as a sysadmin. My wife was the opposite, and didn't find out that she enjoyed working in health care until having to get a "real job" after a couple really bad years of college. I also have a nephew who spent almost 8 years in college, switching majors (and sometimes colleges) every semester for the first 5 years until he found a passion for social work.

If she doesn't have a specific field that she is interested in, but she does want to go to college, I would recommend she pick a degree program that offers an Associates degree mid-way through, (or just go for an Associates of General Studies,) in order to make it easier to get a job or switch colleges halfway through, should the need arise. (In other words: be prepared.) If she wants to go into a field where she would need an advanced degree such as a Masters or PhD, I recommend picking a university that offers the advanced program she wants for her Bachelors' degree, as they often offer automatic acceptance to students who received their undergrad from them, and also may offer dual grad-school credit for some advanced undergrad classes.

With regards to books recommending one avoid studying computer science, I have one statement: We have not reached the Singularity yet, and if nobody studies computer science, how are we supposed to get there?

No, it's silent Bob. J is rather talkative.

"Don't be evil" =/= "Don't be an asshole"

KVM...

Keyboard? AT keyboard. check.

Video? VGA. check.

Mouse? serial mouse. check.

... so technically yes. Or is that not the KVM you expected?

Pigs are not vegetarian, so pig eats vegetarian human?

You logic may be faulty. An increase in height of a continental shelf relative to the center of mass of the earth should cause decrease in the depth of the nearby ocean basins, and so a localized decrease in the size of the ocean basin surrounding that continental shelf, which would effectively increase the water displacement of the continent.

Disclaimer: I am not a geologist, so my logic may also have faults.

My F's go to 11. (keyboard is missing a key)

Base pi, of course.
