OK gang, how many times did I say over the last umpteenth months that I was a hobbyist?

Computers is my hobby, and I am mulling a CS minor (figure that one out).

If not for the elections and the impact it had on me, I probably would be a CS major.

A few that I can remember

Maybe you can become a competant patent lawyer

Well, I'm transferring colleges again in the fall--U of WI-Milwaukee.

I'm hoping they'll have a LUG on campus (one would think--with a campus of over 25k students).

Plus, I only know of one other Linux user on campus--and IIRC, he's out at the end of the semester as well.

I've been mulling Constitutional Law, Business (Corporate) Law, and Criminal Law. Though I have at least two years before I enter law school.

I'm figuring at the bare minimum, a CS minor can help me stay ahead of the curve technologically, apply technology when I can into my trade, and inspire my hobby.

Of course, I've also been looking at civil service, military service, and holding office.

I'm at a two-year college.

I transferred 30 cr. last summer to said two-year college. I receive my Associate's degree in August. (Have to take summer Astronomy course--couldn't take it this semseter because I'm already on overload.)

So because of this, the natural progression is to go from the two-year campus to a four-year school within the Univ. of WI system.

This is likely going to be my final switch.

And no, Cal-Berkeley is waaaaaaay overrated, IMO. If I could pick which school I want to go to (money not being a factor), it'd probably by U of M, Marquette, or Mich. State.

Well I just thought since there are sooo many copyleftists and cybercommunists there, you did seem really enthused by the words.

Yep, exactly why they have a new open source agency. Designed to sap American income and profits everywhere it can, like every time you hand out one of those foreign cd's you were just bragging about with "MadIvan".

Oh my God! We're DOOMED!

You really are in love with the text of your own posts. Did I not just say that posting to me achieves contra to what it is you want?

Let's put it another way - you're a prat. My instinct, along with many others, is to do the precise opposite of what prats like or want. In the case of Open Source, it's actually been a beneficial experience. If you don't want others to have this experience, shut up.

If you don't shut up, then we know you're actually an Open Source spy, and we can say with confidence, you're doing a good job. :)

Just because a few moths are attracted to the flame doesn't mean the owls don't know better.
