While a lot of people scream that RIAA/MPAA are not keeping up with the times and technology, we are not really any closer to having an entertainment distribution system that takes advantage of available technology to make it convenient for consumers and one which fairly compensates the industry that creates the said content. So I propose starting a discussion, by presenting a scheme that pulls p2p technology and current copyright laws closer together.

Byte Club TV's take on University of Toronto's Computer Science. CS... in video... with pink hippos.

Greg: “One of the things that I think the department has to do, is a better job at reaching out to people to get that message across; is that almost anybody who can program well is pretty much guaranteed an interesting job, that actually does something useful to society.”

Looking back almost a year, I'd just like to say -- I told you so.

It works as follows. When a Bezeq International customer downloads a .torrent file the ISP will intercept it and add (!) a new tracker to it. The additional tracker is only accessible for Bezeq International customers and it connects to a high speed web-seed hosted on Bezeq International’s network.

I find this conflicting: Video games are often the driving force for kids to pursue Computer Science, and yet shipped games are often not perceived as software. Maybe the quality, integration, and user experience really is better than across other industries;

though unless the development process goes through the incredibly expensive steps of validating a safety-critical system, there will likely be some bugs left.

It is unreasonable to take everything posted on forums or blogs as facts.

But since people are beginning to realize that what they say, or what is said about them, online, could actually matter, the above is ignored in favour of bullshit threats in a futile attempt at censorship.

While Software Engineering vs. Computer Science does have it's technical differences, there are also some differences that take place outside of the lecture halls.

Since University is as much about the experience of attending as the material learned, it might be a good idea to consider the overall package being offered.
