5/21    [reposting.  I'm not the OP, but I found the article informative.
         why censor this?]
         \_ Hmmm. Boring?

        "Computing's Lost Allure"
        \_ Because it was boring and had nothing to say?  Because it is just
           going to be yet another excuse to increase H1b numbers and export
           more IT jobs to India and there's nothing you can do about it?
           What did you find so informative about it?  That kids who thought
           getting a CS degree was worth a million dollars like the 19 y/old
           idiot quoted in the article are now moving on to other fields where
           they won't get a million dollars either?
           \_ ignorant fool!  all those biotech jobs washing dishes for
              35k/year will lead to billions of dollars in stock options
              any day now!  just you wait.
