Random Hilarity

I started college as a Computer Science major. I dropped it in favor of something more practical, because I was told that there would be no jobs available after the artificial internet bubble of the 90s finally burst (which has already occured). Now there's not enough people enrolled in Computer Science, and many predict a shortfall of qualified workers in the coming decade.

"Hey I've got an idea! Let's tell everyone who takes computer science that they won't be able to get a job! And then after they all shift gears and start to study something else, we'll complain about there not being enough people enrolled in CS degree programs! And then we'll say the solution for all the males who could have been working in the field of Computer Science is to have more females enrolled! That will straighten things out for them!"

FUCKING MORONS. A lot fuss is made about how we could be heading towards economic disaster. With fucking meathead, cocksucking douchebags telling people not to go into a field and then complaining about not enough people being enrolled, the worst that can happen is that we get hit with exactly what we deserve. Enrolling more females is going to do a lot for all the males graduating this year without Computer Science degrees! Some type of asteroid needs to collide with the earth so humanity can reboot.

This is the Xbox 360. Looks better than the horribly designed Xbox, but is also a step back in many ways. No bundled hard drive (although that honestly does make sense considering it should be able to network to much larger PC hard drives), launching with DVD-ROM instead of a next-gen optical format, using memory cards after so many people trumpeted the Xbox for not needing them, probably the dumbest name for a system ever (360 what? You know some focus group tester decided 360 sounds "extreme" and is a higher number than "3" which has to be the dumbest reason for naming a console ever), and it's launching a year too early. Normally I have to convince myself that I don't need the latest piece of kit, but with the juice still left in this generation (there's a lot of great games coming out on PS2 this fall), the games I still have wrapped in plastic, the lack of a Halo game to launch the system (which probably wouldn't matter after the shitfest of Halo 2 anyway), and the fact that it's still too fucking early for the next gen to start, and I won't have a hard time at all passing on this. They're sacrificing the hardware advantage so they can try to jump the gun and release the system early, thereby screwing the consumer out of a year's worth of technological advancements. No thanks.
