  Internship searching
So the search has started for an internship for the summer. Since school doesn't end until May 18th, I've got some time but I've been searching around for the last few days and have found some interesting positions that seem to fit my skillset well.

From the blog of Diane-d, here is an interesting article she pointed to regarding software that lets programmers code without their hands. This is exactly what I think I need because my mind will never forget semi-colons. They just get lost on the way to the keyboard most of the time I think.

I'm continually amazed by the lengths that media companies are going to protect their media from piracy. From the blog "Inside the Mind of a Nerd"...

There's new legislation going to Congress very soon to expand the DMCA that would make the maximum penalty ten years for software and music piracy, which is worse than for child pornographers or assaulting a cop. What's worse is that if you even have the ability to circumvent their anti-copyright protection mechanisms, you could face this prison sentence, and they're allowed to use wiretapping to track you down.


Does it seem like they're going too far with this?

I'm glad that someone got something out of my fiery little post damning the RIAA =P

Some advice: start searching for your internship in like December or January. Many of the best companies that usually recruit down here have already filled up their positions now, or just have a couple left maybe from people who have turned them down.

Good luck with your search! Hope you find something!
