One key difference is the retailer gets all the money up front rather than having to wait for you to actually buy something. In that sense it's more like a gift card than a coupon.
Are you using Chrome? If so, you might check the bug report at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=65941.
I think the lesson to learn here is that there is no such thing as a "free market" - all markets are constrained to some degree by the regulations that shape them. Markets are human creations just like languages, and the rules around them are designed either consciously or passively.

When you let special interest groups define the rules, they tend to define them in their own favor. In the modern industrial state, corporations have discovered a very successful tactic of evading conscious interference by proclaiming their desire for "free markets" and then lobbying behind the scenes to tilt markets in their favor.

When people wake up to this reality and smart businesspeople like those on HN stop pretending that a "free market" is some god-given natural state of affairs, then we will be able to level the playing field for small businesses against the corporate interests. Smart regulations are important to avoid abuse of power.
College will teach you lots of useful stuff outside of programming etc. I use my Berkeley education everyday via critical thinking, researching competitors/markets etc, presenting confidently, writing, argumentation and slicing through rhetoric etc. It would be naive to think that you can run a startup successfully by simply banging on a keyboard.
But the industry has nothing to do with computer science.
In computer science we have algorithms and abstractions and plenty of real math in computer science.

You are ranting about the art of making people make computers do something. Which is a social science, although a not well developed one, and is not computer science.
The UT ECE department does a pretty good job trying to remedy this, but ends up having the opposite problem. Yale Patt's EE306, Intro to Computing, takes the class from transistors up to assembly on a simplified architecture.

Intro to Programming helps students get their feet wet in C and the subsequent Data Structures and Algorithms courses are entirely Java. Intro to Microcontrollers is C and assembly.

Here's where UTECE falls flat, with respect to startups. After getting a decent foundation in "Real Programming", further specialization in tools useful for web startups (php/ruby/jquery) is left as an exercise to the student. Case in point, I'm a 3rd year Comp. E and I have yet to hear the word "database" uttered in a classroom.

A web apps class doesn't even have to be good. I would take it just to meet other hackers who are probably self-taught by now anyway.
Really, I wasn't aware? Do you have link as reference?
Actually the core of XMPP is fairly small - an XMPP server need not implement every extension ever conceived of. Given that it's widely deployed, solves the presence and federation, and is implemented in a wide variety of languages, I think the GP is right.

The only real nit that I see is with mobile devices - XMPP isn't great for low power low bandwidth situations.

If you can handle, go for it! But if after a while you'll think that lisp is not so different from the other languages after all, it's probably because you tried to learn too many things at once. In that case, persist. :-)
