Rather absurd...
"Without opportunities like this, most CS students graduate without ever writing anything bigger than an application written in one programming language that runs on a single machine."

Why not? Most large universities have big, heterogeneous environments with Windows, Apple, and several flavors of Unix. As long as machines aren't tyranically locked down there's nothing that stops a student from doing distributed computing.

I seem to remember being *required* to develop some distributed software.

I guess maybe institutional IT is slowly destroying CS.
