At the uni in Oslo (Norway) there are plenty of low level programming courses. I've taken a few C (no plus plus) course with plenty of bit shifting. There is a course with a lot of assembly, you get to write a converter for UTF8 in assembly working with a lot of shifting on the registers. Then there is a course where you develop an OS and one where you work with multi-core architectures.
And I also feel that that guy in the article should have grey hair. It would give more weight to his argument.

And try paying more...that way you'll be able to attract the guys who can program both lower level and higher level ;)
