I doubt they would raise cost specifically to become ineligible, but I doubt the Ivy League schools are terribly concerned if poor kids can't get a loan to go there.

I had an excellent experience with Walden University. I was able to attend virtual lectures from distinguished professors from Duke to Carnegie-Mellon. The work was at an appropriate level, and I feel like I learned a great deal. Your mileage may vary in different areas (I got my MA in Comp Sci).

Whoa... hold on there! I wasn't saying that they would never have been invented... I'm just saying that spam, ads, etc., have been shown to cause an increase in the speed at which we discover new concepts in programming.

If there were never any need for popup blockers because no one abused them, why would someone go to all the trouble of creating the idea of pop-ins? They are less convenient, less useful, and have more limitations than a standard popup. There are benefits to them too, such as styling the titlebar, adding additional menu items, controlling the overall function of the window (like minimizing to your own method of handling windows, rather than just defaulting to the taskbar), but these benefits would not have spurred the innovation at the speed that popup blockers did, and without popup abuse, popup blockers wouldn't have been created.

Compare the real Walden with modern Doonesbury's Walden and you have a treatise on the condescending joke that is american politics as related to entertainment and education
