Watermarking video sent out through the dsl modem of your home network is watermarked.
Ok I can accept that. In a perfect world this would be a legitimate compromise,
however with recent events (illegal wire taps, Patriot Act, ect...) how long do you think it would be
for this to be a new tool in fighting terrorism by marking every packet you send out having it directly linked
to you.
The beauty of the internet is the anonymity and this would put an end to it.
I can see it now, people having rants and raves (venting) they made on some blog being used against them
in a court of law....
I have taken many college classes that where a waste of my time going. Most Instructors are to busy living the PHD lifestyle to care about undergrads.
Example:
A CS instructor who till this day continues to use an overhead projector, with slides written in his sloppy handwriting. I guess he is to busy to update his 80's slides.
This is at an IT school......PowerPoint?
One of the biggest benefits of going to class is usually the questions posed by other serious students. This would not be obtained through pod casts of lectures without any students attending.
One final thought...
All a degree shows is that for 4 years (at least for undergrad) you can do what you're told. A desirable trait in corporate America for its low level employees in sector 7G.
