I went to a community college(maybe different from Uni) but my course in hardware troubleshooting had me in front of a PC for a few hours each class period. The week leading to the final we tore down a box. We were expected to put it back together correctly. These PCs weren't fresh out of the box either. We were given orphaned and sometimes corpse PCs that the school's IT dept swapped out. The final did include a written portion, but it was largely based on getting the PC put back together, running an updated OS and using the latest drivers
Im not much of a programmer. I've only got a few java and c++ classes under my belt(oh and COBOL) so i dont know much about these things. Is it even possible to patent an app for iGadgets? Some, if not all of your app will make use of Apple's libraries and other such elements of their closed ecosystem. Doesn't that make a patent irrelevant?
I worked for a local metroPCS retailer in the Philadelphia market about a year ago. I know the landscape has changed drastically(they got their first 2 "smartphones" right before i quit) in such a short time, but i really dont see how they could be a player in the 4G market at all. The infrastructure here could barely support the EDGE service. Voice quality was hit and miss most of the time, let alone trying to use any sort of data. I do have to give it up to them for having cheap "all you can eat" plans though. You get what you pay for though
This request doesnt fit your typical "doom and gloom" suicidal attitude. Currently his unavoidable and untimely death can help patients in need of the organs. He realizes that, and he wants to benefit said patients. If he waits his organs will be spoiled by his condition
I do understand the argument that death is unavoidable for everyone. We all will die. $deity willing, it will be an age appropriate affair and we will have accomplished what we wanted to accomplish. This guy wont have that opportunity, and he knows it. He's going to spoil. Let him go before then, so he can help people
I studied 2 years at my local community college, and the experience was rather interesting. I attended some classes where the discussion was heavy and student input was valued by the professor. I feel i received the most out of such classes. The curriculum for my major(Networking Technologies) was fairly basic stuff that I had seen previously. If a teacher had simply spewed a lecture or read from a presentation I wouldnt have attended class, Most of my IT courses used a CMS, so i could log in from home to get the lecture or the presentation. Basically, the teacher did not provide anything I couldn't have gotten on my own. Students participating in the discussion was a completely different animal though. It taught me a lot, because it forced different interpretations of the material.
Of course, there were classes that the professor did nothing but spew lecture. Unfortunately thats unavoidable.
I had only taken one online course in my two years at the college, and it was a complete waste of my time. The title of the course was "Interpersonal Communications." It was the only section that the college offered when i needed the course. For anyone outta the loop, interpersonal means person-to-person. I understand that times are changing and tech allows us to communicate around the world as if we are face to face. This course didn't lend itself to that though. The materials should have been taught in a classroom. In addition to that, the assignments were nothing more than "busy work." Anyone remember that from grade school? Your teacher calls in sick, so a substitute gives you work that means absolutely nothing. Yeah, that was this course.
Anyways, the OP asks about taking unnecessary courses. At the community college a program exists just for this purpose. My school called it Credit By Exam(CrEX) For select courses, a student can be given what is, essentially, the course final. If you pass the exam you're given the earned credits and exempt from the course.The test still costs money, but for my school it was about 40% of the tuition for the class, and you save about 15 weeks of invaluable time. You might look into a similar program for your school. It might not apply to all of the courses you are capable of skipping, but it just may get you out of the most basic intro courses. I was able to skip Intro to Information Systems(starts by teach the student how to power on a machine) and Intro to Windows and DOS Concepts(a course that started with basics of windows GUI and ended with writing simple batch files)
That wasn't really the point, but i've got hydrocephalus. The cranial shunt does the trick most of the time, but the doctors just cannot get it right. Im in and out every few months, but the hospital is a second home.
On with the discussion folks. Nothing more to see here.
In my 22 years i've been i the hospital as much as i have been at home. Docs have tried just about every medical grade adhesive for the different bandages i've needed. So far nothing works for more than an hour before some nasty skin irritation. Even OTC bandages need to come off fairly quickly. I've learned to deal with even the biggest of needles though, so its not an issue anymore.
For those who are candidates for this patch some of the nastiest shots(MMR and Gardasil) can be administered pain-free. However, i wonder how wide of scope these can cover. The article(yes, i RTFA) does not mention whether this can me used to inject medications that are typically injected into muscle areas. In any case, this looks promising, but i dunno how far they will get. We will find out "in 5 years"
wouldnt this mean its safe to ingest more than the reported levels? That's not necessarily a good thing, but it does take a bit of the sensationalism out of the story
I was always under the impression that this tech was dependent on a specific projector. Wouldn't that mean that the TV would have to support it?
The projector alternately projects right-eye frames and left-eye frames 144 times per second.[6] It circularly polarizes these frames, clockwise for the right eye and counterclockwise for the left eye. A push-pull electro-optical liquid crystal modulator called a ZScreen is placed immediately in front of the projector lens to switch polarization. -- Wikipedia entry
I only subscribe to news services through twitter(yes RSS is probably better) and i have noticed that i dont get as many stories as i have gotten in the past. I havea google gadget that updates every 3mins, so i doubt im pushing any limits, but theyre screwing me anyways:(
Its not just that though. Whwn bugs are found in open-source software they can be easily dealt with. If a bug is found within proprietary software you'd have to wait for the next patch or update...and that can take time.

Lobbying just isnt lobbying unless there are huge sums of money being tossed around. Am I right?
a public official doesn't want to be contacted by the public? No one likes to hear the peasants out. Where's the story here?

Give the guy an evaluation and if he isnt deemed crazy or suicidal grant him his wish. His decision is rational enough
