You're (note apostrophe) in college to *learn*. The degree is secondary. "To get a job" might squeeze into the top 10. If "getting a job" is your goal, ITT is probably what you should be looking at rather than a real college.
There was legislation pending that would put Sec. of HS after AG in the line of succession... justification being that if somehow it needed to go that far, the head of DHS would be better equipped to take over than, say, the head of Urban Development, or of Veterans Affairs.
Yes, because aerodynamic physics has such an application to a cancer cure, so I can easily see how these scientists could have been working on that instead.
One virus. Two or more viruses. No other plural is acceptable.
"Virii" is wrong. "Viri" is wrong. "Viriii" is wrong. "Virodes" is wrong. "Virusen" is wrong. "Viruss" is wrong. "Virus" as the plural is wrong unless you're speaking Latin, and even then it's not really a plural so much as a collective singular noun. ANYTHING THAT IS NOT "VIRUSES" IS WRONG.
I am fully in support of a keyboard that, whenever the letters "v" "i" "r" "i" "i" are typed sequentially, then administers a fatal electric shock to the typist.
I believe he said once in an interview that he wanted his story-OS to have some capabilities that real-life Linux might not have, so he decided to use a completely fictional OS, rather than give a real OS fictional capabilities.

Not sure whatever happened to that though.
exactly.
That's an awesome game, by the way... I found it when you posted in another Slashdot discussion early this year. Fun stuff! :)
Does this mean we can add 'bath tub' to the ISO weights and measures along with VW Beetle, football field and 18 wheel truck?
and "Libraries of Congress"...
Yeah, we still have an armada, too.
Does Civilization train bad world leaders?
:P )
(No jokes about real people, please.
Um, why would "we" "jump at the opportunity" for things like that? If "we" really wanted to, we would have done them in real life, yes?
I have a couple regrets about college, but I certainly do not regret staying as far away from frats as possible.
I still remember when I was just JGTS41C...
:)
:P

I wonder how much valuable memory that's taking up.
"It's claimed by a poster on filefront.com that..."
uh huh. well, it's claimed by a poster on slashdot.org that Natalie Portman pours hot grits down my pants.

I already filtered out the Politics section, but it seems the crap is still leaking out into other sections now too.
This is a ridiculous story, made moreso by the fact that only 5% of the reply posts seem to know what's going on.
What happened to the Slashdot of old?
I, for one, welcome our new genetically-engineered cat overlords.
Yeah, and that "cable" TV? I just get TV for free over the airwaves!
Maybe it'll be more of the same with another President, but somehow, I doubt it.
You seriously think things will change with a different president?
I wish I was as naive as you. Ignorance is bliss, after all.
Now the hard part is convincing everyone that real-life wars are outdated and we should start using the virtual battlefield.
Wasn't there a Star Trek episode about that? If I remember right, Kirk came and convinced them that real war is better, or something.

That's exactly what I was thinking... is the submitter 14 years old or something, and assumes things he can't remember weren't popular?
Didn't you get the memo? Federalism is dead.
I, for one, welcome our strong central government overlords.
exactly! I would be surprised if everyone on that site wasn't doing something similar.
Well, everyone gerrymanders... hell, in Texas, the Dems did it a decade ago, and now that the Reps are in power they want to do it their way.
F9/11, of course.
How about the military absentee ballots also in Florida being discounted? Guess which way *they* lean?
The entire system is corrupt, not just one side.
yeah, I noticed that one after I posted.
Why do we even have editors, if they don't edit?
and you're foundations in OOP is rock-solid
What about our foundations in English?
