...but will it improve service from companies as well? Some companies charge exhorbitant fees for "service" and when the fhit hits the san, it's not all that groovy anymore...
But in my experience, experience is better than just "book smarts." Nothing beats real, hands-on work.
It depends on what you're looking to get into, of course - management level usually requires college, but in this industry overall, I would say college is highly overrated.
Sounds like they're doing a bit of supply and demand pricing perhaps. Don't forget, most things on Amazon are below the printed price on the cover, so there's got to be a margin that they work within...
Naw, the Unix boxen worked perfectly - that wasn't my complaint, since we had anywhere from one to about a dozen Linux machines, and they all worked totally plug-n-play.
It was the Windows machines that needed software installed to provide an LPR driver to Windows!
The Xerox printers didn't support the SMB/NetBEUI protocol. They may have updated their software in the meantime, I don't know.
Ahhh, okay - yeah, that makes perfect sense. I was going to say, if they (the universities) can't look at the whole product then it's kind of silly unless you can specifically say, "yes, this part is okay, rather than the "rubber stamp" as was quoted - that they're after. I certainly wouldn't want any part of that either.
Interesting though, that this can be used like a carrot to dangle grant money in front of a university's face.
I won't even start on the American education system...;>
I don't watch all that much TV to begin with, other than the usual trio of Discovery/History and TLC channels - but more so, I haven't listened to the radio in ages. Way too many ads, and the "top 40" format, regardless of music genre is out of control.
Besides... Have you ever listened to radio stations in New York? Good God, man. You'd think that one of the world's hippest places would have some decent radio stations. They all suck, save for the college radio stations which at least have some unique and interesting content that doesn't repeat on the hour every hour. Props to Boston and Washington - which both have awesome stations, somewhere around the 99.something area.
Long live Napster. As long as I can find something online or borrow it from a friend, the music gestapo that is RIAA and MPAA can kiss my ass! They're not getting a penny more of my money, thank you.

Granted, it's going a little too far at this point...
Of course, with proper management, you can help to avoid a lot of these issues. Just pay attention - and be careful!
Once you get the cash - you can purchase anonymously... I wasn't talking about the conversion itself, just commenting on the comment above.
...That's where. :)
How will this effect online banking and accounting? You would have to tie this "anonymous" account number to YOUR account...

Or a blessing of the sacred code. :)
See, had this been GNU/Python, there wouldn't have been any trouble at all... ;>
Did the license change between versions? And does this effect the 2.x series as well?
I was under the impression that one such country was doing exactly this - an island somewhere...

Is it just me or does that site crash Netscape under Linux? Every time I try to load the page... Kaboom!
WTF? This is about BERTELSMANN... You know, the TOPIC of this entire discussion!
Airlines do exactly the same thing. You could be paying twice as much or half as much as the person sitting next to you...
Err, what culture would that be, Jon? Yours?
For "bulk pricing" at a place like Amazon, you'd be surely talking HUGE volume, no less. Not 20, not 100 - probably more into the hundreds or more.

Several documents on the Carnivore system and what it does:
Statement for the Record on Internet and Data Interception Capabilities Developed by FBI presented by Donald M. Kerr, Assistant Director FBI Laboratory Division to the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the Constitution.
The Carnivore System: the FBI's own report on it.
Open Internet Wiretapping: a paper by Steve Bellovin and Matt Blaze.
Does that mean we're due for a nice "nuclear winter" type event? I hope so - I'm ready for snowboarding season to begin here on the East coast! :)
