  1. Solution for the Developers/publishers on Used Game Market Affecting Price, Quality of New Titles · · Score: 1

    co-operative buy out of gamestop and other 2nd hand game outlets. Profit share based on resale frequency and be done with it.

  2. Re:Slashdot effect on When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux In Education · · Score: 1

    What if every Slashdotter that does Linux were to send a variety pack of disks of various Linux distributions to that school?

    Linux would be called the new AOL.

  3. Re:What a tool... on When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux In Education · · Score: 1

    With regards to escalating the battle to administration... how else is AISD admin going to learn about FOSS. Do you think the teacher will see the error of her ways re-educate the school system in what can be done with Linux et. al?

    It was the right thing to escalate the issue.

    #1 The teacher is not a legal representative of the school district (unless it involves the safety of the child) and should direct any /suspected/ illegal activities to admin/legal/or ISD police force.

    #2 Admin has a part to play in educating the teachers and staff on what is allowed on school grounds. Admin also plays a part in hosting inservices(sp?) where teachers/staff will be 'trained' on new policies ie pirating, software use, teaching techniques etc.

    #3 This educator needed to be taken down a notch. If your going to spit off flaming bullet e-mails you better have your facts checked. Justbleepinggoogleit would have saved this teacher a lot of embarrasment.

    403b is similar to 401Ks but the constituents are people who work for the education system and non-profits.

    Sorry, CNBC commercial humor.

    Get the jump on some unposted policies and you have can put together a 2 market positions before the election is complete and enact the gameplan to fit who won the election.

    With the stockmarket volatility some cash can be made if you can confirm a policy decision ahead of the pack.

    There are posters and little signs next to lab macs and PCs at Universities reminding students about copyright violations... asking "Are you legal". This goes for State, Private and community colleges. Library Staff are having training sessions on what is fair use and what is not.

  12. Re:How much were you making in 2003? on Enterprise Software Sales Dried Up In September · · Score: 1

    I'm going to have to disagree. IT should still be in moderate demand. The reason is that institutions have to do even more due diligence and financial reporting and be more transparent than ever.

    As long as your skills are up to date and you can add some refresher courses in finance. More programming is going to be needed for the extra detail that makes up and will need to be available to support the vaules of Mortgage derivatives. As well as more farm servers to crunch all this new data.

    I do agree that the small and medium small business will get creamed.

    This is where an entreupeneur IT Business person can step in an help reduce costs. Advertise free software suite, only charging for install and hardware and you definitely will get some interest once all the de-leveraging trickles down into some liquidity in the small loans area.

    To set the trend. If we show up at airports, lunch spots, on campus and start playing on this platform some one is bound to look over our shoulder. After a certain amount of buzz it's time to get on TV and also get in stores.
