My school has a well-respected career development center that is very connected to the corporate world and alums. Perhaps your school had a career center also, but didn't advertise very well. Just a thought...
First off, the differences between a public and a private university cannot be tossed aside. When you're not just a number, but a well-embraced member of an intimate community of learning, the experience can be amazingly more valueable.
If they're that concerned about other people "copying" the look of their desktop, perhaps they're a bit too shallow and consider the aesthetic aspects of MacOS its best attribute.
I didn't know you read comments (or just the ones about articles you post?). That's cool, as well as the fact that you can admit when you make a mistake every once in awhile.
I don't actually pay all that from my own pockets, though. I have many thousands of dollars of scholarship money (per year), as well as a small loan or two. I also chip in a bit because my parents didn't want to pay 100% of the costs. I'm not rich (yet;-)
This is exactly why you may notice such rules prohibiting certain bit resolutions of encryption from being exported from the United States to other countries.
On the surface it sounds reasonable, but in a day where a file can be transmitted between two different continents in real-time, I'm not sure those old-school rules are even helpful anymore.
So, let's blame Babbage for the computer, Ford for the everyday automobile, Bell for the telephone,...
Everyone's been lashing-out at the wrong people lately (all Islamics, Zimmerman,...). They just don't know where to direct their anger. But as long as we know they're not justified, it's not so bad.
I'm not sure why you'd ask that question on Slashdot. Most of us run an OS that we like to tinker with for practical reasons, or, yes, just for the hell of it.
Yeah, but what good is the hardware if you can't see the graphics...well, that is unless you're playing on the planet Mercury, which should have *just about* enough brightness to light-up the GBA's screen;-)
I also noticed (albeit a less-relevant mistake) that the color prescribed for non-affected buildings is white in the legend, but on the actual images, those buildings are colored gray. Sure, no big deal, but you'd think that a relatively "scientific" chart wouldn't have such a glaring mistake.

Yeah, I think I read that in some Isaac Asimov story about 50 years ago;-)
Not to be a stickler, but a GUI is a Graphical User Interface. Emacs, for one, has a nice, albeit simple, user interface with menus and such (although, yes, there is an emacs version that's console-based). The term you probably meant was WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), which is often used to describe HTML editors where you drag and drop pictures and links (ala Front Page) rather than hand coding the entire page (ala Pico, Notepad, etc).

On the bright side, at least I use Linux :-)
We're all busy trying to beg, steal, beg, or borrow the new StarOffice beta 6.0 ;-)
256K of RAM? 640K is all you'll ever need, so you're pretty well-off! ;-)
Thanks for making a note of my typographical error, Coward.

You could, quite possibly, be the most unintelligent nimrod ever to post on Slashdot. Get a friggin' clue.
Sweet :-D

'Cause it's my camera :-D
Don't you mean
HARD DISK DRIVE - HDD
and
HIGH DEFINITION - HD
?
That is, after all, where the 2 `D's come in.

$100? Heh, that's not much off of my school's sticker price of over $32,000/year. Screw the annoying ads if they're not going to pay any real dough.

This 2.25MB pdf will surely be inaccessible in a few minutes. I've mirrored it at http://ekrout.resnet.bucknell.edu/mirrored.pdf.
Do it.

Do you like owning your software, or would you rather it own you?
Just a thought, not a sermon.
