One would think that 98% of the people who have DVRs would end up skipping all of the ads they've recorded. After all, that's half the purpose of getting a DVR in the first place, isn't it?
As far as online classes go, they might be better suited for the more independent type of people. If you're the type of person who goofs off/dozes off/doesn't show up during classes, and is still able to pull off an A, online classes wouldn't be bad at all. Self-learners would fit in fine with this sort of environment.
Essentially, it's the same thing online and offline - get assignments, do assignments, read material, take an exam. Only difference is you don't spend 2 hours a day sitting in a classroom and not paying attention.
For whose who aren't self-learners, but learn from others, the lack of the teacher's presence will definitely hurt.
Hmm that "real world" idea is part of the problem right there. In the real world, there's both MS stuff AND *nix stuff. A school that focuses purely on MS is just as detrimental as a school that focuses purely on *nix.
The fellow would be better off spending the $2.4 million on developing methods of teaching students how MS and *nix are related to each other, how BOTH are used in the real world, and familiarizing students with both.
The idea of a contract to remove MS products may help promote OSS, and help fight off monopolies, but it would be very, very bad for the students' futures.
That's right, WarKeyboarding! Boost the signal of your keyboard, and drive around town attempting to control random computers. Not seeing a screen is kind of difficult, but that's only a minor obstacle. Also use a tuned receiver to listen to keystrokes from around town. Passwords galore!
That would make a nifty virus. When it infects a computer, it plays sound through the speakers to attract all sorts of critters. Since the victim can't hear it, they'll never know why.
On a side note, for those of you thinking about war, I suggest you read Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden. Then think again about sending troops out to battle.

So storage space is no longer the big attraction, since everybody can get lots.

I bet the next big thing will be from whoever reaches the 700mb attachment limit
Don't you mean, fixing rounds?
Don't forget, the user has to be made by Microsoft, too.
Or, in this case, the Sopriaanos.
Looks like their webserver is about to receive the biggest scew of all.
So... what video game do you play if you have a fear of video games?

Um, Wheel of Time? He asked for a good summer read, not decade read!
So, when they ship you your cardboard PC box, do they... ship it in a cardboard box? Or just put a stamp on your PC box?

I can see it now:
*bing*You got mail!

That's small. Really small. I'd call it more of a palmtop than a laptop. Looks like they've sucessfully breed a palmpilot/laptop hybrid.
I don't know if you were thinking of this one, but this guy made an MP5 and a Beretta out of Legos. Awesome stuff.

Transferring 20G over USB1.1 would be a pain. Using USB2.0, on the other hand... look here: USB2.0 vs FireWire.
Can't imagine sitting in a jacuzzi for over 2 hours watching a movie... you'd come out looking like a raisin.
I'd pay to play online... if I didn't need to pay for the game at the store. (Download it, etc).
I bet the subject was "MAKE MONEY FAST"

Gee, wouldn't it be funny if they ended up making a better version of Windows than Microsoft?
Woohoo! Banjo's up and running!
Time to celebrate.
The woman couldn't identify her ex. Any wonder why they aren't together any more?
