Cryptography, 'math magic', chaos theory, whatever.... as you come to stuff you don't understand, study that in enough detail to undertand our main-interest item.
That'll keep you motivated when the stuff gets way too boring.
On the down side, in the end you won't get a sheepskin AND you won't have what others consider a 'well rounded', and your mathematical education will not conform to a 'well grounded pegagogy'. Whatever TF that means. Your knowledge will also have not been rigorously tested.... lots of cons.
Another approach, see which universities have put up their syllabi and follow that.
I bet a full billing system will cost more money than they recover from the 'hogs'
A full billing system, with full data collection for usage will set you back tens of millions.
Interesting that 'they' never mention the cost benefits of flat rate, isn't it?
Anyway, here in Canada (southern Ontario at least) we've had a couple of companies try to offer flat rate long distance ('long distance' restricted to within the 'corridor', Windsor to Montreal/Ottawa. All of them went tits up. They saved a lot on not having to have a billing system, but 'the hogs' supposedly ripped out their margins.
That was the standard story, but I knew a couple of people working at those companies, and they felt the cause was government mis-regulation and bad management.
You're looking for 'pinning' or 'the sticky bit', the ability to tell the OS,
"load this executable image in memory and keep it there, next time someone asks for this program use the loaded image, DO NOT LOAD A NEW IMAGE from disk"
This was a manual optimization for early UNIXes. I don't think any modern UNIX uses the sticky bit in this way because that's an optimization that naturally falls out of the page aging algorithms.
The corporations have the huge, unfair advantage of having a large staff of lawyers ready to sue our butts off, suits that most of the citizenry are incapable (financially) of fighting. Maybe we should have some offsetting advantages as well.
with IDE you have to kludge a lot and it's never reliable ( in my experience)
With SCSI external-device connection was _always_ given equal consideration in the protocol and feature designs.
With LVDifferential scsi you can get 25M !!! I always wondered why the Beowulf people used simple network cards instead of doing a faster IP over SCSI layer for Linux. That would have been sweet, faster than gigabit at far lower cost ( we're talking 5 to 6 years ago, where gigabit was extremely expensive and SCSI was becoming very cheap.)
Do you people not read Lawyerpoint? Rogan is working in the background to get most of CBDTPA accepted without passing CBDTPA (through voluntary standards-setting, but with that legislation hanging around in the air, how much of the tech industry's involvement is 'voluntary' and how much is 'I will participate to prevent a worse disaster')
The first implementation of this kind of thing was 1994, Stride Micro.
This is now a pretty common tool for the disabled (someone correct me, is it now 'differently enabled?) usually combined with a rubber bulb that fits in your mouth for 'puffing' mouse clicks .
Problem is, the volumes are so low for that market (or are the companies gouging?) that these units are like $1000 US each. How was Stride able to produce a unit with 1984 technology for less than $200 and these clowns need to charge disabled people $1000?

Draw your own conclusions.

That is so 60s.
Remember that "Sci Fi" was a term invented by some megacorp marketroid to sell lameass movies in the early 70s.

What was my stuff is now our stuff.
In return for this gift, I ask that if you improve our stuff it remains our stuff.

Did you ever sign the DMCA?
I never signed the Geneva Convention, I still have to follow it... oh, wait a second,
George Bush didn't either, so I guess that's OK
