Regarding the preceeding blabber about college being "certification that one is trainable."
Sort of. College is certification of a permanent lack of initiative. That is to say, if you're willing to put up with the educational process that long, you're obviously quite restrained in both action and thought.
So it's no wonder employers get off to degrees and diplomas. After all, they're *employers*! Their work consists exclusively in conditioning productive people, called employees, to act solely on behalf of the company.
That is to say, if the employee were to take any action on his own behalf, the employer's continued welfare would be greatly jeopardized.
And what better place to inculcate unquestioning obedience into a person then a school!
Books are expensive! Really! A distributed model would enable the free distribution of copyrighted works, a good thing considering the insane duration of corporate copyrights - something which greatly impedes the progress of such efforts as the Gutenberg project.
Imagine your favorite book. Now imagine hundreds of millions of people having that book right at their fingertips...
Switch to 320x240 mode for full screen!

that's what I do to get full screen VCD playback. (you probably have a modeline for it in your/etc/XF86Config already) my next hack - make my voodoo3 do tv out in linux at 320x240!
So what, subscribers to this service want to have servers that use a huge (by todays standards, in 5 years we'll be laughing over this shit because we'll all have unlimited BW) amount of bandwidth. So, as a caring, concerned corporation (right?), @home should upgrade their networks to iso warez courior specs (funds-permitting, of course, although I dont think anyone here thinks @home is strapped for cash exactly). Nobody needs 800kbps transfer speeds for web browsing! Those kinds of speeds are for file-transfer, and if files tend to come in the form of warez/porn/mp3s/VCDs, so be it! Cable modem companies sell a relatively expensive product that could only be fully used for large file transfers, and bitch and whine when their paying customers fully use it!

especially those that were taught by very brilliant people.
Hehe! As opposed to what - moderately brilliant! Just your run-of-the-mill brilliant?
I was able to prove that I can think outside the box.
Well good for you, you different-thinking radical. Go watch Easy Rider again.
The money will always be there
Wrong. Rather, the money will be *here*. Not there, as you have been led to believe. Right here.
