I was not trying to make the point that you could get a "degree" from MIT. I was saying you can get MIT knowledge and with that knowledge get "MIT certified". Believe me if this becomes popular its only a matter of time before theres MIT+ cerfication or some whole group of certs.
MIT+ or anything similar would be an infringement on the MIT name. Furthermore, numerous standardized tests already exist that do what any tests over the MIT OCW would cover (see: GRE, etc.)

[i]MIT administrators and professors are quick to note that the Web is no substitute for the experience of learning in a top-tier academic setting. "OpenCourseWare is a snapshot of the way a particular subject in a particular discipline was taught at one period in time at MIT," says project director Margulies. "It isn't an MIT education."[/i]
You can't get a MIT degree without attending MIT.
Resume 1: MIT Resume 2: Community college, but I looked at some of that opencourseware stuff.
Who gets hired? The article talks about what you say, all you have to do is actually read it
All this success has bred a few problems. For starters: profiteering. I show Margulies an email from Thailand. "A group of us here are considering opening a University devoted solely to 'e-learning courses from MIT!'" writes the sender, who says he hopes to offer "Bachelor of Science degrees in MIT Studies."
"He can't do that!" she shrieks.
Soon, the budding entrepreneur is sent a stern reply stating the guidelines: People are free to use, modify, translate, and distribute OpenCourseWare as long as they don't try to make a buck from it.
Read the article? There is no debate, the answer is no.
Somehow the PhD program elevates the undergrad program?
Or maybe the best programs that offer a doctorate coincidentally are better for undergrad because they just happen to have superior teachers and more resources. There doesn't have to be a cause-and-effect based simply on degrees offered.
My advice for SAT takers is to be sure to take the ACT also. I scored 1370 on my SAT 1 (710 V 660 M) but a 33 on the ACT, both with one try. The SAT score is decent, but the ACT score is excellent. The ACT, no surprise, is the superior test IMO:)
Sun contends Microsoft sabotaged its Java software in order to fend off a threat to its Windows monopoly. It has asked Motz to impose the "must-carry" Java provision to remedy Microsoft's antitrust violations.

No one would make a significant profit on a modchip designed only for using Linux.
95%, at least, of modchips are used for backing up games/getting around regional protection/playing warez copies, and a defense for that type of usage (esp. warez) would not be feasible imho.
AIM and ICQ are both owned by AOL. ICQ is the original IM. And at one point was the most poular. There have occasionally been UNIX knockoffs, like the vastly inferior command line "talk" implementation, however it was incapable of letting you know whne new users had signed on, also, it could not do file transfers.
It's interesting talk can be a knockoff of ICQ when talk came first.

>>This lack of responsibility on the part of proprietary software developers is one of the main selling points of open source software.
Open source developers are more responsible than closed source developers? Could you please tell me why?
If it's open source, I myself or any number of other people can choose to fix it. With closed-source only the original developers can fix it, and that's if the company which controls the software allows them to, and then allows subsequent publication of said fix.

This is a game that manages to involve you on every level, and even in the world of role-playing games, it has a rare amount of depth.
If all the quests were the same, it hardly has depth. There's the main storyline, then 13 houses/guilds you can join with quests, and many others. You're wrong, of course.
umm.. it says any operator of a commercial Internet web site or online service that has as its principal or primary business the making available of material that is harmful to minors
what this means is.. make a porn site for adults. that material is considered harmful to minors.
it's primary business therefore is making available said material... which is considered harmful to minors.
you're reading it as if it says the material is primarily marketed towards youngsters, which it does NOT imply in its wording
i might not have explained it well enough, but hopefully the point is understood.

I wonder how the amount of money spent on legal fees compares to the $$ lost from just allowing mod chips? Is this just a principle thing?
A major corporation doing something out of principle? lol.
It's about $$, like everything else.
It's hardly a new trend.
.NET for an example. This type of "ownership" system has been in the works for a long time, unfortunately.

Morrowind of course has over 500 hours of gameplay. 'An editor and a few quests'... pfft.
You can be sure I'll be spending my previous school hours playing this game. WOOPEE! I've been waiting sooo long :)
