I am 44 with 26 years of experience under my belt in the IT field. I went back to school a few years ago and just got an AA. Nothing special, general ed classes and such.
Did it help me?
HELL YES!
Now I didn't learn *anything* new about computers, but I learned that I can get straight A's, double my workload without burning out, be truly successful, enjoy a play or a painting, work and play well with others, meet deadlines and follow instructions, excel at stuff that is dull and uninteresting, dig information out of dead instructors, lead study groups, encourage others, do anything to get the job done, be more than I expected from myself. I also found out a little about some things I never would have studied otherwise. That breadth of knowledge really helps when some user needs an explanation in *his* language.
I quit my stinky job and got another one for three times the salary.
Trust me, go to school. It's never too late. I'll be going back for more. I just hope I'll beat my kids through collage:)
Judge Jackson was even more specific than that. He saw the security risk of having IE in everything.
From paragraph 174 of his finding of fact:
... Microsoft has unjustifiably jeopardized the stability and security of the operating system. Specifically, it has increased the likelihood that a browser crash will cause the entire system to crash and made it easier for malicious viruses that penetrate the system via Internet Explorer to infect non-browsing parts of the system.
The show should go out with a bang. I'd like to see them both get killed off by the bad guys. It would be just like real life where the good guys loose and the powers-that-be win. Kind of fitting for the show.
What if Eve uses a polarizing filter that is not 45 degrees off the signal? What if she uses one that is at zero degrees? Then the photons will either pass through or be denied. Since she will never have a photon with a 50-50 chance of getting through, she will know *all* of the incomming polarizations and can simply retransmit that to Bob.
I'm still a shell user on netcom. When I want that fancy web stuff, I run slirp. If the shell accounts all go away now that Earthlink is here, at least I'll still have shell accounts at home on my Linux boxen any time I want. Maybe, when I need a new provider, I'll even see if DSL is finally available in my neighborhod.
We have always been protective of our work/IP. Those of us who develop free/open software protect it by licensing it under the GPL or other license. Those who write closed source protect it with other copyrights.
What we don't do is grab all of the software out there and claim it as our own.
Amazing. I didn't see this series on Doom until today because my son and I have been *playing* Doom all weekend.
It's still a *great* game. The more so because it can be played multiplayer. Sometimes my wife even joins in! The only other "shoot them up" game she would play was "The Wizard of Wor" on the old Atari because it could be played multiplayer too.

I sure wish I had one of these. If I did I might have been able to get in the first post!
Now I have to decide if I want to wait to get a laptop with one of these on it. Damn.
Free Kevin!
... uh, nevermind. I can't keep this up.
Micro$oft 5ux5!

If M$ wanted to steal a good calculator they would have stolen Calc98 by Flow Simulation.

The usual, not affilated, happy user, blah, blah, blah.
And yeah, its off topic. Sorry.
From paragraph 174 of his finding of fact:
My god! When I heard about this I realized I need to email all my friends! I think I'll post it on a bunch of news groups too!
Important news!
Spammers killed!
Please forward this message to everyone you know!

Of course, I'd like to see another movie too...
I'll miss them.

I must be missing something here.
Yea, I'll turn the lights off if you don't.

Even if we do steal some.
