  1. Excelsior College on Fast Track to a CS Degree? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Excelsior 'www.excelsior.edu' may have what you need. I got me degree, non-computer related, through them. No classroom time, just challenged courses. Before I'm flamed on this, it is a legitimate college under the State of NY and is an accredited college. It is not a diploma mill. Their degrees can be used for entrance into a masters program. Good luck!

  2. Worse than Pearl Harbor on World Trade Towers and Pentagon Attacked · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Talking with a Pearl survivor about these acts of terrorism I got the comment that this was worse than Pearl. At least there the targets were military. Here they majority of the deaths are civilian. Hope we (US Gov't) has the cohones to adequately retaliate, make it obvious that terrorism against us is just to damn expensive to try again. Suspect that we won't and as a result will suffer repeated terroristic acts in the future.

  3. Re:Slashdot warez kiddies on AOL Snuffs Napster-Workalike Gnutella · · Score: 1

    I enjoy buying my music...but I have a hard time finding what I like in the local stores. By downloading various tracks I can find out if the artist/music is what I'm looking for...then I can buy the appropriate CD without worrying about whether or not I'll enjoy the sound. That's the best of all worlds...I get what I want, if a middleman supports the artist it gets paid and the artist gets paid. In many cases, if it hadn't been for the ability to download tracks I wouldn't have been able to buy the CD...wouldn't have known about the artist/CD involved. Granted there's a lot of piracy involved...but there's a lot of people buying as well.
