The ou is extremely well regarded. In computer science research for example they are considered at least as equals with traditional brick and mortar institutions....and no, I have no affiliation with them:)
Its a good thing that everyone seems to be clairvoyant and understand how the OP *can* indeed fit it in to his current schedule when he says he can't. Maybe he has a 100 hour a week job, a demanding girlfriend, 200 kids or all three....and "interest" doesn't mean you give up sleep. Perhaps if he was interested in two things he should give up eating as well.
Reasonable question asked - with reasonable parameters - unreasonable dissection.
While we understand very well the drawbacks of Opa not being Object-Oriented (at least not in the usual meaning of the term), there are several reasons for this choice. The first and most important of these reasons is that experience from 15+ years of experienced developers writing scalable systems with Object Oriented Programming Languages, and concluding that OO is not the right paradigm for the task, and that other paradigms need to be hammered upon OO languages to make them scalable
More experience would tell you that these technologies evolved organically to meet a rapidly changing market need - thats why they were "bolted on" to also-emerging OO server-side platform. There was no attempt at central planning. A single cohesive OO approach could just be as scalable.
We decided to choose a paradigm not on its popularity, but rather on its suitability for the task of writing highly-scalable, highly-secure, highly-dynamic web applications. This paradigm is comparable to that of Erlang or Scala.
Uhhh the Java lesson, which like it or not is widely adopted demonstrates the opposite. Erlang and Scala at the moment remain in the realm of the hobbyist or bleeding edge experiment - Java saw rapid widespread adoption because it was so similar to the oh-so popular C++ - it both syntax and semantic terms.
Is there some reason MS Word or OpenOffice + stylesheets aren't up to the task? It sounds like you might be overcomplicating things.
I totally agree. Wrote my computer science PhD in word with no problems. IMHO LaTex is the right tool for the job if you have lots of equations, and unless his PhD is on psychohistory I very much doubt he needs that kind of power.
As a professor I think a laptop is an excellent tool for the classroom - my students aren't just there to listen to me pontificate about a subject. I teach software development and design so I want my students to apply the subject we are talking about - right there in the classroom if possible, there's no better way to learn. If they choose to look at something else instead that's their choice. However you'd be surprised on how many people use their laptops to take notes, look at the course material online or even proactively bring up related points by doing some fast research via their search engine poison of choice.
BTW if you want to scold adults make fun of them:) If a phone rings tell them to get a better ring tone next time because theirs sucks. If they are rude enough to take a call loudly ask them where they want the hookers to sit etc.
What can we do about the Gestapo America? BTW this article should be titled "Corporations hire professional stalkers to track employees outside of the workplace."
Shouldn't the OP be modded funny? - didn't anyone look at the link?
These results may be correct sure but their data collection mechanism seems highly suspect.
The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. The popular search engines Google, MSN, Yahoo!, Wikipedia and YouTube are used to calculate the ratings.
..very scientific. Vendors in particular strike me as a particularly trustworthy source, citing anything that will sell them products.
Yes but they still suck with visualization however well the card is supported. You can play graphics intensive games if you're willing to drop the resolution. Personally I don't mind going to bootcamp for playing games - its a 10-20 second reboot.

Yes 1984 with everything including 14k modems. When it comes to data mining the FBI can't find it's ass with both hands,
Clearly the thing won't work - its been bricked.
With all those Twinkies - still Fresh!
IBM makes you eat borscht!
Mod this waaaaay up. To 11 on the dial.

Oh wait that was Pre-K
ah that's because unlike the other posters I am in fact clairvoyant :)

Not anti-customer at *all*. You are NOT their customer.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Good luck! ...and change the license ouch!
It'll all be fine when MS releases their explorer-specific extensions for data storage and security.

IE is simply the best firefox downloader around.
Lutz rocks the house. I would have given it a 10.

Quite. Mod Up.
So its true, MySQL still doesn't support Transaction rollbacks.
