  4. CS degress to fit in with work hours on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree Without Gen-Ed Requirements? · · Score: 1

    Like many people, I had life happen and dropped out of Uni a year in. Trying to fit in the classes now, some 20 years later, to finish a CS degree it is very hard to find the CS courses during non-work hours. Any hints on schools that offer transferable credits to get these CS classes done? The gened classes are easy to find from my local university in an online my own hours schedule.

    I can easily go over 250GB downloading LEGAL content from Netflix, Steam, Amazon etc.

  7. Re:The wording scares me on US ISPs, Big Content Reaching Antipiracy Agreement · · Score: 1

    considering comcast doesn't raise any money from caps, they just cut you off for 12 months...

    Any lurking in a comcast related forum, like on DSL reports, you will find plenty of people towing the company line that 250GB is plenty for EVERYONE, only pirates use over 50GB a month.

  8. Re:What is this? on US ISPs, Big Content Reaching Antipiracy Agreement · · Score: 1

    And there are lots of people who are so fed up with Comcast and AT&T that they have looked, and found NOTHING else

  9. Re:What is this? on US ISPs, Big Content Reaching Antipiracy Agreement · · Score: 1

    yes, dial up, comcast, at&t are the land based ISP choices here.

    So yes, it IS difficult to find another ISP

    It is also another means to limiting bandwidth usage, remember, only pirates come close to the caps...

  11. Re:The wording scares me on US ISPs, Big Content Reaching Antipiracy Agreement · · Score: 1

    The wording is very scary, it certainly seems to imply that the powers that be only have to accuse you of piracy, with little or no means of proof and no appeal process.

    good luck finding one!

    So, iOS install is flawless, except when it isn't.

  14. Apple users don't have install problems? on Android App Quality Pathetically Low Says Developer · · Score: 2

    How do we know that Apple users aren't having similar issues but are asking in apple forums how to install stuff or at the genius bar, and those comments aren't deleted from the apple forums ?

  15. Re:4000 1000? on Android App Quality Pathetically Low Says Developer · · Score: 1

    yeah, I caught that too. Maybe there's a time scale that was missed here, i.e. being available for longer on iOS or something.

  16. All of facebook should be spidered on Google Should Be Logging In To Facebook · · Score: 1

    It's impressive how annoyingly hard it is to find older information someone on your friend list can be to find.
    Imagine "site:facebook.com weiner joke" returning results from your friend stream from facebook, assuming you login to facebook using the same account you login to google with.

  17. Re:14 years of hype on Ars Technica Review Slams Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 1

    So, basically, the hype is the age group this game is designed for? Maybe the game could play with itself. Oh, it is...

  19. Re:Commercial Theaters are a waste of time and mon on Austin's Alamo Drafthouse Theater Gives Texters the Boot · · Score: 2

    They have accepted her as long as she doesn't bother others, which is something that any movie goer knows they agree to, whether it's written or not.

    She consumed part of the product she bought. It's no pro-rated.

  20. Re:Commercial Theaters are a waste of time and mon on Austin's Alamo Drafthouse Theater Gives Texters the Boot · · Score: 1

    They reserve the right to serve who they want and refuse service to who they want. Imagine the ticket price is what allows you into see that movie, as long as you behave like a human being...

  21. Re:Commercial Theaters are a waste of time and mon on Austin's Alamo Drafthouse Theater Gives Texters the Boot · · Score: 1

    Imagine if you paid on your way out of the theater, rather than on the way in
    Imagine getting anyone who went and saw a crappy movie to pay on the way out.

  22. Re:horseshit on Austin's Alamo Drafthouse Theater Gives Texters the Boot · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's nice and all, you may have earned a night out, but you didn't earn the right to possible annoy someone else who may have an actual reason to check their messages but steps out of the theatre to see what's what.

    And people spend what has to be hundreds of dollars on the cheap watery beer so they can get drunk and forget the concert anyway.

    $10 is $10, and when it's my wife and I it's $20.

    Thirty feet? Are you kidding?
    I often see kids play with their phones in the rows right in front of me. Stadium seating means there's very little to obscure the screen from sight.

    That, or get a job where you can sit in a movie for two hours without distracting other patrons.
