Working in the IT arena for over 15 years at numerous companies and responsible for the hiring of resources for many of them, I can tell that you are probably better off taking the 'applied technology' (hands-on) courses. While a degree might help get you through the HR trolls, managers prefer experience and current/relevent industry certification.
Go for the degree if you want the piece of paper (and a well-rounded education), but remember that it won't guarantee you a job.
Microsoft, which had previously weighed in on the side of the consumer electronics camp (pro-deadline), but then later agreed with the one-year extension.
When did John Kerry take over leadership of Micorosft?
Surveys have shown that the vast majority of gamers are over 18 years of age.
Ehheh. Right. Surveys show that the vast majority of people are over 18 years of age. I mean, you're comparing what, a group from roughly 10 or 12 to 18 with a group from 19 to who-knows-where? Of course you'll get more in the latter.
The average age of video game buyer is now 36. The average of a player is 29. And it is getting older every year.
Another reason is that they're not guilty of monopolistic business practices.
Huh? What percentage of Macs run the Mac OS? What percentage of non-Mac computers run a Mac OS? How many other manufacturers are licensed to build Macs or distributed the Mac OS? Apple may not be really, really big, but they are practicing monopolistic practices.
I've been working IT in the private sector for over 15 years now. In most cases, proper and current certification is more important than a college degree. Much of my college experience was done in FORTRAN 77 and does me little good now. Certification helps keep you current on new industry technology. A degree is a piece of paper that might help get you in the door.
We have two hands and two eyes. Many of us work on two monitors and some with two OS's on one box. Piano players and musicians use both hands when they perform.
What Apple should do is be creative and invent a way to have two mice hooked up. One mouse on each side of the keyboard.
If they want to save money, start asking for volunteers to do the daily operation and data analysis. Can you imagine the geek points you'd get for be associated with these projects. Might even be enough to get laid.
Because the "citizens of an urban area" are not making the decision. I live here and don't want my tax dollars directed to a service just some teen can surf for free pr0n.
Who decides what is "too costly"? The people who pay taxes do.

Knives and guns don't kill people... know even people don't kill people? Then it must be games that kill people.
I'm going straight home and emptying my son's closet. I don't want him to become a murderer.
...when I sit and code too long.
Which license will the study material be release under?
means of transmitting power wirelessly
Behold! I give you... the SUN!
Nope, just checked. They must be small potatoes. Never heard of them.
Sure, lets have the unions do for software industry what they did for the American auto, steel, & textile industries.
Aren't we outsourcing enough jobs?
I agree. I even use VNC on my Windows boxes over other products. It makes for a free KVM.

FTA: "Google Desktop is the company's only other Google-developed product that's not in beta."
I'm glad that people in the press are finally taking notice of this... what the hell, they should change their name to 'Google Beta'.
OK, that is funny. Guess it's better than a picture of a vibrator or a butt plug.

...now I can't use the DTs as an excuse to stay home from work.
Yet another reason not to count Sun out...
Who has ever counted them out?
I don't think that passive air cooling is going to save their server right about now.
So basically... "Forced Charity" administered by a very inefficient organization.
Excite has had this for years and years.

Why don't they just focus on getting the shit-load of other projects they have in Beta out to production?
