  1. Re:Don't forget the kids! on Business Software Alliance "Grace Period" · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the BSA trying to make the kids their version of the Hitler Youth.

  2. Re:How is it "extortion" to enforce the law? on Business Software Alliance "Grace Period" · · Score: 1

    And how about the commercials the BSA runs on the radio? If you haven't heard them, it targets disgruntled former employees to "get back at their former employers." The commericals then go on to tell the penalties that their former employees will be held to. I don't know about you, but this just sounds like a plan for extortion to me. I can picture someone holding this over their former employer's head saying "I know you fired me, but I can hurt you with this unless you give me what I want."

  3. Best way to describe MIS on On the Differences Between MIS/CIS/CS Degrees? · · Score: 1

    Being a current CS student here at Texas A&M, the inside joke about MIS as a major is it's basically Computer Science Lite. From what I hear from people in the MIS program at our school, everything they learn is knowledge that I have had since about the 5th grade (I'm currently in my 2nd year here at A&M). For example, the MIS students here use Frontpage to do their HTML in their Web Enabled Applications class.
