Streaming video over DSL was unwatchable, so no, not "fast enough". Google "gaming via satellite". Again, not fast enough. I can't shop around for a viable alternative that doesn't exist!
and a variety of slow, expensive, crappy alternatives. (I've tried DSL. Sucks balls) Which is almost as bad as having no alternatives, and certainly does not constitute healthy competition or a free marketplace.
Kill "cable" already. I don't need Comcast to negotiate with all these clowns, just let me go online and stream directly from each channel. And let me pay per show, or if I watch your channel a lot I'll pay a monthly subscription. Comcast, just connect me to the internet and stay the hell out of my way. Until then I'll stick with Netflix, it's far from perfect but it has tons of good stuff I haven't seen yet, and no frickin' commercials.
Sometimes online courses make sense, other times not so much. My university is planning to spend millions of dollars building two huge lecture halls, while figuring out how to handle all the traffic that will be created before and after each class. You can't convince me delivering huge classes like that online doesn't make more sense, there's no interaction to speak of in a class of 500+ students.
On the other hand, meatspace often works much better for small recitations and labs.
If you're a non-resident attending a state university, you can't get resident tuition after a year. Take a year off and stay in state and you could be eligible, although there have been instances of universities attempting to deny the discount because the person deliberately moved there for reduced tuition.
...in the study. I work in government IT, and figuring the cost of benefits is standard procedure when we're working up a budget, and trivially simple. Here's a link to the actual study
You're right about bringing in consultants for short-term projects, of course it makes more sense than hiring.
As noted, the university president's salary has no relation to pensions of the rank and file. Secondly, the "state pension" that university employees receive isn't funded by taxpayers, it's funded by the university, which gets only 5-15% of it's budget from the state.
My brother's girlfriend drives for FedEx. LA to Atlanta and back. Every week. But she's not a Fed Ex employee. She works for a trucking company that carries freight for FedEx. So no, they may not show up on FedEx's balance sheet as "labor", but I'll bet labor makes up a good chunk of all their subcontractors' balance sheets.
Sorry, I gotta get some glasses. But that's how I first read the summary, I couldn't figure out how Neil Armstrong smuggled McDonalds fries in to the lunar capsule and then managed to eat them while strolling on the moon.
Bingo. Rather than just port over their desktop OS (hello, Microsoft), Jobs waited until they had developed something that actually worked on a tablet. And yes, I did own a Windows tablet...and no, I don't miss it.
Haven't resorted to super glue in the USB ports, but aside from that, spot on. Like the old saying goes: "Give users an inch, and they'll hose their machine."
at investigating corporate malfeasance, I'm sure they'll be all over it. And then our politicians will immediately hold the oil companies' feet to the fire. And Hell will open an ice rink.

the phrase (from TFA) "jets emanating from the moon's south polar region" made me giggle.

Makes that slashdot subscription worth every penny!

anchored in Mexico. I think the online thing has worked pretty well for him.

State gives university a chunk of money and says "go forth and educate". They don't pay by the student, at least not at my university.

...so how is this relevant?

Don't they mean supplement? I realize it's Saturday, but come on, editors.

I'll bet your teacher is still telling that story.

but the OP slept through Accounting 101. I'd say he has a good shot at landing a gig as a financial analyst for one of the major networks.
