And the MPAA wants us to believe no one is making money off movies anymore...I know Mel is. I won't be going to see this one, I'll just download the divx version when it comes out. I am sure Mel won't miss my $10.00 when he is driving his Ferrari into Hollywood.
I am a recently graduated High School student and I will be attending UCSD this fall. Now I don't want to sound like a jerk but, learning how to use a computer should be something everyone has to do..on thier own time. Computers are an essential part of business, and yes..that includes school. Imagine if we allowed teachers to be hired without knowing how to drive...would the school system offer a course on driving?? I think not. Now I understand there is no DMV for comupters, and its a broad comparison. But if a student can take some of thier "free" time to learn and farmiliarize themselves with computers, I think the teachers can too. Plus, what good is a teacher if they cannot interact with what thier students are learning?
Personally, I am an 18 year student at UCSD and I have already found that you must always push for the next level to gain an edge. I work full-time as a Datbase Admin at a Biotech company in San Diego, I just recieved my OCP (Oracle Certification), and I am finishing my bachelors in CS this year. I went to community college while in High School and it gave me a HUGE advantage, I would recommend all high school students, take their majors prereq classes and transfer them over. I plan on getting a Masters in BA, then going back for a PHD in CS. I also would like to get as many other nedded certs, such as UNIX, Java, Cisco, and Linux. The key for me was to balance a solid social life too, I played hockey weekly, partied, and have a steady girlfriend. Have a life, but focus it around planning for a successful future. Too many young people get too involved in social profiling, and doing what seems cool. Get started early, because eventually everyone begins to go to college, or work full-time. But one or two years early can make a huge difference in your future. Find something you love, and you will never work a day in your life.
Im not sure, but I believe a company called Captiva can do the type of capturing your taliking about. I know many companies use it to process tax forms and such. its definatly not cheap or open-source though.
