I took a 2-year programming course at Medicine Hat College. Some of the required classes (the Excel one and the Linux Admin. one) could be replaced with courses that do transfer (Calculus I and Intro to Comp. Sci I and II, I believe). I was lucky, though. Although the course was centred around VB.Net, Java, and a little bit of C++ the teachers were good at making sure the concepts behind the languages were explained.
Another nice thing they had set up is the ability to transfer to some universities and get a full 2 years of credits. They talk about it on the bottom of the page I linked to.
I'm not sure what's going on with that course now, though. They shuffled things around a year after I finished. I doubt I would have gone into the course if the options were the ones being offered now.
I got a copy of "Welt" by Ohgr that has a fold-out in it kind of like those old pop-up books. Opening it all the way gives you a picture as big as 4 CD cases, and it scrunches back down after closing it. Art in the case isn't dead, it's just not common anymore. If you want artwork with your cd, ones in cardboard packages tend to be better than ones in jewel cases.
My point exactly. Bad code brings things down, no matter *what* they're running on. It was just in reply to the guy who thought slapping a unix core under Windows everything else would be a magic fix-all solution.
And OS fanboys are annoying as hell.
Wouldn't help at all. Shitty code is shitty code, no matter what's underneath it. It isn't the core of the OS that's broken (Well, at least not completely), it's the 'services' that run on top of it (SQL server, IIS, etc).
Terrorism? Doubtful. Mild-annoyance-ism? That's more like it. Despite what most people think, the world will not collapse without computers. It'll be a hell of an annoyance, but not much more.

Is it bad that the first thing I thought after reading your post was "Kraftwerk II"?

Here is a news article regarding that. It was for the roundup-ready canola.
It was falling from a construction site, actually. I had a serious WTF moment about that a week ago or so. I still enjoy the show, though.
Argh, meant to hit funny.
I read that as porn industry in a can. ...
MY IDEA! MINE ONLY!
Right, note to self: Read entire thread before posting. Sorry AC.
This one is even better...
No, he means the joystick port, AKA the game port.
Look here.
Happens here in Canada, too. The colleges sign deals of some sort to only sell one or the other. It's very annoying sometimes.
More than once.
Tax free. Not interest free.
xeyes!
2.x and 3.x are completely different. The fix was made to both.
wheres the "Remote Windows Management Using Activestate Perl and a few Win32 Calls for Dummies?"

CPAN is your friend.
It was an accident. I don't really think it was anybody's fault.
ActiveState makes a perl plugin for VS.Net. Visual Perl
On the back of the sleeve the first CD is in. I got the same CDs at an event on the same tour.
From the looks of the article, they are already sold for less money rather than discarded...
Seems to be slashdotted already... Wonder if it saw that coming.
