Nothing wrong with that. It's the many thousands that schools gouge for gen ed courses that pissed me off. 100 people in a class with no real resources, listening to a completely disinterested, borderline faceless instructor? NOT WORTH IT.
I ended up switching to a great community college where the instructors, facilities and resources were FAR better. I learned more there than anywhere I've ever gone. Then I transferred to uni for classes specific to my major for the higher end instructors in the field and so I could put the school on my resume.
It's funny, I just got back from a place on the Mississippi called Bunker Town. It's an old military base covered in bunkers, of which two have been converted into data silos.
Cost of getting them up to code for a regular workplace, I'd guess. Most of them are badly dilapidated, no? Plus a tech co with those resources probably wants to be closer to centers of skilled techie personnel.
I like to think most of us actually feel a lot like you do. Responsible and reasonable are great, regardless of all the craziness surrounding these issues.
Not only are many of your stated facts questionable, but ignoring that, can we please define "drugs"? WHICH drugs? And "ending prohibition"? Does that mean completely legal?
I don't care if people walk around with a joint in their pocket. I do think injecting an 8 year old girl with heroin should be strictly illegal.
"Do we honestly expect the average station worker to understand that the schedule on the little computer is someone's hobby? It's hard enough to get one of them to tell you where the public toilets are."
I get that they're savages, but really why not? In my head it sounds like, "Pal [pointing at the posted schedule], that's the only schedule that counts." One thing those people can do well is be surly.

Being less evil again.
I expect he means that we can go buy Windows or Office or XBox360, etc. They're not a strictly B2B business model.
And Dumb Dumb writes the f'ing summary?

There's a True Blood joke in there somewhere, I just can't tease it out.

It doesn't. You'll still spend 99.5% of your computing time waiting for your programs to build. ;)

Lunatics and liars at either end help nobody.
Gerald Ford must have had Comcast.
Ah, 700 days. See I'd always used the release date for Duke Nukem Forever. But now that we have a firm date...
I know I'm going to order some oil, smokes, and a STA missile right now! You should too!
I am so fucking down with that plan.
Uhg, fail. I just read your last sentence... disregard. ;)
Isn't that condition what we call cancer?
Pssh... keep up. It's iProphet.

Is SVG support really considered basic functionality in a web browser? Gif and Jpeg, I'd call those basic functionality for sure.
I'm totally down with that... but my boss wouldn't be. I still have to make sure our sites work in IE and FF. :(
Nothing is free. Not even Google search. Where's the cost?
As far as I can tell, what people have been "cheerfully ignoring" is IPv6.
It's worse than that. IPv6 is dead dick. It has been for years.
Eh, I'm in a suburb of Chicago and I have 4 or 5 options.
(Sorry Bill, but the iPod has at least cursory usability on linux)
My touch sure doesn't. :(
