See, when I watch Bollywood movies, which I do (lol, it's not the individual dysfunctional plot elements that count, it's the whole story;)) -- I don't get a good understanding of the Hindi.
This is because the english subtitles that even allow me to enjoy the movie, in the slightest way, tend to me a terrible translation of the hindi. I end up half ignoring the hindi and just paying attention to the subtitles.
Well, I've always wanted to question some of you technically knowledgable guys (pun possibly intended) about how you learn languages! Good thing I jumped on this topic early, or I would never have even had the chance of having this answers (thanks to a weird commenting system, but I'm not complaining.)
Anyway, let me get to my question. I want to learn Hindi, but what I've tried from Rosetta Stone to Pimsleur seems relatively weak. Well, the Pimsleur stuff is EXTREMLY good for a small introduction, but it isn't quite comprehensive enough to gain the understanding of the language you need.
Anyway, I can't seem to find any other good locations to learn this -- and I was hoping one of you might have the insight to answer this question. Gratzi!
Actually, as a Biomedical Engineering at UVa right this moment, I can tell you that the field is still extremly new, and thus quite revolutionary by the very definition of the word. Just pick up the Journal of Biomedical Engineering, it's worth the read, if only just to see how phenomenal the research seems. Imagine the day when your Biomedical Engineering friend can sit down with your torn muscle and inject a polymer that repairs the damage. That's tomorrow, in today's research labs at UVa.
The pushes into this field of engineering are helping to consolidate biological advances in chemical engineering, tissue engineering, mechanical engineering (believe it or not), computer science, etc. To better enhance your view of the situation, UVa started their major officially last year, and the field quickly became one of the most competitive majors in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences out here, but for good reason.
We're ranked well, even being a pretty liberal arts related school, but this in large part due to the fact that our Medical School is extremly active in research. One of the critical distinctions our school is making is the fact that BME is regarded as a Major, and not a minor in the way MIT seems to want to do it. This is because we have no "Biological Engineering" major, mainly because Biomedical Engineering encompasses those things MIT designated as Biological Engineering, and more. Moreover, BME is regarded as a major at quite a few prestigious University's including Northwestern, UMass, UCLA, etc, so clearly MIT must be reading a different set of notes than the rest of the academic community.
Regardless, Biomedical Engineering is something that is very much important, and it's very good to see a peer institution in the market to develop smart Biomedical/Biological Engineers. Hopefully this won't be our generation's Aerospace Engineering or Nuclear Engineering. I do believe jobs will last in this field, and the potential for branching into other fields from an Undergrad Degree in BME is phenomenal (just look at the fact that BME majors have the highest acceptance rate out of any major into Medical School).
I hate posing stupid questions about moderators, because for the most part they are just that -- but I have recognized an increasing tendency for CmdrTaco to be quite the opposite of the Slashdot crowd when it comes to topics about Bill Gates.
I take it your insight will be valuable probably -- or at least I hope.
From the UVa Perspective ..

Who Needs Harvard?
·
· Score: 4, Informative
I can speak from the perspective of UVa out here in Virginia -- which was ranked as the #1 public school last year, and is tied for #2 this year with University of Michigan. #1 this year is UC Berkley, who trades spots with UVa every few years. (All these facts are courtesy of the worst ranking agent ever, US News and World Reports)
Anyway, basically what I'm trying to say is that public schools are making huge headway into almost every important field. Berkley has the amazing engineering program that the best schools compete neck and neck with. Michigan has extremly competitive law, business, and medical schools. Virginia has #4 law program, the #12 business program, the #24 medical school, a top 5 commerce school (that puts out some of the best investment bankers in the world) -- etc, etc.
Between the three top public institutions, every facet of higher education is relatively well covered from medicine to liberal arts to commerce to engineering. Today, wasting 50 grand a year on a Harvard education may still be worth it if you're not lucky enough to be living in Virginia, California or Michigan, but honestly -- the concept of building a network of connections and alumni support is well expressed in our public instituions today.
Perhaps the biggest difference between a public school and a private schools is a fact that wikipedia expresses -- the endowments are huge for schools like Harvard and Yale. UVA had an endowment of 1.4 billion dollars, harvard had 22.6 billion, and yale was at 11 billion. Harvard is the second largest nonprofit after the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.
Those are the facts that set apart a university like Harvard from a UVA or a Berkley. I think in the coming years these kinds of huge differences between top public schools and top private schools will increase. While the economy was bad in the earlier part of this century (hehe), schools like Berkley and Virginia took hits in funding. In virginia for example, the tuition was raised somewhere around 30%, and funding dropped pretty substantially. Certain public institions in the state that weren't doing as well dropped substantitally in rank according to US News and World Reports, and without public support, pulic (!!) institions can't do well.
For now at least, UVa looks to be going more and more the private route, especially with the new legislation on the table specifically asking for more leeway in the strings the government has attached to the institution. Hopefully as a more expensive, but still cheaper top instition that's quasi private/public will make for a better University overall. As per now, I can honestly say that going to a instition other than a top public one if you live in the states of Virginia, Michigan, or California (if accepted of course) would be a mistake. Perhaps getting lots of money to go to an expensive Ivy is not a bad plan, but the majority of them don't even offer merit based scholarships.
Anyway, there were quite a few cents more than my 0.02 there, but take from this what you will. =)
Interesting points -- but it looks you've neglected to explain the High Temperature Superconductors which made waves in the late 80s. In fact, a company called Superconductor Technologies out of Santa Barbara, CA received exlusive rights to certain Thallium compounds disovered by the University of Arkansas which become superconductors at temperatures as high as ~120K! That's well within the range of liquid nitrogen cooling (which provides 77K).
Theoretically, that could mean that users would only need a few watt cooling device to maintain a liquid nitrogen cooling system (as is already maintained by some of the higher end overclockers). The possibility that resistance could go down 2 orders of magnitude (realistically), and theoretically could go down infinitely, leaves chip manufacturers with IMMENSE room to work with. The idea that your processor might loose integrity at high clock cycles -- due to heat (and many other things) drops to nill, and could open the flood gates to super fast computers on the desk.
You're absolutely correct, Paul, that using thin clients connected to an ultra fast backend would work in a situation where someone's pushing a traditional superconducting device, but I'm willing to say that superconductors are no longer something only big institutions can fancy, but something that anyone can enjoy. For example, to break down the cost of this issue, I found a fact from hyperphysics.com that said, "The amount of liquid helium to operate an MRI device costs about $30,000 per year. It has been estimated that the use of liquid nitrogen superconducting magnets could save $100,000 per year in overall operating costs for each MRI device."
I forsee the day that a user will be able to use a superconducting set of electronics on the desk. Your idea is not wrong, but HTS will be the future.
Personally, I was duped. You had a pretty genius prank, and it's really not very much different than what lukett and the fark crowed pulled on the rest of the world with their modified (which you can search for via fark.com and google of course) picture of what a computer was supposed to look like in the future.
Alek, those people that are pissed here are just pissed because they couldn't pull something off like what you did -- and to make it even better, you had an equally genius (at least on the technical merit side) dupe setup, and you posted some cool facts on the slashdot effect.
Cheers lad. I'm impressed. My ego, it was worthless to begin with =)
I can't say any more. allofmp3.com will provide you a cheap source of music, and then you can program days and days of music so you can workout till your heart explodes.
Seriously, I'm ready for something that seriously hits these spam sites hard.
I give folding@home my cpu cycles now, and frankly, I have spare bandwidth that I'm paying for from my cable company, so it's about time that I waste that on a good cause too.
If someone told me today that I could get a cute little screen saver which showed me the destruction of spam, I'd frankly be willing to donate a few bucks to the cause. Paying for it won't work.. it's a bit trivial (the idea), but I'm sure there would be a good few that would love to donate to the cause.

One half trillion dollars will be spent in Iraq according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Well my friend, unlike you I've stuck with the att system, and I've been working with the retarded child of that system: Suncom.
I live in Virginia, so this merger is supposed to directly affect me since Suncom itself is going to dissapear in the State of Virgina.
I'm not quite sure what's going to happen to me.. or my plan.. or my SUPER SHITTY service, but even if they were to take my phone and slam it into a wall I'd probably be better off.
Anyway, I'm posing the question you, slashdotters, what's next for the Suncom? Aiiee?
I realize this is going to get them attention, but is it going to help their cause?
How can you even ask that question? Badnarik and Cobb are two candidates with real platforms and real goals, and they deserve to be heard in the same way that President Bush and Senator Kerry are being heard.
And you're a supporter! How can you possibly say that you support these candidates when you understand that they have no real chance of winning unless they are treated in the same way as our "real party" candidates. Something must be done!
This is no different than people standing up for their rights during the civil rights movement, and frankly, I believe that they have done something to make a point. If I was there to stand with them, I would've. Something is terribly wrong with our system and they're the Martin Luther King Jrs. of this movement for change.
So don't tell me you're dissapointed the average american with the IQ of a chimp can't see that there's a reason for this. They're not going to win this time around, so they MUST make changes to the system so they have a real chance of winning the next time around.
To Badnarik and Cobb, I truly offer you the salute that you, damn well, deserve. Keep up the good work.
And so now, it becomes clear that SCO may never provide the required evidence to prove that they are indeed correct. I believe that this is a clear signal that the SCO case is seeing the end of it's days. Everyone, rejoice! Together now!
