I appreciate your thoughts and understand them completley. It is not posted on my web site, but this issue is between Katie Jones and Penguin Putnam. They own the name Katie.com as a published book and decided to call it that. I can do nothing in my power to change it. I would suggest if you would like your voice to be heard and a chance that something is done about it, direct your sympathy to Penguin Putnam. Best, Katie Tarbox
Now I've been reading many of these comments and I think every person who has e-mailed Katie Tarbox has received this response. Talk about canned "concern." =P
I certainly agree also that typing skills came come along with basic computer use (mostly chat I think). I used mavis beacon in 5th grade and PAWS in the 8th I believe and when I got a useable computer my 10th grade I was in chat rooms all the time and my wpm skyrocketed up to a steady 80-100 and a burst speed of 132 during my 11th year. However when I crushed my middle finger in a door my 12th year I've been hard pressed to break 80 bursting since then. =P
My friends iPod fell from a counter on an outside bar another friend set up, stayed out there all night to have some random beverage knocked over onto it by a cat in the morning. Seems to be working fine. ^^
It would be nice if there were a list of the available plug-ins when you installed and you could click and choose which you wanted then instead of having to install them. Let the install program download said plug-ins and work them into the install as opposed to having to do it later.
The DiscDoctor can't do a lot anyway, it's a horrible "tool" and only managed to make two HALO discs that were "sort-of" playable to "not playable" at all. Gah.
If people are flocking away from engineering and comp sci in droves, I say GOOD, since they're probably the ones pricipally motivated by the perceived economic advantage of it anyway! Maybe we'll get someone to come out with a degree in one or the other that cares about something other than the paycheck for a change.
From what I'm seeing among my peers is that people aren't flocking to their interests for study but rather just other things they speculate will make them lots of money, ie business, law, etc.
I remember my roommate freshman year was a declared CS/CINS major and he said pretty much for the money, and then took the first programming class of the major and flunked it big time heh.
What's next? Are they going to round up all the adult males within a two mile radius of a sexual assault and force them to give DNA samples? If they attempted this there would be outcry -- yet they do the same thing with DWI laws on a daily basis and nobody says anything.
But I suppose it's ok when United States free trade guts entire nations of any hope at a life not lived in squalor. It's amusing that it's ok for the United States government to do everything in its power to make a nation decrepit and weak to the profit of corporations, but once even the tiniest bit of money potential is taken Americans stand up and scream at the top of their lungs like a small child not given their 3rd helping of dessert.
Blame the corporations who care most about fattening their dividends, not the workers they employ for less, to reach that goal. I'm sure everyone wants to work, not just you.
And because someone else has always said it a litle better... Oops! You're racist. (not that I'm implying anyone's racist... yeah)
I'd have to agree, I took photo in high school and the camera pool we had consisted of Pentax K-1000s. I liked the camera so much that I went on to purchase my own.

I've gotten 90MB in the past 2 minutes. XD
Downloading direct from MS on a University pipe that is.
BitTorrent clients don't automatically do MD5 verification as they download?

If I sung that right in my head this is kind of about Communism now too.

Yes they are so afraid, I can hear them shaking in their piles of money as we speak.

Just would be nice is all.
Dude, you're racist, get over it.

The worst part about this article is that some moron is going to try it.

You can use our code, just not our log.
Riiiiiiight.
I thought fraud was a big corporations business?
Wait, I thought computers were only vulnerable after the patches were available...
Exactly, the patches are available so therefore they are vulnerable now as opposed to before they were available.
What, no-one has blamed it on Microsoft yet? =P
...
Anti-"M$" sure aren't as passionate as they used to be
Aren't all versions of Windows "special?"
Why don't we called it a PlayMobile.
Which would make sense because cellphones are called "mobiles" in Japan, and probably elsewhere around the world.
Not that, anyone really cares...
Subscribers ... Are you getting what you paid for?
Sounds like a slashdot article idea to me if I ever heard one. =D

I'd rather see that then the DUI/DWI stuff.
Shaking bug? I thought it was a feature.
Any Country that presently feels repressed by the United States would be the first to declare themselves the next United States if given the chance.
History is quite revealing in the ever perpetuating sesspool of rule or be ruled. That doesn't make it ok.
