Definitely recommend the ARNU BOX Mach 10 Pure Linux for streaming a local library. It plays any file I throw at it, can pass DTS/Dolby Digital to your receiver, and has a great remote. Runs KODI, so you can install any of the available add-ons to enhance functionality as needed.
I've tried running KODI using various Raspberry Pi, but always seem to run into issues either with the audio or just stutter in the large video formats.
I have an app for my iPhone called Sentinel (jailbreak required) that allows me to automatically block phone calls with No Caller ID. It is amazing. I highly recommend it.

Reminds me of the time that the Republicans tried to get the Fair Tax passed when they knew they didn't have enough votes to pass it. It's all for show.

COMS 2853 File Processing in COBOL
Prerequisites: COMS 2203. Program
design, development, testing,
implementation, and maintenance in
COBOL. Topics include file structures,
batch file processing, and index file
processing.
Where I live, COBOL is used everywhere. I'm 33 years old and I use it on a daily basis and have been since I graduated from college 10 years ago.
Companies like Wal Mart, ACXIOM, and large transportation companies such as JB Hunt, ABF, USA Truck, Wingfoot Commercial Tire, and Data-Tronics use it day-in and day-out.
However, unlike the COBOL I always read about here on Slashdot, the code we work with is standardized, modularized, and backed with a relational database (IBM DB2).
I also happen to work in more modern languages (compared to COBOL) such as PHP, ASP, and.NET, and compared to them, working on COBOL is like taking a day off. It's top-down design makes it easy to read and follow, and as long as you aren't dealing with "go to" code, it's no harder than anything else out there.
Don't disregard a language simply because it's old, or because you don't have a fancy IDE to rely upon. Compared to some of the messy AJAX implementations I've seen, I'd take COBOL any day.
Use the same calculator the Teacher uses, even if that means buying a new calculator for each new Teacher (talking College here). You will save yourself a lot of time, because the teacher will talk calculator specific functions and chance are no one in your class is going to have the same calc as you to help you out.
Just get what the teacher has and save yourself the trouble.
Mod parent up.
Deep Freeze has been a life-saver for my company. We routinely suggest it and install it for corporations. It's basically like using Norton/Symantec Ghost to image the PC back to it's original image on every boot (only it happens instantly).
We found the thaw space to be too much trouble, so instead we just partition out the primary drive and only freeze the Windows Installation partition. Then we map their "My Document's" folder to the other partition.
We have had ZERO problems with any of those computers. Hopefully we won't put ourselves out of a job!
And Yes, users that can't read still wonder why their desktop backgrounds and things they saved to their desktops, and internet explorer favorites are "missing" every time they turn the computer back off and back on again.
Silly users;-)
Mod this up!
And go buy that FairTax book if you haven't read it.
To sum up: Pay taxes on the money you spend, not the money you earn.
Which means all those drug dealers and illegal immigrants and bank robbers and tourists from other countries will be paying our taxes whenever they spend money in america.

No, but for a second I thought it was some new creative commons licensing type of thing!
It's actually all rolled up into a single track "Computer and Information Science". There is no distinction between the two.
