Apologies for the double post. I've got wrong button syndrome this morning.
Actually, here in Baltimore, a ClearChannel owned station B104.3 just changed its format from classic rock to smooth jazz. If you Googlefor the station, it all still comes up as the classic rock station.
I'm not sure if this is to what the original poster referred, and I'm certain that they're not subsidizing anything - they no doubt are trying to exploit an open niche in Charm City's airwaves in the hopes of making more money. But yeah, ClearChannel ditched rock in favor of smooth jazz.

If you're going to be anal about this sort of thing, at least be right.
The Yorktown (CG-48 and the Navy's first stab at a 'smart ship' ) is a Ticonderoga class cruiser. Its combat systems direction system is called Aegis. I don't remember its actual Navy nomentclature. And yes, I'm surprised it didn't rust to the pier in Pascagoula, MS.
I think all the rest of us were just jealous of Building 48, and the fact that her crew was effectively on shore duty.
I'm in a similar situation, (in the going back to school regards, anyway) and coming at a CS degree from a direction opposite that of a recent high-school grad.
I started out as a music major in New Orleans, where the drinking age was still 18. That lasted a year...
2 years at a community college as a chemistry major.
1 semester at a 4-year as a chemistry major.... Then I pulled a Bluto.
6 years in the US Navy as an electronics technician, fixing radios and radars (and some really, really outdated computer system (magnetic core memory, anyone?) )
Now I'm a civilian again, working as a test technician and using some o' that good old fashioned skills, knowledge, and experience to make microwave curveillance receivers work real good.
And I've been putting more credits behind me at another local community college, and next semester I'll be transferring (again) to a 4-year (different one, this time) to finish a degree.
While I could probably turn what I do at work into a career, I really like working with computers, and I really like programming.
If the rest of the incoming class is smaller, all the better for me.

And the human race re-invents art that is not video games with each generation?
You only read "original" stories/plays/novels, that haven't been influenced by what's come before?
You don't listen to music that influenced by, has samples from, or is a remake or cover of songs and sounds from the past?
I think that a generation that grew up playing computer games simply has a broader, stronger base upon which to grow.
Creative endeavors are not conceived or executed, or for that matter, played, read, or listened to, in a vacuum.
