It's a good thing the fact that the vast majority of RIAA-affiliated music hasn't utterly sucked has nothing to do with the decline in "sales loss" NO NO - what a ridiculous notion.
No, someone with a degree is not (necessarily) more intelligent than someone without a degree. That doesn't mean a degree isn't worth it.
The fact of the matter is that a degree gets you money. Granted, having an AS/BS doesn't guarantee you're going to clock 50k out of school - chances of that are slim these days. But it'll sure you get you closer. You can't expect to make enough money to support yourself for the rest of your life in(esp. in Boston) a field as fast-paced as IT without a 4 year degree. Many will try to argue that experience is worth more than a degree - and they're 100% correct. However, a degree plus experience is absolutely better than just the experience, period....how much better it is however will vary from how much work you put into your education.
~ 1 year ago I attended an IBM conference that had something very simliar (I didnt read this article)
It was a palm pilot with a digital camera - you take a picture of a sign, for example, and it would translate it. The individual did not demonstrate this, but it seemed real cool (if it worked)
What's more is, he did not make any mention of a remote server...(?)
Personally, I could care less about bud in particular keepin tabs of what/when/where etc I hypothetically purchase their product. Perhaps in this case, it isn't a big deal...but what is troubling is that companies do this..it isn't it is just bud. I used to work for a huge Pharm Drug co that was piloting a system that actually had motion sensors/cameras in retail locations...Move your hand in front of their product, and guess who is on candid camera. That's only the tip of the iceberg...

correction...increase in sales loss.

I thought my p4 3.2/2 GB RAM/400 GB was ridiculous.
