  1. Any exchange programs? on For CS Majors, How Important Is the "Where?" · · Score: 1

    I went to a relatively well known liberal arts college myself and I really loved my experience. I was more in a math/economics field, but I found that I was able to take classes at a highly regarded technical school with no problem at all. My school had a partner program with this other school and we could take classes at either. There was even a bus that went back and forth between the schools. This meant there were a lot of computer science/engineering students who basically took half their major requirements at the technical school. Check to see if the liberal arts college you're looking at has a similar program -- really the best of both worlds. Good luck! Sabrina

    I Disagree. Greedy has nothing to do with what you want. Greedy is all about how much you want.

  3. Another way to make money... on Early Warning For Microsoft Premium Customers · · Score: 1

    What designates a "premium customer?" It looks like Microsoft has found yet another way to make $$, this time off their (more than) questionable security practices.

    We all know there are vulnerabilities in their products, which is why the more intelligent of us simply run another OS. Who wants to pay them $$, just so they can tell you what you already know?

  4. Re:please everybody on The Subtle Tyranny Of Spreadsheets · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is quite true. For the typical user (usually not a /. reader), data is also much easier to understand and manipulate using Excel. Searching and manipulating in Access is much less intuitive, which makes Excel more popular and people are less likely to use Access, which means it's not as familiar ... you get the idea.

  5. Re:not just a Linux user on SCO Names 1st Lawsuit Target: AutoZone [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Yes, it would involve IBM, but it wouldn't necessarily be relevant to the SCO/IBM case.

  6. Re:great on Cisco Working to Block Viruses at the Router · · Score: 1

    Right, and I saw no indication in the article that Microsoft was taking any part of this initiative. It's their operating system that's mostly being attacked, you'd think they'd chip in and help a little.
