In the time it would take you to fulfill the requirements for another bachelors, you could already have earned at least a year (if not more) towards a masters degree in comp. sci. or ME. It is not unheard of to get a science bachelors in one field and then switch to something else for your graduate work. Worst case scenario, you would be registered as a masters student and have to take a handful of comp. sci. courses in order to get up to speed.
If there were ghosts, that would mean there is an afterlife. If the afterlife were confirmed, people would be committing suicide in droves to get to "heaven". If there were a Big Guy Upstairs, he probably wouldn't like this, so he wouldn't allow ghosts to be seen on Earth. So: ghosts don't exist if there isn't an afterlife, and ghosts don't exist if there is an afterlife. The End.
If that person has that mindset about people who are disabled, then by their own logic they should be required to synthesize their own insulin from scratch. I can't believe a diabetic had the nerve to compare themselves to someone with a severe disability who cannot drive a car or get around without the assistance of others.
Is it me, or does providing ATM's to some of a poor countries poorest individuals make no sense? This idea brought to you by the same guy who sells screen doors to submarine manufacturers.
...return the money that you aren't using? It is only going to accumulate interest, and even if you invest wisely you will still need to exceed the cost of the compounding interest to make any profit.
You can even play old school games online. Check out http://www.kaillera.com/ and download the MAME client with Kaillera support. Servers are popping up all over the world. Dust off your game pads and give it a whirl! We need more competition in Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Marvel vs Capcom!
AT&T stopped providing residential phone service a few years ago. They had become a wireless company. Cingular purchased AT&T a few years ago. Cingular realized the potential value of the AT&T brand name, and released the new AT&T onto the world. This new AT&T bares little resemblance to what AT&T had been before the purchase (and even after the splitting of the Bells into the Baby Bells).
If you think about it, it isn't really history just repeating itself. There is a lot of wireles competition, so it is highly unlikely that things will return to the way they were before the Bell breakup. SBC owns 60% of Cingular, which bought AT&T Wireless. Even though it seems like Ma Bell is making a return from beyond the grave, this simply is not the case. The current level of competition in wireless and internet services will prevent any worries from coming to fruition.
Don't mistake this as the backing up of monopolies or unfair marketing. This is just rationalization of what is occurring.
Who would have thought that Comcast would use such evil and underhanded tactics. What do they think they have, a monopoly?... Oh wait, in most areas, they do.
So, it doesn't matter that the extremes have been getting higher and higher. When it hits 110F in Norway, are you still going to be claiming that it is just some sort of number phenomena? Thats why we have records, to establish when something breaks a threshold. The global mean temperature is increasing. You might be right if we were talking about sampling data on a local level. It would be silly to think the world is ending just because the temperature in your town was a degree or two higher that year, but when this is occurring at a global level, then it is sort of hard to ignore or write off as some sort of sampling error.
Aren't all Mac buyers converts? Only a small percentage of people who buy a Mac are going to be non-Windows OS users...so doesn't it go without saying that if you have bought a Mac that you are probably switching from Windows?
Why hijack your future in something that you might only have a passing interest in at the undergraduate level? If you are going to switch your majors, switch to computer science and then specialize in whatever field you wish. Choosing a very specialized major can hinder your job search later on.
You get great life experiences at college. You have bragging rights that you are a college graduate. College graduates make more money than non-college graduates. You get the proper instruction that you need from very smart professors. You have a whole network of faculty and student members who you can bring your questions to. You can work part time or volunteer and gain work experience AND a college degree. Go get your 4 year degree, it will pay for itself hundreds of times over in the long run.
Give me a break. Saying you want to be a quadrapalegic is arguably one of the stupidest things (tm) I've ever had the experience of reading here on slashdot. Your sir, are an imbecile who deserves to have his spinal cord bashed in with a sledge hammer. I wonder how long you'd last as a quadrapalegic before asking someone to smother you with a pillow. You have a lot of nerve.
One must keep in mind that a "heavy computer user" could easily mean "out of shape, not-very-active computer user with a poor diet". Obesity has been identified as a possible risk factor associated with glaucoma. Poor diet factored together with years of eye strain and obesity could facilitate the results of this study.
I'm not bashing the study. I admit it raises interesting questions. I'd like to see the results of a similar study with the individual's health and diet taken into consideration.

I'm frightened to live in a world where IRC is considered complex.
What moral problem?

...radiation alters cells!

maybe they can hire Al Gore to whip up something new for international use.

Too bad all the irc servers he has in his favorites are warez and porn. I mean 99.9%?!...could there be any other explanation?
