Their education programs seem to be certification based. That implies that the mathematics side of things is cut.
My point with this subdetail of a side comment is that math is liberal arts. Computer science is a type of math in some respects. What they are teaching is not computer science, but programming and system administration.
And as for your other point, I think that a good course in Logic is an excellent way to teach someone how to think for themselves. The basic set of bullshit detectors is something that every student should be equipped with.
I would much prefer to cut liberal arts than core computer fundamentals, like math, data structures, and algorithm analysis. These things are all very important to understanding computer science, and they are invaluable later on in the game.
People who don't understand liberal arts usually fail to recognize liberal arts when they see it. The things you mentioned above are all liberal arts. As an example, check out what the University of Michigan classifies their Math department as.
I guess this is just more evidence for my previous comment that those who haven't been educated in the liberal arts aren't capable of realizing the gaps in their own education. Critical thinking is the tool that allows a student to cut themselves loose from formal education, continuing their own education for the rest of their lives.
Liberal arts. That's the part of a college education that teaches people to think for themselves, and to be generalists.
Nothing wrong with that, but nobody should be under the impression that this is as good as a traditional degree with a full curriculum. Unfortunately, the students who graduate from such a program will think they are well rounded, and well educated. That's because they will lack the thinking tools needed to realize that they don't have a full education.
Your personality leaves a lot to be desired. Offensiveness is apparently your strong point.
I know how the tunnel works. The original poster didn't reveal his ISP, so neither you nor I have any idea if he has a facility to tunnel IP6. If you do your homework, you will see that some ISP's provide this to their customers. Hurricane Electric is one that comes up on a Google search.
If his ISP provides this to the customers, then it won't matter if he's NAT or not. He will have a static IP on the IPv6 Internet.
You can tunnel IP6 over IP4. Once you have that set up, you can have a static IP6 address on the real IP6 Internet. Now all you have to do is find a game server to talk to you at your IP6 address. Good luck.
My Bush bashing is patriotic. His NASA agency keeps sending his primitive weapons disguised as space probes to rove over my pristine Martian plains. My duty as Mars Defense Minister is to oppose his every imperial attempt to colonize my planet. Earthling robots go home!
My own personal feeling is that the technology is 963599 out of 1000000. Would have gotten 963600, but points were subtracted for using the undocumented instructions on my Z80 processor.
The truth doesn't care how unpalatable you find it to be. That idea isn't meant to be pessimistic. On the contrary. It's motivational, because we all have a duty to be kind to each other, to educate ourselves, to strive for progress, to be good caretakers for this tiny world. Why? Because in the end, that's all that we have. Look at how small we are, and how small our planet is. Look at how big the universe is, and how barren it is. When we got our little planet, we really won the lottery.
I vote for Empire, any version, by Walter Bright. The original was played on very slow computers and was fun even when you had to wait a couple minutes for the computer to complete its turn. Now the game is much better for two reasons. First, the computer takes its turns almost instantaneously. Second, the game is free for download from Walter Bright's website.

No, jeuvenile is an adjective, modifying trash. It's a type of trash, and the implication is that there's other types of trash. Perhaps "mature trash".
It also implies that the reviewer is an expert in trash. He not only knows about trash in general, he is such an expert that he classifies trash into multiple categories. Most people consider trash to be worth very little consideration. The consider trash to be trash, and don't waste any more time thinking about it. So someone who has multiple classifications of trash might be though of as a "trash fetishist". One wonders about why this reviewer fetishizes trash, and exactly what form his (possibly obscene) fantasies about trash could take.
There. Now that is the proper way to take two words and twist them into a slur against a reviewer's character. Yours was a good attempt, but needed some improvement. Hope that helps.
The electricity wasn't going through you to ground. It was going through you because you were touching something else that was plugged in on the opposite polarity.
A lot of equipment has a wire to care the hot side inside the box, but the grounded side is the box itself. Sort of like a car. Obviously, if you reverse the plug in the outlet (one side of the 120VAC is actually ground, and one side carries 120VAC) then your case is going to carry the 120VAC. The equipment doesn't notice, because the rectifier can turn that into DC too. But your equipment case was hot.
If you had another device that was plugged in properly (your guitar?) (effects box) and you were touching that at the same time, current would flow right across your body.
dry skin resistance = 500,000 ohms voltage of your power supply = 20 millivolts, or.02 volts.
I=E/R =.02/500000 = 4E-8 amps current
What that means is that I'll grab your power supply with both hands. The most it could push through my body is.00000004 amps, which wouldn't hurt a fly.
NI = National Instruments GPIB = IEEE 488 - General Purpose Interface Bus. It's common on test equipment. It's 8-bit parallel, and can transfer about 1 megabit per second.
I would bet that every state allows a shopkeeper to detain a thief such as described. An armful of DVD's would not require a search to detect. In Texas, you could even get shot for that.

You must not have studied much then.

I am very confused. You are implying that there is a difference between spammers and fraudsters. If this is true, then my head will asplode.

Boy do I feel like a dork!

It's a shame that you threw it away. All you needed to do was reverse the power plug in the socket.
