  1. I really have to say... on Firefly Movie Using Viral Marketing? · · Score: 1

    Firefly has been one of the best television series I have had the pleasure of viewing, and with the movie finally due out, I am just trying to avoid spoilers and the like.
    Heck, when I saw the preview at 40 yr old virgin I almost left thinking that was what I was there for! (To tell the truth it was)

  2. Info on Red vs. Blue Season 3 Begins · · Score: 5, Informative

    Red vs. Blue is an online web show, using Halo characters. They use the Divx codec and they are are fairly large in they're amount of work completed as you can see it being they're third season. The ones I've been able to get a hold of revolve around the Master Chief who gives orders to fully vocalized named different colored Halo characters

  3. Hope the server load isn't too much on Red vs. Blue Season 3 Begins · · Score: 0

    Hopefully the server load won't be too much for these guys, they really have faith in they're server . Red vs. Blue is Hilarious! Good Halo fun. Sir yessire Master Chief!

  4. Re:frank talk about NU on Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time? · · Score: 0

    Actually I am a bit dissapointed that there aren't any classes that are specifically geared toward any Unix variants... Although I already have knowledge on how to nav my way around one I wouldn't mind one geared towards programming in it, I actually haven't check it out for a while. Actually with IBM backing NU as well as Open Source software I would be a bit surprised if there weren't either current or future talks about such things being integrated into the curriculum. It is a new university after all and with its beginnings just the beggining of this year I don't know how the curriculum will be modified but after attending a normal community college I experienced one after a very short time so I'm not sure how set in stone this one is.

  5. Re:Let me guess on Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time? · · Score: 0

    Ahem... Actually so far a book for C# I have is an O'Reilly and the other is a collaboarations book which I'm not entirely sure who publishes it.

  7. Re:Misnomer to call it a BS on Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time? · · Score: 0

    As stated previous this isn't a two year degree... Its a two year four month degree ;). What I mean is that the hours spent for a BS at a traditional uni is the same as Northface so I don't see why everyone is up in arms about some students getting a degree that they earned in roughly the same amount of time. As previously stated this has already been previously stated in this thread about this topic.

  8. Re:Where is the passion? on Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time? · · Score: 0

    Actually in regards towards the comment about 'surviving' being front paged by slashdot (I suppose by surviving you mean didn't crash) I just realized that we have to have some incredibly robust hardware/software on the server for the site, you see we also were on the front page of cnn.com/tech today... And dang I was wondering why the network at the school wasn't running peak today.

  9. Re:Strange Approach on Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time? · · Score: 1

    No, the teachers who teach the tech courses are not the same as those who teach the gen eds. They didn't actually buy Morrison University, they partnered with them to gain their accredidation... Which I didn't really care for but they do have it so I guess we shall see.

  10. Re:hiring practices will weed this out too on Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time? · · Score: 1

    How does that have anything to do with the topic? You need to explain a bit more detail on how hiring practices will weed out northface students.

  11. Re:NU Student is outraged by idiots on Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time? · · Score: 1

    Forgive my colleague for underestimating... Allow me to elaborate... Over the past week and a half I personally have been spending a day and a half on some of my assignments that have been assigned one day and due by 1 PM the next for my C# class... Of course this is only my fourth week at the school but the amount that I have learned has been so much more than I learned back home at my other college in the year that I was there. So if someone says that Northface has an enhanced and demanding curriculum... Believe them.

  12. Re:The Rest of the Story on Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Dude if you're going to make stuff up you may as well not even post. At least the others went off of they're personal experience, you seem to not even know what your talking about. You have no idea what it is to go to Northface except what others have posted. And making fun of Grady Booch is something that is just an insult that doesn't need to go that far.

  13. I'm confused on Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time? · · Score: 1

    I'm a bit confused... Chosing to hire someone with a LA degree is your decision but I've heard guys from companies such as Oracle, IBM, UNISYS, Microsoft, and CGI say they would hire someone from Northface over someone from a regular Liberl Arts college. Don't believe me?
