I'm working on my BS in CS now, it's accredited by the DETC. They also offer a masters program in CS.
Basically, you get your books and a study guide shipped to you. The study guide divides the course up into sections called modules that specify which chapters to read, and also give some followup information. There are also CBT's and study questions. Usually with each course there are 3-4 written assignments, 2-3 Tests, and a comphrehensive final that you can take at your local library. The professors are very helpful, and you reach them through email, a toll free number, or by fax.
The courses are comparable in quality to what you'd get at a normal public university.

I don't know if it's worth $99 (only because I'm cheap), but one practical reason of the Ebook reader would be to view an Ebook in Linux. As Adobe doesn't sell or provide any readers for them. I shouldn't have to use Windows to read a book that I bought, and the Advanced Ebook Processor is the only way I know of that would allow me to read it on my chosen platform.
According to this
article on zdnet, Corel corp is "refocusing" not relinquishing their Linux products and plans.
In this article Burney is quoted as saying: Corel's Linux team is "segmenting" its product line in a new way so that it will offer tailored file-, Web-, and print-server configurations of its Linux distribution, which is based on Debian Linux
I was just curious to see if anyone here after seeing this was more likely to vote for John Hagelin. He clearly comes off as more intelligent and qualified to lead than GWB here.
How have these postings on slashdot influenced your vote?
I think it is great that more candidates are getting exposure through this forum.
Remember, vote for the candidate that most matches your views, not for the "lesser of two evils." The only wasted votes are those not cast and those for candidates that you really don't want in office.
Striking A Balance On Encryption
Between Privacy Interests and National Security
I believe that the best encryption policy is one that balances our commercial and privacy interests with national security and law enforcement concerns.
The current Administration has worked hard to achieve that balance -- a balanced encryption policy that increases privacy and security for families and businesses, while addressing the legitimate needs of national security and law enforcement. This year, for instance, the Administration has allowed U.S. companies to export strong encryption to Europe and other major allies without a license, a move that was praised by the computer industry.
Under our policy, any widely available encryption product can also be exported to anyone except the seven state supporters of terrorism. I believe that technologies like encryption are now more important than ever to our economy and to electronic commerce.
As president, I will support encryption policies that allow companies to compete internationally, while also protecting our vital national security interests.

Protecting Privacy
I believe that strong encryption products enhance consumer privacy.
In October 1999, I proposed fundamental reform of the U.S. high technology export system -- including encryption export laws -- to allow companies to export products when those products are already readily available in foreign or mass markets, while building high walls around technologies of the highest sensitivity. The current system needlessly penalizes U.S. businesses while failing to strengthen our national security.
Strong encryption products are an important tool that gives Americans absolute control over his or her personal information. I believe that it is especially important to protect highly sensitive medical, genetic, and financial information.
I share many people's concerns that, with the advent of the Internet, personal privacy is increasingly at risk, and I am committed to protecting personal privacy for everyone. Though industry now appears to be making some efforts to meet consumer demands for privacy protection, as President I will ensure:
Notice and Consent. Everyone has the right to know what information is collected and how it will be used, and to accept or decline the collection or dissemination of this information - particularly financial and medical information.
Access. Individuals have the right to correct any inaccurate personal information.
Security. Institutions must provide sufficient security to prevent unauthorized access to personal information.
The Clinton Administration has repeatedly been slow to recognize the realities of the international market for encryption products regulated by our nation's export laws. Rather than act in a timely way to keep export limits in line with technology available from foreign sources, the Administration has threatened exporters with outdated rules blocking sales of widely available commercial technology.
In addition, unlike Gore's "reinvented" government which has failed to protect the personal information of Americans, my own Web site sets a high privacy standard. The August 17, 2000 Los Angeles Times "E-Review" examines the two major campaigns' Web sites and concludes, "If the presidential election were based on Internet sites, E-Review would give the edge to Texas Gov. George W. Bush." At GeorgeWBush.com, "visitors still must opt in to be included on Bush's mailing lists. E-commerce sites that profess to care about protecting their customers' privacy would do well to follow this lead."
"Third parties have contributed huge ideas to American politics, from the abolition of slavery, to a woman's right to vote, to child labor laws. Their relatively recent exile to the margins of American political life is highly unfortunate. A Reason to Vote gives us the information we need to bring third parties back to center stage."

Depends how you go about it. It can be very expensive, or it can be very cheap.
Produce tends to be my greatest expense, for fresh fruit and vegetables.
I tend to buy lentils, beans and whatnot in bulk.
Rice, pasta, and potatoes are not too expensive.
Even rice milk can be purchased for 80 cents a quart, which is less than normal milk.
Bread that is vegan tends to be expensive around, so I bake my own.
Of course, if you start buying fake ice cream and whatnot, then it becomes a lot more expensive.
Learn to cook. If you're paying $7 for a sandwich you can make yourself for less than $1 then you aren't being fiscially responsible.
My rent is $315/month in a 1 bedroom apartment that I share with my gf. (So we're each only paying 168)
Consider becoming vegan, you'll save $$$ and benefit the environment.
You're living in an expensive area. Houses around here are about 120k. I'm in the Midwest.
The Virtual Job Fair hasn't started yet. You're jumping the gun a bit, which is likely why it isn't working for you.
