If you are on I-95 in the NYC Yonkers area you'll see a cell phone tower rigged on top of a yellow brick chimney like that. I saw it a while ago and it was a wierd technology meets old-school type of feeling.
I think you (as in Slashdot or whoever wrote this article) could have shown the hotornot webmasters a little bit more respect.. I wouldn't exactly like being written off as a "fad website" if I did all that hard work.
Tom's Hardware was widely criticized for being influenced by nVidia. This was..in the past year or so. Anyway, what happened was, there was a symbol on Tom's page that said "official nvidia seal" signifying a "high quality site" As it turns out, all of Tom's reviews were pro-nvidia. I'm not saying he was getting in bed with nvidia, mind you...(general consensus is that 3Dfx dropped the ball) I swear...3Dfx could have been the MS of video cards...
One of the worst IT programs? Are you in it? Its a common belief that IT (at RIT) is easy. For the lower level classes I'll agree with you. IT is such a diverse subject, that RIT is forced to INTRODUCE as much of it to you as they possibly can...(database, programming, networking, web design, etc) Meanwhile, CS is programming. and programming... While CS gets progressively harder, IT bounces from one intro class to another. I didn't realize when i went to RIT that I'd like to get into networking. IT helped me realize that, now I have concentration classes (and difficult ones btw) for me to focus upon. Which brings me to my point..the learning curve is just delayed...it does get harder.
