If you already have a well rounded resume in terms of relevant work experience and are just looking for a "piece of paper" to compliment it, then an online degree could well be just as valuable as a traditional degree. If you are using a degree as a starting block for your career then I think that an online degree would not hold the same value. If there's plenty of other meat in your resume for a potential employer to look at the source of your degree becomes less of an issue.
As mentioned on Slashdot in April of this year, NASA is planning to terminate funding to the Voyager programs. SpaceDaily has an article from earlier this year that says that funding is not available for the seven older missions (Voyager, Ulysses, Polar, Wind, Geotail, FAST and TRACE) beyond the end of NASA's fiscal year, which ends in October. Given the fact that Voyager only costs $4.1M a year, hopefully someone will realize that it's not really an effective cost saving measure before they pull the plug!
Why not? It all comes down to money. The local television station in your city pays a lot of money to syndicate the programs that you enjoy watching. Thy recover those costs by charging people to air advertisements during those programs. If you could go to an online source to watch the same programs, then the local telivision station would lose their monopoly over your viewing and hence their advertising opportunities could be reduced.
