I'm working on my MBA right now and about half of my class are engineers from Lockheed, Northrop, Harris, and a few other defense contractors. Not exactly dopes. The MBA was originally designed for engineers to obtain some business skills.
There are plenty of other ways to socialize your kid beside sending them to school. You can have them go to Karate two nights a week, soccer two nights, piano/music lessons one night a week, and maybe an art class or two. Then it's up to you as a parent what your child learns, instead of some public school. Plus you'll actually meet the people teaching your child, as opposed to some 23 year old who just graduated and needed a job.
I don't think the homeschoolers of today are the same ones of 25-30 years ago. Most parents I know who intend to homeschool are not religious nuts. They just don't want their kids to go to government schools for obvious reasons.
We use iManage from Interwoven. It integrates directly into Microsoft Office, so it will keep your analysts happy. You can use Oracle or SQL Server. It does version control, permissions, and is fairly easy administrate. For 15 licenses its about $1.5k a year to maintain and I don't know the initial cost off the top of my head. Anyhow, we like it in our 20 person firm.
What these programs bank on is that people will fail to get 20 other people to sign up. Lets say that just a tenth of a percent actually get all 20 who actually complete the offers. So 1000 or so complete an offer. The company gets its commission of $10 or so, they will make $10k, and have to purchase a $2500 product to do so. It's actually hugely profitable for them to do so. On the other hand, my single link on slashdot has gotten roughly 50 more people to sign up (with about 10 being fake, thanks liar@dev.null). I'll be more than happy to come back in a month and admit defeat or victory.
I recently purchased a 7800GTX for work and was surprised about the additional power consumption needed. A regular Joe Blow probably doesn't have the resources needed to even use one of these $500 cards.
I've got a Dell Precision 370 and after plugging in my new card, I don't have power cables left to go anywhere else. It would be nice if they could just draw off the motherbboard power. Now my home PC is a different beast, but there's something about taking home expensive work resources that my employer frowns upon.
Poor economy? Show me some numbers buddy. I live in Orlando, our unemployment here is 3.8% - unemployment nationally is slightly above 5%, interest rates are low, and we have the most homeowners now than any other time in history. What's so bad about this economy?
I think this belongs in the www.slashdot.org/blog part of the website, right near the "my dad won't let me borrow the keys" post and under the "Favorite Music: Mega Man X Remix" line.
I've got a buddy who works at in the space division at Boeing - when I asked him how come we don't just use Apollo tech to get back into space, he gave me a fairly interesting history lesson. All the data for the space programs of the 50's, 60's, and 70's was systematically destroyed while the programs were current. They didn't want any plans to leak, so every two months all the paperwork was destroyed. This ensured that nobody could get all the information in one place besides extremely high ranking officials. That is why they are reverse engineering that last Apollo rocket in Alabama.
I the government demand that all citizens drive 2 seated SMART cars. Moving your entire family is not our problem, as you are a fool for buying a vehicle that will move 6 people. You should not have had 4 children and your next child will be aborted compliments of the government. You will require 3 cars to move everybody, because government funded studies have proven that driving 3 cars makes more sense than driving 1. Those not driving these new "smart" cars will be shot on sight, survivors will be dragged into our prisons.
If you want to read some kooky stuff about all of this, check out EnterpriseMission.com that guy has tons of interesting stuff about the moons. Sure, there are some segments that are to far out there, but it makes for an interesting read. He predicted half of this stuff and was a big wig at NASA for a while.
I had a circuits professor who had either done some contract work or worked at Google back in 2000. He told me and a couple other students that they used Salckware and ran the entire site from RAM, OS and all. Before that talk I never new you could run entire systems directly from RAM. Wild.

No way! Timothy Zahn is where it's at. With crazy Admiral Thrawn. And his art collection. And a super hot red head who's name was Jade something.

Does this article in Wired change your mind at all? http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,64614,00.html .

This is my first time trying one of these things, I hope it actually arrives.
Kinda like the State Science Institute in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.
I think you forgot to mention the hugely popular Mario Brothers movie... By far my favorite 2:00 TBS Afternoon Movie.

You must be one of those "open minded liberals" we hear so much about...

Very interesting, I'll pass this along to my friend. That space.com link is very resourceful too. Thanks all.

Michael Moore said it so it must be true.
What were they designed for?
Your cooperations is appreciated,

How do I go about getting hired there? I imagine is a still a short corporate ladder.
Amen!
Did mom not cook you what you wanted tonight?

oh come on mods, that wasn't trolling.
