A degree also shows that you have a commitment to the field in which you're pursuing. After all, you don't spend 4+ years studying something that you're not really interested in doing.
When the option was presented to me to earn my master's degree in Electrical engineering after I finished undergraduate work, I jumped at it. And I'm glad I did; it's bumped me ahead of the pack (and those l33t kiddies) when it comes to getting a job and subsequent promotions.
As someone who regularly interviews people for positions at my company, I don't just blindly say "Whoa, PhD...he's the man!". A degree, or multiple degrees, are only part of the picture of a job candidate. Oftentimes, if one candidate comes in with a BS with some co-op or intern experience, and another with an MS and no experience, the BS candidate will be chosen, as the "on the job" learning they acquired is often as valuable, if not more so, than the additional degree.
they are all friends/relatives, and I can assure you with 110% certainty that none of them read slashdot, sad as it might be. for that matter, none are linux users, either:(
I wonder how much this will hurt Nikon. Of the professional photographers I know, they're split 50/50 between Nikon and Canon. All of them use Photoshop. None of them read/. , so I hope that Nikon makes this little crippleware feature glaringly obvious on their packaging, as I'd hate to see photographers get burned by this.
For this to make any difference. My old house was only 3000 feet from a remote DSLAM. I'm now over 21000 feet from the closest DSLAM. Verizon will give me service, and gladly take my money for it, but they advised me that my speeds would be pretty sad for DSL.
hrmm..could be that it's installed on a PC in my office, where I have restricted rights, and have to install it to a network drive, and so some settings might not be saved.
regardless, I'm planning on installing it on my home PC so that I know that my site renders properly in it. and plus, i'd rather give opera a few bucks for ad-free, monopoly-free software, than shell out loads of money to MS.
Agreed...I've heard lots of hype about Opera, so I went and downloaded it, only to be assaulted by the banners and registration nags. Too bad no one has coded an AdBlock plugin for it yet;)

For me, I use Win2k at work since it's the most recent "official" version of a Microsoft OS that the gov't approves for use on their networks.

Good to see the gov't is realizing the benefits of SF and OSS...
Let's hope that Windows Update doesn't force a reboot in the middle of all of that action :)
The best way for Linux to break into the market isn't to emulate windows entirely. Oh, but it is: http://www.pen.k12.va.us/Div/Winchester/jhhs/math/ humor/comics/computer/linux.html
