You don't want a CS degree, you already know the computer stuff. Want you want is a mathematics degree... CS is just applied mathematics. If you don't like that option then try physics or electrical engineering.
It is unfair... I suggest you pirate it. Find a volume license key and go to town. I suggest you Google for "Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder" and download it to your USB flash drive. this will help on your quest to find a legit volume license key.
So what are they going to do when there employer uses OpenOffice? Your argument is retarded at best, we need to teach them general concepts like what a word processor or spreadsheet program is and what you can typically do with such a program. Systematically teaching them specific features, such as rote learning of menu layouts, of a vendors product is leading them down a path to failure, a perfect example of this is the new version of Microsoft office with the changed UI.
Ideally you would teach them the basics without using a computer or by using a stripped down program (Ajax apps i.e. Google Docs and Spreadsheets), leaving the specifics of a vendors product for another course.
For example: INFT 101: Document Preparation Systems using computers. INFT 102: Numerical Tabulation & Analysis using computers. INFT 103: Intro to Microsoft Word and OpenOffice Writer (prereq: INFT 101) INFT 104: Intro to Microsoft Excel and OpenOffice Calc. (prereq: INFT 102) INFT 105: Advanced Microsoft Word (prereq: INFT 103) INFT 106: Advanced OpenOffice Writer (prereq: INFT 103) etc. etc.
OpenDocument is already a ISO standard, ISO 26300. The status is 60.60, which means "International Standard published".
"ISO/IEC 26300:2006 defines an XML schema for office applications and its semantics. The schema is suitable for office documents, including text documents, spreadsheets, charts and graphical documents like drawings or presentations, but is not restricted to these kinds of documents.
ISO/IEC 26300:2006 provides for high-level information suitable for editing documents. It defines suitable XML structures for office documents and is friendly to transformations using XSLT or similar XML-based tools."
Cry me a river... If you want to use PDF then use OpenOffice, it a free download. ODF and PDF are international standards, it serves you right for using a proprietary product with proprietary formats.
Illinois is ranked 1st (93,263 gigawatt hours in 2005?) among the 31 States with nuclear capacity. Illinois has almost as much nuclear capacity by itself as the United Kingdom and twenty-one other countries with at least one nuclear plant have less capacity. The first nuclear chain reaction happened here in 1942 at the University of Chicago and we also have a kick ass particle accelerator.
The TI-86 is wonderful, the built in polynomial root solver alone is worth the price. It also does integration, derivatives, differential equations, matrix, and vector calculations. This calculator was designed for college mathematics, engineering, and science classes... You can use the TI-86 on the ACT... Don't let your calculator be a crutch though.
I've found that OOo Draw works really well for lite desktop publishing needs. If they added native table support, header & footer controls, better control over OOo Math OLE objects, and tweaked the user interface we could start to use it for real typesetting and layout work... Spin it off as the DTP application for the suite, we could call it "OpenOffice.org Style".
We need to build a fleet of rovers based on the proven design of these two. Give them some new tools and obviously fix the problems with the current ones. I think the big two would be software and wheel motors, we could also give them more efficient solar cells.
Any power supply worth it's salt will have active PFC. Any power supply with a voltage selector switch on the back of it is, by definition, not an active PFC power supply. Active PFC power supplies can automatically correct for AC input voltage, and thus is capable of accepting a full range of input voltages. In other words, they can protect your equipment from damaging brownouts and voltage surges.
I tried to do this today, but the machine reject it and the ballot was considered spoiled. The primary reason I wanted to do this was that I did not want someone else to fill in the oval without my permission. They gave me a new ballot and I decided just to leave them blank. After thinking about it, this really pissed me off. It's entirely possible that someone could fill in the oval and rerun it through the machine. I will not vote on an issue or person I know nothing about.
"The best situation for those who don't want to use proprietary drivers is to go out and find a company with open drivers and stop using nVidia products"
Sure, just as soon as you find a video card company that has open driver programming documation and specifications... I really hope AMD will open ATI's documation and Linux driver up... at the very least not require an NDA for the documation already available.
So it's the channel width, in hertz, that determines transmission rates? In other words a transmitter at 54 MHz with a 6 MHz channel width can send the same amount of information as a 2400 MHz signal with a 6 MHz channel width? And this is where whole concept of signal modulation comes into play?
So US TV channel 1 is 51 MHz to 59 MHz with a center frequeny at 54 MHz, for a total bandwidth of 6 MHz? And Shannons limit basically states that the theoretical maximum transmission rate for a finite channel width is infinite?, because: "it is still possible for the signal to take on an indefinitely large number of different voltage levels on each symbol pulse, with each slightly different level being assigned a different meaning or bit sequence."
So how do calculate the maximum transmission rate using real world limits?
How much bandwidth (data rates) is available in the VHF range? I would personally I like to see FHSS equipment for long range point to point data communications and mesh networks.

Why make it more complex then needed?... The only thing it does is make the programmer look like a retard.
Really? He was also the PM for C#, and worked for Sun prior to joining Microsoft... http://www.ilkeratalay.com/articles/vsnet_en.php
Sounds like a plan. Hopefully FSF/GNU's bans Novell and then Novell switches to a BSD toolchain... I can't stand the GNU toolchain.
You suckers got pwned! Hopefully this teaches you a lesson on why drivers and documentation should be open.

That sucked, reformat the mask with Inferno running on FreeBSD host, and put a stick of Glenda and Beastie on it.

No you don't, simply raise your prices until demand equals supply... Microeconomics 101.
