I met Todd at a dinner party, he also has a magnetic implant in his arm which bottle caps will stick too. Anyways here is part of that conversation from that evening:
Some friend of his whose a girl: The magnet in his arm gets him laid all the time, ask him. Me: So do you get laid a lot because you have the magnet. Todd: It isn't like I get laid from it everyday, but yeah once in awhile. All my friends in near unison: I want a magnet in my arm.
Whether a university is accredited is not the only thing that matters for getting into grad school. Even of real, as in sit in a class, universities are treated substantially differently. Besides as other people have alluded to, for grad school letters of rec are one of the most important factors. I doubt you could get a worthwhile letter of rec from a prof you only "met" online. Not to mention, I doubt the professors teaching online are worthwhile to get letters of rec from. There is a famous saying "it's not what you know, it's who you know." A good letter of rec from someone the professors at the other school know can be priceless.
A few select online courses and an entire online degree seem worlds apart to me. The name on the diploma is actually worth something, so is interacting with fellow students and the professors. Lord help whoever tries to get a letter of recommendation from someone they have never met.
I don't mean to be mean, but sometimes certain people need to be weeded out of programs. I hate to criticize someone, but six times on a titration experiment? After the first time you fail you think you'd learn from your mistakes. As a former mechenical engineering major who switched to be a mathematics major I can empathize. I came from a good high school and took many challenging courses and did well on many AP test. College is quite a transation in many ways, it can be a difficult one. However, if you are failing out of Discrete Mathematics (the easiest math course, besides college algebra) and you can't handle the experiments in a chem lab, maybe you aren't cut out to be an engineer. The courses are challenging, at least you found out early on that you weren't up to it.
Economist claim to maximize profits a company should charge where maginal cost is equal to the price. In that case they should be giving away all their music for free. But then again there isn't competition.
RTFA the article clearly states "switching from a Unix server platform to Linux running on Itanium." I don't think it would be cheaper for a company to switch from Unix to Linux when they would being roughly the same in service contracts. Further it is a huge pain in the ass to switch the entire company's os without breaking anythng. And most importantly they were using UNIX, so I highly doubt MS is giving them money not too switch. And to think you got modded up.
It use to take almost two years for a movie to get to rental and even longer to own, now it takes about 3 months and everyone has dvd player. Has anyone ever considered that this might be a huge competition? It is cheaper, where I live at least, to buy a movie than pay for two tickets to see it. Only a small percentage of movie goers are set on seeing the movie when it first comes out, and that is only for a small subset of movies. Besides, with all the dvd purchases, and now television shows going for absurd prices does anyone really feel sorry for the studios?
I don't think you can sue someone for being a bad lawyer. Maybe negligence, but not being good. Besides I think more of it is the judges fault. Ohh well, live and learn.
Let me tell you about taking a lawyer. First off, I live in Arizona, where you can be written a ticket for "imprudent driving," not violating the speed limit. So I take a lawyer, there is no prosecutor just the cops testimony. The cop never provided any evidenve or testimony that she was certified to operate the radar gun, or that I was driving unsafely, just that I was going -- over the speed limit. Plus she didn't know how big the radar beam was at the distance she illuminated me with it. Anyways long story short, I had to pay the ticket and my lawyer's fees.
Could someone explain how they can make 28 movies at a cost of $1-2 million a piece for $21 million. They must have some impressive accountants or something.
Some people legitametly share their internet with others, it may be irresponsible, but it is what it is. I have bought two wireless routers and helped a friend set up a third, all different brands, and they all say that if you don't secure it anyone can use it. It is not secret knowledge that an open AP is open. I find it hard to call something stealing when there is no tangible harm, but further there is a lot of ambiguity between sharing and stealing. Several local coffee shops have open wifi routers, but they post signs alerting to it for advertisement. Putting the most basic encryption seems good enough to let people know you aren't sharing, or turning off your broadcast ID at least. Windows is set by default to connect to the strongest wifi signal. It seems to me the industry standard is open means shared. Some may disagree that people don't realize what they are doing, but I have little sympathy for the ignorant who refuse to glance at a small pamphlet containing the information.
Post post script: My cousin leaves his AP unprotected, not because he is ignorant or lazy, but because he doesn't care if anyone uses his internet. It's called sharing, some people need to go back to kindergarden.
I don't know if you were trying to use an anology, but it was an awful one if you were trying. Many people leave their AP unprotected to share it. That might seem like communism to some, but some people don't care. It's more like having a candy jar at the front desk of an office. It doesn't say please help yourself, but the assumption is if your curtious it is okay to take a piece. It's not hacking into an AP, the guy was sharing it to his neighbors. Lock up the guy with the AP, not the guy using it.
P.S. The guy in the story does seem pretty scetchy. I walked down my street and have used my neighbor's internet, and I think all my friends with wifi have used somebody else's router without explicit consent at some point. What's that knocking, ohh no the FBI...
Except the liberal justices voted this way with the conservatives disenting. Although the conservatives are more strict constructionalist of the constitution.
then there would be no Minix for Linus to "copy" from, so linux would have never existed and maybe we would be using BSD instead of everyone saying BSD is dead.
It thus becomes quite clear that you use BSD instead of linux, and wish it had a much larger following.

Daniel Robbins is not the lead developer. He was forced out by the other developers. From Gentoo's website

How did this get modded insightful?

Jee whiz, a negative one.
I feel the explanation ruins the humor. However, reading an explanation of bad inneundo on wikipedia is quite hilarious.

What is your definition of liberal, because it seems are differ severely.
Except the liberal justices voted this way with the conservatives disenting. Although the conservatives are more strict constructionalist of the constitution.

by "might" I think you meant "does"
And relatives don't count, unless your from Alabama.

No, no, Linux is the bastard child of Unix. When will people get it right?
Tell me where I can get this "prospective" it is obviously superior to the amateurspective I have.
Daniel Robbins is not the lead developer. He was forced out by the other developers. From Gentoo's website
"In April 2004, Daniel decided to resign from his development responsibilities within Gentoo. We are all very grateful for all the work that Daniel has put in Gentoo and wish him the best."
Thus this should really have no impact on Gentoo.
