    Maybe Señor Blogger needs a new business model too.

    Since 1998, the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education and the Department of Computer Science has been offering online, experiential Information Technology courses and Certificates through Useractive, a company founded by U of I instructors and alumni. A partnership was formed with O'Reilly Media in 2002, and now in 2007 UserActive's course offerings became The O'Reilly School of Technology.

  16. Interesting but ... on SCO Vs. IBM Leaks Exposed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    With SCO's reputation being sh*t, pursuing bogus claims about Unix rights it doesn't even have, facing financial ruin, its officers potentially facing civil litigation for pissing away millions upon millions of shareholder's dollars on this crap, and a handful of other problems, I doubt they really care if they are labeled as hypocrites at this point. It's kind of like a murderer worrying about committing perjury - it can't get much worse once it's gone that far.

  19. Re:The Truth Is Taboo? on Global Warming Endangered by Hot Air? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You can't vote on scientific truth. For example, if even a majority of America is seen to believe in Global Warming in some kind of inane Gallup Poll, well tough noogies if the evidence shows otherwise (random pov, the reverse is also true). People's opinions DO NOT matter unless they are informed decisions rather than the "close-your-eyes-and-pick-one" sprt of decisions that are ruining this country. Sadly, in America we do reduce most issues to inane Gallup Polls, and Media Outlets & Political Parties tell us what is true or not (usually based on as little information as we individuals have amassed ourselves).

    Everyone's beliefs and emotions are directly involved in every decision we make and expecting the masses to make a logical and informed decision about anything is about as likely as getting everyone to agree on which lottery numbers to pick.
