I am sure your education was top notch. But certain sectors, you need to have a certain branded degree. This guy stated in another post that he is going into the Air Force, for certain career fields in the military, you need to have a degree that the military will recognize. Getting a history degree with a certification in developement may not be good enough. So depending on which career field he chooses, he also needs to choose what kind of degree to get. Also, if he chooses another career all together like patent law, it is also important that he goes and gets a computer science degree from a USPTO approved accredited Universitiy.

While majors like Computer Science prepare graduates to design and create computer software, majors like Computer Engineering prepare students to design and create computer hardware, and majors like Management Information Systems prepare graduates to become informed users of information technology, another way of thinking about the IST major is that it prepares graduates to bridge the gap that often exists in the workplace between the providers of information technology and the end users of the technology.
I didn't say your degree was less than CS or that it's not worth anything. But it is still not a Computer Science degree. It's a different program with emphasis on different things.
The guy is trying to do Air Force ROTC. If he is doing the same thing my friend was doing then, yes he needs to have a degree in some sort of sciences or engineering in order to get into a specific Air Force program.
Something that doesn't work right now, might work in the future that's still useful. That's why the patent office grants ridiculous patents to seemingly things that may or may not work and the costs of proving it is too much. A perpetual motion device is at one extreme. But the costs of granting a patent like that is low. Because it will never work, no one will try to commercialize that patent or litigate the patent. Its stupid, I agree, but no harm no foul as far as I am concerned.
The requirement of a patent has to show that it is new and useful, but you don't have to prove it works to get that patent. Perpetual motion device, would be quite useful, but difficult to prove and I am 100% sure it is impossible, inventing cold fusion would also be quite useful but very difficult to prove.
I worked as a teller at a bank. I gave my two weeks. They asked me to give a letter of resignation. I actually wrote what I thought. Next day, they gave me my two weeks of pay and told me not to come back.
In my jurisdiction, it is not against the law. From what I understand it is that it's a slander issue rather than an employment issue. If you say, oh we fired that guy because he was lazy. Well then that comment may have hurt that guy's chances at another job because it may or it may not be true, and that guy can sue for slander and receive damages. So to prevent that, the company just refuses to give a reason.
Getting a patent doesn't mean it works. To prove something works is too expensive for small companies or individuals, it actually is to their benefit for the patent office to approve more broadly. If the patent application gets more expensive, which would happen if there is if you had to "prove" your invention, by making up a mock up, then only large corporations would hold patents. System is broken, but this part of the system I don't think is.
Unlike copyrights, under the current law, patents are awarded to flesh and blood heart beating individuals and not corporations. Corporations can be assigned a patent but cannot be credited for inventing stuff. In fact failure to name all relevant inventors in a patent application may result in an invalidated patent years down the line.
The DS was preselling for 200 bucks before Nintendo cut the price to 149, and the earlier this year cutting the price to 129, and Mario Kart DS bundles selling for 149, which cuts the system price to 115. So I can see a Revolution announced at 200 or 249, released, and prices come down to 100-150 dollar for each system. For a hard core gamer, where a single game for the Xbox 360 costs 70 dollars, I can see them picking one up in addition to their Xbox 360.
Processors do work this way, if and only if they are in the same processor family and if they are running at the same bus speed. Twice as much clock speed means twice as faster processor. Of course there are other factors which may mean that Xbox 360 is 20 times faster than the Game Cube or that Game Cube is actually more powerful than an Xbox. But its a good rule of thumb, like comparing cars with horsepower. A BMW with 200 horsepower will outrun a front wheel drive Honda with the same amount of horsepower. But if you had a 800 HP Honda, you can confidently say that it is 4 times as powerful as the BMW, although in real life it is likely that it wouldn't be 4 times faster than a BMW.
I know ghz doesn't mean much. But Game Cube has a 400 mhz processor and the Xbox 360 has 3 core processor running at 3ghz. Meaning Xbox is almost 8 times as powerful. As far as graphics, 360 probably won't look that much better than Nintendo. But with the extra processing power of the Xbox, developers can use more complicated AI, less load time, more monsters on the screen, ability to download stuff in the background, stream music, make you breakfast in bed. Etc...
Please look up the discrimination against the Buraku, Koreans, Okinawans, and the Ainu. Thanks.

Pol Pot wasn't killing people to reduce famine and disease, he was killing people, so he would have a communist utopia of farmers and workers, void of intellectuals and enemies. Dictators are not rational. They don't do a cost benefit analysis, that's why they are called dictators, they dictate, there is no consensus among their underlings on the best course of action. Besides, non facist governments kill and commit genocide as much as their non facist counterparts.
They tried that once with the 3d0 or was it some other system, you could buy a board, plug it into your computer and then play 3d0 games. I don't think they actually ever sold it. It's really not a new idea, Apple Pipin anyone?
There have been some case law where private entities cannot prevent you from speech even on their own property. An example of this is public spaces like outdoor shopping centers, company towns, private colleges. Of course arguing this as it applies to cyberspace probably won't pass the laugh test.

Hand cranking that sucker would take arms of a popeye though.
Fox also broadcasts in 720p. Apparently football looks better in progressive.

You do realize that your degree and a computer science degree is not necessarily the same thing right?

Capcom is also porting the original Playstation Resident evil to the DS.

What's ironic, is that RIM sued Palm for its invention on the thumb keyboard. So RIM is getting its just deserts.

I don't think Walmart was selling bundles.
It is, if the law suit is without basis. See Rule 11 in Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
