I have let to see a $600 LCD look better then a $600 CRT.
CRTs: + better color + better viewing angles + Can be set to be flicker free + Cheaper (just MSRP not TOS) - larger and bulkier - many people don't know how to set their refresh rates - heat
Maybe Iâ(TM)m ignorant, but I donâ(TM)t think there is an IDE for java that comes close to Visual Studio. While VS.NET might have its problems, it is integrated very tight. As a developer I donâ(TM)t want my time taken up with simple tasks, Iâ(TM)d rather work on the interesting bits.
IMHO, I left college after two years because they weren't teaching critical thinking skills. Instead they were focused on vocational skill tracks. This has become increasing popular with American colleges as parents want to know that Johnny will be able to find a job after spending megabucks.
I don't believe schools are in the business of teaching critical thinking. The major role of k-12 schools is to provide day care and keep kids out of trouble. From there, most have reached an age where there can't wait to get away from their
parents, so most move to the local college where they learn a vocation because Whatsamatta U marketing spew boasts a 96% placement after graduation. Which would be fine and good, but, most of us change careers four times in our lives, making the vocational model a band-aid on a much larger problem.
besides, if I really want to learn more about critical thinking I will probably buy one of the 863 books listed at www.bn.com, most of which are probably used as "text books".

I bet this is wrong, but I just thought about the YouTube purchase last year.
YouTube + Old TV's + UHF Channels = user generated broadcasts to the masses with AdSense video units playing in between.
