  1. no thanks on The Simpsons The Movie? · · Score: 1

    I'm inclined to keep watching my favorite show on TV. Beyond the satisfaction of hearing Bart and Homer swear, I can't think of any other reason that a movie version would be better.

  2. Re: Not a small step from mandatory seatbelts on UK Satellites May Keep Cars From Speeding · · Score: 1

    Considering that police can perform DNA sweeps in England, going door-to-door and getting blood sample from everyone in a neighborhood to match them against the criminal's DNA, I am not at all surprised if this becomes a reality. Seatbelts aint the half of it!

  3. UW-W - have the best of both worlds on High Intensity Computer Colleges? · · Score: 1

    Here at the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater, I have the foundation and the latest technologies together. The award winning program of Management Computer Systems teaches algorithms in PASCAL and c++, then INTENSE study of data structures in c++. After a general database course with SQL, we learn database programming and Client/Server programming with Delphi. I am now in a Client/Server LAN which uses HTML, JavaScript, and Java. I am also now taking assembly. Next semester I'll be taking network engineering (I don't know what new languages, if any, I'll be learning, though. probably a lot of TCP/IP). The only bad thing is that we have to take COBOL! This is likely to change soo, though - the professors are constantly revising the curriculum. Other courses include systems analysis and design, computer architecture, and Visual Basic. The program does have a business bent, which I am not nuts about, but when I get out into the real world, business courses will be invaluable. Average class size - about 25. Good colleges are out there, you just need to find them. Oh yes, next semester I will be using asp and cold fusion in my SAD project. See?
