If Professors make attendence part of the final grade, say 30% or more, then students will need to attend most of the classes to keep that grade from slipping.
My biggest beef is "dumb" questions being asked during lecture, but that's mostly due to the fact that I understand the material very quickly. Half the time I fall asleep or begin working on some other thing (program assignment for that class due next week or work for another class). Having lectures really does help so that I can go back and see if I missed something during the time I was half-listening.
Now most of my professors are using presentations done with power point and making them available. Much better than a podcast considering they're chinese(haven't even bothered to ask what they're first language actually is). Of course, your situation will vary.
Face it, Liberty, Justice, and Freedom are just a pretty words used in propaganda. They no longer effectively exist. Stop bothering to ask how dark the cloud can get when it has begun to blot out the sun.
Your body is made of lots of little parts. Most of your parts are screwed up. These can help make new parts to replace those broken parts. Any questions?
I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, but you're probably closer to the truth.
Truth is, DVD is good enough for most people. The only way those formats will become popular is if they subvert DVD shelf space at Wal-Mart and other commercial locations. Otherwise, Joe Moron won't touch it.

Weed out the business and poli sci students early and start a biofuel industry. Free fuel for everyone!
That's what I used to say during the cassette vs CD wars of the 1990s. Funny how that turned out.
Only if it would make you pop another vein.
When the desktop is so cluttered that I get called because the person can't find IE or Firefox then you know it's gone way too far.
His only indulgence is slashdot.
And such a wise indulgence it is.
You say that, but you won't really act on it either.
So next time, before you even think it, you act first.
How about when they elected Nixon's head on Futurama?
In Soviet America, sugar rubs out YOU!
Do you suggest we call it "Star Trek"? It'll probably just be called Orion, like everything else.
I can hear it now.
At Microsoft, we had a very flexible definition of "security." I would like to keep that definition alive in my work here...

One needs power to protect ideals.

Don't forget drowning. After all, witches float. If the accused doesn't float, well, it was a horrible misunderstanding...
At least I won't be the only primate able to speak and grow a sweater.
I know that there was a cartoon dog named pluto, but calling a planet named for the Lord of the Underworld a dog is insulting.
Seriously, think of our Underworld Overlords.
Neutrons of course!
Ah mercury, sweetest of the transition metals.
If you don't understand that, watch some sealab at adultswim.com Specifically, Waking Quinn(or is that Walking...). It might still be on the fix.
Fertilizer.
No, they kill plenty of breathing people every day, and they still don't care. The only difference is they feel better about it in the morning.

The lesson here? kill everyone but yourself and you won't need to hate anyone anymore. Except, maybe, yourself, but that's your problem.
Typical answer from one of the brethren.
GNo.
So you're saying that a small percentage of a population is enough to justify the fleecing of the stupid? Sorry, I don't buy it.
Then again, I am of the opinion that we need an iron fisted dictator to put the fear into people again. Terrorists just don't cut it.
