university need some change but Wikipedia like? To big of a jump. You need work it in to smaller ways as you don't want a Wikipedia like system to look like a joke.
But university and HR need to change there views on higher ed.
* Costs needs to go down books as well. Having Wikipedia like books may work good at a much lower price and is able to keep up with newer technologies
* There seems to be to much filler college courses that push costs up. Some Basic courses are ok but chemistry or history for all? Some filler courses are fun but why should I have to use more time / funds to get a Degree with filler for stuff out side of by field?
* 2 Years is fine for most jobs and wanting 4 years or a MS to just get a level 1 job start is to much and just leads to high school loans.
* Look at tech schools (not the on line ones) There courses planes are more on topics then board CS courses at some of the big university and the tech school are more up to date on newer technologies.
* To many collages put to much in to there Sports teams over education.
and get poor PSU and other cheap parts better to pay more / build your own and get better parts and not some 2gb ram system with on board video (VGA only) that eats ram. Get a least 4gb and on board is fine as long it has DVI / HDMI.
This is why comcast can not buy NBC! If you think NO CSN Philly on dish and Directv is bad just wait for it be the rest of the comcast channels, THE CSN RSN's and NBC channels + golf and VS.
Ii's good comcast only has 20% of CSN Chicago and the teams have 80%
You thing no VS on Directv was bad no FSN / NETGEO / FX on DISH is much bigger.

This is why A la carte cable / sat television is needed bad.
why do the few systems with rented moxi boxes do 2 way with VOD and SDV but when you buy a moxi and rent a cable card NO VOD and SDV needs the add on box?
They have theme packs and pick and some All a carte cable.
Why can't you buy the same box comcast uses that has cable card in it?
Why is cable card locked out of VOD?
Why do you need a add on SDV tuner?
Why do some cable rent moxi boxes that can do SDV and VOD but when you buy your own NO VOD and SDV needs add on box?
Why is the RCN TVIO that can do VOD rent only and forces you to buy RCN HSI as well?
Why can comcast trun on the same cable box they have on there systems that you can buy in Canada systems the only change is the firmware and how hard is it for the box to download new firmware?
most will be happy with a MATE Imac or a system with imac hardware without the screen.
Apple is pushing games on the mac now but the hardware does not say that as the.
MAC MINI $700 for a system with a old core 2 cpu only 2gb ram + 5400RPM HD + on board nvidia video is not that good of a system and it only has 2gb ram. Now make it a little bigger to have a full size HDD and 4gb base ram with 4 slots and I3 / I5 cpu or a AMD cpu then for $800 can have a better system maybe give a PCIX16 slot (2 wide) for a video card (system can also have on board video) + a X4 slot for 1 other card. But all of that is not needed some of the old g4 / g5 uses may just want a full size HDD + at least 4 ram slots with a up to date cpu and good on board video.
Imac have weak video cards for there screen size. starting at $1200 for a ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256MB + 3.06GHz Intel Core i3 on a 21.5-inch screen and maxing out at $2000 for a ATI Radeon HD 5750 with 1GB + 2.8GHz Intel Core i5 (add $200 for a 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7) on a 27-inch screen. $2000 only 4gb ram?
Mac pro over kill hardware price Do you realy need a 1k PSU for a 1 cpu system with a ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB GDDR5.
Mac pro at $2500 comes with a W3530 cpu about $300 (same price area as the i7-930) but apple only puts 3gb ram in and only a ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB of GDDR5 (add $200 for a ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB)
But when you can get good I7 systems with 6gb ram and a better or the same video card for $1000-$1500. Where is the that extra $1000+ going a full boxed copy of Windows 7 Ultimate is only $300 oem full is like $200 and big oem like dell pay less.
There are people who may not want to play games but for $2500 you should get a Nvidia Quadro or ATI fire pro ATI FireGL card.
Alot of people with old g4 / g5 towers may just want a good desktop at $1000-$1500 and for that a card like ATI Radeon HD 5770 is fine.
If apple wants to get in to games then $2000+ should get you SLI or crossfire video.

$2000 gets you a pc with I7 and likely SLI video / 1 high end video card + 6gb ram not just a 1 socket Xeon that is just about same price / speed as a i7 920 / 930 + mid rage video with 3gb system ram no apple wants $2500 for that also apples 1K psu is over kill for hardware is the base system.
AS for the imac apple just needs one with a mate screen.
also with the laptops apple needs a lower priced 17" screen system $2,299.00 or $1800 just to get a 15" screen? 13" is to small and there are pc with 17" under $1000 but apple wants $1800 just for a 15"?

but $2500 for a 1 cpu base system is too high cut it down to $2000.
also apple should make the mini more like $500-$600.
and why not have a imac like system without the screen or at least a mate imac.
apples pushing games on mac and the video cards are not there and with the imac the card in the system is weak for the screen size.
Apple needs a desktop mini tower at $1000-$1500

The mini is priced a little to high and only a core2 cpu?
the imac are nice but the price is a little and high + the lack of a mate screen is a trun off and there lots of people who don't want to be locked in to a screen.
also the imac is weak in video card area for it's price.
The mac pro is cool but the base system needs to take $1000+ off it's price and boast the ram to 4gb min.

What about the year 0 debate? did we even start it on time as well it can be like 1-5 years each way off as well.

Tiger direct inventory is in naperville IL.
And there you can get same day stuff from there inventory.
and get poor PSU and other cheap parts better to pay more / build your own and get better parts and not some 2gb ram system with on board video (VGA only) that eats ram. Get a least 4gb and on board is fine as long it has DVI / HDMI.
software? dell wants like $150-$300 for office + over priced ram (Dell warranties may not like you having 3rd part ram)
the RSN's and Disney are the high cost ones.
Most other channels are like $0.20 /M or less per SUB.

put it in a wormhole and have it jump over earth!
some system had analog cable scrambled for all channels.
And there is something in there about making any set top box they lease also available for sale.
in canada you can buy the box and not pay the rent on it.
why do the few systems with rented moxi boxes do 2 way with VOD and SDV but when you buy a moxi and rent a cable card NO VOD and SDV needs the add on box?
They let you BUY THE BOX or RENT IT.
They have theme packs and pick and some All a carte cable.
Why can't you buy the same box comcast uses that has cable card in it?
Why is cable card locked out of VOD?
Why do you need a add on SDV tuner?
Why do some cable rent moxi boxes that can do SDV and VOD but when you buy your own NO VOD and SDV needs add on box?

and that you pay for incoming txt and over sea calls.
As well background data on the iphone / smart phones when you are roaming.
also in the Detroit area you can be Roaming to in Canada while still on the us side and end up paying big time.
where is the stargate map?
so apple wants app store like lock down for txt is voice next?
Just will make more people want to jail brake.
The hotels can say it's not free but part of the room rate / hotel resort fee.
some hotels use cable likey the same one that tv comes from.
