Actually it is possible, and people do it all the time. Some earn scholarships, use AP credit from HS, have help from parents, or just work hard. I worked 25-30 hrs/week with a 3/4 course load and full time in summer with a 1/4 course load, tuition was $2000/semester so I paid $5k/yr, rent was $2500/yr. I worked full time during christmas break and other school breaks, bought textbooks online, rode a bicycle (w/ snow goggles in winter), no grants, minimal scholarship money, no debt. With no car and no cell phone, and by not living on campus, you can save a lot of money. If you find yourself short on cash, take less classes that semester, and take more hours at work.

Mormons believe the bible and in it that Jesus Christ, is the son of God, died on the cross, and was resurrected. Doesn't that make them christians? What makes them different from other christians is the fundamental belief that Jesus Christ also visited one of the lost tribes of Israel after he was resurrected "other sheep I have not of this fold..." as recorded in the Book of Mormon.
The site that goes over their beliefs is actually http://mormon.org/
For instance http://mormon.org/faq/baptism-for-the-dead is actually from the bible

Where the heck is Xhengzhou? I have been looking for Mew York and Ros Angeles too, and can't find those either.

Slashdot editors... please change the name of the company in the summary to "DigiCert Sdn. Bhd." which does identity card business, to avoid confusion with US based "DigiCert Inc".

DigiCert Inc is a major SSL CA used by Yahoo, Facebook and others.

Because ubuntu laptops in sleep mode still eat battery, most people will turn their laptop off to save battery. Ergo, ubuntu laptops get turned on and off 2-3x per day, and 8-10x for students, so boot time does matter.

I have always been confused when I see ubuntu boot-up times. Does this mean boot to the login screen or boot to a usable desktop via 'autologin'?

So I downloaded it, and then ran pdftotext on it. http://pastebin.com/gXqKceEZ No story here. Just a rant from Ben Rooney. He'll feel like an idiot when he realizes its just a PDF.

When he says 'switch to gmail' he really means switch to google apps for business. This allows you to use the gmail interface @yourbusiness.com

Yes. The ipod touch can be purchased (refurbished 2nd gen) from apple.com for $149. You can get free graphing calculator apps. And it has 65k colors. Casio is probably doing this as a result of ipod touch pressure more than anything else.

"Judge Lucie Fournier ordered Guerbuez to pay $100 US in damages and $100 US in punitive damages for each of the 4,366,386 spam messages he sent..."
4,366,386 * 200 USD = $873 million USD, not quite 1 billion

Thats neat that they use SMS confirmation for call display for only $14 CDN. Is that a one time fee or an annual fee? In the US skype-in allows you to use your skype-in number for call display. Its too bad about skype-in not being available in canada. I plan to move back there some day and would love it if my skype hardware (standalone skype phone and my ipod touch+microphone+skype) would just work with a CDN phone number. Its funny that its currently owned by the 'Canada Pension Plan Investment Board' which is a government board, and its the government laws that explicitly outlaw skype-in for something related to 911 laws.

Ctrl C and Ctrl V work in most gnome apps (see: gedit), but the ones that don't you can customize the app that way: example gnome-terminal (the console). However there is a good reason:

Ctrl-C the C is for cancel, so CTRL-C in gnome-terminal kills the current process. But the same things happens in XP's console (cmd.exe), CTRL-C won't copy and CTRL-V won't paste (for the same reasoning).
