Worker's bill of rights? That sounds like a document that would be written by something called... wait for it... a union.

Nowadays, like it or not, that word is synonymous with "mafia" and "over-regulation of the free market", just the way our corporate overlords prefer it.

Here on /. all the kids think it means "too much of a pussy to demand a raise", which just goes to show how the battles won by our parents for our benefit are forgotten by their grandkids.

Go fuck yourself, troll. Way to hijack a thread, you must be proud!
"Offtopic" is "While we're talking about monitor resolution for brand X, I noticed that the audio quality has problems as well", not "Iran has a new helicopter, hur durr Iran nukes?" Iran also has a lot of gay hookers, but you don't see me bringing that up.

Whichever moderater gave this dickhead a +1 insightful, go eat a bag of dicks, you lazy fuckwit. The only stories that get more offtopic troll threadjacking than stories about Israel/Iran are the ones about Google/Apple.

Mod +1 retro!

Let's face it, edjimication isn't getting any cheaper... and my understanding (based on a not-very rigorous survey of people I personally know, some of whom are tenured professors at the college level in the US) is that more and more young folk are going the way of trade schools (in the traditional sense).

Why get crazy in debt for a liberal arts degree when you can get real world skills for less of a financial outlay?
Pros: -Get a job in an actual career (someone mentioned refrigerator repair earlier-- doesn't sound sexy, but fixing things and working with your hands appeals to a lot of people)
-Don't spend the rest of your life in debt
-Learn in an environment where people are there to learn (a lot of college pukes I see are there to party on their parent's dime)

Cons:
-Accredation?
-Unsure about the qualifications of a teacher who doesn't/can't get a regular teaching gig
-Facilities? I don't want to learn welding at a college where safety gear is "donated"!

There's been some important precedents set-- Black Mountain College had a similar model.

Jesus... that's the funniest thing I'm gonna read all day... might as well start drinking!

Where's the gamemaker guy when you need him? You two should get a room.

I saw that episode, it was one of the better shows from the "new" series (not the black and white series from the 60s)

These posts bear a startling similarity to some of the work of the late, great Michael Kristopeit, whose shadow you would probably cower under.

You're completely pathetic.



That was fun, let's do it again sometime.

First we have the over-the-top slashvertisement with the Plan****tronix thing last week, and now this not-news-for-nerds news story. I go to other news sources when I want straight-up national, international, or pop-culture news, and I like it that way. Don't get peas in my carrots!

Is slashdot getting this desperate for ad clicks?
