Right, because Fox News would never do such a thing.

That's bizarre. I have no interest in Safari personally, but I'd expect 3-5% Safari unless you have a specific demographic that does not appeal to Apple users. Does your web site tailor to developing countries, for example?

Does your web site not work on Safari or are you reading your statistics wrong?

You sound like you don't think prison is a punishment. You do realize that inmates lose basically all their freedoms? They're confined to a small space where they cannot leave. They can only talk to the outside world at specific times dictated by them. In higher security prisons, they can't even go to the bathroom without being seen by guards. I would much rather be out in the world working for free.

It's actually just a double-S at the end. The double-S is totally cute. And a great reminder of how great life was under the Shutzstaffel's watchful eye.

I'm no PR guy, I'm an engineer. And if I were put into Hugh Griffiths' shoes, I'm not so sure I'd have answered the questions any differently. He knows the product sucks: It's more expensive, non-transferable, and behind the times technically. He's probably IMMENSELY frustrated that they could only release this crap given the building products they have to work with. So, he grits his teeth, does an interview, and does his best to not say anything negative. But you can just tell he's disappointed.

If I were him, actually, I wouldn't have done the interview. That's probably his big mistake.

"Almost before we SOHO became everyday market speak."

*confused eyebrows* .... I think Novell has already become irrelevant, but I have no clue what SOHO is.

I second your recommendation of the University of Manchester. I studied abroad there in 1999, computer science degree. I had the advantage that I took an overload of classes every year at my home university (University of Virginia), so I had a lot of freedom to take non-computer science classes, but I did enjoy taking classes in Optical Computing and Artificial Intelligence. The former was not even taught at my university, which created a problem when it came to transferring credits but with some approvals it was accepted.

What I most liked about the University of Manchester was that I was treated like an ordinary student. Many, many study abroad programs segregate students from abroad into their own dormitories, with their own social events, and often with special classes. This may seem like an advantage, but if you're going to study abroad, it's a shame if you don't experience everything. So while I was a bit homesick and made more American friends than I should have in retrospect, I was constantly around locals -- in classes, in my dorm, in a competitive trampolining team I joined -- learning their culture and experiencing things in a non-American way.

My main recommendation would be to make sure you'll get credits for each course you plan on taking before you get back. But other than that, don't necessarily stick to real "study abroad" programs! Do what you can to get as immersed as you can. In my opinion, it's the immersion that should be highest priority, not necessarily the strength of the computer science program.
