Alright. I took between two and three classes a quarter, worked full time as the Information Systems Director for a non-profit, and have a one year old (he was one when I started). I was able to do it, with the required study time, papers, projects, etc. I also volunteer with a non-profit that takes me out of the country for a couple weeks at a time every six months or so.

Was I tired most of the time? Yep. Was it hard to balance everything sometimes? Yep. Was I able to do it? Yep. Maybe I'm getting old, but I'm tired of all the kids out there that whine about having to work hard. Nobody owes you anything. Get out there and work hard for the things you want in life.

Except that he didn't get a BA, it was an Associates degree, which he could have earned for roughly the same price at the local community college.

I just finished my Master's (graduated last Saturday), and I don't have any debt. It's entirely possible to do, you just have to be willing to work and go to school at the same time (most kids aren't, or can't get a job because they don't have any experience because they weren't willing to work during their undergrad).

I'm hoping AMD does something to stay relevant. If they were to leave the market (or effectively leave the market by selling super low volume), then there's nothing to keep Intel honest.

If you have an internal WSUS server running on a gigabit LAN, it shouldn't take you more than a couple hours for the updates. And if you didn't manage your customers expectations in the first place regarding their delivery time, then that's your fault, isn't it?

Good news for you then, they've apparently already released SP1 for Windows 8. I wish I could find the article now, but apparently they found a way to get together all the fixes they would normally do for vendors that would comprise a normal SP1 and have them available through Windows Update.

Hopefully there is something built in separating that social API sidebar from what you are actually browsing. Facebook/Google/Apple/Skeezy Advertisers wouldn't need tracking cookies to know exactly where you surfed.

Presumably you need to count the number of people whether or not you exclude anyone so that you can sell to advertisers, so there doesn't seem to be any additional work there. Contacting the publishers also doesn't have anything to do with whether or not individual subscribers are excluded or not. So, whether or not the OP was looking at the entire business, there doesn't seem to be any additional work to exclude someone other than setting the flag on their account. There is also no extra system or storage cost, because you have to keep records of subscribers whether or not they are publicly listed. Money grab by the telcos, that's all this is.

Which is only good until they factory restore the OS, and then re-sell your device. If the IMEI is blocked, there is no resale market for stolen devices, therefore no point to stealing devices.

He didn't find out about it after the fact. It's standard in the XBLA contract with Microsoft. The contract that he signed.

Thanks for the suggestion, but to clarify, I'm not looking for a better way to download Wikipedia, I'm looking for a way to recognize and sync changes to Wikipedia after an initial dump.
