JHU has an online program for exactly the use cae you're describing: http://ep.jhu.edu/

Decent program, can get the whole degree online, and it's obviously a well known institute.

You must be new here.

They seem to think this was a credible threat after it happened, hence full body scanners:

Exact same situation.

Probably going to go check out Amazon Prime's streaming service.

Now all we need is Netflix to abandon Silverlight...

I care. And a lot of other people care. In fact, even you making that statement was ridiculous.

While the world may have been "bigger" back then (by your definition), the basic principles outlined by the founding fathers were based upon insight into the human mind. Regardless of tools, a human innately craves power. Give any one branch of government too much power, and they will abuse it. That's why the founding father's specifically limited its power.

And that's why I, and other people, care that they are abusing the powers given to them.

younger programmers do not want to learn Java and that is creating far more problems for the platform than malware.

as far as i can tell, most universities and colleges are teaching java at entry level courses, if not throughout the entire cs/software engineering program.

It’s right up there with “blogosphere” and “*gate”.

Stargate wasn't THAT bad.

Alright, Atlantis was, but still...

That may be true for your encounters, but that doesn't discredit the anti-abortion argument.

We can't just say "you believe in x so the fact that you believe y makes it all bullshit".

As the GP was saying, this is a philosophical issue: when does life begin. It's their belief.

I think it's important to note what's been pointed out many times here on slashdot.

In many, many areas there isn't another ISP to jump ship to - there is only one, or dialup.

That's not much of a choice in my book.

I wonder how far a pastafarian theme park idea would make it in Kentucky.

I see the validity of your point, but by funding one religious theme park, they now are under an arbitrarily big obligation to fund any other theme park with religious connotations with similar amounts of money (assuming they can make some numbers up saying they'll get people to come).

I dunno about the rest of you, but I'm sure glad that one's FINALLY been settled.

Now we can get on to the important follow up research, like:

Of dogs and cats, which are cuter?

Can a woodchuck ACTUALLY chuck wood?

I'm excited to see what these researchers choose next.

While compiling the Linux kernel with 64 parallel jobs, 1080p video playback was still smooth, windows could be moved fluidly, and there was not nearly as much of a slowdown compared to when this patch was applied.

shouldn't that read "and there was not nearly as much of a slowdown compared to when this patch wasn't applied"?

I'm in a similar boat.

It's a small boat.
