It's painful to think about, but I have no idea how I would have survived if I had lived outside the age of digital technology.

It's all just a bunch of hoopla.

As a software developer, I completely agree.

As a student I care more about my grades and, dubious patents or not, my school and professors mandate that in order to pass I have to use Blackboard.

Please read the books, they're far superior to the movies.

Edit: Downvotes, hmmm. Allow me to explain...

The LotR movie trilogy, while being excellent movies in and of themselves, do not do the books justice. PJ's interpretation (and subsequent plot hacking) left me wanting more, and not in a good way.

Admittedly, that may have more to do with the medium in which the storyline was delivered. Cinema, while more visually appealing than the written word, simply cannot offer the same depth that a book can.

I think it's safe to say that in most cases where books are translated to movies, the book remains the better of the two.

Anyways, sorry for the offtopic thread.

But I've never been, mostly due to being dependent on others for rides.

However, I feel that I've been quite lucky and am far more the exception than the rule. I'm actually quite jealous of some of my friends who are getting ready to receive their Bachelors in the next year. As different paths as we took, I somehow feel that I'm lagging behind them in terms of achievements. So I'm back in school this semester. Just one class to make some iota of progress towards my B.S. Comp. Sci.

You certainly don't need a college degree to be a successful entrepreneur, but I've often found it quite hard to apply theory to practicality when you don't know the theory in the first place. When all is said and done, I'd like to have the holes in my knowledge filled and kick that much more ass at what I do..

In that case, 51% of American Christians are literalists, since that's the percentage who believe in intelligent design.

The two groups (evolution vs. intelligent design) are not mutually exclusive. I fully believe in the big bang and the process of evolution, but why couldn't a higher power have a hand in that? Call it 'divine evolution'.

Agreed. I attend a Jr. College that doesn't give email accounts to its students (or if it does, I was never informed).

Please ditch the .edu requirement.
