is), but I have no interest in wasting any of my precious time taking
classes in English, Philosophy, History, Art and the like. While these
fields are useful and perhaps enriching, they will not contribute to
making me better at my job. Moreover, I attended an excellent high school
that covered these fields of study in great detail, and I feel no need or
desire to spend more time studying these things. I want a BS in Computer

local self-government. If we have a 'right to internet access' or a
'right to communicate' via these pathways, there are certain actions that
can be taken by government which infringe on those rights. In our view,
it's up to us to create these rights frameworks, and then enforce them at

Several readers have written with news of [0]a controversy that's been
slowly building in space-based MMO EVE Online. "It all began with the
Incarna update, which added an item shop to the long-running sci-fi
sandbox. Players [1]began to voice their concerns over the bizarrely high
prices of items in the shop, with one particular item reaching an insane
$68 US. Before this hullabaloo had the chance to so much as come to a
simmer, [2]an internal newsletter from CCP was leaked to the internet.
The document outlined the introduction of microtransactions into EVE and
mentioned that at some point, ships, ammunition, and so forth may be
available for purchase with real-world currency. This naturally sent
players into even more of a frenzy." Reader Ogre332 points out additional
coverage, but notes that many publications are [3]missing the punchline:
"Players are angry that CCP has blatantly lied about their intentions and
have responded to these customers concerns by basically telling us they
know what we want better than we do. The [4]purported e-mail from CCP CEO
Hilmar P��tursson was like gas on a fire, and a response to some concerns
[5]in the form of a dev blog was not well received at all. [6]Players are
protesting, and many claim to be canceling their accounts left and
right."

[0]Hugh Pickens writes "It isn't like Apple to stumble but the latest
version of Final Cut Pro, the widely used tool in the professional video
editing world was getting the reputation as [1]the app that launched a
thousand complaints, as the 955 reviewers and raters on iTunes
collectively rated FCP as, "Two and a half stars," with 45% are giving
the software one star, the lowest rating possible, bestowing on the
program the [2]dubious honor of being the lowest rated Apple software
hosted by the company's digital store. Many complaints center around lost
features. We used to be able to do this, and now we can't. You can't work
with existing FCP Suite projects. There's no external video monitoring,
no EDL imports, no backup application disk so good luck re-installing the
software on the road without a good internet connection, and lots of
unanswered questions about site licensing."

and its flight path will take it [1]within 8000 miles (12000 km) of Earth.
