I agree - I'm not holding my breath. I replied to the general email, and would love if this post found it's way back to someone in the admissions office.

My situation is very similar to yours. (Although if I'd founded a multi-million dollar start-up I don't think I"d be interested in continuing school)

True enough - I suppose my search for an interesting program (That I could 'qualify' for) has soured me towards Higher Education in general. Needless to say, their email was not well received... I wish I could find a legitimate sc

My Pixel runs pure ChromeOS (I have Crouton installed as well, but that was when I was still transitioning into a full time Chrome environment) As others have mentioned: -I can ssh into any linux box I need. As others haven't mentioned

Chromebooks solve 90% of the issues the average school district faces (How do I build collaborative works?(Docs/Drive) How do I ensure student files are protected? (Drive) How do I handle deployment? Imaging and servicing 3000-7000 w

I can't help but feel that this is typical of Microsoft's sales/PR team. Generate a false problem: "You don't wan't ads on your search engine do you!?" Claim to have a solution: "You can use Bing! We

I'm a system admin for a large school district. My daily device for day to day work is a pixel. Before that I functioned just fine on a Samsung chromebook ($199) for 6 months. I can assure you, Chromebooks are most definitely a comput

Not at all, I don't support what happened in any way. The parent comment was stating that making a resource scare only makes it more valuable... my point was that the market for child porn is so small that using the scarcity argument i

I can say with a good deal of certainty there is nothing true about your statement regarding the KKK.

Really not a problem.. The power cord is only required on certain HDMI ports.. and it likely won't be needed on future/modern HDMI ports. Why is this even an issue?

OVH is a french company. Their NA data center is relatively new. There's no real direct comparison on hardware between the 2 vendors, but there seems to be little exciting about the price point in the OP.

Why is this making headlines? It's European, so you suffer the transcontinental latency, and OVH offers superior dedicated servers in either their North American or European Data centers. EU: http://www.ovh.co.uk/ded

I need to take time to build code I can actually show off. The things I build now are essentially web interfaces sitting on databases. The problem is they aren't exactly.. or at all.. legal. Great learning projects (putting my home vi
