No heartache, if she'd been interesting enough to pursue for the sake of long-term, I wouldn't have minded losing the time. The problem is that the kind of girl who interests me intellectually and understands me (outside of my programming i

Yeah, I've already decided to go to a local community college that is a launchpad for OSU. It's 1400 a semester, I can pay that in cash. I wasn't calling myself a flake, someone implied I could be seen as one. I'll be focusing on leveraging

Thanks for the excellent advice. As I said in another reply, I found a community college that is cheap enough for me to pay for the tuition in cash. I'll just get my degree and go from there.

I just checked with a diff comm college, I'm going there. I can go for ~1500 a semester. I'm super frugal and have no vices other than computers, I can afford that twice over. Problem solved until I want to go to Uni I guess.

I understand what you're saying about Dunning-Kruger, but I could sit here and tell you about the merits of Linux Kernel asm-level syscalls versus DOS interrupts. I know i386 and PPC asm. I have a passion for algorithms, in particular, I li

Well if it's normally that cheap straight up, I'll just pay in cash as soon as I find a school that cheap around here.

I'm not a flake, I just don't have access to funds.

I appreciate your candor, but you're missing the point. No source of funding, no school. It's not like I need to "snap" out of anything. I want to go back to school. As I've already said I've spoken with a financial aid advisor, things ar

I am not aiming for $85k, I'm not aiming for any sum of money. I just want to make a living coding. I'd be happy with $30k if it were matched with a decent work environment. I have been considering moving to a better IT market, I just felt

Actually I contributed a great deal to Ubuntu. I did some multimedia/userspace/64-bit debugging and I helped out with the tech support in #ubuntu. Nothing with my name stamped on it though, I just threw bugs at MOTUs. :\ Where would you re

Oh, I'm based out of Columbus, OH, but I'm not especially beholden to the city.

aw come on. Someone has to have an answer to this, I'm quite curious.

I'm not certain how I want to do it yet, as far as payment or lack thereof goes. I definitely want to provide for ebook readers. Personally I do tons of reading on my (blurry :( ) CRT screen, so I've never had much issue with that.

It would actually have all the books a standard library would have. Like Gore Vidal.

In my experience, you can only easily find tech books, which admittedly is usually what I want, but finding Gore Vidal was shockingly difficult (in this case, impossible). Technical books that are out of copyright aren't likely of use. Book
