If they wanted to lower textbook costs, they would not reorganize the chapters and re-release the books every 2 years.

Its a short term vs long term analysis. If you focus on the long term, programmers are cheaper. Short term, it is easier to throw more hardware at the problem. The part that makes it difficult to measure is estimating how fast it will run o

Look into DePaul University. They do use Blackboard, but most of their CS, SE courses use their own software which isn't quite as painful.

"Putting out buggy code on time simply isn't an option" This is why opensource is so nice. If you want buggy code, you download the trunk, its not forced on you.

The last crash I had on my mac was related to the networking drivers. They fixed it in 10.3. Of course, I don't have problems with crashing on my WinXP, Vista, or any MAJOR crashes on Windows 7.

It is good to see that MySQL is getting some improvements. It is a decent database, but they really need to fix replication and a number of other critical issues. Hopefully the different release cycle will help them target the issues better
