If USDA wants to improve its computer systems, I'm all for it, ... But they shouldn't try to pay for those upgrades by closing the FSA offices our farmers depend on. It never made sense to me that the way to save money was to force farmers and ranchers to drive farther or go online to get their questions answered. I had serious reservations about this plan, as did many members of Congress. I'm glad USDA listened to those concerns and has decided to scrap this plan.

If Virginia Tech ends up number one in all six computer polls, like Texas is now, and the Longhorns are number three in the computer polls, that would make up the current gap in the human polls.

We also see this audience becoming buyers of consumer electronics who place the same level of importance on reviews, pricing and comparisons for these kinds of products.

At any given moment, kids are more likely to be online than adults. Hackers know this and lure children with flashy pop-ups and fake prizes that are really malicious attacks intended to give the hacker control of the computer and access to personal information such as passwords and credit card numbers. I applaud Zone Labs for making an effort to help educate families about the dangers online.

As the world becomes more and more computer dependent, particularly in classrooms and in offices, not being able to easily differentiate between colors becomes more of a liability.
