Enhance your photos by using the High Pass Filter by Veerle. I hadn’t ever paid attention to what happens when I resize an image till I read Cameron Moll’s “Please Sweat the Small Stuff.” There’s a comparison in the comments of Moll’s, including the High Pass Filter.

Drop in CS majors

Monday, April 25th, 2005

Survey results from the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles (HERI/UCLA) show that the popularity of computer science (CS) as a major among incoming freshmen has dropped 60 percent from the fall of 2000 and 2004. The popularity of CS as a major among female undergraduates dropped 80 percent in the last seven years, and 93 percent since its all-time high in 1982.
