"in the web development world, it’s possible that the latest technologies and trends are being taught on blogs, rather than in the classroom. On a weekly basis, I receive emails from University students informing us that our “little ole’” blog has taught them more than their college professors. Considering the frequency at which these flattering emails occur, it does raise an interesting question: “Is University out-dated?”"

I think, web indeed manifests the idea that just getting a CS degree is (and should) NOT be a sure way to earn good bucks -- you've got to have the beautiful mind to come up with something creative (and useful), then the courage to take that something and transform it to something "real", then the perseverance to hold it out when time and people become trying, and most importantly the belief that what you're trying to do -- trying to bring to life -- is worth every bit of your time and effort and will not just succeed but will be a deeply snuggled emotion.

Is University out-dated?
If it has deprecated itself, then rather by going by the motto "everyone's invited, everyone will graduate".

Without a degree nobody will even bother inviting you for an interview - they start being required even for menial jobs, because "fuckin everybody has one, except for serious retards".

A lot of webdev jobs require degrees today. Have to buy a Harvard diploma just to write PHP.

government is unable to educate students because government education is politically correct, while true education and the pursuit of truth and true moral character is politically incorrect. To put it differently, in the age of Obama the goal of education is to indoctrinate the public so that the public looks to government as the solution to all our problems.

Has the rat genome been mapped yet? If you know the sequence, you could start with a fertilized egg in a womb-like environment, and simulate its development and life.

Womb would require already present simulation.
It is a chicken and egg problem.
moreover, unfolding the fucking cellular fractal requires complete down to atoms simulation with all physics correct, including gravity constant and numerous bacteria living in rat's body. Wont be possible in the foreseeable future.
we should consider monte-carlo simulation, where groups of relatively homogenous cells handled as a single solid body, which would still die if feed with poison.

Meh. Apparently we can simulate an ant brain. We could probably simulate a rat sperm and egg floating in an infinite artificial womb.

but if a lab rat was simulated so thoroughly down to molecular level and there will not be any difference between a real rat and a simulated rat, simulated rat, being tortured, would suffer as well a real one. you can dismiss it though pretending that only those made of meat can experience real suffering, it may make your conscience silent

The solution is simple; for all the people who believe a simulated rat can't suffer, just upload their minds into a computer after they die. Then torture them for a few (simulated) thousands of years. And then very slowly degrade their neural connections until they are no more.

how about we simulate my dick in your anus, if you get my drift?
