I don't think people would be half as mad if there were other subscription options, not everyone has or is willing to pay the monthly fee. The current model is a one-size fits all, and not many people like that. There are tons of different ways to offer cheaper subscription plans by limiting the amount of content.
Here are some ideas (no pricing):
1) You are given a set amount, that doesn't carry over, of doujin/mangas per month and you can select the ones you want to read. i.e.: you are allowed to view (X) different uploads a month and you choose which (X) you want to read. The ones you picked are always there and don't count against you.
2) Another pay-for-what-you-want is tag/artist subscriptions, you pay for doujin/mangas that have the tag(s) that you want and at the end of the month you are charged for the amount that fall into the tag/artist(s) that you subscribed to. The price should be less than that of the normal subscription.
3) Similar to the first one, but every month the list of what you have read gets reset. i.e.: you view 20 different doujin/mangas in March and in April you view 5 of those 20, unlike the first one, those 5 would count against your number of views for April. If you favorited something each month those would count against you, so you have 10 favorites, 20 would be docked off at the start of the month.

I believe the more confusing thing is that people are all for the separation of church and state, but yet they want to force people to provide a good/service for a religious ceremony (weddings) under "anti-discrimination" laws. An overwhelming majority of these businesses, I think all of them, are saying that they are not going to cater, take pictures, or make flower arrangements for the wedding, not that they would never serve them if they walked in and asked for a birthday cake, a family picture, or a bouquet of flowers.
It's easier to argue that they are never serving gays instead of pointing out that they are not serving gays in certain cases, like weddings. It's a lot harder to get people to be for forcing people to participate in religious events than it is to claim that they, the businesses, are violating "anti-discrimination" laws by not participating in a gay wedding.
Also there are many other cases out there that would make you even angrier than this one.

Hey Fakkuers! So, I took a year off after High School before starting College to get some things settled. While I've already taken my ACT, applied to the College I'm going to, and started working in order to pay for it. The problem I've had is deciding on a Major and a Minor. What I think I'd like to do for now is to start working towards a Degree involving computer programming along with a Minor in Landscaping (Pretty far off from each other but it's two things I know very well.)My question though is what would a Major involving programming go towards? How much work should be put into this to make it happen and are there any works branching out from the subject. Any answers or discussion on the topic would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm in my last year as a Software Engineering major w/ a minor in Applied Human Factors. Here are some answers to some of your questions.
* The software field is massive and programming is important to all parts of the field, general knowledge of programming will help you do a better job even if you never code.
* Parts of the field include: planning, writing code, maintaining code, testing, management, requirements, etc. So there is a lot more to a CS(Computer Science, more about theory) or SE(Software Engineering, more practical) degree than just writing code.
* How much work/effort depends on which college you are going to, how well you can program, how well you grasp concepts and apply them, and how well you can think logically.
* My best advice is: do what interests you, I switched majors after my first year.
Best of Luck,
