Regarding tuition fees, most PhD students in computer science (at
least at the top 50 CS departments), are funded from day one, though
they may start as TAs before getting an RA position.

To complicate the issue, even some PhD students are undecided about
their career path:
"My ultimate goal is undecided; I would be happy as a professor, an
entrepreneur, or a researcher at IBM, Microsoft, or Google. I trust
that I'll know the right path in a few years."
http://aiphd.blogspot.com/
A gross overstatement that makes a point, nonetheless:
"If...you want a non-research career, a Ph.D. is definitely not for you."

An overly simplistic way of framing the issue:
Life is too short to get a PhD.
vs.
Life is too long not to get a PhD.
But seriously, I do enjoy reading job ads because it is one way of
seeing what tech companies are up to:

If I remember correctly, GA Tech will still be accepting PhD
applications until February 1st.

Regarding admission, the same is true in the U.S., but one still has
to take the coursework after admission.

To add to what Ben is saying, the only thing that some U.S. students I
know test out of are undergraduate courses that are a prerequisite to
graduate admission. (For computer science, this can be done by
taking the GRE Computer Science Subject Test, which started to lose
relevance over two decade
And regarding Markov Logic Networks, I have the following on pre-order
since it is only $35 (and, at the time, I used a 40% off coupon from

Seems too simplistic. Also, wouldn't our daily consciousness then
be subject to strong EM fields, like going under an MRI scanner?
Simiarly, there are therapies that try to stimulate the brain using EM
fields but it has no immediate effect on consciousness:

Interesting but many people already experience "dry eyes" even with the most
comfortable contacts on the market, so that is one thing that could limit
it's use for the foreseeable future.
