So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/

According to Wikipedia (http://goo.gl/QFI7nO) the NIST decided to pronounce giga- with a soft G in the 1960s, but otherwise there's no historical precedent. It even goes on to say: "This suggests that a hard German [ɡ] was originally intended as the pronunciation. Self was unable to ascertain at what point the alternative pronunciation came into occasional use, but claimed that as of 1995 it had died out"
So I think I (and the other 80+% of English speakers) will just keep on pronouncing it with the hard G and give strange looks to anyone who isn't Doc Brown that pronounces it with a soft G. ;-)
I am a complex individual.
