I do believe in GPA. A high GPA is more often than not a good indicator of how much that student has busted his ass to learn the material. Right now I'm on my junior year of electrical engineering, and I'm still amazed at the number of people who can't do common factorization or simple derivatives. I'm still amazed at the amount of people who, at this level, don't know how to solve systems of equations with two unknowns and have to ask the professor to dedicate a whole Circuits I lecture to that topic.

Just today I had my Circuits I final. After two really easy partial examinations, the professor decided to be a "jerk" and surprise us all with a really hard final exam. I'm confident I did pretty good on it, and I'm also confident in the fact that all the people who studied under my tutelage for that final are going to fail miserably, because they studied only enough to pass. The professor knows that even though the first two tests were easy, those who actually learned the subject are going to be able to solve the final exam, as hard as it was. That's the way a professor should solve the problem of A's without resorting to silly "caps".

They said to play it louder than Hell
We promised that we would
When losers say it's over with you know that it's a lie
The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die
