  1. Re:not the only problem with the leopard on Major Snow Leopard Bug Said To Delete User Data · · Score: 1

    wonder how many 100s of posts flaming MS we would get if this was a vista article.

    I wonder why people always comment on how many flames MS would receive rather than writing a direct flame. :-)

  2. Re:The real question is.... on US Military Issuing iPod Touches To Soldiers · · Score: 1

    You certainly cannot let the sun shine everywhere on your body at once.

  3. Curious on iPod Shuffle Finds Its Voice · · Score: 1

    I find it strange that Apple has moved away from a voice-based interface with their "visual voicemail" GUI on the iPhone (for a very good reason!) and now with the new iPod shuffle has moved back to one.

  4. Mod parent up on Galaxy Zoo Produces a Rare Specimen · · Score: 1

    "object" is indeed the most appropriate translation in this case.

  5. Re:Next step ... on Gravity Lamp Grabs Green Prize · · Score: 1

    If it runs on heat it will feel cold to the touch. I doubt that will be pleasant.

  6. Re:They don't have to be on Online Videos May Conduct Viruses · · Score: 1

    No, because that isn't Flash video. Besides, if you're using Windows: Safari is also available on that platform.

  7. Re:They don't have to be on Online Videos May Conduct Viruses · · Score: 1

    No.

    Open the site in Safari, open the Activity Window, and look for the URL to the flash video file, which is usually the largest loaded resource. Double-click to download directly.

    Works with all the video sites I've seen to far.

    Mindball!

    The type of brain waves which help a player win are alpha waves and theta waves. They are usually greater when the player is more relaxed.
  9. Re:Funny, but lame on How Can We Convert the US to the Metric System? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think it's interesting that the yard is defined in meters.

  10. I wonder on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 1

    if the people who are responsible for the spam read this article as well. Surely they are software developers as well, having to improve their spam systems all the time?

  11. Software Project on Software Dev Cycle As Part of CS Curriculum? · · Score: 1

    At Utrecht University I did a course exactly like this, and it was called Software Project. Students form teams and work on projects submitted by Dutch companies. It works both ways: the students learn how software development works in real life (instead of in a 'safe' environment like university), and the companies get to test their ideas, see how they work out, and get at least a beginning of the implementation. They usually don't submit business-critical projects.

    Our team worked on a project called Cheetah, and we worked with SVN for version control/concurrent access, a development wiki for sharing and working out ideas, a bug tracking system, and agile software development (pair programming, big visible charts, user stories). Some of us had more technical insight and had experience running servers, building websites, etc. while others had knowledge of diabetes (which the project was about), or access to medical information because their mother worked in a hospital, and so on. All in all a very enjoyable course where I learnt a lot.

    One of the problems we ran into was that agile software development doesn't work very smoothly if the team meets only one or two days a week; most of us did other courses or had part-time jobs.
