  1. Re:I program games. on Computer Games and Traditional CS Courses · · Score: 1

    You are focused on IS, but then again even at K(ansas)SU they did basic IS stuff not just covering the mathematical side of CS. Then again their are schools out there (I've heard of, not that I've validated, I do know for a fact 10 years ago KSU was that way) that really will not touch IS at all. So no, you don't get database insert, you get why a database insert works but not how.

    And what are you doing spending time reinventing the wheel? The library already does it more then well enough, if you spent rebuilding algorithms for everything because you can improve performance for this one application by 2% then you don't belong in the real world. You should join academia. Oh but they suck for putting food on the table? Too bad. Time is a very key asset in the real world and we have to cater to that.

    Seriously, when did some Americans become such ignorant, cowardly, pants wetting wussies?

    I think that is what ground.zero.612 says, and no I'm not racist, but I agree with ground zero. I personally think Racial Profiling is A.OK but Ground Zero what about all of those white people who have blown up buildings, those Black and Mexican people blowing up cars and shooting each other daily. So you could say we are scanning by races who have blown shit up and could have the intent to blow shit up again; it just happens to be everyone.

    Oh and speaking of the free market.

  8. Re:The comment may also be complex.. on If the Comments Are Ugly, the Code Is Ugly · · Score: 1

    I tend to study from the same book, my co-worker and I debated over it for awhile but an exit early system is not only easier to read, uses less code, etc it tends to be more efficient as it kills the method before any heavy activities are run. Now this isn't always true but then again I haven't reached a case where it wasn't~

    Another reason, Microsoft is a public corp and "S" corps cannot sell their shares to companies only individuals.

    "But a day later"

    How many times have you "accidently" sent an email to the wrong person and waited a day to figure this out. On top of that it was one customer wanting one piece of information but it somehow "accidently" became 1300.

    I wear sound blocking headphones so that I don't have to listen to co-workers ramble on about meaningless things. If they really want my attention they can tap my shoulder.

    "According to police policy, employees are barred from criticizing or ridiculing the department" -- This needs to be changed, anyone in voting range should call state/city legistrators.

  20. Re:Sweet merciful crap! on Congress Mulls Research Into a Vehicle Mileage Tax · · Score: 1

    Why? We are going to get the same bullshit no matter who we vote for. I'm so sick of this system. We are supposed to have a "say" well I can tell you the only way the general population of america would support this is if they worked for the GPS company getting the paycheck. This, among many other policies we put in place, are fucking bullshit. They cost tons of money for no other reason then to either A) direct it to company X or B) give the government more power. And that's why I know this shit is going to pass, because it achieves both A&B and it can be signed off as "better for the consumer" like the OnStar bullshit GM pushes which has been used to cancel warranties many times. The best part, is there is no way to resolve this sans a civil war. And no one wants that.

    Who says XP isn't using the same TCP/IP stack as Windows 95? That would qualify into your 15year old code.

  22. Unpopular? on How To Make Science Popular Again? · · Score: 1

    Isn't sciences already popular? All you guys like sciences. :-D. But to be serious, compared to say 200 years ago, we have a lot more people interested in scientific research then ever before. I find it pretty hard to believe that science is _unpopular_.

  24. Re:50:50 cost? on Proposed UK File-Sharing Laws May Be Illegal, ISPs Upset · · Score: 1

    I'm going to go ahead and take the whoosh hammer, but: Do you really think that the postal service should be immune if they carry a package containing methamphetamine? Even if they deliver it to a 13-year-old child? -- Postal Services are required to check incoming packages, also often drug dogs are walked around shipping facilities. Do you really think that a bus-line should be immune if they give a ride to a terrorist with a bomb in his back-pack on his way to blow up a kindergarten? -- A bus operator has the right to refuse to pick up any passenger that may appear harmful. Do you really think that the phone company should be immune if they allow a 6 year old child to call a fetish phone-sex line? -- The phone service requires that you verify that you are not a minor (even a 17 year old could figure that one out). Do you really think that a gun-company should be immune if they manufacture a weapon and a child accidentally shoots his friend while showing it off? -- There are already laws in most states barring the sale of guns to minors. So the private industry already has some laws and some policies around fighting off these problems.
