  1. Re:Wrong Question on What Programming Languages Should You Learn Next? · · Score: 1

    For Example (ADD(ADD(1,2),3) would return 6

    I may not know the language, but arn't you missing a ")" or have 1 to many "("?

    . . .,3)
    ")" 'Note there is no ) here, this is a sugestion

    I think that is why understanding where your program is wrong it is nice to break out in lines. I have the dots there because I can't "tab" out my lines. Just a thought, if you don't need that last ")" my bad.

    I want to know what there control is? Maybe i'm missing something, but shouldn't there be a group with no image? Or shouldn't they do it twice for both groups, if they don't konw what image there are seeing, having them do it with the image once, and one image a second time, or IBM first and Aple second, would give a more diverse obstract of how the diffrent images can relay diffrently in one person, or how one person can be affected by one when they had a control. All tests should be done on Wednesday, and 1st week brick, second week 2 x 4. Just a thought, seams kinda narrow as you were saying.

At that point, is that two negatives makeing a posative? So you are an elitist, you buy a make, become a non elitist, and sell the mac? Ah, screw it, go download linux.

  11. Re:Not the Net's fault... on The Net's Effect on Journalism · · Score: 1

    According to the book, the pressure to create a stable, profitable business invariably distorts the kinds of news items reported, as well as the manner and emphasis in which they are reported.

    That is why you will frequently find one story portrayed in 3 ways by 3 people. I believe it was "Tech 5" that it was mentioned that the same article originating from the The AP had 3 different views on it, from Washington Post, The New York Times, and a local newspaper where the story started. I don't remember exactly, but it was basically, local was natural, NY Times was pro, and Washington Post was against. The point being, that 3 newspapers all got there paper from the AP, and all spun it slightly different. Do they have an agenda? I think so.

  13. The Cost? on Comcast Kicks Tires On 100-Gig Optical Links · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A couple of questions:

    Cable
    What is the end cost to the users? I understand that Comcast has a modulated speed. One big pipe, a lot of users on the same pipe. Farther from the hub? fewer users, smaller pipe.
    Will you be able to pay for more of that pipe and get better speeds?
    Can you pay them not to downsize your P2P?
    With the new Hulu site out there, will they mistakenly see legal traffic as illegal and stop it from working?

    DSL
    For DSL, what speeds could you buy? (They mentioned Verizon testing)How much would it cost?
    Will people in the US ever see the speeds that you are supposed to see in Korea?

    Just some thoughts. I obviously don't have the answers, but I know that some /. ers do.

    Here is what Wikipedia said:

    This article or section has multiple issues. Please help improve the article or discuss these issues on the talk page.
    It needs sources or references that appear in third-party publications. Tagged since February 2008.
    It may require general cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Tagged since February 2008.
    It may contain improper references to self-published sources. Tagged since February 2008.

    I would have a hunch, that the "Church" itself is causing the problems on the page. First The war starts. They impose there beliefs and pull web pages from Google. I have seen a few things that they have done to try and put "Anonymous" in a bad light. I wish I could find the link, and maybe someone out there knows it. It is of a group of protesters getting arrested. The "Church" said it was "Anonymous". This was quickly debunked they the comments around the article, and found that the pictures where taken from a real protest elsewhere, and not an "Anonymous" protest. All and all i think the "Church" is a bunch of bull and don't play fair with others.

    I'm now prepared to get buried by the "Church" for my negative comments against them.

    "With all that pirated material available, it creates tremendous disincentives to content owners who need to invest in new content," Cotton says, "and that just hurts consumers over time." After all, if two video stores sit next to each other at the local mall and one charges for DVDs while the other hands free, illegal copies out without penalty, what incentive does the legitimate video owner have to invest any money in buying new DVDs?

    What, the logic doesn't make sense here. Ok, isn't Hulu just free TV? Ok, you have to buy an internet connection, but we all know we had one anyway. Unless you're really good at throwing letters and have uber eyesight to utilize Slashdot.org. So, why wouldn't I use free Hulu TV, instead of, looking for a file, waiting for it to download, finding out it is of someone's a$$ not "The Office". Re-searching for the latest episode. Find the episode, again. Watch it of a video camera crooked at a TV. OK, OK, I know there is good stuff out there. I also know there is junk out there. I'm just saying if they offer it for free, we aren't paying for it. My biggest problem with TV is the INCREBIBLE (yes I'm yelling) amount of adds on it. Hulu, gives you minimal adds (so guess not free) and when I want.

    The company has only gone up as far as I can tell. IT also apears that the graph shows high points after launches of GTA titles. They don't exactly mach in some point, but I feel are close enough. I would have to graph all the other games released by them, and assume that high tradeing is in regards to good sales of one game.

    This Interactive graph lets you easily see where there high points are. If nothing else, on there last trading day, the 13th, they jumped up to match the offer of EA. This means, IMHO, the market does not want EA to buy them. What is the point of getting bought out at market price? I'm not a stock guru or anything, but just my thoughts based on what I see. Take Two will make a lot of profit on the next GTA release, and EA made bad timeing if they did want them for 2K and not GTA.

    For practice in my degree we hacked FTP. The class was on a closed network, some strange reason they didn't want 30 windows server's on there domain. The closer to hackers of the class closed FTP immediately. We found out that there were quite a few who didn't and left the port open. We spent the next part of the semester seeing who could hack more classmates who didn't bother block FTP. The greatest thing was to turn on remote desktop and send a message from themselves to them. Those people eventually dropped the class do to lack of knowledge, but it was an eye opener to see someone looking at a message sent from there computer to there computer saying random things. I liked 42. Theoretically in the real world, all those wholes are plugged. That is true because there is never a small business that has a new server that doesn't know what they are doing. Right?
