  4. Tail wagging dog? on Will Online Learning Disrupt Programming Language Adoption? · · Score: 0

    Adoption and standardisation of most computing was traditionally steered by the military and space research, not academics. The academics “followed the money” and worked on government funded programmes which steered the research to a “needed point.”

  5. So ... on Researchers Turn Home Wi-Fi Router Into Spy Device · · Score: -1

    If I have a Mac, does that mean I can have x ray eyes and see through chicks clothing?

  6. Inadvisable on GameStop Wants To Sell Secondhand Digital Download Video Games · · Score: 0

    It is inadvisable to use this model of selling any games for a rather esoteric reason. I recommend giving historical away the games for free for emulator websites and selling NEW games on CD in shopping malls. I also strongly suggest not using copy protection, licensing, forced online registration or any other ulterior practice that might damage the new products owner. Play it straight this time!

    This is a falsified article, there is no disease associated with weaponry. Please review you facts before posting this drivel!

  14. Assume Hostility on Being Honest In Exit Interviews Is Pointless · · Score: 0

    Never get involved with any such arrangement. Attend no such interview. Assume they are hostile whatever you say or do, pack up your stuff and leave. Entrust no reference system as they are all assaultive by their very design. Leave. Set up your own business. Trade ...

  21. No, don't listen ... on The Link Between Genius and Insanity · · Score: 0

    Mental people cannot type, this is WRONG! Don't listen to their tricks, they often have an expanded ego and want to boss your work into oblivion. Just reach for the phone, keep smiling, :0)

  22. A function of frequency on Japanese Researchers Transmit 3Gbps Using Terahertz Frequencies · · Score: 0

    Since transmission speed is a function of frequency, then I suspect that a much higher bandwith is possible.

  24. Blu Ray on Why You Can't Dump Java (Even Though You Want To) · · Score: 0

    Blu Ray players already have java firmware installed, and it's present on existing blu ray disks. You'd be committing theft of property if you prevented them from playing by removing java. You need it for playing on PCs. No dice son!
