  2. CIS101 on Students Sue over Difficult Class · · Score: 2

    I remember when I took my intro to C programming class. After every lecture the professor would give us some reading/coding to do. And during every lab session others would complain -- "he [prof] isn't teaching us anything *^%!! how does he expect us to [insert simple C function]?!!". One student who asked me for help seemed surprised when I just asked him "did you read chapter 5 page xx?" Reading the text he assigned usually contained more than ample information relative to our labs. Unfortunately, at the end of the semester, many students gave the prof poor reviews due only to their lack of inititive.

  3. i'm sure on Compaq Denies Being a Microsoft Victim · · Score: 2

    I'm sure that looking like a "push-over" would not go so well with investors.

  4. Random noise on Completely-CGI people for FF movie · · Score: 1

    I got bored of the ff series right around 4. Tried the ffvii for psx and was bored in 20 minutes.

    The shot is nice, but I really have a problem with game/movie sort of dealies (eg. Super Mario Bros. ack, Mortal Kombat suk, etc.)

    Just hope Doom and Quake don't suffer the same fate...

  5. Graphic Design on Judge Seeks Ban on Legal Software · · Score: 1

    ...hmmm.
    he better ban Gimp/Photoshop/Illustrator... I mean aren't I robbing "professional" graphic designers of work?

  6. newbie help on Squirt out some Quickies · · Score: 1

    ..sorry for the poor description. I don't care about getting irc to work. I really only need to find some great online HOWTO/help forum. Right now, my job (and the rest of our group) /is/ to learn Linux. I'm just being lazy about going to the store and buying a book :)

  7. newbie help on Squirt out some Quickies · · Score: 1

    This post really doesn't belong here, but anyway. I was looking for a good Linux help forum on the web. Here at work the sysadmin won't just let everyone jump throught the firewall, and that's been a bit of a problem for me trying to use *irc. Although I am new, I have figured several things out just playing around :) Yesterday was my first (failed) attempt at compiling and installing a new kernel. But luckly I manged to restor my old one (The network would not work with 2.2.0). But any help/info/links are appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
