  1. Re:Link to RIT on Is Realism Destroying Video Games? · · Score: 1

    Since I wrote that after a long boring day of work I don't especially care

  2. Re:Link to RIT on Is Realism Destroying Video Games? · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://www.rit.edu/~930www/webnews/viewstory.php3? id=500

    Thats our colleges little introduction to the program. It's part of the IT department currently (www.it.rit.edu) and they dont' have all that much explanation currently. Basically one or our professor's was big into game development and after starting it as a concentration in the IT program has branched it off into it's own degree

    more like thats how we ended up with osama

  4. angelfire? on IBM Patents Web Page Templates · · Score: 1

    i would think this would apply to anything and not just applications. That being the case a lot of website places have had this around for a while. Angelfire (www.angelfire.com) at least has had it there since '97 if not earlier

  5. Re:WindRiver? Aha! on GPL 3.0 Concerns in Embedded World · · Score: 1

    Yup and the company i work for (which does embedded devices) has used both vxWorks and linux on products.. It's kind of a tossup on which one is preferred they both have their pluses

    linux isn't the only one that will do masquerading wingate is at least one proxy program that will run under 95/98

  7. Re:That's KAME's IPv6 implementation.... on Microsoft's Implementation Of IPv6 · · Score: 1

    I've been using Kane's implementation on Netbsd for v6 tunneling for a year or so now the NT/win2k driver MS has had out (albeit in beta) hasn't had many problems at all Install tends to be annoying though (most users don't like having to reg hack their systems to get network connectivity on v6)

  10. Re:What do you want from him? on Voteauction.com · · Score: 1

    slight edit to this I means I'm NOT talking about showing your vote to someone

  11. Re:What do you want from him? on Voteauction.com · · Score: 1

    Didn't know that actually Where I had referenced it being illegal was from the article posted on CNN about the ebay case so I didn't have an exact section/article to cite

  12. Re:What do you want from him? on Voteauction.com · · Score: 1

    Do you understand the concept of a bribe?? That is basically what it comes down to If you sell your vote (and I'm talking about showing your vote to someone I mean taking money in order to vote how someone else tells you to) is called a bribe bribes are called illegal comprehend that?

  13. Re:Try reading the article? on Voteauction.com · · Score: 1

    well if your not too lazy look up state and federal voting laws personally I don't feel like wasting my companies time to satisfy your anal retentive whims

  14. Re:Try reading the article? on Voteauction.com · · Score: 1

    Actually there is no difference.

    This article: Person organizes votes that constituent was not going to use. Sells this vote to highest bidder. Divides cash to constituent. (Cash for vote bribe)

    eBay case: Constituent sells vote to highest bidder. Recieves cash (Cash for vote bribe)

    Soo there is one minor difference theres no middle man in the second case.

    And to respond to your saying I didn't cite jurisdictions it doesn't especially matter since it is Federal laws that are violated and on top of that local state voting laws are violated too. You cannot sell or attempt to sell your vote to any political interest It's just wrong and should remain that way. To allow this would basically to be allowing the buying of leadership in our country. That goes against the foundations of our society

    Whether you agree w/ this or not oh well I dont' really care

  15. Re:Try reading the article? on Voteauction.com · · Score: 1

    Actually I did read the article before posting this And the same thing still applies. The only difference is that in this case the person has managed to come up with a minor work around that will keep him from getting caught immediately Overall it's still illegal the person is still basically taking a bribe (cash for vote).
    Our ability to vote is one of the rights and to capitilize on that for cash is just fucking stupid

  16. Flexibility on Ideas for High School Computer Projects? · · Score: 1

    I have found that when assigning projects it's easier to just give them a goal and let them decide how to do it.
    For example given that one of my professors just wanted us to code something we felt was to our level of programming.
    Not a bad idea really since what ended up happening was each student coding a program to their level and then expanding a little on it as they learned. A lot easier to do this then to have some students be bored w/ an assignment and others strugling to finish it

  17. Re:Still vaporware on MP3/CD Players Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Not really vaporware Just hard to order. I reserved my player (MPTrip) in advance and it took about two or three months before being able to actually order it But I got it eventually and rather like it

  18. Re:format on MP3/CD Players Reviewed · · Score: 2

    the MPTrip is ISO9660 so it supports directories w/ no problems. It actally functions better w/ directories since you hve the option to play an individual directory (a tough task find the directory though w/ the lack of names displayed)

    Nah it doesn't really barf on non mp3 files. At least mine doesn't (got it about two weeks ago)

  20. Re:Degree Plans on ArsDigita University · · Score: 1

    If there is any reasoning in this world that post will be moderated waaayyyy up

    Good job explaining the fundamental differences between the majors. I have to say that I have seen a lot of two year colleges and other specialty schools that offer basically the out of a box MCSE deal. This has gotten to the point of being semi annoying just since a lot of us are working on 4 year degrees and these certification schools try to level themselves as being equals of those degrees.

    oh well small rant

    The thing is from what the article says there are two rent types You don't have to have network access and by the sounds of it these students decided to not get it but then ran the cable down to an unused port. That would by all real definition be stealing

  23. Re:My views on Techies vs. Laywers & Judges · · Score: 1

    The techies making laws part was more hypothetical then anything. I just see it (in my opinion of course) as the judges and lawyers placing laws on current technology and ideas as they have in the past but maybe the past actions in dealing with stuff like patents shouldn't be applied (i.e. ad banners, various portions of e-commerce that have been patented) Maybe, while these ideas would technically be patentable maybe they should have been viewed more as a public domain.

  24. My views on Techies vs. Laywers & Judges · · Score: 1

    I think it is more that we have our own opinion (logical or not) of what makes our technology work best. The lawyers/judges have their own view of how it should work which in my own opinion is set more towards benifiting people commercially then really making a technology work to it's fullest ability.
