  1. Re:My list of skills on Wanna Work for Dave Taylor & American McGee? · · Score: 1

    He's serious. It's not funny. It was old a long, long time ago, and unlike the AC, I'll put my name to this.

  2. Re:It's not a good statistic either on 235,000 Software Engineers Can't Be Wrong, Right? · · Score: 1

    The math gets just about everyone. I know a grad student doing computational geometry who got in the low 50s (a D-) in Calc I, despite having 90s in high school math. My math marks were in the 60s and 70s, except for Linear Algebra, which was also low 50s.

    We have an exceptionally evil math faculty here. They have no problems with failing 70%+.

  3. Re:It is every moral persons duty... on Bruce Perens Plans On-Stage DMCA Violation · · Score: 1

    You know, people have been breaking every piracy law available for years and years, and it's easy given the proliferation of copying equipment. Photocopiers, CD burners, you name it. And yet, while almost unenforceable, those laws haven't been repealed, and I don't think they will, either.

  6. Re:Anyone else notice... on UK Sets Open Source Procurement Policy · · Score: 1

    If war were to break out between the Americans and the French, I think the French would have more to worry about than whether or not they can get a copy of Windows.

    Some of us program pretty heavily in the language.

  15. Re:Brazil is qualified on World Cup Final · · Score: 1

    FIFA changed the rules. The world champion team no longer qualifies automatically - only the host country does.

  16. Re:Online or Offline, it still sucks. on Why Magic Online Will Suck · · Score: 1

    I started at the end of Legends / beginning of the Dark. Legends was, frankly, the last really good set.

    Quiet, whippersnapper.

  18. Re:TOS on FBI Raids Homes and Seizes Bandwidth Pirates' PCs · · Score: 1

    The problem with your argument is that driving down the highway at obscene speeds puts both you and others in a lot of danger. Uncapping your cable modem just costs the provider some money.
