  1. Re:Do they pay for the work? on Intellectual Property Issues In College? · · Score: 1

    I'm working at Michigan State University, and I get about half payment by wage and half payment in tuition.

  2. Re:P4 spells the end for transmeta on Pentium 4 And Brookdale Update · · Score: 1

    Yes, and the P4 is designed to go into machine rooms where speed and execution power are important.

    The Crusoe was designed to go into laptops...a completely different realm.

  3. Re:Damn! on Election Wrapping Up (Part 2) · · Score: 1

    Sorry to say, I won't get a tax cut. Perhaps if I made twice my current wage I would.

  4. Re:WoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoHoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO! on Election Wrapping Up (Part 2) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but four years is a long time to get bent over.

  5. Damn! on Election Wrapping Up (Part 2) · · Score: 1

    As of 2:18amEST, accoring to CNN, we're fucked.

  6. Re:victoria's secret on Election-Day's Effect on the Net · · Score: 1

    What I wanna know is how you land a job at VS, because I'm quite interested.

    Hmmm, I think I'm gonna have to verify the integrity of the image databases again....I'll be back in a few.

  7. Re:Hello, join the 21st century on Is The PS2 Your Next DVD Player? · · Score: 1

    Every single video store I know of in the area surrounding me rents DVDs along with VHS tapes. All DVD rentals are the same price as the same title in VHS. It's really not a big deal to rent either. I do it all the time.

  8. Re:Wooden cases on Do It Yourself Cool Cases · · Score: 1

    What about case ground? Isn't this a little difficult with a wooden case?

  9. Re:What if? on MS To Virginia Beach: Prove You Own Your Software · · Score: 1

    Multiply that by two, because not only are they spending their time working on audits, but their regular work is piling up. That's 400k worth of audit and 400k worth of lost work time. Total $800k.

  10. Re:Don't play if you don't want to win. on The Kid Who Wouldn't Be King (UPDATED) · · Score: 1

    We had to do "community service" to be in NHS at my high school. Of course, this community service was chosen by the leaders and was not a voluntary activity.

  11. Re:Don't play if you don't want to win. on The Kid Who Wouldn't Be King (UPDATED) · · Score: 1

    Chances are it was rigged just like it was at my school. Whenever the "in" group thought it would be funny for some nerd to win....low and behold guess who won.

  12. Re:Quakers at prom on The Kid Who Wouldn't Be King (UPDATED) · · Score: 1

    No, but strict baptists are.

  13. Re:The people, they jus' don't get it on Mandrake 7.2 in Wal-Mart: A Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    Micorsoft Wank v8.4.4??

    Since when has microsoft used decimals in their version numbering let alone coherent numbering at all. The deepest numbers I remember were 3.11 and 6.22, but those were many years ago. Lately it's just 95, 98, 2000, etc.

  14. Ummmm on Has D.A.R.E Been Effective? · · Score: 1

    This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the Slashdot topics! Damnit! Keep it on topic. Ask slashdot has been completely worthless lately.

  15. Re:Diablo II on Worst Games Of the Year · · Score: 1

    God Damn moron moderators! To quote from the moderation guidelines:

    Concentrate more on promoting than on demoting. The real goal here is to find the juicy good stuff and let others read it. Do not promote personal agendas. Do not let your opinions factor in. Try to be impartial about this. Simply disagreeing with a comment is not a valid reason to mark it down.

    I think I've made my point.

  16. Re:it all depends on SOFTWARE! on The PS2 - A Betamax In the Making? · · Score: 1

    I think you mean principle, unless you have some weird gaming relationship with that dude who runs the school.

  17. Re:Well... BASIC English on English, The Global Internet Language? · · Score: 1

    I really don't think we need to worry about foreigners learning correct English grammar when the VAST majority of natively born U.S. citizens have horrible grammar. Hell, just look at nearly any college term paper, website, chat session, even newspaper for that matter. I must say that most of the foreigners I know have much better grammar skills than (U.S.) Americans.

  18. Re:c++ on English, The Global Internet Language? · · Score: 1

    Actually, PERL is much friendlier on globals.

  19. Re:Diakatana on Worst Games Of the Year · · Score: 1

    Here's the actual link if you'd care to read the article.

  20. Diakatana on Worst Games Of the Year · · Score: 1

    But....Dikatana....was....on....the....list.

  21. Re:On-vehicle filters on Air-Powered Cars · · Score: 1

    Same here, there really isn't any enforcement in Michigan.

  22. Re:On-vehicle filters on Air-Powered Cars · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but my car doesn't have one. Why? because it rusted through and I'm too cheap to spend $150 on a new one. Sure, new vehicles have installed environmental features, but what happens when these vehicles age? The systems are removed as people don't want to pay to fix non-essential systems.

  23. Re:Zero Emission? on Air-Powered Cars · · Score: 1

    Actual loss isn't anywhere near that amount. Perhaps you're thinking of the difference between real power and reactive power where your numbers make a little more sense.

  24. Re:sounds good for high-performance computing shop on Patch To Allow Linux To Use Defective DIMMs · · Score: 1

    In a situation like that, it costs far more for a company to pay an IT worker to swap RAM chips than it does to buy quality, top-of-the-line components the first time around. Not to mention, mission-critical systems should NEVER use crappy hardware.

  25. Re:Finally! on Patch To Allow Linux To Use Defective DIMMs · · Score: 1

    Yes they are, if they aren't DOA like mine was. I'm going on week 6 and still haven't gotten it replaced.
