  1. Some Math is Good on CS Profs Debate Role of Math In CS Education · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I don't know about calculus but doing formal proofs help me in learning programming because they are, in essence, the same thing. In a formal proof, you break down a problem into simple steps and state the authority for each. It is similar to programming. So some math is good.

  2. Duh? on Stopping the Horror of 'Reply All' · · Score: 1

    Just make the "Reply" button bigger than the rest, and the "Reply all" smaller. Then separate them so they're not side by side.

  3. Welcome to a Brave New World on Graphs Show Costs of DNA Sequencing Falling Fast · · Score: 1

    The only question that remains is, "How long does it take?"

  4. It Sucks on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    It uses fixed-width columns which means I can't increase the font size without something getting mangled. Here are ten rules for making a readable web page: 1. Do not change the user's preferences, especially the font size. 2. Do not change the user's preferences, especially the font size. 3. Do not change the user's preferences, especially the font size. 4. Do not change the user's preferences, especially the font size. 5. Do not change the user's preferences, especially the font size. 6. Do not change the user's preferences, especially the font size. 7. Do not change the user's preferences, especially the font size. 8. Do not change the user's preferences, especially the font size. 9. Do not change the user's preferences, especially the font size. 10. Do not change the user's preferences, especially the font size. And WTF is this jump to the top of the page after I view Options?

  5. Doesn't the US have consumer-protection laws? on Is Net Neutrality Really Needed? · · Score: 1

    How can a carrier offer anything but net neutrality? It's the same hardware, it's the same software, therefore it's the same service; the only difference is an artificial one created by the carrier. I don't know about the US, but in my country there are consumer-protection laws which prevent business from charging two different prices for the same service.
