  1. How about some other languages? on Ideas for High School Computer Projects? · · Score: 1

    I think AP Computer Science deals mostly with C++. What about teaching them some other useful languages, like Perl or Java/Javascript?

    They might enjoy Visual Basic too [insert sounds of Slashdot readers gasping]. Since most of them are probably using Windows in High school, they might get a kick out of developing some nice, simple GUI applications.

  2. Re:Words from the past... on Maxtor's 80GB Drive · · Score: 1

    I think I heard that was an urban legend, but it was about RAM. Something like "You'll never need more than 640k of RAM".

  3. The New Lone Gunmen Series on Who Will Mulder's Replacement Be? · · Score: 1

    Fox already has a replacement in mind for the XFiles series as a whole. To read a review about the upcoming pilot for the Lone Gunment, check out this page on Corona. http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/TP/homepageFramed.ht ml

  4. Re:The Anit-SUV on Ars Reviews Honda Insight · · Score: 1

    I drive a Nissan Pathfinder, and let me tell you this: For the amount of money I paid for it, there's not a chance in hell this thing is ever going off-road.

    This whole SUV craze is ridiculous anyway. The biggest joke of it all is that California has all these strict emissions laws, however SUVs fall in some kind of loophole to avoid them. Meanwhile they're the most popular vehicle being sold.

    Kids today...let me tell ya.

  5. Re-charging batteries.. on Ars Reviews Honda Insight · · Score: 1

    One of the interesting aspects of this car is that it takes the wasted energy from braking and uses it to charge the batteries.

    What about something like this for a laptop? Every time you push the keys, how about converting that energy back to the batteries?

    Anyway, this car is damn fine. I'm still waiting for one with Heads Up Display though :-)

  6. This idea actually works.... on Interesting Way To Protest Napster · · Score: 1

    I got fed up with hearing Britney and Eminem on the radio, so I simply changed the title of a few Nine Inch Nails songs that were of approximately the same length.

    I get around 20-30 downloads a day of these fake songs, and with Napster v2beta6, people have been sending me some rather hurtful remarks over the chat program.

    My goal is to have all the current Top 40 songs as fake mp3s, not to protest Napster but to protest poor taste in music.

  7. Re:They're probably right to some extent on Pirates Steal Negative $1,400,000,000 from Music Industry · · Score: 1

    The new Oasis album comes out tonight at midnight, and even though i have the whole album plus 5 or so b-sides on mp3, i'm going to stand in the rain to be the first one to buy it. I have over 6 gigs of mp3's, and i buy more albums than anybody else i know.

  8. Re:Spelling. on Windows 2000 Has 65,000+ Bugs · · Score: 1

    I dare you to find 3 of these 65,000 bugs in Win2k, and I guarantee you that i can find 3 in Linux faster.
