  18. Re:Hehehe on Open Source PS3 Jailbreak Released · · Score: 1

    I'm confused as to what your saying? rpm is to msi not rpm is to config file or user/home directory, and linux has some of that setting janglry too main repositories clean it up. However, if you install third party debs or rpms or install from source it will tell you were it will go, but it'll basically go wherever it wants. I guess the telling were thing is a step up. I never liked that registry thing they could at least clean it up to make sense then people might not put there keys in what looks like random places.

    i like comp sci problems but i don't formally study it so I'm not sure i have the definition of self-referential function right but i wanna try it I'd do a factorial like this factorial (unsigned int arg) //i don't wanna make a negative number check { if arg == (0 || 1) return 1 int output while (arg > 1) { int cache = arg -1 output = arg*(cache) arg = cache } return output } (i am an IT undergraduate who only knows some java don't hurt me >.> ) oh and here's why that other function wouldn't work since he didn't explain function factorial(argument) if (argument eq 0) return 1 return argument * factorial(argument - 1) end_function lets use 2 because it's short 2 isn't 0 alrighty so arg-1 is 1 1 isn't 0 alrighty 1-1 is 0 oh we've got a zero lets pass back a 1 1 isn't 0 alrighty 1-1 is 0 oh we've got a 0 lets pass back a 1 ect

  25. i don't get why you would do this on Competition Seeks Best Approaches To Detecting Plagiarism · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's a monkeys on a typewriter thing. these companies add papers to there database as they compare them. If you feed enough papers into a database eventually they will all come back plagiarized there are not an infinite number of possible term papers there are only so many things that could be written for a topic that make sense, and most English teachers recycle topics. why English departments buy into this I don't understand let it go for long enough(it would only take another decade or two at most) and you will start getting people who didn't even know they were plagiarizing getting kicked out of college, I'm not talking about improper citations I'm talking about guy in Washington has the same idea as a guy in New York 20 years later. I'm not a lawyer, so i don't know if this is possible, but couldn't they copyright these databases in some form or render them proprietary. If they did that there business model could change to just collecting royalties.
