  1. Why do 86% percent of all computers run Windows? on Why Do We Still Use Gasoline? · · Score: 1

    Think about that. Same deal.

  2. Catholic Schools, and in Phoenix, Arizona... on Where Can One Find Computer Related Charity Work? · · Score: 1
    I have yet to see a Catholic school that didn't need a helping hand with its computers, and some are very short on cash and unable to hire adequate help. What you'll be doing is mostly taking old broken computers and stripping them of working parts and assembling them into working ones to run typing software.

    Also, if you're in Phoenix, Arizona, try St. Vincent de Paul's homeless/jobless shelter as well as the folks down at Andre House. They're both homeless/jobless-centered organizations, and often are looking for people to help train jobless in basic computer skills.

  3. Boycott on What Should Happen To Expired Domains? · · Score: 1

    Until NSI's nogoodishness impacts their bottom line, they won't change a thing. I've never heard of an internet boycott before, but I don't see why one couldn't be started in this case.

  4. Squeak! on GUI Research - Is it Still Being Done? · · Score: 1

    Check out "Morphic" for the Squeak JVM: www.squeak.org
    It's supposedly the future of GUIs. :)

  5. C# = MSJava on Microsoft Releases C# Language Reference · · Score: 1

    Pre-processing: #define using import #define System java.lang.* #define Console System.out #define WriteLine println #define Main() Main(String args[]) + C#: using System; class Hello { static void Main() { Console.WriteLine("Hello, world"); } } = Java: import java.lang.* ; class Hello { public static void Main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, world"); } } Yeah, it's NOTHING like Java.

  6. Re:*rolls eyes* on Why Develop On Linux? · · Score: 1

    You've confused "easy to use" with "easy to learn." Microsoft = easy to learn. Linux = easy to use. Which do you you think is more important in the long run?

  7. What about Quine-McKluskey? on Top Ten Algorithms of the Century · · Score: 1

    Have we forgotten about the algorithm which makes the minimzation/optimization of circuits possible? If it weren't for Quine-McKluskey, we'd all still be running at 286 speed! :)

  8. Pinball? Dying? on Is Pinball Dying? · · Score: 1

    What the hell is pinball? ;-)

  9. (Java && Swing) || (Java && AWT) on Cross-Platform GUI Toolkits? · · Score: 2

    Java, which is inherently cross-platform, boasts two very commonly used and powerful GUI toolkits, the AWT and Swing. Being built on the MVC paradigm, they're an excellent choice for OOA/D/P.

  10. Transfering from NSI on Transferring Domains From NSI? · · Score: 1

    I recently transfered my domains out of NSI's control via www.domainmonger.com The site has an easy-to-use transfer form at the bottom of the page, and the entire process went without incident and took only a week. I also found the site fairly easy to use for administering my domain names as well.

  11. Foolish Microsoft on Microsoft Asks Slashdot To Remove Readers' Posts · · Score: 1

    If Microsoft were really out to protect itself, it would ask Slashdot remove all comments and links regarding Linux. :)

  12. They were deliberate errors, Professor! on Babbage Engine Printer Finally Available · · Score: 1

    I like that they said the errors were most likely "deliberate errors to avoid industrial espionage." Perhaps I could try the same approach with my exams. "I would have put down the correct answer, sir, but doing so would have compromised national security."
