  4. Re:I don't buy it on America's Most Connected Campuses · · Score: 1

    You'll note that one of the checkboxes in the details page is "Are students required to own a computer?" So not only do some schools (RPI for instance) have a good ratio of school computers, but every student also has their own.

  8. That depends... on Multiple Jobs? How Would You Do It? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...on your situation. Are you:

    a) Single, Debt free sitting on some enough coin that if you lose the insecure job you'd have some time to get another job.

    or

    b) Divorced with an alimony payment, credit card debit, a new girlfriend to buy shiny things for student loans and living pay check to paycheck collecting returns on bottles to buy ramen noodles.

    Maybe you need to work the 2 jobs steady until you can payoff some debit bank some sweet coinage, then check out the insecure job market again.

    The point is look at your situation, figure out what risk you can deal with and make your choice.
    No flunky poster on /. (me included)is going to be able to help you with this one.

  10. MY experience on Do Computer Geeks and Gearheads Overlap? · · Score: 1

    I'm a bit late into the car game, I started a couple years ago getting a Dodge Neon to auto-x. I did oil changes and all that stuff, then I got a cold air intake and new exaust... Next thing I know I'm totally replace ing the suspension, swaybars, spring, shocks. I just sold it now a couple guys at work are doing the Grass roots Motor sports $2004 challenge

    We are putting a chevy V8 into an 86 RX-7. The thing is sitting in my garrage currently getting taken apart when we get time. But I work for a small programming company, in which most of us are car guys also so it seems to go hand in hand... Up here in ME anyway...

  11. I'v seen it! on Open Source Community Approaches SCO · · Score: 1

    If it really is 1,000,000 lines of code, then I had to have seen at least some of it. I'v perused(sp?) the kernel source a bit for fun. If it is already out in the Kernel how is having an NDA keping it from anyone?

    Or am I missing something?

  12. Re:Editorial comments by Taco are incorrect on DirecTV Sues Anyone Who Bought Smartcard Reader? · · Score: 1

    ...Directv has some pretty damning circumstantial evidence. It is (rightly) on the shoulders of the defendants to put up or shut up and pay up.

    Circumstantial evidence? From years watching Judge Wapner, I thought circumstantial was just that circumstantial and nothing you could really be convictid with. And isn't there somthing about innocent until proven guilty somewhere?

    At a place I used to work we used a huge metal pipe (not sure what it was for origeonaly) and a 6" diameter rutebegar(sp?) add setaline and O2. We have no idea where it ended up, good thing it was in northern NH where there isn't much to hit. We also had a normal potato cannon equipt with all the good stuff for get a batery to light it, you have to use a ignighter from a grill for a trigger, add a nice handle, this shit was high quality... :-)

  24. Another type of interface needed on The Next Computer Interface · · Score: 1

    To get some thing other then a desktop model to
    work we need a different way of interfacing with
    the computer. Once voice recognition gets up to
    Star Trek levels or we get away from the mouse
    for movement it opens up a lot more possabilities
    for things like a FPS type perspective. Or
    other interfaces where using a mouse just doesn't
    work well...
