  1. Not truely Evolution...Just smart. on Microchips That Evolve · · Score: 1
    As a former Biology student, I can tell you these chips really aren't evolving. True evolution, would be having the hardware grow into different designs, adding more cells, halfing itself, or growing an A/D converter or something right smack in da middle of itself. Not changing which cells it uses to make itself more streamlined or efficent. What we are dealing w/ is a finite set of possiblities here and true evolution is INFINITE!

    Just my take...Of course I was a sucky Bio major, hence I code.

    I'm seriously disappointed in this review...

    Everyone knows we need pictures AND links! I've got the attention span of a 4 year old! That's what makes me a good programmer...

  4. Like we're worried about hacking... on New flaws in 802.11B · · Score: 1
    From what I've heard here on /.

    We don't need to worry about security on these wireless devices! Most of the ones that are setup have full blown access to anyone passing by due to a lack of FULL configuration!

  9. Not truely Open sourced then? on Hacking Biology · · Score: 2
    It seems to me that alot of organizations/corporations enjoy using the buzz word 'OpenSource' when, in fact, it isn't!

    As this article states 'Authorized' and 'licensed' too many times for me!

    I can see it now, Microsoft has just now 'OpenSourced' Windows 2000. But only if you're stamped, approved, authorized, certified and licensed?

  11. I concur. on One Click Setback for Amazon · · Score: 1
    Totally agree, our system rules are based on the almighty buck (aka CAPITALISM!) and inorder for them to make money they'll try and do it anyway they can.

    Not that I'm sideing w/ Amazon.com mind you. But I won't hold it against them for trying.

    Just like I won't hate/harbor bad feelings against the guy who tries to break into my house and steal all of my beer & computer equipment...(but I will blow him away all the same!)

  12. Detect a damaged board... on Silicon LED · · Score: 1

    Also, think of the implications in debugging which board/circuit went bad?? If they can do this cheap enough, we could have our electronics tell us which section went bad based on what color it's emitting!

    Now we can all finally build those kewl androids like 'Data' that have those kewl flashy head circuitry implants!

    Napster is such an obvious slap in the face...

    "I'm stealing stuff that doesn't belong to me!"

    There has to be an award some where for its ability to stand up for so long and take such a beating even when they don't have a leg to stand on...

    Very scary! I'd imagine in the next 30 years you'd focus your webcam at a cut on your finger to get the 911 operator's opinion on whether or not to send the EMTs to your house or should you drive yourself to the hospital...

    Now that would be progress

    TechSlump = Early shake out.

    As more people jump online as the article states we'll slowly be doing more and more online! Part of the slump was all of the early businesses that started up and couldn't hold on for the motherlode. Wait a while, and see how it flowers...

    The Net isn't a FAD

  19. Can't beat'm Join'm! on AIMster Uses Pig Latin Encryption to Defeat RIAA · · Score: 1

    They use big fancy lawyers and develop deceitful rules/laws for their own benefit. Nice to see them [corporations] getting a spoonful of the same crap they feed us! I'd be willing to bet that this is just the beginning of the 'Wording Games' and as more people understand the power of the laws they've helped to pass, we'll soon see them have no real impact on the way folks operate!

  21. What is 'Social Life'? on Do You Consider Your Social Life When You Choose A Career? · · Score: 1
    As a programmer, I usually don't have the luxury of enjoying the nightlife. I like working 24/7 and my idea of 'downtime' is fragging a Quake Rookie (or reading /.)

    However, location is very important to me and Utah would be one of the LAST places I'd voluntarily move to. The Liquor laws are just one part of it. I'm usually a 'Coastee' and need my salt water oceans to feel at home. Not to mention the one time I went to Utah to visit my sister, I almost died! the drivers in Utah suck!( And I'm not even going to mention the fat chicks!)

    So rry...QwkHyenA=Pig. But, that's what therapy is for!

    These last few (okay several!) posts are just what I'm looking for! I need to know more about the 'Process' of S/W development versus the actual coding part. I've got the coding part down pretty well, but the management/timelines/work env$ parts are getting tricker to deal with and are only getting worse.

    Thanks to everyone for their help on this matter!

    Happy Holidays to Everyone!!

    I'm looking more for ways to keep our shop operating smoothly and keep us all from straying off the project path (i.e. Who's doing what, is anyone breaking someones else's code and are we using enough comments?! :P)
