  1. Re:Is EE That Much Tougher? on Statistics On The Degrees People Earn · · Score: 1

    At least here, mechanical engineering seems to be the toughest.

  2. Re:degrees on Statistics On The Degrees People Earn · · Score: 1

    What you're saying is true only for "monkey" type of low-tech crappy jobs

  3. Re:Go figure... on Statistics On The Degrees People Earn · · Score: 1

    engineering == not too many cute girl phys ed == plenty of nice chicks

  4. Re:Non-kernel stuff. on What Does The Future Hold For Linux? · · Score: 1
    That's what suck about Linux:

    Cool new hardware/product never work with it. I mean it tooks ages before Linux supported USB or Plug'n'play device. People don't want to wait months to get their stuff working.

  5. Why ? on It's Official: MS Office 10 Subscription Version · · Score: 1
    Tell me why, each time there's a story about MS, everyone on Slashdot starts to bash.

  6. hum. on GNU Hardware Cooperative · · Score: 1

    on s'en koliss tu que linux soit ou soit pas GNU

  7. that's open source on Has Netscape's Browser Become Too Self-Serving? · · Score: 1

    hehe that's open source, other can make money off your work. if you have a problem with that, you just had to release it non-OS

  8. Max FPS = screen refresh rate on Debunking The Need For 200FPS · · Score: 1

    I don't see why you need 200 FPS if the monitor is refreshing itself 85 times per secondes... 200 fps is so fast that some frame won't even make it on the screen

  9. If Windows is so bad ... on Different View Of MS Code Theft · · Score: 1

    If Windows is such a piece of crap, why does the slashdot community wants to (illegally) get its source code ?
    If you are found with this code, you'll sure get into great trouble...

  10. Lots of ram needed on High-res Volumetric 3D Display Prototype · · Score: 1

    So we will need 4 gigabyte of RAM for the display: 1024x1024x1024 32 bpp !!

  11. ACELP not CELP on Open Standard For Recording Compressed Voice? · · Score: 1

    CELP certainly compress voice nicely but it requires a lot of processing power. There is A(rithmetic)CELP which is developed by professors and research folks at the university of sherbrooke where I study. From what I understood in a speech from one guy working on that, it's like CELP on steroid, it requires much less power. So today when people talk about CELP, they mean ACELP. That's what cell phones uses. It's not open dude cuz a lot of work has been put on that. It can't be free. It has been exclusively licensed to Siprolab which let them work exclusively on tech stuff. The university sure gets some royalties off that work. Like the professor said, they just can't give away all that effort, it took them years to get where they are now. So you must not be surprised if these high-tech compression algorithms are not public... Otherwise, how would they make money from them ?

  12. Re:Same ones as static IPv4 on Are There Still Privacy Concerns With IPv6? · · Score: 1

    Static IP won't be the norm, it's a pain in the ass to manage

  13. Re:I can say something bad. on Michael Abrash On The Xbox · · Score: 1
    If there are many hot games for it.
    If that box does not suck
    If it's not too costly

    then why won't you buy one ?

  14. Re:Something is missing... on Michael Abrash On The Xbox · · Score: 1
    You're a dumb hormone boosted horny teen. If the X-Box was from Sony, you'd be all excited but because it's from MS, you're bashing it.

    The X-Box looks very cool.

  15. are you nuts ? on Porting From MFC To GTK · · Score: 1

    You don't know shit about MFC. It's for normal GUI stuff. First person shooter or any serious game is written with the help of DirectX

  16. Don't fuck proprietary langage on Porting From MFC To GTK · · Score: 1

    Remember PALASM or Verilog ? The first hardware description langage were proprietary but anyway it did benifit to everybody because hardware designer could work at a more higher level.

  17. Porting from linux to windows is the same on Porting From MFC To GTK · · Score: 1

    Try converting Motif stuff to Windows. It will be as hard as porting MFC to GTK. Nothing's wrong with MFC: You don't do GUI stuff directly using the Win32 API as you don't write X apps using Xlib...

  18. Funny domain name on Solution To DoS Attacks · · Score: 1
    Steve Gibson of grc.com claims to have come up with a way of preventing DoS attacks by spoofed SYN flooding.

    Gendarmerie Royale du Canada ? ;-)

  21. Re:Shipping Linux Player w/ SONG IDENTIFICATION, V on Sonique To Come To Linux · · Score: 1

    skin SUCKS. Why everybody is making this crap. I want a standard GUI player.

  22. Re:Here's one approach for the RIAA to take re: mp on Sonique To Come To Linux · · Score: 1

    RIAA did not 'encrypt' those mp3.

  23. Re:um on Return Address: Arrogance, MS · · Score: 1

    just get a mail reader that displays HTML and send that old mailer to the trash

  24. my opinion on Censorship - Libraries and the Internet? · · Score: 1
    Internet access is available everywhere. Your library has the right forbid email as everybody would go in the library writing useless email when others need to do real research instead of poking around warez and other crap.

    If you don't accept it, pay your own connection.

  25. Re:It still amazes me on Universities Refuse To Ban Napster · · Score: 1

    This GPL is just crap. Any companies that wants to violate will do it because no individual author have the money to legally enforce their rights
