  1. Re:Software Engineering on Computer Science Curriculum in College · · Score: 1

    "Real-life world experience has made me a more rounded individual not theoretical classes."

    Of course, what one considers to be more well rounded is highly subjective.

    "I do understand the arguments for having a broad theoretical background, but I don't want to invent the next Java or C++, I want to solve real world problems."

    And to me, being able to invent the next Java or C++ means being able (i.e. having the same skills required) to solve what are very much real world problems, and yet it requires very little of the theoretical background I consider necessary to a well rounded understanding of computers and computation.

  2. Re:Skype quality?? on Skype's Sale As Media Feint · · Score: 1

    Yes, no firewall issues ever (that I know of).

    And I've talked to people in India, Israel and Switzerland from Pennsylvania with "in the same room" presence.

  3. Re:Not Surprised on DVD Decrypter Author Served With Take-Down Order · · Score: 1

    Plus you can make the copy without the menu and the previews and all the other crap that you have to sit around pressing buttons to skip over (or just wait when it won't let you skip over). So my kids (or my parents - I do it for them too) can just pop the DVD in and the movie starts. That's the way it should be.

  4. Why do they advise to remove ALL publisher certs?? on Another Critical Microsoft Hole · · Score: 1

    They say:
    "What steps could I follow to prevent the control from being silently re-introduced onto my system?

    The simplest way is to make sure you have no trusted publishers, including Microsoft."

    Sounds like they're saying: You can't trust us, and if you can't trust us, who can you trust?

    Why should I remove the certificate of some other vendor from my trusted certs list, unless I expect they're likely to go and sign Microsoft's buggy control?

  5. Re:Two boxes?? on Sharing a SCSI Drive Between Two Boxes Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    If server A dies, server B needs to be able to pick up right where A left off. The shared drive allows shared state.

  6. Re:You need a pigtail - or two SCSI cables on Sharing a SCSI Drive Between Two Boxes Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    Haven't done it under Linux, but NT, using two self-terminating SCSI cables.

  7. Re:They didn't work... on Portable Scanner Solutions for Research? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I had one. You had to drag it down the page at an incredibly slow and constant rate.
