  1. Re:What's The Point? on Linux Hackers Reclaim the WRT54G · · Score: 1

    You are not considering that there are some places where getting a WRT54GL might not be possible.

    I know I could buy it from the USA, but if it arrives broken or with any problem at all it would be a major PITA to return it and get a new one. That's the reason I bought a v5, even knowing that at that time it was not possible to install linux on it.

  2. Re:Why bother? on Computer Science Students Outsource Homework · · Score: 1

    As useful as it is there are other problems with making students explain their code: time.

    If you don't take time from a class to do this, professors will need to use extra time to do it, or assign it to their assistants. We all know neither of them wants to expend some friday afternoon listening to some student explain his code.

    The problem with using class time is that it would use up too much time, unless you give really trivial, pointless assignments.

    You can pick at random some students... but I don't think it's fair. Not only some get punished, but only some get a better correction of their homework.

  3. Re:Japan has lowest teen pregnancy rate , USA high on Homer Becomes Omar · · Score: 2, Informative

    If showing sexual content and harsh language to children leads to the lowest birthrate among teenager, then we should do that...since we have the highest teenage birth rate. Japan's is 4, ours is 64, and this data comes from unicef.org, not exactly a obscure or untrustworthy source.

    http://www.unicef.org/pon96/inbirth.htm


    And do you know how many abortions are there in Japan?

    Here it says that abortion in japanese teenagers has more than quadrupled. This article, even though it's old, states that abortion is under-reported.

    ...but that you have no idea that not only do people in Japan have less sex...


    Guess that if you're talking about knowing japanese culture, you've heard of "enjo kosai" and its reality, or not?
