  1. if you want to go there crazy group on Connecticut Group Wants Your Violent Videogames — To Destroy Them · · Score: 0

    turn in your bibles everyone, they cause more violence than any video game or movie

  2. college on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree While Working Full Time? · · Score: 0

    I worked 40+ hours a week while getting my cs degree in college, starting at 18-22. I was able to just put most of the college into loans and my minimum wage job basically only paid for food,gas,books. At 26 if you can not get loans to cover it , it might be much harder. You can take part time classes and spread the cost over more than 4 years, but I would only go this route if its something you really want. At 26 most companies will only let you code for a short time after anyway as old developers are looked down upon. You might want this degree in something other than CS

  7. Re:quest for greed on Pennsylvania Fracking Law Opens Up Drilling On College Campuses · · Score: 1

    since when does greed have to be harmful (that point aside some things should be not used until proven safe, not the other way around)

  8. in the end on Why Microsoft Shouldn't Copy Apple's iOS Walled Garden · · Score: 1

    in the end the best thing to benefit Microsoft's competition will not be anything they did but the dumb things Microsoft did

    I guess nothing stops the quest for greed

  10. familiar on Replacing Windows 8's Missing Start Menu · · Score: 1

    Microsoft doesn't realize most people use windows because they are familiar with it, once you start changing it like this people will explore options like Apple, Linux, etc.. to compare against the 'New Windows' and might move from Windows to something else entirely. They should have made this metro as a new option you can toggle on and off and let their users gradually into it - not force it upon them

  14. without a doubt on Ask Slashdot: Should Developers Install Their Software Themselves? · · Score: 1

  15. royalties on Stanford Researchers Discover the 'Anternet' · · Score: 1

    does this mean we have to pay them the copyright

  16. Re:Don't on Ask Slashdot: How To Best Setup a School Internet Filter? · · Score: 1

    the problem with this is that most websites have tons of embedded content and links/images from other sites, so if you just whitelist one domain the domains it links to (some of which might also be owned by that company, and some not) will be blocked and the content might look malformed use opendns, and if its a school machine you can lock down dns with admin rights and secure wireless connection. If you give the wireless key openly though or allowed users to connect using their own devices, then there is not much you can do - you can work around any network level protection out there
