  1. flaws?? on New Holographic Storage Medium Doesn't Shrink · · Score: 1
    Does anyone know what would happen if there was a flaw in this polymer. i mean... surely there will be small flaws in it that would render areas unusable. Will the storage unit "know" where its flaws are?

  2. Advantage of Open Source on Progress w/ UDF Filesystem Support in 2.4.0? · · Score: 1
    This is where the strength of open source will show because I'm sure now that a new kernel is out, it won't be long before the UDF drivers are completed. The write-only is probably just in the making (though i have no evidence). You also can't expect it the next day either, give a couple more weeks and hopefully there will be results.

  3. Correct me if I'm wrong.... on Dear CDDB Users: Thanks For Helping The RIAA! · · Score: 2
    ... but couldn't there be something uncopyrighted on cddb? In this case some starving artist out there may have a great system for distributing his music and getting his name out, but just because he's in the cddb databases (which used to be a complement to his success) he will get screwed and will no longer be shared amongst the people.

  4. scientists got something done apparently!! on Universe Teeming With Black Holes · · Score: 1

    In accordance with the 'computer scientists not doing anything for other scientists'. One can assume that the astronomers were using computers and related equipment at least for some portion of this "discovery". Meaning that apparently computer scientists ARE helping the scientists and engineers of the world.

  5. not their job on Scientists And Engineers Say "Computers Suck!" · · Score: 1
    its not necessarily the job of the computer scientists to provide for the scientists and engineers. most computer scientists go where the money is. engineers and scientists often aren't motivated to pay the computer scientists a proper wage.

    plus, if i understand this correctly, the computer scientists would be throwing mud at themselves, am i correct? just a thought.

  6. colors!! on Transmeta Releases Midori Linux · · Score: 1

    ok so here's what we've got so far: red hat deep blue yellowdog asci white ... and now... midori {green} linux can the technology world lay off the colors for a while and be a little more creative with the naming schemes. p.s. i've got dibs on orange

  7. just like the stock market on Even Programmers Get the Job Search Blues · · Score: 2

    This shouldn't be a big surprise. Just as any sector in the stock market has done in the past. It shouldn't be a shock that there are less jobs, the technology sector is just correcting itself after an over-expansion.

  8. Advice from computer engineering student. on Computer Science vs. Computer Engineering? · · Score: 1

    I am currently enrolled at Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. I have switched between computer engineering and computer science several times already, so I know this question well. The important thing is that you do what you want. All these people telling you to get such and such a degree and go back for master's, or to avoid the sciences and engineering as a whole due to outsourcing. That's plain b.s. It's important that you choose a profession that you enjoy. Granted job security and salary are important, but if you truly love what you do, and possess some skill at it, then surely you will move up the ladder and those facets of your career will come true. Their is a saying at our school that you will most likely only be an actual engineer or scientist for 5 years after graduation, then you begin running things. As a freshman, I clearly don't know the validity of that, but I have heard good things from alumni.

  9. weaker than silence of the lambs on Hannibal's Return · · Score: 1

    Sure we love to see Hannibal Lector use his tactics. we all love a criminally insane genious in action, but it still didn't have the power as the first movie. Hannibal is an attempt to match the gruesome and sheer horror of the insane mind and tries to out do the graphic violence from Silence of the Lambs, and even show our friend Hannibal in action. Yet, with all this extra attempt, it still doesn't match the first one. The basement scene with night goggles remains to be the scariest scene in a movie. Ever.
