  1. Problem with tags on Statistics, Elections, Frustration · · Score: 1

    If they called those tags back they could easily change their mind now that they KNOW that Buchanon cant win and vote their 2nd choice.

    I think that should it be decided that florida needs to revote then the ENTIRE NATION should be required to revote.

    It would be giving Florida too much power to allow it to decide the presidential race on its own. If Florida's voters get a chance to change their mind then so should the rest of the country.

  2. The Game is on GBC, with MORE on NESs 15th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    I know, I sound like a PR guy.

    The original (1985) Super Mario Bros is on the GBC, with pixel perfect reproduction and color. You get all 32 levels, the star levels, and 'Super Mario for Super players' (Hella tough), challange mode, and a 2 player race game. All for 30 bucks.

    I just cant stop playing this, I haven't even been playing Tetris since I got it.

    The constitutional right to guns is there for ONE purpose.

    Now, I'm not saying that its necessary to rise up now, its just that I would like to preserve the ability to if it is ever necessary.

  16. Re:Self-Evident? on Jesux, Hoax Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Well, as an atheist, I find many of those who 'want to convert' to not be so receptive when the tables are turned. Now, I dont go about preaching what I believe, but I will return the favor when someone else starts it. They quickly get defensive and angry (not all, most).

    So, if you want to preach, preach as much as you want, but dont be surprised when your religon is questioned just as much as you question others.

  17. Re:900 mHZ - You're Confused on "Fastest PC in the World" Runs Athlon at 800MHz · · Score: 0

    That should be moderated under 'funny'

    Megahertz is a time scale: 1 Mhz = 1 million times per second.

    Now, when you talk about phones, you're refering to the radio waves, they oscillate at 900Mhz, and when you talk about processors, you're referring to clock cylces. They have absolutly nothing to do with each other.

  18. Why WOULD we want more programmers? on Computer Programming for Everyone · · Score: 1

    I work with windows, which, unlike *NIX has a few more RAD pakages. I personally DONT want HS teaching more CS. They just create idiot programmers with no real skill, who get out and make pitiful utilities in VB or Delphi.

    Remeber, most high school CS teachers are people who COULDN'T get jobs doing REAL programming. They're not going to pass on too much to the newest group of disinterest im-just-here-for-the-credit HS students.

    I personally dont know anyone who EVER learned how to program from CS. They either already knew, or just copied the one guy who did to pass.

    We dont need more technology in school. We need teachers that are good. We need EVERY student to be able to read,write,add, and isolate the variable. Why dont we get THOSE taken care of first before we start sticking more stuff in.

    Personal note, my School-Computer history:
    Middle School - Mandatory Typing class, played SC2k on teachers computer. Teacher did not know how to make a .bat file.
    HS - Computer Science - Old teacher left year before for a JOB, new teacher, tried to teach Pascal. Gave everyone the same grade each 6 weeks. Once failed a paper for making the required program too small.

  19. Piracy. on First person convicted of U.S. Internet piracy · · Score: 1

    First off, he did do a criminal (and stupid) thing with that webpage, so he should go to jail. But not for friggen ever. Personally, I think piracy is ok, as long as you buy a few products.

    First off, most programs cannot be demo'd. So, what should I do? Just look at the box and the web-site and make a GUESS if spending 200$ on the software will fit my needs. No, I download, if I end up using it, I pay them.

    For those of you comparing stealing software to stealing a car:
    You can test drive the car.
