  1. Re:CIS is CS -- depending on the dept policy on On the Differences Between MIS/CIS/CS Degrees? · · Score: 1

    SUNY Potsdam -- here's the page.

  2. CIS is CS -- depending on the dept policy on On the Differences Between MIS/CIS/CS Degrees? · · Score: 1

    I have a CIS from SUNY and I have never taken a business course. The curriculum has largerly been a standard CS package -- compiler construction, operating systems, theory of computation, optimization, etc.

  3. As long as "Windows" is a houselold item... on Microsoft Starts Legal Fight Over Lindows Name · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with "Doors" -- break on through to the other side? Better yet, "Chimneys" or "Toilets"?

  4. Re:This is stupid... but you said it anyway. on Russia Declassifies "Stealth" Warship · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually it doesn't cost much -- in rubles, that is. The Russia's legacy military-industrial complex is self-sufficient, as it does not require the services of private contractors. This gives them an opportunity to gain some share in the world's arms market. In 2000 the US held over 50% of the worldwide arms market with over $18 billion in sales. The next closest competitors were Russia with $7.7 billion, and France with sales valued at $4.1 billion.

  5. Who said anythong about copying? on VIA to Create Pentium 4 'Clone' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If P4 has been legitimately reverse-engineered, then VIA is beyond reproach. Typically, the companies who live by reverse-engineering go to great length to document the process. Of course, they'd have to pay hefty legal fees if that process is challenged in court, but for the giant like VIA this isn't much of a problem.

  6. 82nd don't do commando stuff on Afghanistan Is Like Nothing You've Ever Seen · · Score: 1

    82nd is just an ordinary infantry division which is dropped from the aircraft. They don't do the commando stuff.

  7. Likewise... on Afghanistan Is Like Nothing You've Ever Seen · · Score: 1

    Likewise, there is no evidence whatsoever that Osama bin Laden, or anyone in Afghanistan for that matter, had anything to do with WTC bombings.

  8. OSS/3D on Whither OpenAL? · · Score: 2, Informative

    (From the web site)

    OSS/3D is a new 3D audio architecture developed by 4Front Technologies. It is 100% cross platform (available for Windows and UNIX/Linux) and has advanced features that often take 3 or 4 separate products to accomplish.

    OSS/3D comprises of a set of digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms that do spatialization, 3D surround, fidelity enhancement, virtual bass boost and speaker configuration.

    Currently, OSS/3D comes as a plugin for either Winamp on Windows or X MultiMedia System (XMMS) on Linux/Solaris/FreeBSD.

  9. They should have tried to impress Putin instead... on Oh, Your Private Jet Is Just Subsonic? · · Score: 1

    The remaining fleet of Tu-144 would be a much better choice -- they are more streamlined toward speed which makes them about 40% faster than the Concordes. I presume they would cost quite a bit less as well.

  10. Court system 99% reliable? on 99% Blockage Isn't Good Enough, Says Napster Judge · · Score: 1

    When our own Department of Justice can claim 100% reliability for the court systems, then, perhaps they can make demands such as these. At this time, however they fall far short of even the 99% reliability, as claimed by Napster.
