  8. Re:Once again parents are looking for a scapegoat on Are Kids Turning Your Kids Into Killers? · · Score: 2
    the main problem is that US kids seem to have found only one way to externalize there fustration: violence

    Nah. The reason you think that is because the vast majority of US kids that find healthy ways to 'externalize thier frustration' don't make the 6 o'clock news or have Jon Katz write about them.

    I used programming to get through the daily high school frustations.

  9. 144k for slashdot viewers? on Exceptionally Unexceptional Quickies · · Score: 3
    Next up, mdaughtrey built a Mechanical Hit Counter

    From that page: The video window is updated every 5 seconds so chances are you'll see more than one count if other people are connected. I don't know how many that'll be though since this server is only on a 144K DSL link (thanks Verizon...not).

    Um..144K? Hmm, was putting this page on slashdot such a great idea?

    The trend is toward pay for listing

    Is this really a big deal? Hasn't anyone used the yellow pages in a phone book before? People have to pay to be listed in that, and its very useful for finding a companies.

  12. centeralized vs. Non-centreralized networks on Surveillance on Peer-to-Peer Networks · · Score: 2
    Putting in account that the RIAA and MPAA aren't able to sue the people that run a decentralized network, would that make them more likely to spy, then sue, on the people that use it?

    That kind of makes me scared to get stuff off a decentralized network.

  17. Damit, this article makes me sick on Georgia Teen Stumbles On New Theorem · · Score: 2
    Why do we care how old the guy is? Why does that have any weight on how good/valid the Theorem is? If it is an important theorem, then we should talk about its importance, and not how far away the author was puberty.

    If it is just a mundane discovery with little usefulness, I don't think we should make it a carnival show just because some young person proved it.

    it's obvious that the US Patent Office just hands them out like Everlasting Gobstoppers at the Willy Wonka factory
