  3. Reason for router on Sony drops Router Functions from PS3 · · Score: 0
    I think one of the reasons they intended to put a router in the system, is so they could have control over how the router's firewall worked. Several online games have issues with the way that routers block ports. i've contacted customor support for final fantasy xi and world of warcraft with some problems, and they always tell me to unplug my router and feed the cable mode directly to my computer. Fat chance of me keeping that way.

    perhaps the developers of the ps3 thought they could control the router functions on a per-game basis, i.e opening and closing ports, and then users wouldnt have as big a problem if people used that for their router. Although who knows if they had that much foresight.

  4. Oregon Trail on Non-Traditional Games On The Rise · · Score: 0
    This reminds me of a little detective game i used to play on the Apple IIe when i was a kid called Oregon Trail. Granted it too was edutainment but it was a fun game. And yes there was no shooting, punching or violence of any kind, and this was back in 1985.

    I think game publishers need to accept that a game does not need to have violence to be entertaining.

    M$ should be in enough legal trouble by all the harm they cause as a desktop os (mental anguish, frustration, injuries by flying pieces of hardware.) I'd hate to see all the legal problems they have from road accidents. Brings a whole new meaning to road rage. Honestly officer i didn't do it, windows crashed on me.

  21. More bells and whistles on IBM To Announce Web-Based Desktop Apps · · Score: 1

    This is a direct attack to dell's marketing of just a simple server. Market research has shown that sys admins want bells and whistles rather than just plain server boxes, and this is ibm's answer to sell the servers and the software in a convienent package that can actually do something with little input. It also points towards a more distributed model of computing. people want their data automatically stored securely off their workstations because you never know when windoze is gonna crash, but you can be sure that your important docs are recoverable from any location.

  24. Try someting else too.... on Math And The Computer Science Major · · Score: 1

    If you get a cs degree, your bound to get some math... calculus and a class in discrete to say the least are prereqs for higher level classes. Yet the math and proofs to me are boring and if you understand them at a higher level then you can get by. Instead of studying more math think of studying something else... sure more math will help the way you think, but equally so a minor in biology, psychology, or even something oddball like english will be a better asset when looking for a job. I found that when i told interviewers that i got a minor in psychology and a major in cs they were much more interested than when i just talked about my cs major. Focusing on something that is less removed from cs gives you a different perspective when approaching problems and is a higly marketable skill. So go ahead, try something else that interests you rather than taking another cs or math course, unless the only thing you like is cs or math. :-D

    ... have a glass of green tea.

    you mean have a cup of green tea, a glass is for cold beverages, an cup usually made of ceramic material is typically used for hot beverages, or as in the case of green tea...warm, but not hot. Unless your talking about ice green tea, then you would drink that in a glass.
