  1. Re:Legal Status of the term 'Engineer' on Software Engineering Body of Knowledge · · Score: 1

    erm.. doctor.. as in B.SC, M.SC and Ph.D..
    no need for medical degree here.

    Engineering is not just a word (and a ring).
    Let's say an engineer designs a machine. And instead of putting a secure toggle switch, he puts a push button.
    They could revoke his licence on that fact only. Just the fact that he apposed his final signature on the paper with the design of the machine.

  2. It's called hibernating.. on Spintronics in your Future? · · Score: 1

    And thinkpads already have that feature.

    Dumps the ram on a file.

    There is also a "safety net" mode where the memory is saved even if the battery life is exhausted. "The tasks are restored from the hibernation file as soon as the AC power or charged battery is installed"

  3. Re:Check out Erasmatazz on Interactive Fiction Competition 2001 · · Score: 1

    Check out Ultima Underworld.
    Both 1 and 2.

    Kill or befriend those goblins.. bash doors down with your warhammer..

    But if you're allergic to DOS, I'd suggest looking into ARX. (not out yet, right?) It's the unofficial sequel to the UW games.
