  1. Re:OSS To The Rescue? on PKWare Files a Patent Application for Secure .zip · · Score: 1

    Tap ARchives? what's that? some kind of file grouping format that has no compression at all?

  2. Re:Browser is everything? on Don't Be a Sharecropper · · Score: 1
    According to this article HTML is the best UI environment yet except for content creation.
    Uh, he said "browser" not "html", there's a slight difference

    Damn, and all this time I could've been playing Quake3 in HTML
    I don't know about Quake, but there are some interesting java/flash games out there that are played in a browser.

    And I didn't even know that HTML was great at controlling hardware.
    Samba has a web based configuration (swat). I don't think it would be hard to make an app that cofigures hardware in a similar manner.

    Browsers, it the GUI's equivalent of the command line.

  3. Oh the humanity! on Nobel Prize Winners on Sci-Fi Flicks · · Score: 3, Funny

    aside from 'the scenes of maiming, dismemberment, clubbing, shooting, bayoneting and shoplifting'.
    Shoplifting, what's this world coming to?

  5. Re:Syntax Error on Does Google = God? · · Score: 1

    the sqrt(-1) is i (the imaginary numebr) so...
    "i is God" or "God is imaginary".

  6. He stole my GUI! on Contract Case Could Hurt Reverse Engineering · · Score: 5, Interesting
    This is about one company looking at anothers user interface of a CAD program and making improvements to thier own software. Oh, and the EULA said something about don't reverse enginering this.

    Isn't this more of a issue of Look and Feel?


    I also like how they say the GUI is a trade secret.

  7. Re:Syntax Error on Does Google = God? · · Score: 1

    if root is god

    right?

  8. What comments? on Settling SCOres · · Score: 1

    Why do you think they call it code?

  9. Re:DigiPen on Life At Full Sail - The Gamer School · · Score: 1
    I've finished my freshman year at Digipen. Let me tell you something about what it's like/how to servive. I hope you know how to program before you come here. They do have classes on C and C++, but this years freshmen seem to have had real trouble undersanding the basics. (I have taken Computer Science for two years in high school) The RTIS freshmen must take ART210, which is basicly art history but is the most time consuming thing that will have. I spent my nights in the first semester studying who painted what and what the differences are between a tone and a shade. The Game class is really where most of the focus is (after you finish art). You are grouped onto teams and you must design a game. You must present industry style documents on what the game is and how you are going to code it.

    Most of your learning though will be from the other students. For me it was about finally meeting other people who love to code, and have intrest in games. Sure, there are people that slack or really aren't ready to spend their day in front of a computer, but they drop out fairly quickly.

  10. MTV2 on MTV Movie Awards - Gollum's Acceptance Clip · · Score: 1

    Well, MTV2 is alot like the old MTV, you know playing videos. Following its parrent channel, it seems to be more of a series of shows rather then, "Hi the next song is...". Right now on MTV2 is "Def Jam Uncensored". More of a documentary then songs. :(
    Though next up is "Hip Hop Countdown". Does that really sound like underground music to you?

  11. Re:MAJOR problem looming on the horizon. on Talk With Michael Robertson · · Score: 1

    #Unless your just a sys admin and don't really use your computer for anything personal then this is a very nasty script.

  14. Re:2 hours? on Anime Unleashed on TechTV · · Score: 1

    I count 3 hours there, but it is a dirrect quote from TechTV. You would expect /. to make the error but TechTV?

  15. Re:Bayesian Filtering Flaw? on Slashback: Pop-Ups, Books, Qmail · · Score: 1

    I'm in a similar situation, a lot of spam and little real mail. Although there would be a lot of spam compaired to the lagit mail, the proposed method takes into account how many msg you have of each spam and non-spam, which should take care of outweighted spam/non-spam msg.
    p.s. I am working on too, though for kmail. I admire how fast he got his working.

  16. Cooling on Clockless Computing · · Score: 1

    asynchronous chips only use the part of the chip that needs to be used. So when a computer is idle it would get cooler. Fans would not be requierd as much as a synched chip. I'm just hoping that a CPU fan would become obsolete or required to run only when high stress is put on the processer. Computing could be quieter.

  17. thin air on Skydiving from 25 Miles Up · · Score: 1

    If he opened the parachute in high in the atmosphere the thin air would push LESS in the parachute then it would close to the ground (that's why he will travel so fast in the first place) the force would be the same any point on the trip down.
    Though, if he opened it high in the atmoshere, it would take a long time to get down.

  18. the 'worst' algorithm on Is Profiling Useless in Today's World? · · Score: 1

    and thus are primarily limited by user response times, which are many orders of magnitude longer than even the worst algorithm.
    User response time is many times faster then the time it takes for a function to return that's stuck in an infinet loop.

  20. teach typing on Microsoft vs. Northwest Schools Part III · · Score: 1

    ... the age of the typewriter is dead,
    That maybe true, but they it's not a bad skill.
    I've volunteer to help at my local elementary school and seeing the kids try to type something like "My 2nd grade Science" in hyperstudio. Most of them are hunting for each letter. Now, there only in second grade but somewhere along the line they should learn to touch type.
