  1. Obviously on "Clear" Laptop Found, In the Same Locked Office · · Score: 1

    Obviously, no one could have taken the information if it was still on the hard drive.

  2. Co-op/Internship on Practical Experience As a Beginning Programmer? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In my time at college, I've found that the most valuable experiences I've had have been at internships with real companies. Ask around at school and see if there is any kind of Career Center or other staff for students looking for work that can help you find an internship over the summer. Don't feel held back by your lack of experience; just be honest and they will let you know if you're not qualified.

    In addition to getting a feel for the real world of programming (and maybe making some money over the summer), being able to put industry experience on your resume before you even graduate from college is immensely valuable and shows potential employers that you're serious about being in the field.

    And if you find that you hate working in the real world, you find out before graduating from school ;).

  3. Dice Survey on Which IT Careers Are Hot and Which are Not? · · Score: 1

    http://career-resources.dice.com/tech_salary_surve y_06.shtml Along with a list of top-paying fields in IT, it also contains good info one which fields are most in-demand.

  4. Font on Slashdot CSS Redesign Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    Is it too much to ask that we keep serif fonts?

  5. 4-dimensional math using only 3 dimensions.... on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1

    He's trying to describe 4 dimensions using three. Imagine a stick-figure trying to describe how thick the piece of paper he was drawn is; you can't describe x, y and z with only x and y.

  6. No Judge Experience on Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1

    Is anyone else bothered by the fact that she has no past judging experience?

  7. Heat Disipation on Aquarium Full of Oil For PC Cooling · · Score: 1

    If he put some sort of radiator (heat sink?) on the top, would that help him any? As the warm oil dispates its heat through the radiator, convection would cycle the oil in the tank.

  8. Security Risks on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know what kind of security risks there are with this? For instance, is there a way that some malicious code could be executed in the preloaded page that I would not have otherwise gone to?

  9. Old-School on PSP And DS Duke It Out · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have a GameCube and a PC when I'm interested in 3D games. I have my GameBoy Advance for old-school classics that are in 2D. Fire Emblem (on the GBA) is easily one of my favorite games ever, and I've yet to play a good 3D Castlevania. Thing is, three-dimensions doesn't hide crappy gameplay.

  10. Penny-Arcade Sounds Off on Troika Games Closes · · Score: 2, Informative

    From Penny-Arcade "It sounds as though Troika is no more, or at any rate they are liquidating everything in their offices, so if they are still coherent as a developer presumably their next game involves sitting in a bare room. Troika (for those of you with a concussion) is the little company that couldn't, producing games of marvelous, unprecedented promise coupled with epic lapses in technical execution. The company was a hole that great ideas crawled half-way out of, so I hope you'll pardon me if I don't dab the corner of my eye with a handkerchief and try to look strong. There were undeniably talented people there. Hopefully they'll end up someplace where that kind of thing matters."

  11. Don't fear for bad voicing. on Trigun Coming to Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    I have it from a reliable source that the dubbed voices are very good. I downloaded the subs, and my heart sank as soon as i thought about dubs. However, the series' story and characters are so good that bad voicing might be able to be overlooked. Trigun is one of the better animes I've ever watched; it and Tenchi have the only characters that made me care.
