  1. I fear for GT's CS reputation... on Slashback: Pricedrops, Honor, Games · · Score: 1
    Imagine you're in charge of hiring programmers for a corporation - after reading this, would you hire those kids when they graduate?

    Writing a selection sort is something all CS undergrads should have to do - it helps build the basics in a CS education. I mean, if you can't do that, then how are you ever going to master ordered insertion of lists, switching pointers, et cetera?

    On the first day, it said "Hello World!"...

  2. We should ask... on The Empire Stumbles · · Score: 1

    ...how Blackwolf the Dragon Master feels about this...

  3. What happens if... on Future Computers · · Score: 0

    ...my DNA-computer gets bitten by a radioactive spider?

  4. Pop ads on Pop-Under Ads Patented · · Score: 1
    I wouldn't mind pop-under ads if they didn't become the "focused" task as they usually become. That way they wouldn't interfere with what I am doing.

    Of course, if that never happened, ad-server clients would complain that the ad never really gets noticed.

    But, are these ads any worse than the ones that are coded into the page you're looking at? For example, the slashdot design looks very nice, except for at the top, where an ugly yellow ad sits atop with huge, red letters declaring the website its advertising.

  5. Cons-piracy theory on Targeted Worm Hits Kazaa's Network · · Score: 4, Interesting
    A lot of people will probably put this on the RIAA/other copyright crusaders, but I see P2P networks as a huge market for propogating virii and sending people trojans.

    Large file-sharing networks like Kazaa have birthmarks in the shapes of bulls-eye's.

  6. Software eye-gouging on Console Pricing Economics · · Score: 1

    An interesting scenario would be if Nintendo and Sony decided to lower software prices [ps2.ign.com] as sort of an eye-gouge to Microsoft's plans...

  7. Wohoo! on Pacebook Tablet PC · · Score: 1
    "Press any key to continue."

    Where's the any key? I see alt, esk, citarol, but I don't see any any key! Ooo, a tab!

  8. As a comp-sci major... on Software Glitches Cause Airport Delays in Britain · · Score: 1

    ...I'd be deathly afraid of using 3rh33t hAx0r's open-source software "Find Yo Damn Plane, Foobar! v69.666" if I were ever coding something that would keep track of commercial airplanes.
