  2. Re:Gentoo Linux Runs On The G5 ... from Mac/ on Apple Wins VT in Cost. vs. Performance · · Score: 2, Interesting

    the crazy speeds they are claiming on the G5 running Gentoo Linux

    Why hell, i get blazing speeds with gentoo on my Athlon, i'd sure hope that you'd get them on the g5 as well :).

  3. Re:Oh goody. on Essay Grading Software For Teachers · · Score: 1

    Please cite your sources, as you have lost the burden of proof.

    Read a grading rubric. IIRC, they aren't available online and are purchsed by schools, so i can't link. And i am fairly sure all the other ESSAYs are graded that way. Calc doesn't count because it doesn't have essays. (PS, chem does have essys).

    utterances,
    ooh, you're so big an bad that you call them utterances instead of pstings. I feel sooo bad now.

  5. It's of as long as ther's opt-out on Should ISPs Be The Little Man's Firewall? · · Score: 1

    I use Earthlink that only blocks port 25. I don't have a mailserver so i don't know if i can get it unblocked, but i consider that a good thing. I have a server running FreeBSD 4.4 which, unbeknownnst to me, has sendmail enabled by default*. I only found this out when /var filled up beacuse of the amount of spam mesages my server was trying to send. I am glad that port 25 was blocked or I would have been (and i guess still be) a spammer without knowing it.

    But i do think that a FREE opt-out option is a must.

    *Props for the BSD guys for fixing this in more recent versions.

    No, you'll have to get the buisness account that costs 10x as much for slower speeds.

  7. Re:Oh goody. on Essay Grading Software For Teachers · · Score: 1

    Calc doesn't really have essay questions. I was referring to Chemistry and US Hist. I think all histories and sciences are the same. I'm not criticising it, as there's not a better way to grade, but it does kinda suck if you leave out the key word.

    I never took AP English, but that's how all the other AP tests work.

  9. Re:Good, this is what people need. on Essay Grading Software For Teachers · · Score: 1

    a teacher still signs the grade, so ther's still someone to bribe; however, the parent is saying if the computer grades for the teacher, then the student has nobody to ask about why something was counted off.

  10. Re:Oh goody. on Essay Grading Software For Teachers · · Score: 1

    kinda like AP tests?
    (for those who don't know AP essays are graded on how many words/phrases form a list were included in the essay.

    Yea, but if ms went to trial, it would probobly cost more than $23 mil. That's why all companies settle.

    Yea, they never miss deadlines. Windows 94 was right on schedule as was win97. Also, they did a good job of merging the home and corp versions in late 99.

    Seriously, the only deadline ms has ever made was the important one. Dos 1.0.
