  1. in my experience on What Math Courses Should We Teach CS Students? · · Score: -1

    Being a double major in CS and philosophy, I found that an intro course in propositional logic was a good seqway into classes like Discrete math and foundations of CS (Discrete structures to some). Also, if you get far enough, combinatorics and/or group theory would be good for FP.

  2. so then... on 64-Bit Vista Kernel Will Be a "Black Box" · · Score: -1

    I guess this means the cardinal of good kernel design won't be allowed in?

  3. weee on Fox And Universal Say Goodbye To Halo Movie · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    thank god, maybe they'll cancel the other peices of shit that should never get made but we'll probably see hours of commercials and custom ipods made for...

  4. You've got to be kidding on Slashback: ICANN, OLPC, Agile, Yahoo, BayStar · · Score: -1

    People in the US actually desire to consume one of these laptops? Do they not realize it's for poor kids? If one of my friends said that in my presence I'd smack them in the face like the mindless animal they are.

  5. super on Counter-Strike Source Gameplay Revamp · · Score: 0

    Not that I don't like valve or anything... They are definatly talented game programmers but the gameplay for CSS was always really flimsy, so this might turn it into something that could compete with ID/raven on the fun factor.

  6. what the hell? on Linux Laptop from R Cubed Reviewed · · Score: -1

    how many times do we need to hear about what software people have installed on their machines? hasn't it all been the same for the last ohhhh 2 years at least? stop telling us. nobody cares.

  7. this is ridiculous on School Admins Demand Access to Students' Cellphones · · Score: 0, Insightful

    how is the school supposed to know if the cell phones are even the property of the students? chances are it technically belongs to the parents in which case it's an invasion of their privacy.

  8. Re:The Klingon Dreadnought must have exploded! on NASA Detects Nearby Mystery Explosion · · Score: -1

    wasn't that a shitty voyager episode? and it wasn't klingon.

  9. yea really on Cutting Through The Next-Gen BS · · Score: -1

    these consoles are going to flop for sure. nobody cares to spend 300 dollars on slightly prettier graphics.

  10. Re:wtf on Science 'Not for Normal People' · · Score: -1

    maybe it's like a teaser for subscriptions? sorta like free skinimax for a week?

  11. this is nothing new on Want a Cool and Quiet PC? Dunk it in Oil · · Score: -1

    i remember there was a story on slashdot several years ago (maybe 99 or 2000) where some guy made a cooler like this out of a styrophome cooler and cooking oil... this is just the same thing 5 years too late

  12. well on Are Americans Addicted to Technology? · · Score: -1

    i just spend the last 3 days trying to capture obsidian flesh from a boss on perdition rock in guildwars. is that additcted?

  16. cool on EFF Sues NC Election Board · · Score: 2, Funny

    now can we look at the ones in ohio and flordia?

  17. An even better question... on Should RISC OS be Open Sourced? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    should osnews.com and slashdot.org be merged?

  18. planet earth? on When More Information Isn't a Good Thing · · Score: -1

    i thought this was mars...

  19. oh pshhhh on IE UI Designer On His Switch To FireFox · · Score: -1

  20. Re:Retarded List Of Games on America's Gaming Elite · · Score: -1

    your an idiot. pick up quake 3 (or 4 soon), it's chepear and more worth your time.

  21. Re:No thanks on So You Want To Be a Game Designer? · · Score: -1

    i agree, if your a modder (read: programmer) it's easier to get into the business if you've got the creative chops for it (or so i hear) i make a mod for jk3 called red slushie (like orange smoothie pro for quake3) and it would be impossible for someone who is purely a graphical artist to get into it than it is a programmer with a music or art backround... thats my 0.2

  22. boooo on yellowTAB's Zeta 1.0 Reviewed · · Score: -1

    it's also old, wait till haiku is done

  23. Re:a few starting ideas on Improving Education? · · Score: -1

    the idea of removing computers from a school entirely is a GOOD idea, remember that you are bound by the hip to technology at this point (more like a crack head to a pipe) so try to realize this please...

  24. who gives a shit? on Halo 2 World Tourney Finals - Aussie Champ's View · · Score: -1

    since when is halo 2 considered a skillful game? someone pleeease remind me when constant indicator of game events on your screen wasn't considered something like a wallhack?

    to me, a hard game has to consist of at least some combination of rail flicking and strafe running (at least).. what does halo have.. AUTO AIM.

    need i go into more detail?

  25. i know about this on Math to Crack Deep Impact Blurry Vision Problem · · Score: 4, Informative

    it's a process called deconvolution, right? I did this as a project for sophomore year astronomy... which i believe involved asking on slashdot about it.
