  1. Index of Boston/Cambridge speakers on Penny Arcade Speaks at MIT · · Score: 0

    I'm a college student in Boston who is interested in attending different speakers at different schools. Unfortunately, I never hear about the speakers until it's reported in the Globe. Is there an index or calendar of all the upcoming events at local colleges?

    PS: Are most lectures easy to sneak into? At Northeastern University know one checks ID and the doors aren't locked.

  2. Sounds exactly like gaim on AOL to Replace AIM with Triton · · Score: 0, Redundant

    errr....Gaim anyone?

  3. 30 seconds over soon? on Ken Jennings Gets a New Challenge · · Score: 0

    Will Ken Jennings 30 seconds will be over by then? IMHO I do not think that the new show will be as big as the streak.

  4. Google Link on TiVo Has to Fund Your Local Stadium · · Score: 0
  5. Studying Tips? on First Java AP Computer Science Exam Complete · · Score: 0

    My school splits computer science into two years. I took the first year last year and was interested in the subject, but because of scheduling conflicts I could not complete my second year until next year. Does anyone have any studying tips for the AP exam to help me remember what I forgot over the year?

  6. Re:A thought. on Simpsons Actors on Strike · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You forget how much money The Simpsons takes in. The Simpsons is the show that put Fox on the map. The biggest reason why the show is a sucsess is because of the dialog. I DO think the actors are worth 360,000 to Fox.

  7. PDA or Gameboy on Nintendo DS to Feature Wireless Connectivity? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Would you wrather have a good PDA that played games or a Gameboy that did PDA functions. I would want the PDA just because of the style even though the Gameboy would be cheaper.

  8. Re:Linus Desktop on Whose Desktop Would You Most Like To See? · · Score: 1

    I think you read that in his book "Just for Fun" but I bet he could have changed the distro since then.

  9. Re:Not music at all on What Was the Very First MP3 You Downloaded? · · Score: 1

    I also remember before napster most mp3's were of comedians. The first MP3 I ever downloaded was Adam Sandler - Tollbooth Willy

  10. Running Shoes or "Skateboard" Shoes on Airport and Foot Friendly Trade Show Shoes? · · Score: 1

    Running shoes were ment to be put a lot of stress under and skating shoes are really fluffy I recomend Vans.

  11. Read it all ready on Apartment Lit Solely by LEDs · · Score: 2, Informative

    NYTimes had an article about this company on thursday here is the
    Google link.

  12. Raciest? on U.S. Begins Digital Fingerprinting In Airports · · Score: 1

    This seems raciest IMHO. Why are almost all the countries on the list white-European?

  13. In Other News........ on Stardust Apparently Successful · · Score: 0, Troll

    after testing the sample scientists figure out how to make the comet more efficient by running Linux.

  14. AOL proud?! on You've Got Spam: AOL Blocks 1/2 Trillion Spam · · Score: 1

    Why the hell is AOL going around whoring the fact that there customers get the most spam. You might have blocked a 1/2 trillion but another trillion has gotten through.

  15. Re:ITMS is the true winner on MP3 Winners and Losers for 2003 · · Score: 1

    IMHO iTunes is not noteworth without the soon to be released iPod Jr. Although sales are good now, internet music sales will eventually stabilize. For any form of new media to be successful in becoming the major format for music it has to be as easily obtained in stores or on the internet like cd's. The new format mush also have affordable portable players for the masses(The original iPod is NOT for the masses). Supply for home stereo players are not as important as they were for cd's because the PC has become the most commonly used stereos in the house.

  16. Re:And while we're here... on Choosing Between DVD+R and DVD-R? · · Score: 1

    didn't DVD-RAM come first

  17. Re:Why this will cost jobs... on 10th Circuit Says FTC Can Enforce Do Not Call · · Score: 1

    to quote Dave Barry:

    "mugging laws limits the jobs for muggers, but you don't see them complaining."

    not an exact quote

  18. School Prep on Beginning Java Objects · · Score: 1

    This previous school year I took the first year of a two year computer science class (I am part of the first year where the AP exam will be in Java instead of C++ ). I will not be able to take the second year next year because of scheduling conflict but will be able to take it my senior year. Our class left off at advanced math problems being solved by recursion (the Towers of Hanoi problem sticks out in my head.) What would be a good book to review what we learned this year and be prepared for my second year of the class?"

  19. Re:Tell news on Ogg Vorbis decoder chip a reality · · Score: 1
    What's so special about that? These guys have done something similar before as a university project: http://oggonachip.sourceforge.net/
    It means more then a simple chip, it shows that ogg and open source will come to the masses and possibly (but unlikely) take over the hated mp3.
  20. Re:Oh, come on! on DVD Players - Buy Now or Wait for the Violet Laser Models? · · Score: 1
    Standard? To emerge? See DVD+/-RW/RAM/ROM/R for standardization example. In other words you will wait till the end of the world...
    IMHO a standard will come out within 12 months, people who think that one will never emerge are just impatient.
  21. Re:eh? on DVD Players - Buy Now or Wait for the Violet Laser Models? · · Score: 1

    Its easier to ignore the quality of a product 5 or more years old compared to a product you just put $150 down on.

  24. School prep on Head First Java · · Score: 1

    This previous school year I took the first year of a two year computer science class (I am part of the first year where the AP exam will be in Java instead of C++ ). I will not be able to take the second year next year because of scheduling conflict but will be able to take it my senior year. Our class left off at advanced math problems being solved by recursion (the Towers of hanoi problem sticks out in my head.) What would be a good book to review what we learned this year and be prepared for my second year of the class?

  25. Quake Chess on UnrealSpeed Mod Goes Racing · · Score: 1

    You could make a chess like came using a fps engine I'm not sure how exciting it would be but I would play a few rounds. The hard part would be scripting the AI.
