  1. What about the Men's Institute? on Women's Institute Consulted on Nuclear Waste · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Oh wait a minute, there isn't any!

  2. Star Trek parralels... on Quake 4 Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is it just me or does the story line for Quake 4 seem somewhat similar to ST:TNG where Picard was assimilated by the Borg?

    Plus the Strogg being a civilisation that goes through space assimilating any culture in it's path is another dead giveaway.

    I'm not saying it's not a bloody awesome story tho! Well done id!

  3. Re:Great... on Blackboard and WebCT merge · · Score: 1

    I've only worked with WebCT as a developer so from my perspective WebCT is crap! I ended up writing a smaller version of it just because I hated it so much!

  4. Why don't they get it on HBO Attacking BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Whatever they do, we'll find a way to circumvent it anyhow! They're just pissing us off, and the thing is, you piss too many of us off, we'll eventually bring them down more than what was already happening in the first place! Catch 22 if you ask me!

  5. Re:Complexity on Dynamic HTML The Definitive Reference (2nd edition) · · Score: 1

    HTML is not a language but scripting languages are classified as programming languages.

    Here is a clip from www.dictionary.com

    programming language

    n : (computer science) a language designed for programming computers [syn: programing language]

    programming language

    A formal language in which computer programs are written. The definition of a particular language consists of both syntax (how the various symbols of the language may be combined) and semantics (the meaning of the language constructs).

    Languages are classified as low level if they are close to machine code and high level if each language statement corresponds to many machine code instructions (though this could also apply to a low level language with extensive use of macros, in which case it would be debatable whether it still counted as low level). A roughly parallel classification is the description as first generation language through to fifth generation language.

    Another major distinction is between imperative languages and declarative languages.
