  1. You extra time on hand on Stuffing Junkmail Postage-Paid Envelopes? · · Score: 1

    I like the next person do not like getting junk e-mail/mail but the main difference between e-mail the regular mail is that you do not have to pay for you to get your mail. The postal service it self is one of the very few government agency that pays for itself. So as a consumer you do not have to pay the get your mailed delivered to you. There are many ways ways to make sue you do not get your name on a mailing list read before you ever put your information on something call the credit burea and ask them to take your name of thier list. Instead of sending empty or over stuffed evenlopes send a letter to them asking them to take you of thier and make copy of your letter if they send you agian send them another saying you will sue if they send you another piece of mail then if they send you agian sue them that will hurt more than just mailing them a stuffed evenelope. There are ways to protect yourself agianst junk mail use them do not be childish.

  8. Putting Linux where your money is on Linux Powered Dodge · · Score: 1

    I like to see when bug companies use linux for things like this it helps put the idea of linux of being a toy out of people's heads.

  9. The improper use of technology on The Tightening Net: Part One · · Score: 1

    I hate when people tell tell me it is in the computer it must be right. People mis use technologly all the time. The mis use of technology is always a problem. The technology was always there to do this stuff was around years ago but it was only held for the big companies. Now anyone with a computer and some brians and balls can do it. That is the real problem.

  10. This Goes Back to one thing on The Object Oriented Hype · · Score: 2

    How people like just get it instead of getting gone right. If you start your project does not matter which language you use or the programing method as long as you choose the right right for the job. At school people are always asking way I use c instead of c++ I simply say I do not need c++ right now therefore I do not use it.

  13. Math Major on CS vs CIS · · Score: 1

    Currently I am going for my Math Major with a minor in computer science. The biggest difference I find between CS/CIS is how deep you get into computer science CS you take assembly CIS it is an elective. CIS you take software engineering CS it is an elective. CS you take os design CIS it is an elective. CIS you only take VB and one C++ class. CS you take VB and two C++ class and concepts of programming languages. So it really depends on your interest and how deep you want to get into how computers work.

  14. The Magic Program on Nazis on Napster · · Score: 1

    Easier said than done first you would need to create a database of the songs names and md5sum of all "Bad Songs" at every possible mp3 encoding level. Not a fun task. Then you will have the problem of people changing the songs remixes and stuff. I ould like to see the wonderfull program that does that. They could never really get them all. This will only cause more problems than good for everyone.
