  1. Re:Top posting, grrr on Rediff Joins The 1GB Webmail Club · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why? That is the standard way of doing it through email. No one wants to scroll down hundreds of lines to see your message. The only place idiots think that bottom posting is acceptable is usenet and it shouldn't be used there either.

  2. Re:Simple -- Art Bell on Interesting Tech-Related Online Talk Radio? · · Score: 1

    Try alt.binaries.sounds.radio.misc, they have commercial free recordings of a ton of radio shows.

  3. Re:Air America Radio on Interesting Tech-Related Online Talk Radio? · · Score: 1

    Do you mean the station that is in such a poor financial position because of their annoying talk show hosts and crappy content that they had to fire some of the top execs and then could not even afford to pay their hosts so now they have extremists like Al Franken doing the show for free? No thanks.

  4. Re:This is another reason why C should be deprecat on New Linux Kernel Crash-Exploit discovered · · Score: 1

    Give credit where credit is due, this troll was stolen from eggtroll originally posted here.

  5. Re:Cost of Compact Framework? on DotGNU Ported to PocketPC · · Score: 2, Informative

    Or you can download it for free

  6. Re:Schools not teaching assembly anymore on Why Learning Assembly Language Is Still Good · · Score: 1

    I find that odd too. I went to a small junior college and learned intel x86 asm there, but after transferring to a university the only asm they teach is picoblaze which is an extremely limited asm language (barely handles interrupts) that is just a wrapper around VHDL. I am glad I learned intel prior to this, it just shows how much I would be missing.

  7. Re:Good point on Is Finding Security Holes a Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    It's easier to reverse engineer than to develop

    uh, no.

    That's my IMHO. What do you think?

    I am glad that is your in your humble opinion, but it is wrong.

  8. Re:Apology on Mathematician Claims Proof of Riemann Hypothesis · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Where does it say that? I just searched the whole pdf.

  9. Re:Discrete mathematics on Math And The Computer Science Major · · Score: 1

    Discrete math and finite math are NOT the same classes. Discrete deals with logic and cs stuff while finite has a description of "Sets, matrices, systems of equations and inequalities, linear programming, combinatorial techniques, probability, mathematics of finance, Markov chains, game theory". These are not the same, some of the content overlaps but finite is mostly for non majors trying to fulfill a requirement.

  10. Re:Dear God man on Websites For The Frugal? · · Score: 1

    bensbargains.net one of the best.

  11. Re:I Use X Windows on New Windows Worm on the Loose · · Score: 1

    Except there is a reason to reboot for most updated. When you are replacing a core component of the operating system, it needs a reboot.

  12. Re:No problemo on MIT Studies Software Development Processes · · Score: 1

    Southpark reference from the latest episode if anyone didn't get this one.

  13. Or on Instant Live Concert Recordings · · Score: 1

    You could go to sharingthegroove.com and check out the tours section, chances are it will have been recorded.

  14. Re:No. on PHP and SQL Security · · Score: 1

    Why would you use $_REQUEST? That means you don't know if your variables are coming from POST or GET, so you decide to use a catchall to make it easier on yourself.

  15. Re:CS/EE does NOT equal CET on To Be Or Not To Be A CET? · · Score: 1

    Wow, only 'basic algebra' required to take the whole slew of circuit analysis courses. Something wrong here?

  16. Re:The "T" stands for technology on To Be Or Not To Be A CET? · · Score: 1

    Gary Gary Gary. Devry is not an accredited program. They can make up all the Bachelor degree they wish, but it is not an engineering degree. I wouldn't be surprised if you did 10% of the work that a 4-year university requires. How do I know? I know someone who goes there.

  17. Re:PHP5 on PHP 5 Release Candidate 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Wrong. I put php5 up on a very large website and there were multiple errors, mainly in class design. It is not a drop in replacement for php4, it requires a rewrite a php4 code.

  18. Re:Funny, was talking about this yesterday on HP Releases New RPN Scientific Calculator · · Score: 1

    You might want to take a look at this. It is much faster than the ti89 processor and support both algebraic and RPN mode.

  19. Re:We trust Google.... don't we. on Gmail Commentary and Responses · · Score: 1

    Just out of curiosity, what do you have to hide in your searches that is so private that you wouldn't want them to know? And please no slippery slopes.

  20. Re:PHP vs. Perl on PHP 5 RC 1 released · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the command line interface php added. It makes it similar but not as powerful as perl's CLI. Also running cronjobs is much more straightforward than fetching a webpage each time.

  21. Re:A response to X? on MySQL Writes Exception for PHP in License · · Score: 1

    Untill fairly recently MySQL did not support foreign keys and it still doesn't by default.

    Yes, it does. InnoDB comes as the default DB as of mysql 4.0 and it supports foreign keys.

  22. Re:Perhaps this is an improvement? on WineConf 2004 Wrapup · · Score: 1

    It has nothing to do with the paperclip but I have found that having a search box immediately there to type in a help question is handy sometimes. The other day I was trying to add a caption to a figure but it was not putting them in the same table as my other labels so I asked clippy. Sure enough it said that images had to be inline for the labels to be able to group together.

  23. Polyratings on TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here at calpoly we have a third party ratings system at http://www.polyratings.com which does almost the same thing. I was looking on it the other day and there are comments about how they want a teacher to die, just random profanity unrelated to the class, among others. The site has not been taken down, nor has it even removed these comments which are still up for everyone to see. Anyone with a half brain ignores these comments and just goes to the next one anyways since they are probably from a disgruntled student who couldn't make the grade.

  24. Re:Lets hope that the result is progress on Google v. Microsoft · · Score: 1

    No, but you also left out that the 3MB opera you refer to is without java, while the java version weighs in at 16MB. Guess what, they is bigger than IE with java. So what was your point again?

  25. Re:MSN, Just a Poor Search Engine? on Google v. Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Wow, great job at fudging the numbers! Now here are the real results for the mods that actually attempt the same search:

    Results 1-15 of about 8460136 containing "google"
