    tell your bosses its free development. you give them some code, they build around it (if its good).

  5. Re:answer to your offtopic question on Yamauchi Puts the Game Industry In Its Place · · Score: 1

    conventional wisdom is that its better to make somebody wait a couple times for a little bit then to make them wait once for a long time. because they may either thing something is broken or not want to wait and go somewehre else. i didn't say its a good reason. just a reason.

  6. don't deny them their pay on Patent On 'Private' URLs · · Score: 1

    without the right to patent it there would never be session id's. think of all the research the coders had to put into it. if it wasn't for the knowledge that they would be able to sue the piss out of people who didn't pay royalties they never would have published thier results and nobody would have thought of it. those engineers and coders are probably barely able to put enough food on the table to feed their families, don't fight this patent unless you hate children.

  7. answer to your offtopic question on Yamauchi Puts the Game Industry In Its Place · · Score: 1

    so pages load faster. also probably gives more banner space or something.

    or like 99.999% of dot coms. thats why a tax break won't help the economy. people will just go back to investing stupidly.

    for the unenlightened, can you explain the differences between static and dynamic linking? i don't know since i don't do high level languages.

    which means that you have to actually innovate and write good code to get paid for it.

    i was responding poster of the parent, i don't want to let people get all down on what kind of job you can get right out of school.

  13. Re:HS Co-op on Getting The Most Out Of Co-Op Programs? · · Score: 1

    i would like to disagree about entry level positions (at least regarding hardware jobs). if you have the right skills you can really hit the ground running. i have seen guys get involved in their own designs in less than 6 months. i myself got to do a redesign out of school (better than testing, not quite as good as design) if they want you plugging cards into a test box, pressing buttons, and typing in results 8 hours a day for 6 months its a sign that there either isn't enough work to go around or the managers aren't doing a good job shoploading. either is a bad sign. anybody who disagrees based on experiences over 3 years ago is not caught up in the current state of the hardware world.

  14. Re:Glimpse of the real world... on Getting The Most Out Of Co-Op Programs? · · Score: 1

    sounds like they're working for a company thats on its way under. if it can't efficiently use its resources, i would find work at another company.

  15. Re:You expected Doom to look like Super Mario? on GeForce 3 Demoed - Running DOOM 3 · · Score: 1

    what makes you think doom's legacy means darkness? the original doom was not colorful, but it was plenty bright enough to see what was happening

  16. Re:Where are we SUPPOSED to get cheap labor? on Getting The Most Out Of Co-Op Programs? · · Score: 1

    i kind of agree, you need to set up a system that automates what you are doing now as much as possible. after you show a little initiative, people will notice, and when you ask for more work they will probably try a little harder to think of something for you to do.

    those guys are cleaning up after themselves, not sitting there for 8 hours a day cleaning test tubes or whatever.

    roads in michigan blow. the states corrupt policy to road repair is to blame.

  19. Re:Of course not on Cyber-Court in Michigan? · · Score: 1

    you know why it won't matter? michigan has high taxes. they have a state income tax, sales tax, and high gas taxes. along with bad weather. companies will move to states like texas (no stat income tax) or oregon (no sales tax)

  20. Re:kinda like BSD then.. on FSF Denies Latest Apple Attempt at APSL · · Score: 1

    it says no such thing. basically all the bsd license says is 'you can't sue us if this doesn't work, and don't use our name to promote your distribution.' nothing brings out the trolls like the license articles

  21. Re:Who cares? on FSF Denies Latest Apple Attempt at APSL · · Score: 1

    quit trolling. the fsf encourages you to use other licenses (x11, with the warning that your software can be included in proprietary software). he wasn't trying to stir up anybody, just answering the simple question of whether it was a free license. as for the gnu library, they wrote it, so if you want to use it, play by their rules. otherwise do it yourself.

  22. Re:He's done this already... on Spying and Technology: Robert Philip Hanssen · · Score: 1

    you are missing the most important part of the message
    "you have no chance to survive make your time" translates to "you have no time to chance, if you're to survive." once this has been decoded, clearly "all your base are belong to us" references a specific drop point and time, possible the very place hanssen was captured.

  23. Re:Wow... the Crimebuster became the criminal... on The Future of Copy Control · · Score: 1

    the article had nothing to do with the law other than using it as tool to get what you want (people to stop pirating in this case). hacking is another way to get it.
