    hmmm...I'm a Computer Engineering Major at Penn State, and many of my classes are shared by the CS guys. From what i can tell, it's hard to pick out the CSs from the CEs by lookin at 'em; we're all geeky around here.

  6. Re:Left Handed? on A DS In Every Pot · · Score: 1

    The game has an option to use the abxy buttons instead of the dpad and put the stylus in the left hand...problem solved.

    Not really, only the slashdot ones do...most people don't touch Openoffice, and the only machine i've seen cygwin on is my work machine, and those of my linux-using cronies.

  11. Re:Times change, people don't on Bruce Perens on UserLinux and Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Plenty of people still use slackware, it has imho the most unintrusive package management system around.

    Linux itself will run fine on 32MB. It all depends on what you're running on top of it
    X is a major culprit, specifically DEs like GNOME and KDE.

    But i'm fairly confident you could get a reasonably responsive bash shell on the thing.

  23. Re:Why? on Mark Vena on Dellienware · · Score: 1

    I wholeheartedly agree. Perhaps i should have used different phrasing. I was really referring to those that play too much counterstrike and don't really use all that power for anything else. Not nessessarily nerds, per se.
