  1. like automechanics on Attracting Women Into Computer Science · · Score: -1

    There are few girls in IT like there are few girls that are automechanics. They are just not appealed to the profession.
    Check out all those Lan parties where girls can enter for free. It does not really attract that much more girls.
    Same in IT, it's technical and they just prefer social science, communication stuff.

    This is funny. There is another car model called Cordoba: the Seat Cordoba, it's a European car, don't know if they sell in the US.

    I checked the site impressive indeed!

  7. that long? on Messenger En Route To Mercury · · Score: -1, Troll

    so, euhm, correct me if I'm wrong.
    Mercury is closest to the sun.
    So, it's not that far away from earth (considering other planets like Jupiter and Saturnus).
    Is it going to take 7 freaking years to get to that burned rock ???????

    Melissa, hmmm, you're soooo hot!

  9. Re:Trainers and cheat codes! on Designing Videogames For The Wage Slave · · Score: 0

    not emmediatly, but what happens is that you have various levels of diculty, and normally when you play on easy, like in a first person shooter, you can run around without getting killed too often. I think that's the difference between the casual player and the die-hard gamer, since (I take the fps again as an example), the die-hard gamer will be very cousious, trying to save every bullet he got and save his game after every enemy killed, while the casual ones will just run around and shoot everything that moves. Besides, playing on easy still allows you to have a nice gaming experience.
    The cheats, well, hmmm, that's like afterwards, like GTA3 for example, where you get the tank and shoot everything :).

  12. Re:Ridiculous. on Is Math A Sport? · · Score: 0

    It could be like track&Field, several disciplines:
    - long shot
    - jerk off sprint

    Still need some discplines for women though.

    If you had an external device to put on your genitals, I wonder if you'd have to calibrate it too :).

    They better make the system secure, I don't want a hacker playing with my dick, unless it's girl :).

    In this evolutionary process, slashdotters are unfortunately al gone after the first iteration.

  15. Lada on Rare East German Arcade Game Unearthed · · Score: 0

    when playing Rocky IV on this machine you first have to kill the black dude and then win against Rocky.

  16. data mining vs visualization on Data Mining Goes 3D · · Score: 0

    the company does visualization. It doesn't state anything about datamining itself. Everybody does clustering really. Just giving it a 3-D aspect where the height is probability or something like that isn't really that high tech

  17. isn't it free anyway? on Mozilla Gains on Internet Explorer · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Does it actually really matters? Isn't Microsoft Internet Explorer shipped for free anyway?
    Did anyone ever wonder what the market share of applications like WordPad, Paint and stuff are? I'm sure the windows calculator still must have like 99% :)

  18. 60-90 days? on FCC to Require Broadcasters to Keep Tapes of Shows · · Score: 1, Funny

    So, can they choose? I would choose 60 :).

  19. Re:I don't understand ... on FCC to Require Broadcasters to Keep Tapes of Shows · · Score: 0, Insightful

    I saw an Oprah show in which a nipple was blurred out during an explanation of a breastcancer self-examination!!
    There's this show on MTV, about getting plastic surgery to look like your favorite star, and they always have a small sequence about the down-side of plastic surgery.
    So, they show a girl that had breast implants and her breast show rimples, that's what happens when the implants are not filled correctly. They blurred the whole breast, so you actually see nothing.
    I guess it's ok to censor information. Maybe they should stop talking about sex since it involves sex and dirty words as well.

  20. computer Vs human on World Computer Chess Championships Underway · · Score: 0

    The funny thing about chess computer programs is that, while they can beat human players, it's possible that they perform so-so against other programs that lose against humans.
    I read something about how they can adapt they're play-style to the style of the humans, but this turns out really different against other computers.

  21. Re:Sales customers on Best Buy Says Customers Not Always Right · · Score: 0

    Isn't the "sales period" the only period where stores can sell at loss?
    So buying lots of stuff would actually not make them any profit.

  22. Re:hello Titan Masters on Cassini Shatters Titan Theories · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    a guy goes fishing every sunday early in the morning for years.
    He never missed it one day, even if it rains or it's cold.
    But that morning, at 6 am in the morning, it's like the storm of the century.
    He thinks, well, let's try, but he heads back since the weather is too disgusting.
    For the first time in all those years he won't go fishing. So he goes back at home and undresses to go back to bed, and his wife, half asleep with her face in the pillow mumbles: "are you already there?"
    He replies "yes, it's storming outside"
    wife says "and my husband went fishing, he wouldn't miss one day for all the gold in the world, the asshole"

    pleaeaeeaeaeaeaeaeese mod me funny, I know it's totally off topic!

  23. Re:Strongly Typed Container Classes on Java 1.5.0 Now Officially Java 5.0 · · Score: 0

    I guess you mean the Templates.
    well there are lots of new features that look like old C features, like the printf
    and some new loop syntax.
    And the fact that you can now get a type out of a container instead of having to cast to it's Object.
    like: int nr = vect.get(1) instead of int nr = ((Integer) vect.get(1)).intValue();

    I just hope one thing, that they didn't change too much or deprecated stuff in SWING, 'cause 1.3 -> 1.4 gave enough problems allready, I don't want to have to go that stuff all over again.
