  1. same for my school on America's Most Connected Campuses · · Score: 1

    SUNY stony brook
    does campus have wireless network... they say no, but we have one in a large number of the buildings.

    does campus offer cutting edge tech... stony brook's known for it, yet its shown as no

    I think perhaps the site has some flaws in their ranking

    I did notice that it says answers are as school provides 'em. maybe in the case of schools with wrong information they talked to people in the administration who really didnt know the answers as opposed to the IT depts

  2. well, to be fair on Bootlegged Music in Russia · · Score: 1

    actually, in the US if it can be proven that the need for self preservation outways the crime committed than its a possible defense in court

  8. interesting on Engadget Interviews TiVo CEO · · Score: 2, Informative

    High definition will become more commonplace. Five years from now, you'll be able to get television content over broadband, whether it's over satellite or cable, and it will be the start of some new and interesting sources of content which has not been available to people to date. And five years from now, the idea of electronic delivery of video rentals will be real. Blockbuster will still be in business, but the idea of getting your video rental over broadband will have started to happen.
    this is an interesting and very realistic view on the future. Very often the demise of video rental is predicted within the next five years, as is the death of traditional tv. Ramsay seems to understand this won't happen overnight. As he says, it will begin to happen, but won't be as sudden as is often predicted by media outlets searching for flashy stories.

  9. Re:Any company that puts this in its games... on Online Gaming Ad Network Launches · · Score: 1

    actually, the images will proably be loaded on the game's server, then transmitted along with all the other scenery to you. it shouldnt make the slightest bit of difference bandwidth-wise.

  10. Re:Any company that puts this in its games... on Online Gaming Ad Network Launches · · Score: 3, Insightful

    do you buy movies that contain ads (like blade runner, fifth element, and minority report for ex)? Then you're paying them for the right to advertise on your screen, how is this any different?

    wasnt there a recent article about google doing something about this here: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/10/18/023 6201&tid=111&tid=217&tid=95&tid=1 as I understand it, yahoo's signing technology, which hopefully will become a standard, will help stop such attacks. Google signing on to it helps push it quite a bit

  17. I hope on Annual Child's Play Charity Drive Begins · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I hope these guys get lots of press this year. They are absolutely right in being indignant about the world's ills being laid at the feet of violent games, movies, etc. and a drive like this will give a good face lift to the public perception of gaming.

    "You guys have proven yourselves to be a powerful force when stirred into action. Here is your opportunity to use that power to do some real good."

    amen, go and dig through your pockets ppl, wait a little to buy doom3 and donate here instead.
