  1. Collect $200 as you pass go... on HP to Install Netscape on all new PCs · · Score: 1

    Is this a sign of the monopoly finally being broken?

  2. Re:The least problem on Emergency Gadgets Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't you also find Tina Turner?

  3. Re:Terrible secret of space on Mysterious Stars Surround Andromeda's Black Hole · · Score: 1

    So did the pusher robot shove them into orbit, and now the shover robot is pushing them around the black hole?

  4. Re:Instead of raising rates.. on Jobs Resists Music Industry Pressure · · Score: 1

    I think the first place it appeared was the iMac. Other than that, though, I have no idea who thought it up. Maybe it's supposed to sound personal, like "I".

  5. Re:Now ... on Trigonometry Redefined without Sines And Cosines · · Score: 1

    The problem is, you can't apply l'Hopital's rule in general. You need to be able to evaluate the limits of the numerator and the denominator to figure out how to apply it, or if it even applies. So, a basic knowledge of limits is pretty much necessary, unless your teachers are giving you a bunch of special cases. If that's true, then they are doing you a disservice; if a problem where it didn't apply ever came up, you wouldn't be able tp solve it.

  6. Re:Country-wide broadband? on Canada-Wide Wireless Broadband Network Planned · · Score: 1

    I would think S Ontario and SE Quebec would be where it's at... Toronto and Montreal are Canada's two largest cities.

  7. Re:What Are They Talking About? on The Law of Unintended Consequences: Patents · · Score: 1

    How can you come up with a new and innovative way to cure a genetic disability if the proteins and genes responsible for that disability are patented?

  8. Re:1985 on Is the iPod Generation Going Deaf? · · Score: 1

    They are't necessarily damaging themselves; they could have it set at a level the ears can tolerate.

  9. Re:Marketing Hype on Performance of 64-bit vs. 32-bit Windows Dual Core · · Score: 1

    If we increased the size of the cache to match this, wouldn't it compensate?

  10. Re:sedition on Singapore Bloggers Charged Under Sedition Act · · Score: 1

    No. They are two different crimes, sedition being the lesser of the two. Sedition is more along the lines of thought-crimes, while treason is actually going out and physically acting against the ruler.

  11. Re:Ellison on Oracle To Buy Siebel · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now the question is: Would Steve Ballmer, with his Executive Chair, beat the katana-wielding Larry Ellison?

  12. Perfect time to bust out that laptop! on Bulky System Requirements for Windows Vista · · Score: 5, Funny

    We should be able to run this on our new 6.8Ghz 2TB HD 1TB RAM laptops!

  13. Re:Sorry on First Results From Deep Impact Mission · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the snow in the middle of the ball compress , similar to how the pressure increases as one moves closer to the centre of the earth?

  14. Re:this is bullshit on More Students Prefer Interdisciplinary to CS · · Score: 1

    Nah. Everyone is satisfied with exponential time algorithms. :P

    Like, come on, the only way to do it in less than exponential time is to approximate, and who wants that!? /sarcasm

  15. Re:In other words on More Students Prefer Interdisciplinary to CS · · Score: 1

    You can do it in linear time. There is a linear-time algorithm to find the n'th largest element of an unsorted array. It's a basically a quick-sort. You choose the pivot to be the median of the medians of groups of five elements (or something like that), by calling the function recursively. It's really quite neat.

  16. Re:It depends where you go on More Students Prefer Interdisciplinary to CS · · Score: 1

    Waterloo?

  17. Re:True costs of piracy? on Blu-Ray to Include New Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    I think you forgot:
    #4: The I-don't-care: These are the people who don't pirate because they don't care for anything that could be pirated. This is usually due to the overall poor quality of content being distributed by the **AAs.

  18. Re:Fire from water? on Making Fire From Water · · Score: 1

    "Cats didn't like it to much though..." Hrm. Did you set him up the sodium block?

  19. Re:Fire from water? on Making Fire From Water · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but NaOH can be useful... Like, if those cats get fleas or something, just bathe them in your "firewater". :P

  20. Satire? on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 1

    Please say this is satire. I have trouble believing that my southern neighbours are *that* dumb.

  21. Re:We don't need as many computer scientists on The Changing Face of Computer Science · · Score: 1
    "FIRST() and FOLLOW() sets are cool! :)"

    Hahaha, oh LL(1) Parsing, how we all love you. :P
  22. Re:Personal experiance on The Changing Face of Computer Science · · Score: 1

    And that is why you don't go into computer science to get a job. You should go into computer science because you enjoy the theory, want to study it, and perhaps go on to advance it. This could be why people are no longer getting CS degrees; the public has realized that CS is more of a math degree than anything else.

  23. Re:The classes are shit too on The Changing Face of Computer Science · · Score: 1

    Where you took those classe might not be the representative of all schools that teach computer science. I find that the lectures at my school are usually interesting, with good profs, once you get past first year. And you can basically skip first year CS at here.

  24. Re:Won't somebody please think of the ATM machines on IBM Officially Kills OS/2 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, we all go to the slash slash slash dot dot. :P

  25. Re:Real Canadian Superstore? on Harry Potter's 'Half Blood Prince' Leaked · · Score: 1

    Perhaps. "Canadien" is the masculin version of "Canadian" in French. Maybe French is the submitter's first language and he just had a slip? Or maybe he meant it as a joke.
