  1. Re:Software engineer vs. computer programmer? on Study Says Software Engineers Have the Best US Jobs · · Score: 1

    Only diploma mills issue software engineering degrees? The University of Waterloo is hardly such: http://www.softeng.uwaterloo.ca/

  2. Re:Boring on Astronomers Invent "Galaxy Game" · · Score: 1

    I thought games were supposed to be fun. This just sounds like grunt work. Don't these researchers have grad students to do this kind of thing?

    Fun? That's so old-school. Now it's all about how many hoops you can make your player base jump through for achievement points.

  3. Re:For me, it's music, not place. on Where's Your Coding Happy Place? · · Score: 1

    Unintelligible vocals work as well as no vocals and open up a wider range of music, so I have extensive playlists in languages I don't speak (plenty to choose from!) for similar purposes. Not to mention that pop music improves drastically when the inane blather of the lyrics is transformed to nothing more than melody...

  4. Naming Requirements? on Ask CCP About EVE Online · · Score: 1

    We'll be talking with one of the following: Hilmar Veigar Petursson, Chief Executive Officer, Magnus Bergsson, Chief Marketing Officer, Nathan Richardsson, Senior Producer, Halldór Fannar Guðjónsson, Chief Technology Officer. One of these members of the top brass will be available to answer your questions.

    So... is the "-sson" an official requirement for an executive level position at CCP? Or were the "-dóttir"s just in short supply?
  5. Re:In other news cognitive dissonance found on Vonage Says VoIP Traffic Blocked By Providers · · Score: 1
    I proclaim that companies shall not use the letter V. Thank you.

    They need the V for camouflage. Even the most sheep-like consumer is going to be wary of a company called "ownage".

  6. Re:QUESTION #4: WHY SEX? on Digital Life and Evolution · · Score: 1

    With any degree of intelligence at all, the mate can decide that it's not worth mating after all, in advance, because he/she can see the writing on the wall.

    Unfortunately, this premise only holds until the organism in question discovers alcohol.
