  1. Re:Someone please explain on Second Life Hit By Massive In-Game Worm · · Score: 1

    So, does that mean that windows viruses and worms are not really viruses and worms? I mean, afterall, they REQUIRE Windows, which is software right? Think again...

  2. Flamebait? Certainly not! on A Master's In CS or a Master's In Game Programming? · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why this is flamebait? Does anyone?

  3. Re:easy on A Master's In CS or a Master's In Game Programming? · · Score: 1

    I'm actually going back to college specifically for math classes. I'd like to be able to work on Game Engines and need to understand all the math involved. How much math is appropriate? What would you suggest?

  4. Re:Filter on Deconstructing a Pump-and-Dump Spam Botnet · · Score: 1

    It would be pretty easy to allow them to receive only 1 of these emails a day. Sort of obvious.

  5. Vista? on Microsoft Pushing Municipal Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    What does WiFi have to do with Vista? It's not as if a Microsoft OS would be required to use WiFi in these locations. Your favorite Linux distro would do just fine. I'm not quite sure how Microsoft partnering to create Municipal WiFi is going to drive traffic to their search site though. Are people supposed to be so happy that they helped create it, that they decide to use MSN Search? Personally, I'd say "Thanks for the access!" And then promptly point my browser to google.

  6. Surprised? on Microsoft Pushing Municipal Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Why do you act like this is a surprise? This has been Microsoft's model since day one! Look at any Microsoft product. With almost all of them, somebody came out with a product, and they either bought it, or introduced their own version that directly competes with the original.

  7. Re:Safety on A $200-Million Floating Nuclear Plant? · · Score: 1

    I must be tired, but I seriously chuckled over the parents comments for several minutes. Startin' the day of right, AAAhhhh... :)

  8. Re:The computer did it? on Linux Chess Supercomputer Overpowers Grandmaster · · Score: 1

    Hmm... I still think that even with a general purpose AI the victory would still go to the programmer. Maybe it should go to the AI Trainer as well. SOMEone has to walk the AI through how to do basic things.

  9. Re:yeah on 7-Year Old Prequel Fan On ANH · · Score: 1

    Actually, those definitely DO count as Dark Force powers. Any power that directly diminishes the life of another is dark. Obviously Force Choke is not the only of the Dark Force powers that fall in that category.

  10. Impressive! on Google Punishes Self for Cloaking · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's pretty impressive actually... Rather than just saying they can do whatever they want since it's their stuff, they're sticking to, and enforcing, their own (external) policies. I think this shows integrity as a company.

  11. Re:I'll Add... on The Code Is The Design · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "The code is the comments." This actually only works when both the author as well as the maintainer(s) are good coders. Unfortunately in the real world, this usually isn't the case. I've read some really crap code with GoTos all over the place where the author didn't put comments in, and the names of the procedures were all similar to "DoWork". Therefore I try to promote the use of comments in our work, especially if anything gets complex or uses non-obvious APIs.

  12. Re:So thieves just... on A Pizza Box for Your Laptop · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure this isn't a Simpsons quote, but rather made up dialogue from Pinky and the Brain.
