  1. Re:Ubuntu Live CD on Ask Slashdot: Easiest Linux Distro For a Newbie · · Score: 1

    An Ubuntu Live CD is the answer. You can boot it up on any x86 system and use it to your heart's content. you won't be able to save anything, unless you mount your local drive and save there, or pop in a USB stick.

    Yes, I would agree, run Ubuntu off the CD.

  2. Re:Well obviously on How Video Games Reflect Ideology · · Score: 1

    Hopefully you weren't being sarcastic. GTA IV also has a few parodies of conservative talk radio that I noticed pretty quickly. When you "switch cars" often, you'll tend to hear it.

  3. Re:From My Simpleton Point of View on Why Developers Get Fired · · Score: 1

    "I know we're all geeks and we hate actually talking to people", LOL!

  4. Masters and Work...Do Both! on Go For a Masters, Or Not? · · Score: 1

    If you are young and don't have a family, I would recommend trying to work and get a master's degree at the same time, especially if you can find a job that will pay you educational benefits. If you study a field you like, it won't be so rough. It's certainly not easy, but you can stretch out a master's degree over 2-3 years. Most semesters I took one class at a time, but occasionally I took two.

  5. Re:It's shareware all over again. on We're Just Not That Into You, iPhone Apps · · Score: 5, Funny

    I never bought anything legally except for Sid Meier's Pirates.

    Ah the irony. ;)

    Don't you mean, "Arrrrr, the irony?"

  6. Re:The visual effects industry on Interesting Computer Science Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Shader Writer? Sounds kind of SHADY to me...

  7. Time to unplug on Gadgets You Backpack Around the World With? · · Score: 1

    You'll enjoy the experience more without the technology. Especially if you're traveling alone, you'll start to see the devices as your companions, and miss out on a lot while you're plugging away. Definitely bring a digital camera, and take advantage of Internet cafes.

  8. AndroMDA anyone? on Pros and Cons of MDA Code Generators? · · Score: 2, Informative

    AndroMDA could be worth a look. Works with Poseidon and some expensive UML tools. You'd better be up on your UML if you want to do some MDA. One of the best code generation strategies I've worked with was using XDoclet tags to generate mappings and Hibernate's schema export to take those mappings and generate DDL.
