  1. Re:Group Projects on Cooperation in CS Education? · · Score: 1

    You could monitor participation and encourage learning from others by using CVS or some other revision control tool. It encourages you to comment changes and cooperate usefully. It can quickly tell you who the slouches are too. Revision control is a real-world subject, and gives students practical experience that can be applied to every other piece of code they'll ever touch.

  2. slow but inevitable cable/dsl takeover? on The Extinction Of The Mom & Pop ISP Service? · · Score: 1

    Even with AOL-TW-Netscape-MS promising to sell ISP's access to their cable, how long will it be before the local ISP's are rendered irrelavent? This doesn't seem as big a problem in metro areas as it is in the boonies. It looks like a big re-shuffle is going to take place in the whole business...

  3. charging rate pay rate on Working Internationally--What Should It Pay? · · Score: 1

    You're comparing your company's rate that they charge customers to his potential pay rate. The charging rate is almost always going to be higher than the pay rate, so you may be comparing apples and oranges...

  4. Re:XP on Making Software Suck Less · · Score: 1

    Our version of XP is to have 2 or more people sit around a screen looking for the bug/fault. *and* we are six-sigma compliant...

  5. flip a coin on Slashback: Election, Election, Election · · Score: 1

    It's so close, you might as well. the democrats seem to like head(s), so republicans get tails...

  6. engine vs. content && open driver code on Indrema's John Gildred Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Of course, we want developers to be able to profit from the games they design for Indrema, so the software will not be Open Source.

    So a game developer can't profit from an Open Source game? Look at what id Software has done: open the engine but sell the product bundled with great grafx/sound/etc. If you seperate the engine from the content, it's still possible to profit from them.

    ...
    All driver level code, API implementations, and kernel code is Open Source and freely available. The only exceptions to this are the components of drivers

    What's the difference between "driver level code" and "components of drivers"???

  7. Re:The GPL should be able to handle this... on Sun Finds & Exploits Hole in the GPL *Update* · · Score: 1
    This tool simply ports linux driver code to Solaris x86 code. If Sun just released the ported code there wouldn't be a problem with the GPL. The problem is the that they're releasing modified versions of GPL'd code in binary format only.

    Sun doesn't want to release the ported code because that would effectively "free" portions of their code. This tool has great potential, esp. since Solaris x86 has *really* crappy device support so far...

    if linuxgram.com didn't mix editorial crap so heavily with the story content, it would be much easier to understand...
