  1. Hearing this story about Acer doesn't surprise me on Acer Recalls 22,000 Notebooks Due To Burn Hazard · · Score: 1

    The Acer Aspire laptop that I bought was advertised to come with Bluetooth capabilities. However, lo and behold, when I get it home, I come to find out that Acer did not ship a number of their North American laptops with Bluetooth despite advertising that did and even having the computer equipped with a switch as if you could turn it on. Overall, I'm just not pleased with the quality of computer that Acer offers. The '3' key fell off of my laptop a couple of months back, as did one of the clasps from me just opening and closing the thing.

  4. Re:I was scanned in LAX on Freshman Representative Opposes "TSA Porn" · · Score: 1

    " Humans are always going to be humans, " I agree with this completely. If this sort of policy is going to be implemented, a way should be found to allow it to be done completely by computers with a method of scanning to automatically detect threats.

  7. Developing World? on Finding IT Firms to Donate to Developing Countries? · · Score: 1

    IT related projects in the developing world While I recognize the importance of technology all over the world, couldn't a developing country benefit more from money directed at food and overall health projects rather than something IT related?

  9. My question is... on Psychopharm Going 'Mainstream' In Schools? · · Score: 1

    Why are the schools pushing material so boring that students need drugs to pay attention to it in the first place?

  10. Re:No thanks. on Does Philosophy Have a Role in Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    Pythagoras, one of the major early mathematicians, was also a great philosopher. He managed to combine the two to form a mix of mysticism and math.

  11. Give the Technology Earlier on Professor Bans Laptops from the Classroom · · Score: 1

    Most high schools don't allow the students to use laptop computers during class, even though students need to learn how to control themselves around the technology. If high schools were to allow laptop use, then students would not pay attention early in their education, fail high school classes, and know not to do so in college. Thus, the distraction factor,though not completely gone, would go down some for the students in college, which is much more important than high school.

  12. Rip It Energy Fuel on An Energy Drinks Roundup? · · Score: 1

    A little known energy drink that I love is Rip It. It's the size and strength of regular energy drinks, but only half the price: $0.99. It also has a decent taste. The official site is http://www.ripitenergy.com/

  14. Re:Correct speeling is for teh weak on On the Subject of Slashdot Article Formatting · · Score: 1

    It says you dont care about the readers.

    When I'm writing, I do care about my reader and attempt to correct errors. However, when I've read something so many times, I have a tendency to start automatically correcting my errors mentally. I can see why Slashdot posters might do the same thing.
