  1. Advertising Targets on Ethics of Proxy Servers? · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind who your advertising targets are and your reputation. If you are connected with the pages, will you be ok with the public knowing the service you have been helping provide.

  2. Confirmation Dialogs on The 3 Billion Dollar Typo · · Score: 1

    Confirmation Dialogs don't need to get more complicated, they need to get a bit smarter. For instance Firefox's install confirmation dialog. It counts down a few seconds 2 or 3 before you can click to proceed. It's not long enough to create an issue, not annoying as typing, and it's just long enough to convince people to read the dialog because they have nothing better to do while it counts down. The submission was extremely poorly written.

  3. Your Options... on Tulane University to Reduce Engineering School · · Score: 1

    This depends heavily on your financial situaiton as well. If you have the money and don't intend to do graduate work, I would transfer. You will lose a lot of credits and maybe take another year to graduate, but you seem like you want to take some other classes anyway. The program may or may not continue to be supported. They may or may not spend the money needed to keep the program up as it dwindles ot non-existence as well. Finishing your degree with 3-year old technoology, books, and educaiton in 2007 would not be the optimal choice. If you don't have the money or intend to do graduate work, stay there and graduate on time. You'll save some dough economically, and you can put it towards graduate school. Employers that are looking for graduate work will be more interested in your final school of graduation. When looking for a graduate program, often not finishing at the same school is a normal and well-accepted choice. I don't think being willing to accept changing majors means you are necessarily not interested in CS, but I would take a few classes in other majors while you are there. Use some of your elective credits to explore your other areas of interested in the next few semesters while your time invested in CS is very little. This will afford you the opportunity to continue what you are doing or to change if you find another area is where you belong.
