  1. Follow the money on Intellectual Property Issues In College? · · Score: 1

    Personally, I think you should be responsible to whoever pays your salary. If you're paying your own way through grad school I think it should be your code to do with as you please, and I doubt the University would have any legal rights to say otherwise.

    If, however, the University is paying for your education, either directly, or through grants to your advisor, you have some obligation to abide by their rules. After all, that's how it works out here in the "Real World".

  2. Qwest & ADSL on On the Reliability of DSL Providers... · · Score: 1

    After a LONG wait Qwest finally started providing ADSL in my area. The state had a long-running battle with US Worst about providing DSL, but it seems that when Qwest took over this all went away. One good thing in favor of Qwest.

    As to the DSL service, it's been great! I ordered the "self-install" option so they sent me all the hardware (in about 3 business days) and I was up and running the weekend after I got the hardware.
    The only bad thing was my ISP has yet to send me any info on how to connect. Fortunately I took a lucky guess and everything's been working fine for about a month now.

  3. Re:cscope vs etags on SCO Makes Open Source Contributions · · Score: 1

    Best place to start looking for things like this is ftpsearch. Doing that, it looks like SCO themselves are now providing it. You can get cscope.el directly from them via ftp.

  4. Re:cscope vs etags on SCO Makes Open Source Contributions · · Score: 1

    Yes, I too use cscope quite heavily at work. Interesting where it ended up. I'm pretty sure it used to be a AT&T product. In fact I believe we bought a license for a few hundred bucks from AT&T and that included source code. As to Emacs integration...There is cscope.el. Maybe not quite as tight as etags but I find it very useful. Gary

  5. After much flame on Creative to build Linux 3D drivers · · Score: 1

    I guess I'm not the only one to realize that 90% of email like he sent gets flushed to /dev/null. If people really want to make a difference they need to sit down with a pen and piece of paper and WRITE the companies!! You wouldn't believe how much more effect that has. email is too easy and NEVER gets seen by anyone that makes decisions in a company as large as Creative.
