  1. Theory is more important on For CS Majors, How Important Is the "Where?" · · Score: 1

    Any monkey can code, but can you code with everyone's best interests in mind? Can you visualize the bigger picture?

  2. Re:Wikipedia and research papers. on Wikipedia Breeds Unwitting Trust (Says IT Professor) · · Score: 1

    I would trust Wikipedia to be more in-depth and less biased than most k-12 school text books. Most teachers I know (I work in a highschool) teach kids that Wikipedia is good for a source, but not as a research database.

  3. Re:Cool on Apple May Be Re-Entering the Sub-Notebook Market · · Score: 1

    It's the reason I asked work to buy me a black MacBook instead of a MacBook Pro they wanted to get me. Size and weight matter. And .33mhz doesn't really matter that much. As long as they don't slump on the processor too much and give it at least a 800 pixel wide screen.

  4. Re:Zelda on Why Computer RPGs Waste Your Time · · Score: 1

    I'm starting to enjoy the idea of games like Fable and Crackdown. You level up characters, but in ways you choose. If I just want a dark character, I do bad things. If I just want a character that throws people 200 yards and can't run fast or shoot well, then I just beat up people and never fire a gun. I think it should be more about personalizing the experience than just progressing through the game and making it "open" up.
