  1. Identity Crisis? on MIT Project "Gaydar" Shakes Privacy Assumptions · · Score: 1

    So people who are unsure about their own sexuality can just ask MIT and they'll be able to tell them? "Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself"

  2. Re:Sounds like an idiotic idea on Bill Ready To Ban ISP Caps In the US · · Score: 1

    Well, in theory, if a company advertised 'Unlimited Bandwidth - X Megabit/s down' it would be a contradiction. Even if you were getting the advertised max throughput the entire month you wouldn't get much further than 2616*X Gigabits downloaded, making that the effective cap.

  3. Re:Good News on Documenting a Network? · · Score: 1

    Non Sequitor, I fail to see the relevance of love, pain, and pleasure on the attention span of the average sysadmin.

  4. I kinda really wanted to play this on Square Enix Shuts Down Fan-Made Chrono Trigger Sequel · · Score: 1

    I had been aware of this production for 3 or 4 years now, and while it wouldn't have been another Chrono Trigger I really would've enjoyed playing it. I had always thought this kind of derivative work would be covered by fair use. I guess it doesn't really matter since the Chrono Compendium probably couldn't afford to fight Square on it if they were in the right. For those of you interested there is a longish thread over on ROM Hacks covering this, I only mention it because Compendium admins seem to be dropping in there: http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,8582.0.html

  5. Re:Shame on Trick Used To Pass French "Three Strikes" · · Score: 1

    When you and your drunk friends MST3k it.

  6. Keanu Reeves on Keanu Reeves To Star In Cowboy Bebop · · Score: 1

    I can see it now: "I know Jeet Kune Do."

  7. Kung Fu on Ubuntu Kung Fu · · Score: 1

    Say it! My Kung Fu is best.

  8. Re:Finally! on Diablo 3 Developer Explains Health and Potion Changes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Everyone knows you don't carry 14 different massive hammers at once, you carry 12 massive hammers and a magic box with 2 massive hammers inside it

  9. Re:Do it on Blizzard Tries To Forbid Open Sourcing Glider · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think it's more like a court telling a thief that he can't publish a book on how to pick locks, even though he might have been using his 'knowledge' to commit illegal acts, it could be usefull learning material for a locksmith doing something completely legal.

  10. Re:It is not blanket immunity on House Votes For Telco Immunity; Obama Will Support? · · Score: 1

    Caved? Perhaps, or maybe they and the Republicans are to busy helping each other stay in power to stop each other from screwing the people, and the MSM doesn't care.

  11. Re:Hope and Change on House Votes For Telco Immunity; Obama Will Support? · · Score: 2, Funny

    A terrorist attack to stop politicians from fear mongering over terrorist attacks? how novel!

  12. Re:Good, maybe REAL artists will now have a chance on Radio May Have To Pay To Play · · Score: 1

    It's a scientifically proven fact that the worth of a band is inversely proportional to the number of records they've sold. Allright! Divide by zero makes me priceless! And Divide by Zero could be a good band name...
  13. Re:Better Living Through Benjamins on Wikipedia 2.0, Now With Trust? · · Score: 1

    What if wikipedia adapted a slashdot posting type system? Every edit gets a point, deleted or reverted edits minus a point, you can use points to rate other posters edits and when you have a high rated edit you get a micro payment.

  14. Not quite what I'm looking for... on Overclocking the Super Nintendo · · Score: 1

    It's great and all he was able to do this, but should'nt we be working on something more crucial, like getting those god-awful slowdowns out of the PS1 port of Chrono Trigger?

  15. Re:Actually, I'm in high school (too)... on Do Kids Still Program? · · Score: 1
    Actually we have a fairly good distribution of kids in programming classes at my school. Intro to Computer Sciences - Visual Basic, roughly 50 kids Computer Topics - Scheme/Java, Object Oriented, Recursion, roughly 20 kids Advanced Placement Computer Science(AB) - Java, 8 kids
    From CollegeBoard.com:
    Computer Science AB includes all the topics of Computer Science A, as well as a more formal and a more in-depth study of algorithms, data structures, and data abstraction. For example, binary trees are studied in Computer Science AB but not in Computer Science A. The use of recursive data structures and dynamically allocated structures is fundamental to Computer Science AB.
    The programming classes at my high school are some of the most important classes that I've taken. I think I've really come away from them with a lot, So I feel that programming in high schools, where I am at least, is doing fairly well.
