  1. alternative on Is Computer Programming a Good Job for Retirees? · · Score: 1

    You could always devote your time to programming open source software. Maybe get involved with sourceforge, or helping with bug patches, rather then programming for a company.

  2. and so on Viacom Demands YouTube Remove Videos · · Score: 1

    Google finally begins to question the decision to buy youtube.

    Actually, is this problem even a concern to google? Wouldn't it be the responsibility of Viacom to contact the users who are uploading Viacom videos?

  3. Re:wow on Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess Review · · Score: 1

    True. But also controls can make a difference between an intuitive game and a terrible game.

  4. Re:wow on Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess Review · · Score: 1

    Yeah, my decision also relies on the reviews of the gamecube version. But I have a feeling that it's not going to be as good as the wii version.

  5. software is software on RIAA Victims Bring Class Action Against Kazaa · · Score: 1

    Software by nature is neither good software nor evil software (exception being M$ products). It is what you do with that software that makes it good or bad. There is no way they will win a case against Kazaa.

  6. wow on Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess Review · · Score: 1

    I have always been a huge Zelda fan, but I wasn't sure if I could justify purchasing the wii just for twilight princess. Now I'll have to rethink that decision.

  7. too little too late? on Yahoo Shakes Things Up · · Score: 1

    Can Yahoo really catch up with Google? Perhaps they waited too long to do this. Right now they need to do their own thing and try to do something that Google isn't.

  8. problem on Bjarne Stroustrup on the Problems With Programming · · Score: 1

    The main problem with programming is caused by the lack of education. A lot of schools are spending more time teaching a programming language (usually a higher level language like python or java) rather then teaching concepts of computer science. Of course the kid who has only programmed in java is gonna find concepts like pointers and such more difficult, making C++ seem much more difficult.

  9. Re:Addicted to Warcrack? on Diary of a WoW Noob's Addiction · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i know some people who would suck dick for better gear in wow

  10. Very Useful on What Live CDs Do You Carry Around? · · Score: 1

    A very useful live-cd to carry around is knoppix-std because it contains a good collection of tools you never know when you will need. An even more useful live cd is the Gparted live disk. It contains just the bare minimum (an older version I had contained a shell, a text editor and gparted), but can be perfect for fixing a lot of different problems. Also, it never hurts to keep a dvd of an install disk, especially one like ubuntu 6.06 because the installer actually runs off the live disk, so it gives your full desktop environment.

  11. obvious. . . on What's the Problem With US High Schools? · · Score: 1

    I was so happy when I got out of highschool, mainly because the teachers there didn't want to teach, and the students didn't want to learn because they realized the teachers didn't want to teach. That and the fact that most of highschool is spent "reviewing". You learn one thing in a class, then it is beaten to death, then next year your teacher takes half the year reviewing that thing you learned last year, and then near the end rushes another thing for you to learn.

  12. cool on PS3 Linux Now Installable · · Score: 1

    Its really cool that Sony is recognizing that people want to have a full OS on their gaming console, unlike M$ who locked their console down to prevent people from doing just that. This also allows people to justify spending more money for the ps3, as it can be used as a computer/gaming console.

  13. Re:Samba on Ballmer Says Linux "Infringes Our Intellectual Property" · · Score: 1
    Next thing you know Microsoft execs will be brutalizing school kids for their lunch money.
    I believe it is called Microsoft Office.
  14. just wait on Astronauts Throw Trash Into Space · · Score: 1

    Just wait til they have commercials featuring a crying Native American in a spacesuit urging people not to liter in space.

  15. obvious mentality . . . on Microsoft Interested In More Linux Deals · · Score: 0, Redundant

    obvious M$ mentality. . .why destroy only one when you can destroy all of them?

  16. meetings on Technologies To Improve Group-Written Code? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you need to hold more meetings to get everyone on the same page. You should make it so that at the meeting, each person gets a few minutes to talk about what they have done in the past week or time period since the last meeting and get to talk about what they will be working on during the next week. Also, use the first meeting to lay down some guidelines and talk of implementing some source control.

  17. GNU on Sun To Choose GPL For Open-Sourcing Java · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This means that Java would be able to be included in linux distos by default, rather then requiring the user to set them up.

  18. Re:M$ on Microsoft/Novell Deal Could Create Two-Tier Linux Market · · Score: 1

    Actually, that is a good question. M$ might just weaken them till they are no longer a threat, then let them fall on their face, or they might make Novell a part of the M$ family. Either way, bad for Novell.

  19. M$ on Microsoft/Novell Deal Could Create Two-Tier Linux Market · · Score: 1

    A deal with M$ is the kiss of death for any Linux distribution. Does Novell not realize that M$ is going to make a deal with them so M$ can destroy them?

  20. How long on Microsoft Banning 360 Firmware Modders? · · Score: 1

    How long till they make WGA for xbox to check the validity of your games?

  21. Re:wow on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    Because someone needs to stay at home and defend the country from people like you.

  22. Re:wow on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    How can one constructivly add to a debate that is so strongly biased that any comment expressing discource is modded into oblivion?

  23. Re:wow on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    According to you, the country doesn't need protection from terrorism. Tell that to the families of the victims of 9/11. Tell that to the victims in the UK, Spain and hundreds of other countries that are terrorized by terrorism.

  24. Re:wow on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    haha. that is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard. Both parties supported the war, there is no denying that. The Democrats are just as guilty as the Republicans. Vietnam != Iraq. To think so just shows how truly ignorant and blind you are.

  25. Re:wow on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    for what? Being a good leader? Being a strong leader? I would love to see you do better. He is protecting your ass and thats the thanks you give him. If you don't like things, either 1) do something 2) move to Canada.
