Comment Stick With RPI (Score 1) 283

Your RPI medal will get you a half price discount at a great school and a degree that will easily unlock many doors just on the name alone.

RPI is where so many key technologies have originated (including Ethernet!) and that will continue to be true going forward. It's also a school that encourages undergraduate participation in such projects. You'll never regret the opportunity.

Submission + - cyberwar in Syria (ieee.org)

An anonymous reader writes: The Syrian police have cracked down on protesters in the streets, and pro-regime hackers are cracking down on protesters on Facebook. A hacker group calling itself the Syrian Electronic Army has been coordinating attacks via its own Facebook page, has instructed followers on how to carry out attacks, and told them which dissident groups to target. They claim to be civilian volunteers — and to be honest, their efforts do seem pretty amateur. It's interesting stuff, though.

Submission + - Honeycomb Has Hidden Gingerbread Interface (muktware.com)

mukt77 writes: Honeycomb users might wonder how will honeycomb look like on smartphones. Well, it appears that even if the code-base is same different devices will have different interfaces optimised for the screen size and devices. No one would want a smart-phone-targeted Gingerbread interface on Xoom.

If you have a rooted tablet you can change the LCD density from 160 to 170 and you will be greeted by the Gingerbread interface on your tablet.

Submission + - 'Glorious Mission,' Chinese Video Game Targets U.S (wired.com)

ShadowFoxx writes: Its graphics are on par with Call of Duty, but Glorious Mission has a whole different perspective than what even the most experienced gamer might be used to.

It targets U.S. troops.

That's right, developed by China’s Giant Network Technology Co. and backed by the People's Liberation Army (P.L.A.) this first-person shooter paints U.S. soldiers as the enemy, according to WIred.

You can only use your PS2 on PS Home and your XBox 360 on XBox Live. No one publicly complains there either.

And computer makers are exactly doing what you're saying. If you want a DISCOUNTED Acer Netbook, you have to use it on AT&T Data. If you want an HP DISCOUNTED Netbook, you have to use it on Verizon.
