Research Paper
« on: April 24, 2006, 12:03:54 pm »
Well, I have to do a research paper and I have no idea what I want to do.  I would like it to be dealing with a controversy computer related/tech related topic, but I don't know exactly what I want it to be.

Any suggestions?

Ooh, it has to be either Persuasive or Problem & Solution type research paper. -.-;

Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

Privacy?

Tragedy of the Commons as it relates to the Internet?

OpenSource versus ClosedSource?

The first two, I can give you a couple papers each to read, we talked about them in school.  The third one is just an ongoing debate.

The impact on regional stability of regime change?  I have a 64-page thesis manuscript you could review.... ;)

I really like the third idea.  I am looking into that one right now. :)

"How safe the Internet isn't for people who are clueless."



If I coud go back and rewrite my english 111 research paper I'd do it on something like "How equality based on gender is a scam", or something like that.   Of course I'd have to make it pretty clear that we both have the same basic human rights, but I'd point out mental/phsyical differences that should categorize men/women differently in regards to somethings (driving).
I'd mainly do this only to tick my instructor off, she was a leftist.  (She already accused me of trying to argue that point)

LINUS VS BILL..

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Linus isn't the worst, he doesn't seem as confrontational as others. 

Now somebody like Stallman, he seems like he'd be more into the fighting thing.

Hahaha, as long as Bill had it at his $100m house, he'd win.  The house would just shoot some laser at the other guy.

UMD wasn't a next-gen disc system though.  It's just a handy way for the PSP to rock.  And technically it won.  Do you see any other UMD formats around?  I think not.

To compete against what, itself?

There aren't any competitors to the PSP using discs.
