  1. Re:I would expect most brand-name ones would on Home Router For High-Speed Connection? · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't configure any 800-series Cisco device through web configuration if you were using it for its intended tasks. The web configuration, particularly on the older models, is an afterthought.

    There are also vast differences between 800-series routers, so saying that an "8xx" performs to a certain standard is somewhat misleading. While an 801 will do 1,000pps (.51Mbps at 64 byte packets) pure throughput doing nothing but forwarding, an 891 will do 100,000 pps (51.2Mbps at 64 byte packets) with the same configuration.

    It absolutely /is/ racism. It's /the/ definition of racism. Regardless of whether or not you consider it human nature.

  3. Re:As a nonsmoking apple fan on Apple Voiding Smokers' Warranties? · · Score: 1

    Oh I see the correlation you're trying aiming for, and it's completely pointless and irrelevant. Comparing the influence on warranty of damage caused or residue left by smoking near electronic equipment to that of storing arbitrary bits on a storage medium in accordance with the operational purpose of the medium is somewhat like saying

    "Well, if the airlines are keeping a sick person from flying, then what's next? refusing service if you "( legally )" carry an indecent photograph in your baggage?"

    Don't presume to know what I do and do not understand. It serves no purpose other than to reflect negatively on yourself.

    Yes, because /that/ is hugely relevant and entirely comparable. Jesus.

  5. Re:And why are websites still keeping this info? on Justice Dept. Asked For Broad Swath of IndyMedia's Visitor Records · · Score: 1

    The part that is eroding your rights is that a *government agency* is trying to bully people into forfeiting their rights. That the *DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE* is informing citizens that they aren't allowed to exercise their rights. Regardless of whether or not they're right, and whether or not it would hold up in court, when the government deliberately attempts to redefine your rights to its liking, your rights are being eroded.

  7. Re:Great on Visually Impaired Gamer Sues Sony · · Score: 1

    Typical video games are sensory experiences requiring the interpretation of much of the same input, particularly the visible, as operating a motor vehicle does. People have to accept that being disabled does not entitle them to have products relying fundamentally on the senses of which they're deprived modified to suit their disabilities.

    Yes, you're blind, and it sucks. This does not give you carte blanche to make the world revolve around you through litigation.

    I find it difficult to really blame them for this. What an obscure bug. How do you QA yourself out of something like that without spending more than you did on your R&D?

    One could argue that by cutting your framerate in half, your TV is only pumping out half the amount of image data that it otherwise would at a given resolution, effectively halving the "usable image."

  15. Re:So who was it ?? on Most Expensive JavaScript Ever? · · Score: 1

    Comparing GDP is a perfectly acceptable way of comparing economies on a very, very broad scale. The presence of oil in Norway does not make their economy ineligible for comparison. It serves to their benefit just as many other things serve to the benefit of the US.

    Heh.

    Norwegian GDP (PPP) per capita: $55,200 (2008 est.)

    US GDP (PPP) per capita: $47,000 (2008 est.)

    There's much more to an economy than net output.

    I honestly think that the number of people who would be "pissed off" by disallowing sexual harassment on XBox Live is dwarfed by the number of people who would be "pissed off" if they saw it happening. People also know that sexual harassment is bad.
