  1. depends on Is It Worth Paying Extra For Fast SD Cards? · · Score: 1

    I bought an 8 GB Sony U-1 card for $12 USD retail. Rated at 94 MB/s. Writes at about 16 MB/s loading Raspberry Pi images vs 3-6 MB/s for Class 4, real world. It was worth the 4 dollar premium over other name brand flash considering i will be using it for a boot drive for R Pi.

  2. Full Encryption on Copyright Alert System To Launch Monday · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This will only speed up the race to fully encrypted comms.

  3. Re:Not the only reason to ignore multi-GPU setups. on New GPU Testing Methodology Puts Multi-GPU Solutions In Question · · Score: 1

    Agree 100%. Ill help someone build a multi-GPU system, but i wont run one at home unless its an experimental rig.

  4. Re:And people wonder why the US is going broke... on For Businesses, the College Degree Is the New High School Diploma · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because a college degree is out of reach for a huge swath of people. I had to wait until i was 26 to be able to afford college because my parents were worthless fucks. It took me that long to stabilize after their horrible parenting and I still had to have counseling to be able to go to class. Check your fucking privilege dude.

    All this tells me is that you will never have anything provocative enough to say to warrant scrutiny by Power. Also, i dont think the people who had their lives and livelihoods ruined by McCarthyism would agree that was a 'joke'.

    Richelieu and McCarthy. North Korea, China, Islam do i really need to go on? all of these things have used their power to squelch speech they dont like and punish those engaged in it.

    You do realize a single punch can AND HAS killed a man, right? Fighting is not a joke, if someone physically assaults me, i assume it is mortal combat, because it IS.

    I care because I know history.

    Be careful, avoiding limits like that (knowingly or unknowingly) is in some cases a crime itself.

  10. Re:Cash seizures on Illinois Politician Wants a Kill Switch For Anonymous Speech Online · · Score: 1

    That wont ever hold up in court. I know this because my friends came to bail me out once in cash and the cops decided to be funny and have the dog sniff it. I was IN the sally-port dressed and ready to go and the screw comes back "Sorry, dog sniffed drugs on the money and was confiscated, put your blues back on". The next time I appeared in court the judge immediately ordered the money returned.

    P.S. Buddies came back within an hour with a cashier's check.

    If you had paid any attention at all, you would see i was reflecting the OPs comment back at him. But 'UID hur hur hur' is a more compelling argument im sure.

  14. Re:Figure out where he is located on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Advanced Wi-Fi Leech? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    OK, how about hands around throat? Fights make deadly turns very fast. Someone punching me is enough for me to pull my weapon at the very least. I can say this because i dont instigate fights, ever, so if someone is engaging me physically, its serious. All fights are potentially mortal and i react accordingly. I also avoid trouble as much as I an, but once it gets physical, im thinking of ways to end the threat extremely quickly.

  15. Re:petitions don't write laws on White House Petition To Make Cell Phone Unlocking Legal Needs 11,000 Signatures · · Score: 2

    The TSA and marijuana petitions were legit and got non-answers. Death Star came after people were fed up with it and threw an absurd one at them, which of course the morons answer when they should have said nothing.

    IN the OP's example, yes. One person doing it with one or two phones, no.

  17. Re:Non removable battery, no memory card slot. on HTC Unveils Revamped HTC One · · Score: 1

    They are not 'going away'. They are purposefully being phased out to force people through cloud services. EVERY phone/pocket computer should have removable memory.

  18. Re:Gamers are not idiots ... on The End Is Near for GameStop · · Score: 1

    Games For Windows Live issues can be solved by simply making a LOCAL Live account. Once I realized that if I log into GFWL (which is free) on my PC and it kicked my wife off Netflix on the Xbox (Non-free Live), i was done paying for the privilege of being abused.

  19. Re:AKA Google drives Bitcoin Into Mainstream use on Google Looks To Cut Funds To Illegal Sites · · Score: 1

    What happened to Wikileaks? Getting funding cut is standard M.O. WHEN YOU PISS OFF A SOVEREIGN. It amazes me people get all bent out of shape because Visa choose not to do business with a pretty unsavory character.

  20. Re:AKA Google drives Bitcoin Into Mainstream use on Google Looks To Cut Funds To Illegal Sites · · Score: 1

    You are a fool if you dont know why Wikileaks funding was cut. When you give powerful people a black eye, all pretense of truth or justice gets swept away.

    I dont think it even occurred to him how many whiteboxes are out there, especially in small businesses. To him its probably 'brand name' or custom uber gaming rig only.

    And then judge specifically asks you if you have been coerced or promised anything and you say 'no, your honor' and everyone in the room winks at each other.

    When you are wielding life and death IN MY NAME you better get it fucking right. Unjust imprisonment is rape too. Perhaps we should throw some accusations at you and see what sticks, for the greater good, of course.

    Indeed. If I find out you have an MCSE incidentally, no big deal. If you TELL me you have an MCSE, i immediately think you are an incompetent until proven otherwise.
