  1. Re:Shocked and saddened on One Person Successfully Removed From US No-Fly List · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am a native american. My family came from Sicily, but I was born here, thus i am a native American. This land is as much mine as any Native American's

    "No papers? State to state?"

    "No papers."

    Its no different than an otter using a rock to smash a clam open.

    The 750 Ti running a 128 bit memory bus is pretty clear evidence they are holding back. If they were really concerned about pushing the market, it would have a wider memory bus.

  5. Re:Sync Licensing. on Are DVDs Inconvenient On Purpose? · · Score: 2

    And thus we expose why copyright is turning into a net loss for society. It simply is not in society's interest to allow the continued absolute control over venue. Copyright needs to find another mechanism besides controlling copying and distribution.

  6. Re:Ouya's killer app....where is it? on Ouya Dropping 'Free-to-Play' Requirement · · Score: 1

    If you are going to do that, go with an Intel Nuc DN2820. Much better use of money, imho.

    Because some humans have this stupid idea that we should fight 'fair' and not use the very things (tools) that make us the utter masters of this planet.

  8. Re:Redefine hunting. on Drone-Assisted Hunting To Be Illegal In Alaska · · Score: 1

    There is nothing shameful about humans using tools to hunt game. Its part of who we are. If guns were handed down from aliens, you would have a better point.

    First of all, if the State agreed with you, there wouldnt be bow season at all, which lasts longer than gun season.

    Who the fuck is interested in a 'fair fight'? There is no such thing as a 'fair fight' in nature. I am interested in putting food in my family's belly/surviving, not the sport of it. I might be able to physically match an 800lb bear, but i can use tools. On long timelines, a bear is no match for even the weakest humans because of this. We are monsters.

  11. Re:Bans Drones not Guns. on Drone-Assisted Hunting To Be Illegal In Alaska · · Score: 1

    Their effectiveness is mostly irrelevant when we impose limits on how much they can kill. Drones dont change that.

  12. Re: Maybe there's also another reason? on Final Fantasy XIV Failed Due To Overly Detailed Flowerpots · · Score: 1

    Only because computers are linked to porn so heavily in Japan.

    More like WoW is a theme park based on the Warcraft universe.

    Modern motherboards (even cheap ones) can access the filesystem in BIOS.

  16. Re:To be fair... on $30K Worth of Multimeters Must Be Destroyed Because They're Yellow · · Score: 1

    The point is we shouldnt be assigning ownership of colors to any one entity. Color itself should not be a trade dress consideration.

    I REALLY dont want my government wasting resource on this shit. As long as the device doesnt say 'fluke' on it, all other claims should be ignored.

    Bullshit. It can be easily argued that in the modern era, ignorance of the law MUST be allowed as a valid defense. There are too many laws for any one person to know, ergo ignorance of the law is a viable defense.

  19. Re: Where's the data stored? on Microsoft Releases Free Edition of OneNote · · Score: 1

    I just looked at the OSX version. There is no way to 'save as....', only sync. Command S (save shortcut on OSX) is mapped to sync in the file dialog.

  20. Re:Where's the data stored? on Microsoft Releases Free Edition of OneNote · · Score: 2

    Its a standalone program just like Word, with cloud hooks. You dont have to save to the cloud, you can save locally.

    THe browser thing was done so that MS could be punished SOMEHOW. Its like everyone forgets how much shit MS got away with. I fucking hate the derision pointed at the EU for actually punishing MS.

    Perhaps if the bible didn't try to anthropomorphize the universe there wouldnt be such a big emotional fuss over it.

    Speed of light is the fastest the universe allows information to propagate. Gravitational waves cannot move faster than light can because its not light that is the limit, but the UNIVERSE. Light doesnt go faster because the universe limits it.

    NO because the Xbox has a dedicated audio DSP and 8 cores.
