  1. Re:look at the Guardian photo on NSA Recruitment Drive Goes Horribly Wrong · · Score: 1

    You seem to think I'm excusing Obama of anything. I'm not nor did I vote for him either time. The reality is that saying he has "full responsibility" for something that was being defended by Dubya supporters, the same ones now bitching, prior to 2008 smacks of partisan bullshit.

    Why must either be worse? So you can fist bump over one side being the "best" of two shitbags?

  3. Re:look at the Guardian photo on NSA Recruitment Drive Goes Horribly Wrong · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Not only is Obama fully responsible for the current NSA actions and keeping them secret, he lied during his campaign when he promised to end such abuses.

    Obama is "fully responsible" for a program Dubya put in place? Partisan much?

    Using the AGPL is being "greedy"? Isn't that the very license the FSF recommends for software run over a network? MongoDB is also AGPL and there was none of this drama directed at 10gen over it.

    LOL hypocritical freetards.

    Except this guy isn't doing what you claim. He isn't trademarking the Old English "thorn" as in a symbol representing "Th". He is using the symbol for the entire word "the". So it is actually him using something that existed but in a new way.

  8. Re:Empirical results differ on Landing On an Asteroid Might Cause an Avalanche · · Score: 1

    Are either Eros or Itokawa tiny asteroids made up almost entirely of granular materials (which was the parameters of this paper)? Otherwise you didn't really refute them.

    Murdoch said many smaller asteroids are thought to be entirely granular in nature -- piles of rock and gravel held together by gravity. Understanding the physics of granular materials is important for interpreting spacecraft images of these small bodies, to understand their evolution, and also to help design space missions that will interact with their granular surfaces.

    Fad technology once again comes and then leaves just as fast. In 30 years someone else will rediscover 3D and the fad will start again.

  11. Re:Whisky not Whiskey on Iain M. Banks Gets Asteroid Named After Him · · Score: 1

    Strangely, the quoted text was apparently not cut-and-pasted, since both the linked article and the IAU page correctly use the word whisky. The incorrect whiskey only appears here.

    It was also correct in the submission text. Soulskill edited it when posting. Once again displaying how incompetent the staff is.

    And the term "Subway" existed before the restaurant chain yet they have a trademark. You don't seem to actually understand how trademark law works.

    Intel makes more margins making chips for themselves and they already run near max capacity. They gain nothing from being a third-party foundry.

    Nope. Intel makes more margins on chips made for themselves than third-party fabs do.

    Doubtful. Intel makes way more margins on their chips than third party fabs do when making chips for others. They'd only end up making less money.

  20. Poor premise on Opinion: Apple Should Have Gone With Intel Instead of TSMC · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sounds like a silly premise. Who says Intel would even want to do it? Why would Intel want to go back into ARM fabrication when they are trying to beat ARM chips with Atom?

    Considering that security audits are actually quite a rarity it's not beyond reason to think that flaws and bugs can be introduced and go unnoticed. Just because in theory people can comb over OSS code doesn't mean that it actually happens with any regularity.
