    Oh snap!

  2. Re:I don't know but... on SLI On Life Support For the AMD Platform · · Score: 1

    So its not like its completely up to Nvidia to start improving their standing with AMD because of pressure from Intel.

    which, if it can be proven, would result in yet another anti-trust claim against intel.

    Actually no. The *only* difference between a religion and a cult is prominence/influence and/or state recognition as a 'religion'.

    so what about movie tickets? Books? Music? Are they going to add additional taxes on homeowners who's homes have decks/patios where they can go outside and just sit and relax all day? All of these things are sedentary entertainment. What makes them different from games and dvds?

  18. Re:Sounds very logic to me. on Two Black Hat Talks On Apple Security Cancelled · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The problem is not that they need permission. The problem is that they need permission from *marketing*. This should be the legal team's job. When you let marketing make these decisions, management (not the engineers, obviously) have effectively said "There are no flaws in our product and if you say there are then we're wrong and we all know we're never wrong."

  19. Re:Liberate the Spectrum. on HD Radio Recording In the US? · · Score: 1
    Your point was valid until your last sentence.

    Radio spectrum is a limited resource. There is only so much of it, and everybody has to share. It needs to be managed, just as you manage other things that are limited (time, money, space, etc.).

    Your argument that it must be managed undermines your attempt to make a point, as follows:

    Usable land is a limited resource. There is only so much of it, and everybody has to share. It needs to be managed, just as you manage other things that are limited (time, money, space, etc.).

    You can't say one's limited and needs to be managed when that very argument applies to a VAST number of things INCLUDING land as you used in your first sentence to illustrate your (non)point.

  23. Re:Let me guess... on IE 8 To Include New Security Tools · · Score: 1

    They lost any benefit of the doubt after 6, imo. They could have done all this with 7 like they promised but they didn't. They've had years to correct the issues with security but would rather add useless superficial 'security' measures than any real fixes.

  24. Re:Let me guess... on IE 8 To Include New Security Tools · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As bad as they've been about IE security in the past, they're actually trying this time.

    Because they say they are, right? They've said that it'll be more secure than before everytime they've done this and nothing really changes.

    They are a PRIVATE group. No they are not. They receive government money. They're no more private than a state funded university or college.
