  1. Re:Publicity whore for a "scientist" on Could Assortative Mating Explain Autism? · · Score: 1

    what is your take on the idea that vitamin D deficiency plays a part in autism spectrum disorders?
    I recently read a fairly convincing article on the subject, but don't know anyone smart enough to discuss it with.

    earthlink dial up was always as simple as opting out of their crappy software and creating the dun entry manually.
    Took me about 30 seconds to have it running on all 4 computers in my house back when win98 didn't have a SE.

    First few times though, that software screwed me all up.

    I disagree,

    take any person of reasonable intelligence and place them in an unfamiliar settting. They become retarded.
    The fact that they have been in front of that unfamiliar device for 20 years means they just don't care.

    Give me a user who cares to familiarize them-self with the system and 6 months, I'll give you a half decent sysadmin. At least better than half of the paper certified MCSE's I've had the pleasure to work with.

    on the other hand "I" don't give a rats ass about your data, I want to be sure that YOUR machine isn't compromised and/or infected and sending me spam. That's all I care about, YOU NOT SENDING ME SPAM.
    If you're smart enough to handle a computer that isn't an infected bot then all is well and good. If you're not, please either get off the net or use an appliance like this to limit the amount of damage you can do to me and my networks.

    I think this new netbook or whatever they're marketing it as will server a very under-fulfilled market. Will I buy one, probably not unless it's a gift to my parents. Do I think it's a good idea, yea I think I do.

    If you're single with no children you don't pay the fucking tax. There is no tax to pay if you're single with or without children.

    The benefit is to reduce the tax burden on married gay couples. There is no burden for single people or straight married couples.

    Single person == Contributions to health insurance are not taxed.
    Single Person w/Children == Contributions to health insurance are not taxed.
    Married Straight Couple == Contributions to health insurance are not taxed.

    Married/Cohabitating Gay Couple == Contributions to health insurance are taxed.
    Unmarried straight couple == Contributions to health insurance not taxed.

    Unmarried straight couples can... get married to avoid this tax. Gay couples can not.
    Before my wife and I were married she was on my insurance as a domestic partner and I did pay the tax.
    When we got married, I no longer had to pay the tax.

  11. Re:Well... on FCC's Net Neutrality Plan Blocks BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    I manage hundreds of networks all over the country and Bit Torrent absolutely negatively affects network performance like no other application or protocol.
      If I have 1 person at a property running a bit torrent client, I know for a fact that I'll have a dozen calls from other "legitimate" users of the network.

    If the protocol was written to be less of a bandwidth hog, it wouldn't have nearly the bad reputation it does. What we need is a better peer to peer protocol. Bit torrent is great if I'm at home, but if you use it on any of my networks I'm going to block your mac address and you don't get to play internet anymore. I don't care if the bits you're downloading are legit, hacked, copywritten or even a linux ISO. If it kills my network performance it is my obligation to get rid of it.

    Admittedly, the bar in the same building as a day care was a bit of a stretch, but the idea applies a lot better to web sites than it does brick and mortar buildings.
