    Ugh. They're called "HD 280" not "280-HD".

  8. Re:Ridiculous on Without Jobs, Will Open Source Suffer? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If anything, I usually write more open source code when I'm out of work. Even when you're putting a lot of effort into finding a job, when you're out of work, you have a lot of extra time on your hands.

    The beginning of knowledge is the statement, "I don't know." Calling yourself an atheist versus calling yourself an agnostic is to choose the statement, "I know that God doesn't exist." over the statement, "I don't know whether God exists or not."

    And yes, I have extensive training in both religion and science.

    Especially, if there is no real reason present necessitating doing otherwise.

    Necessity is the mother of invention. If the necessity didn't exist, no one would be thinking about the invention.

    Be wary of those who say, "Be wary of the non-agnostic scientist, they have an agenda." for they make sweeping generalizations.

    ...Same thing that happened in the 2000 bubble. And the 1991 bubble. And the 1929 bubble...

    Getting schematics and ROMs for my TV would actually be pretty easy. My microwave and laundry applicances are simple enough that the devices are self-documenting. I do have schematics and diagnostics/repair information for my car.
