  1. Re:Hardware Locking on Malwarebytes Offers Pirates Its Premium Antimalware Product For Free · · Score: 1

    I can read it just fine - but it does appear to be designed for much lower DPI screens (1024x768 @ 17"). So the design is probably over a decade old.

    Do you know how zoom works?

    There's no such thing as an interface where you can type commands? There are two available (Command Prompt and Powershell). Whether they are any good or not doesn't change their name.

    it could be easily rewritten to refer to people who are or were recently pregnant

    That is still very gender-biased. Single fathers deserve equal protection for the parts that don't involve pregnancy - if any even do.

    The Bible itself doesn't really condone slavery, it just tells slaves how to be faithful. The mere existence of slavery in the day doesn't mean support. Not going to get into the rest right now.

    There are a lot of other laws and programs that are still gender separated, such as WIC. It'll be interesting to see if any more are challenged on the same basis.

  6. Re:Very Disturbing Trend on Supreme Court Ruling Supports Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    Also, when the 14th Amendment was passed in 1868, homosexual behavior was a felony in every state in the union. So I am guessing you are going to sit there and tell me that they wrote this amendment they were going to allow same sex marriage - then throw them in prison after saying "I do" ?

    Well, you'd have to wait a little longer than that. A chaste marriage would still have been legal in that scenario.

  7. Re:Very Disturbing Trend on Supreme Court Ruling Supports Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    The 14th amendment says that the law has to treat both genders (or really all people) equally, and that as it's written it would be a violation for even a state's law to discriminate between male/female in a marriage.

    So no matter which side you're on, that's how it's written. It would require a constitutional amendment to enable the laws the states thought they had.

    Yes. Desperation has caused these new couplings in a Jurassic Park "Life finds a way" scenario. If the women have already given a pass on them, this is the last great hope.

    Isn't that exactly how women gained the right to vote? It wasn't the immediate interpretation of the amendment, but that's what the eventual ruling was based on.

  11. Re:Why should the government write these contracts on Supreme Court Ruling Supports Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you can sign up for the "dependency" package of contract rights only when you can prove it -- thus a four-some of polyamorists only get tax benefits if they can prove dependency according to the laws we already have. If you want to sign up for the "procreation" package, then all the marital rights involving children apply. We can have the "cohabitation package" and the "estate-planning" package, etc.

    You can still mitigate brute-forcing by putting a waiting period between attempts. And a PIN with only 10,000 combinations absolutely needs protection. So if they left it unprotected, they should fix it.

    Newest studies show cholesterol is influenced more by carbohydrate intake rather than saturated fat intake. Eggs have dietary cholesterol, which has been proven for a while not to influence cholesterol levels to any real degree at all.

    That would be discriminating against a disability. Depending on who you ask, that disability would either be a psychosomatic/mental disorder or a real illness - but both are probably protected under the ADA.

    CFL's do have electronic ballasts with a much higher frequency than the 60Hz of the standard ballast on tube fluorescent lights.

    That wouldn't be EM sensitivity. It would be from actually seeing the flicker (or not actually seeing it - it may be sub-perceptual and still cause headaches. Yes, I made up sub-perceptual because I don't know the right words).

    Your replies are getting even more disjointed. I can't even read this one. This is when you will get the last word - because you're making so little sense there is literally nothing left to reply to.

    I'm not saying this as an attack on intelligence, because it's not. It's just that people with schizophrenia tend to see connections between ideas that other people do not. And it makes communication quite difficult.
