    WAHHHHHH!

    All government and police can stuff it in their pie holes. It is because of your over reach and out of control officers why I made sure everything is encrypted.

    How about you start putting NSA,FBI and LEO assholes in JAIL that violate the constitution as a good will gesture to the Citizens before you start whining about encryption.

    because ATI fanbois expect ATI to not suck some day.
    The one reason I stick with Nvidia, their drivers dont completely suck,

    Yep "migration" is as easy as blowing out the Linux OS and installing pfsense.

    In fact I am suprised that anyone would have rolled a linux router when pfsense has been around for a very long time and is a standard.

    Nope, because those experts are not as good as everyone makes them out to be.

    Their only advantage is they were rich and paid for college. They are not any smarter than a guy working for $12.00 in a foundry fixing a welder.

    And knowing the medical industry, you will be charged $5500 for the printing and $9100 for the "medical 3d modeling specialist" that stands there watching it print.

    And the 3D printer will have to be FDA approved and cost well over 22 million dollars.

  15. Dear Obama.... on Obama Unveils Plan To Bring About Faster Internet In the US · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You need to do 3 things.

    1 - Make "franchise agreements" in cities, towns and states ILLEGAL. Paying a kickback to the government to keep out competition and to just do business is wrong. time to smack the hands of all these scumbag politicians.

    2 - Government funded and OWNED fiber everywhere. Dont let AT&T own it or Comcast. It's all government ownd so that a company can come into town and set up shop as an ISP without having to spend millions to run fibers right next to all the other competition. Plus this allows you to force regulate ISP's from being dicks and only offering their service to the rich parts of town.

    3 - FORCE HONEST PRICING make Service Contracts ILLEGAL.. you can not find anywhere on comcasts website the real prices of internet, only their special sale prices that go up from 100 to 600% at a later date. No more of this bullshit, honest prices prominently displayed. no Contracts allowed in any way for any reason.

    Dropped an SSD in my 2011 quad i7 2.8ghz Macbook Pro, It is now as fast as the top of the line macbook pro you can buy right now. so I'll be not buying a new laptop for another 2-3 years.

    Even with heavy programming, 3d rendering, and video editing, I don't saturate 4 i7 cores, the bottleneck was the hard drive and now it 's not.

    Intel has not released ANYTHING that is worth upgrading to. I'm waiting for 8 core i7 processor with at least a 4ghz clock speed, bot nothing exists that is anything but a tiny fractional increase than the old one I'm running now.

    Also keep this in mind when saying "Conservative" when you mean "Fuck the Poor".
