  2. Re:It wasn't misinformation... on RIAA CEO Hopes SOPA Protests Were a "One-Time Thing" · · Score: 1

    Yea they are claiming everyone was misinformed but when public wasn't informed properly on a bill and it was passed it end up being abused. Its something that might be applied to the DMCA, yea its a bill to allow rights holder to get their works removed from like Youtube etc. But allowed for almost 0 punishment when a company claims rights to something they don't own (ex, Twit.tv's show called TNT they had a clip of a Megaupload video, they are a new show which they fall under fail-use UMG had video pulled with a bogus copyright claim when they had no right to do it.) What bill is said to be meant for vs what bill is worded and CAN be used for are usually not told to the public cept when a lawyer from say EFF read it and say what it can be used for.

  3. Re:but really on AMD's Piledriver To Hit 4GHz+ With Resonant Clock Mesh · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The bulldozer and i7-2600k were about same performance wise but that is 8 core cpu vs 4 cores + HT. Powerusage of both machines at wall was like 250watts under load. When you overclocked both the bulldozer to 4.8ghz and i7 to 5ghz, i7 used 80 more watts, the bulldozer doubled its draw to over 500 watts, i think it was 550 watts.

  8. Re:This makes no sense on Selling Used MP3s Found Legal In America · · Score: 1

    They want MP3 to have a double standard, they are treated as material for 1 law but not when it comes to another law. Hate to say that is pretty dumb way to try to get things. But it figures only music industry and movie industries could come up with such a moron argument. I am glad judge didn't side with such non-sense, if its material under 1 law then its material on all law's.

  13. Re:I LOVE e85 on Is E85 Dead Now? · · Score: 1

    it may work in a race car but in normal every day cars it don't, example i will use "2011 Chevrolet Silverado C15 2WD 5.3 L, 8 cyl, Automatic 6-spd, Regular Gasoline or E85" it gets rated 21 MPG with gas, put e85 in it it only gets 16 MPG. that is 25% drop in mileage. Now look at how much E85 costs compared gas, on avg e85 is only 10% cheaper, some cases its up to 20%. so in end you are spending more to run E85. That is problem.

    They even used the DMCA removal tool on a streaming news program that uploads their videos to youtube when they had a clip of the video on their show and talked and Criticized it. Show in question is called TNT (Tech News Today). Its a week day program on Twit.tv. UMG claimed copyright in that video even though they used the clip under the fair use provision to discuss the story and comment. Clear violation of of the Fair Use Act that reads "Section (V) is similar to a broader version of the third prong of fair use and allows circumvention that enables access to public interest works for the purposes of "criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship, or research." Since they are a News program.
