    Hyperbole. Either show us facts or stop spreading FUD.

    I think you've watched a little too much Sopranos.

  3. Re:That's it. It's over. on AFL-CIO and Big Content Advocate For SOPA · · Score: 1

    I'm off to the store to buy a couple of boxes of DVDs and blurays and I'm going to start giving them away to people I know and ask them to pass more forward.

    Be sure to buy second hand only. New releases may be close to retail price, but the media companies get dick all from the purchase.

    No it wasn't. The original summary can be read by clicking on the link to the submission below the summary at the top of the page.

    the only difference I can see is some formatting and the words "... the author said." at the end of the summary.

  6. Re:Statistics Fail on $50,000 To Solve the Most Complicated Puzzle Ever · · Score: 1

    Uhhh... No. Someone who has a demonstrable skill in a specific area can be expected to excel in that area in the future. That's a statistical fact.

    Or do you expect him to start again from scratch, forgetting everything he learned the first time around? Proven solutions are just too easy, right?

    For N items, there are N! ways to arrange them. That doesn't make sorting an N! problem.

    Try one of these

    You can shred the documents, make some briquettes, and put them on the bonfire come Bonfire Night. Or, if you have a wood burning stove or hearth, you get free fuel.

  9. Re:John Carmack is a class act on Patent Issue Delays Doom 3 Source Code Release · · Score: 1

    I applaud Mr Carmack for the work he's doing with the source code for Doom 3. I wish all software developers were as generous.

    RoE was a piece of shit.

    Behold my ability to hold different opinions about different subjects! RoE wasn't even an id title, bub; It was published by id, but created by Nerve Software.

  13. Re:Same thing as violence against people in games on Mario's Raccoon Suit Enrages PETA · · Score: 1

    I'll wear fur. Dump me in the arctic naked and I'm clubbing seal cubs, you bet.

    I'm assuming you have the knife, thread, and needle required to make a basic suit. Depending on the time of year, you'll have between a day and 30 minutes max to make your seal-skin suit.

    In all honesty, if I was dropped off naked in the arctic with those things, I'd open up my femoral artery and get it over and done with ASAP. Freezing to death sounds pretty bad.

    You may scoff, but if this was about willies or bums, someone would have gone to jail. Serious stretches of logic aren't as uncommon as we'd all like.

    The naive optimist in me says "Good! They should be caught with their weasel words and held accountable!"

    The realist knows that these conversations will be "lost", or the driver will know to turn the camera off for an off-meter fair.

    One rule for us, one rule for them, remember?

  17. Re:This seems to show the government doesn't care on NYPD Dismantling Occupy Wall Street Encampment · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Soap, ballot, jury, ammo.

    The soap box has been rendered impotent by constant erosion of civil liberties. Time to organise a concerted effort into non-bipartisan voting.

    It's especially insulting that this action should be taken so soon after that one day per year when we collectively give thanks to those who gave their lives to protect those very freedoms we are losing.

    So... if this material is so slippery, how are they going to get it to stick to the surfaces they want to make more slippery?

    Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surface. I'm no expert on the subject, but I think it might be a liquid (which is slippery) that is infused into a surface which is porous.

    16 EUs. Woah. For comparison: nVidia and AMD's current cards have over 1500 of them.

    So this is like comparing a consumer-class lawnmower to a Bugatti Veyron, graphics-wise.

    Why would anyone with such a extreme setup ever care for such shitty integrated graphics? And whatÃ(TM)s the point of DirectX 11 support, if you can't use it anyway.

    Because you can power off the graphics card and still do 1080p HD video decoding, or play some lower-end games. That'll shave a good 300w off of your total power usage. Not to be scoffed at.

    They fully understand that. They're more interested in having their government openly opposed to personal liberty instead of clandestinely eroding freedoms under flimsy and transparently vacuous premises, and having a very comfortable life of reasonable luxury.

    This is why I'm not joining them, as enticing an idea as it is.
