    5400rpm's no doubt not only soldered in place... but there's evidence that it's booby-trapped with explosives that'll take your fingers off, and there are rumors of a hidden glass capsule with "gay pheromones" in it that, when broken, will cause you to become part of Tim Cook's" zombie" (after a fashion) army.

  4. Exactly. I find it rather unlikely that these were messed with over RF...

    The odds that these were "backed" locally over RF seem long... far more likely that the system is controlled by a PC... which was connected to the internet.

  11. Indeed... but I'm not sure who I'd punish worse: the contracting corporation that sold the [hackable] alert system, the mouthbreathing bureaucrat who. approved the purchase... or the scumbag who "revealed" the problem.

    It's really not, when one nation is way ahead of the others, the others won't try anything serious, thus peace is maintained.

    You're either a shill or a drooling moron; you've described a scenario in which the exact opposite would occur.

    Things can't be entirely one-sided or you leave your enemy with nothing to lose. That's bad; ask Israel.

    If you'd in fact been following nVidia driver evolution in Unix/Linux for the past twenty-plus years, you'd realize that it takes more points of data than you've got and far more analysis rhan you've performed before you can reach any conclusion, much less the one you did.

    Nvidia - along with their bullshit binary blob - is the standard on Posix-compliant OS's, even if AMD does sound better on paper.

    For what it's worth, I've been pretty impressed with Radeons after years of driver improvements... but if I was going to take my chances with a new GPU architecture - on any OS - I know from experience to go with nV.

    No; twenty year old displays are 1280x1024. Thirty years ago, you were lucky if you had an accelerator that could do 800x600@16bpp (I seem to recall those little IBM 12 or 13" VGA monitors could actually do 1024x768... at something like 35hz vertical!)

    ...culturally appropriated

    Can culture be stolen?? That's a most emphatic "No;" adopting practices from another culture... is flattering ("we think this/that/the other about [your culture] is so cool... ") and should be actively encouraged. It's one of the main reasons why Irish and Italians were able to integrated in America the way they did.

    Culture obviously can't be stolen... so if we want to stir up the mouthbreathers with some divisive shit, what are we to do??

    Answer: go around casually dropping semantically-meaningless terms like "culturally appropriated."
