We have to spend all that money on our Military you goddamn idiots!!!!!! Who the fuck do you think would save your ass if the shit happened to hit the fan right over your goddamned heads. Stupid Canadian Fucks;) !!!!
Did I read that right???? 35A for Athlon? As in Amps? As in consistent draw? If this was correct then please if you could post a source for your information, otherwise I'll assume you meant milli-amps..... 35A.....wow....just.....wow!!!! I've been living under a rock apparently.
Hey buddy RFTL(Read The Fucking Tagline) MSNBC's catch line for the article said exactly what the poster did. True he should have read it first and then posted his story, but really I blame MSNBC for instigating it just to catch readers attention.
He actually quoted the tagline for the article, when reading the article later you find out that they simply wanted to screen them. I don't like it much better then total restriction but if you want to blame someone, blame MSNBC for attempting to get your attention by misleading you initially.
I for one congratulate MIT!!! It was a bold move to stand up to something as blatantly wrong as what the government was trying to do. Security must not be gained at the sacrifice of our morals. What does that say about us as a society, our nation who claims to lead all others in progressive thought. We welcomed these people to our land when no other country would take them. France gave us a statue embodying the princple. Now we want to send them away because we think all people of a race would also wish us harm. Extremists come from all races, and someday a white female American will do something terribly destructive which will result in the loss of thousands of lives. What will happen then? The government steps in and calms us down and tells us that we can't trust each other and will therefore take away every personal freedom we have in the name of making us secure? I'll spend a cold day in hell before I allow that to happen to me. So yeah, GO MIT!!!!
I agree that learning how something works without having it in front of you or reasoning in the abstract is a very powerful tool. I don't regard the inability to learn without an example a lack of ability to do this though. I can reason well abstractly when it comes to programming and solving problems, it's simply when it comes to understand how and why something works that I must see it or have some experience in the field. Perhaps if we allowed natural selection to continue its workings we would end up with people much more similar to us. But the problem is we've effectively stopped natural selection by nurturing those that would have died. We find that these people are often able to contribute very postivily to the society around them if their weakness is not exploited. I digress though, the poing I'm trying to make is that as our children's individuality is nurtured, different method's of thought and learning will become apparent. The question we must ask ourselves is whether to adapt that to our society or force it out. I do not think your wrong in that abstract reasoning is powerful, but do not assume that because I cannot learn how something I've never worked with functions abstractly, it means I cannot reason abstractly.
Because ADD isn't a learning disability. I'm way late in responding to this but I just can't get to slashdot as often as I would like. I feel very strongly about this however. ADD is a term used by people who have never understood other human beings. As we move into an era where we are coming to vast self realizations about who we are and the remarkable differences between one person and another, we are sometimes stricken with the inability to cope with those differences. The generation which currently holds the reigns of our society was brought up with the notion of everyone being theoretically the same, or rather, we learn and interact on the same basic level and with the same input stimuli. However, the parents of the generation who follow, are teaching their children the full extent of individuality, sometimes intentionally and sometimes not. When children are encouraged to express this individuality we are often suprised by the results. Things that didn't happen because of the extremely narrow scope of society while our parents were growing up, are now becoming commonplace. The people in power run amok with their statistics and figures, touting high crime rates and having a mass reactions to things they have not even begun to understand. Public outcry is a very bad thing because, while it provides an outlet for rage we cannot fully express, it is often misdirected by a few who influence the many. At this point many will think I've detracted from my point but my reasons are valid, everything in life that we argue about relates back to the society in which we live and the moral and legal strictures there of. ADD is called a disability or a disease because children are encouraged to express their individuality, and what we must come to realize, is that no two children learn quite the same way. Due to mass numbers of children and the fact that even with random distribution there are bound to be groups that are close enough to appear to learn the same, we are ignoring what we see in front of us. Attempting to teach children in an environment that has long failed to understand them, will only produce drastically more dismal results. Soon we will grow into parents and we will encourage our children's individuality further, and soon we will see what we are ignoring most readily. Children must be taught with the understanding that each learns in a different manner. 20+ children in a classroom all being fed the same lecture will only reach perhaps half or even less that number. At best, the rest will be mediocre students and the resulting negative pressure to push themselves farther will only lead them to rebel. As an example, I learn by visualization and example. If somebody shows me a concept of accomplishing something and then shows me the end result, altering the initial method in small amounts to show me how each part of the method affects the end results, I learn these things on the first take. Others learn by reading, and still others through lecture. You, the public, decry the school systems of america, you decry the teachers, the financial status and you even come down on your children, most of you through sheer frustration and lack of understanding. You encouraged our individuality but you didn't know what to do with it. If you cannot help your child to realize who (s)he is, some of them will never figure it out. This leads to depression, and eventually externally projected acts of malice, anger, criminal acts, or even suicide. ADD is not a disease or a disability, it is your own inability to cope with something you encouraged. Our very nature by being human automatically directs our attention to whatever it is that interests us and it is here that we may find the key to each person's method of thinking. Every single person is unique for a reason, perhaps it is time we started understanding that instead of trying to mold it into a more socially acceptable image. I think if you stopped to give it some thought, we created society and are being fooled into thinking it controls us. These are my thoughts but I cannot believe I am ADD simply because I do not understand things I cannot see working in front of me.
I think it should be perhaps noted that you are implying Hydrogen is one of the noble Gases. If this is the case you are wrong. Helium is one of the noble gases though I believe it does behave radically differently from the rest of them. Hydrogen is on the other side of the periodic table. Please clarify???
Everybody always says buy independant. While this is a great way to experience new music...the majority of the American public buys what they hear on the radio. The only way I am introduced to new music is through the radio. I don't have time in my day, or rather it's not really a priority to me, to go out and hunt down music for hours trying to sort through the good stuff and the bad. Unfortunately the radio only plays things that are carried by major record labels with a few exceptions. So the music I'm introduced to is extremely narrow in scope. Therefore when I hear something I like and I wish to purchase the CD, I must go through these fuckwads or download illegaly. Now I'm all for supporting artists, but from what I've heard over several years of this debate, the artists don't get shit compared to what RIAA/MPAA is making. I don't feel that's right and I'm not going to spend what little cash I have to support some corporate whore unless I love the entire friggin cd. The only way I'm going to know that is if I download the music first. I think if you want to open up the majority of the public who keeps supporting these companies, to a much broader and richer musical experience....the first step is to get the radio stations to play more of the local and independant scene. This would introduce the masses to said music and thus generate revenue for bands that are independant of the whores. Thus you have competition in the music industry for the first time in...well as long as I've been alive at the very least.
Contact this gentleman: rich(remove this entire pointless anti spam generated block of text)568117@usa.net He's done it several times in various configurations......he could help you out a lot.
Ah...I can't really comment on that so much. I loved 3dfx back in the day. But when I got my V3 3500 and it wouldn't work right at all I was pissed off. It took me forever to figure out that if you wanted games to run the right way you had to step down your color resolution from 32bit to 16bit in Windows. As far as gaming is concerned though, the only reason I still use windows is because of the games....how did you get around the lack of support for gaming in linux? I'm an avid player of SOF2 and I haven't seen a copy for linux yet......and you'll forgive me but Wine has failed to impress me so far. Good that you were able to make the switch though. The other thing that pissed me off about 3dfx is that they used their own version of gl.....they couldn't just use open GL like everyone else. SOF2 doesn't support miniGL.
You may have posted as AC and that's kewl.....but I don't think you quite got the recognition that your post deserved. I found it rather amusing and it probably took you a little bit of time to write. Thanks for making my day brighter..sorry I don't have mod points at the moment.
The fact that this post actually gained this person +5, and I'll admit it was funny....but only funny because he actually got the +5. This should tell you people something......
You know you might just try hitting preview and reading your own damn submission once in awhile.....damn kids and their damned spell check. Do something for yourself once in awhile.
Do you have ATI or Nvidia? If you have ATI then your problem is probably more a result of really shitty driver support from ATI. I haven't seen them put out a set of drivers that have worked, hands down, for everything you do. Not since the ATI Rage days at least. Ever since the Radeon's came out they've had nothing but problems with their drivers and windows. So perhaps linux solved your problem, and good for you in embracing a new OS but don't be so quick to place the blame on microsoft(Although they probably deserve it for something else just as sleazy). If you had an Nvidia card then rock on with you and down with windows blah blah blah. But IIRC GFX drivers were ATI's brainchild(cough).
Kudos to you. If I had mod points I would spend them all on you. It is the first time in a very long time that I've seen someone offer a valid positive technical solution to a problem somebody has listed here. I realize that this is supposed to be a public forum to discuss the pro's and con's of the "news" posted here but it's also nice to see someone not derided for their lack of knowledge, called a n00b or told to RTFM.
What??? Oh sorry got warm fuzzies there for a second. No don't worry back to my usual cynical self, carry on, carry on.
Right the fuck on man!!!! I was in Korea when it happened, fucking military, but while being shocked at what had happened, I was rather more annoyed at the security precautions established to prevent copycats at my location. I felt bad for those people, but I wasn't crying my eyes out and at NO POINT was I scared to open mail. Maybe I'm totally desensitized to the violence that surrounds me in the world, or, then again, maybe I just don't give a shit about the teeming masses in New York whom certainly don't give a shit about me. I'm not upset by that, I just realize that when you have a country as large as ours, you cannot begin to care, or concern yourself with everyone else in the country. As it is we are usually fighting with each other anyways over this bullshit bill in congress or that bullshit new tax law. This whole fucking country is crap. I'm going to be slightly hypocritical in saying that it's crap that I LOVE but it's still crap. I still think I live in one of the best places in the entire world, but I think that more because of the area I grew up, the place that brings back the memories of my youth, and the dreams of my future. I have the time to do that because despite this country's government being a total piece of shit, it has given me the freedom to live my life in bumfuck wherever if I want to. So I guess the resulting point I'm trying to get across here is, if I'm going to cry about it, it would have to affect me on a level with which I share emotional attachment, none of which is tied to anything close to New York. If your going to unify America, you have to affect them emotionally, which means country wide, and good luck with that.
Yes but SP3 is also the SP that gives Microsoft Remote access to your machine in W2k.....damned bastards, I slap their hands away and every time I turn my back they creep up on me again.
Probably somebody caught this.....but this article reads like a six year old wrote it. Basically he's telling you, everything you know is going to change, and that it won't be an incredible performance increase over what we see now. Furthermore, he obviously didn't have an editor or a spell checker, and he pings from one topic to another just to come round and rehash things he's already said. WTF has journalism come to today?

Where do you draw the line, because something is harder to procure, it therefore becomes ethical?
