you should be glad people buy amd chips anymore, its the only true competition for Intel.
I buy AMD because well...fuck Intel.
In all honesty the performance different is negligible anymore, but ive had my quad core amd for awhile, its sturdy, it does what i need and i can overclock it....I have never been disappointed in a AMD cpu, intel however...i had a few shitty ones from them. I wont buy ATI however, i hate those video cards.
so just be thankful that the market is what it is, if intel had a monopoly you would be paying alot more for a shittier cpu.
controllers suck, i hate FPS with controllers, there are a few games that are ok, but FPS games realy suck. graphics are significantly better, when did xbox come out, 1800's? the computer world has far surpassed that shitty piece of hardware Computers can multitask, i can play a game and switch over to surf the web, switch back to game or whatever I dont need to deal with Fucking disks, i hate them and they hate me I am not locked down, modding on pc can make a game so much more interesting after vanilla runs its course, If your a pirate then PC is the way to go Most decent games hit the PC as well Video cards to play practically every game, you dont need a high end card to play a game...unless your a dumb developer...like crysis Computers in itself are mutli functional and can do a variety of things, what can your xbox do? not much, play dvds and some video formats, they are not all that impressive Computers are honestly rather fun to put together, its not a hassle, i love the smell of a newly motherboard and the acid wash...of course i will admit that its not normal and possibly not healthy.
Movies cost so much money because of a broken system, music cost so much money because of a broken system, information itself cost so much money because of a broken system, the system has got to break completely before it can be rebuilt
Its good for hiding your identity, it creates a encyrpted tunnel between you and the vpn, as you request data from the internet (say from bittorrent) that request is sent through the tunnel and through there server, effectively hiding your IP and your data from the ISP. You should use a public DNS, Google has a few and changing it can be a bit challenging for someone not understanding how it works, but once you understand it its easy. Lots of documentation on the web on how to change to a public DNS.
The downside is the data needs to travel farther and through extra hops, slowing everything down.
You want a VPN that claims to hold no logs, and some claim they dont but yet still do, airvpn has always impressed me and i have never had or heard of a problem with them, they also take BTC so your paper trail cannot be traced through say paypal. For pirating software, it will work fine and you would probably even be fine without changing your DNS, though id do it anyways.
We just see things on two different planes of existence, while you seem to want to protect the content industry, i want to open the flood gates.
Fact is, the numbers are far and against the industry, the more people that know the more people that will do and the less control they have and maybe, just maybe, things can change. I am for civil disobedience on a massive scale, you want to hide in the shadows and be one of the few that can get around things, i want a change, you want the way it is to continue
we could argue you about morality all day long, basically it comes down to this, your not any better of a person then anyone else and thinking otherwise is just ignorance; but i am not going to argue about the morality, i dont argue with people who think they are better then others, what i am going to argue is that this is a easily abused system with so many ways to make false positives it isnt even funny.
Give you a example, most modern routers include WPS that is turned on by default, this stupid idea is so unsecure it takes 2 to 10 hours to secretly get the WPA key, i have 6 around me currently all with a good enough signal to do this. This is going to get poor grandma wondering what the hell is going on. The very idea of this is so disgusting that i honestly dont care what you think about piracy, you are a American and should be offended by the very thought that your guilty untill proven innocent.
Rights are rights, they should not be taken away because others attempt to abuse them, your logic is utterly flawed and your thinking allows for things like this to happen
Not a big deal at all, i suppose it would be if it affected the pirate community one bit, but it didnt, nothings changed..pirate bay could fall off forever and it wouldnt change. My point was, its all pointless.
Also, pirate bay still up and they have been attacked so many times that its always up now.
I dont know when the last time you where at SR but it isnt ideal, it can take a long time to navigate SR. While there is no better place to show how silly the drug war really is, i wouldn't put it as 'running fine'
Work? im not so sure anything worked, they sue, they scream, they bitch, they use governments to push agenda as well as ISP, yet i can still download the latest screener in 15 minutes. I suppose the best they can do is force TPB to move to another country, not that it solved or did anything to help there cause.
The problem with bitcoins is it feels like its a unstable market, just in agusust it was stuck around 10 but now its jumped up to 30. Might be a good investment to hold onto them but you take a chance of someone flooding the market and dropping the price dramatically. Imagine getting paid 500.00 worth as your paycheck but before you could get cash the price drops 50%.....i dont know if it could happen but bitcoin prices have dropped dramatically before. Plus, bitcoins are easily stold if you dont know how to protect them.
I wouldnt want to get paid with them, at least no more then 10% of my check. I would however like to point out that it is optional, they are not forcing anyone to accept bitcoins and compensation and that is rather cool.
I for one like bitcoins and i hope they stable out
I agree there, i just dont see how its useful to blame the president and soley him, he is simply one cog in broken machine. Executive branch has gained alot of power over the years but its congress that has given it away, mainly because each party wants there own to have power. Hopefully patent reform will get its day, but its probably going to end up being like the drug war, to many interest involved to change it. One day it will snap though, just might take awhile.
Well considering that most material that is made, this includes all of earth and every molecule in your body was at one time a bunch of hydrogen under very intense pressured being cooked together basically, and most materials cannot be just made without these conditions...i think we are safe from terrorist printing nukes in the foreseeable future.
Pluto is smaller then our moon, this one is just slightly larger...while i admit that the thought crossed my mind at first, and it certainty posses the WTF do we do about this kind of question, Pluto does things that other planets do not do, like the crazy orbit and crossing in the orbit of another planet. Pluto is not a planet and it cannot be categorized as one for a variety of reasons, not just its size, but the way it acts and also its formation. Its simply the way science categorizes things that makes Pluto incapable of being a planet, your attachment to it does not matter.
Well your argument is null and void as soon as you used the word sheep. I just wanted to say, for me, i find that kind of way of arguing a bit childish. Its no wonder why you are annon.
All presidents exert there power through executive branch, it all depends on how you end up defining the constitution and ultimately we have the courts to stop and define clearly what can and cannot be done. You cant say they are acting or not acting constitutional because the push and pulls of powers and then the final say creates the living constitution. This is not uncommon through out our history, for example Roosevelt ordered all factories to produce things for the war as well as ordered the detainment of all Japanese citizen, these of course where both struck down by the courts.
You are correct that both party's use executive orders to further there sponsors, its sorta the system as fucked up as it is. Money needs to be removed from politics plain and simple; but to say that obama is going to the point where he is creating new laws and enforcing them, you would need to cite a source on that because i dont know of any law obama has created, only things he interprets, correct or not; but again, we have courts to stop him. To reform patent would require new laws, he hasn't championed patent reform but you cannot truly blame just the president, and that was my point to begin with, blaming just the president ignores how our government works and the true powers of the executive branch. Just maybe, if all the media and hyperbole was on a realistic level, presidents wouldn't attempt to take so much power. I personally despise the fact that obama thinks he can just kill a American citizen just cause he says so, but that is not a law, thats a interpretation and a horrible one at that.
I am not sure what you mean by 'could have', but i am not paying for a grammar lesson so please spare the effort, thanks in advance.
1. I dont know of many people truly calling for censorship, there might be a few on the left that do but i cant think of any, cite a source on something like that....you used science in there for some reason, but your babble made it hard to understand, if someone is saying your wrong cause science proves it, then your wrong. If i am getting you correctly, if someone says there is no such thing as gravity, and a liberal says there is because science proves it.....thats not censorship bud, thats fact..though i just want to point out that crazy religious people speaking stupid ideas are still loud as ever and watch the science commitee talk to neil degrass tyson and watch how many religous buz words the head' says, its almost frighting the ignorance, but you cant arrest them and nobody is calling for it. 2. Not many left people are calling for gun control, i dont know where your getting your info from but there is very few politicians on the left calling for to much gun control. They are following guide lines setup by the supreme court, all within the constitution...and if not, then thats why we got a 3rd branch....unless your arguing for a narrow version interpretation of the constitution, or more specifically, you and your small little groups ideology...well then your not realy following the spirit of the country, because there is far more people in it then just you and that minority your speaking for. 3. I cant even begin to address the depth of ignorance this statement is....the problem you discuss is much more complicated then you would imagine, there are generations of problems that society as a whole has created to create what we have today, to sum it up in a few words doesn't give it justice, there are millions and millions of pages of essays and scientific research into these problems and yet they still persist....and have been for along time...i can only assume your response is without compassion, and well liberals do have compassion so i suppose if your doing everything you can to avoid being liberal, it would make sense to remove that part of you. 4. I dont know what to tell you here, its almost like the more the numbers you counted the more confused you got and now we just have anger. I mean your talking about other peoples feelings but there is no way for you to know any ones elses feelings other then yours, so how can you account for a good 40% of the population? this stuns me in disbelief.
I hear liberals cry about the plight of minortys,and probably because there are serious problems that need to be addressed. What kind of world are you arguing for? that we just dont care what happens to anyone else? i mean, do you realize the ramifications to that? probably not...honestly all i see is someone who has been listing to by some right winger, using fear to keep a audience, on the radio or tv. Nothing you said made any logical sense, your spinning emotions into word and you don't even know why. Its sad really, i feel bad for you. However, freedom of speech and all, what can you do? well nothing, guess you just got to suffer in feeling like the world is going to end every day of your life...to bad really. Im just thankfull that i am not in china where crazy people like them don't get shot.

All that maybe true, but you still have yet to make a argument, all you do is support fear and call names.
Doesnt that just make you worse?
i want the chair to record the lobyist that sit next to them and the amount of money they change hands
Though, it would need to be a smart chair to calculate that kind of numbers.
controllers suck, i hate FPS with controllers, there are a few games that are ok, but FPS games realy suck.
graphics are significantly better, when did xbox come out, 1800's? the computer world has far surpassed that shitty piece of hardware
Computers can multitask, i can play a game and switch over to surf the web, switch back to game or whatever
I dont need to deal with Fucking disks, i hate them and they hate me
I am not locked down, modding on pc can make a game so much more interesting after vanilla runs its course,
If your a pirate then PC is the way to go
Most decent games hit the PC as well
Video cards to play practically every game, you dont need a high end card to play a game...unless your a dumb developer...like crysis
Computers in itself are mutli functional and can do a variety of things, what can your xbox do? not much, play dvds and some video formats, they are not all that impressive
Computers are honestly rather fun to put together, its not a hassle, i love the smell of a newly motherboard and the acid wash...of course i will admit that its not normal and possibly not healthy.

Big difference between you and me
VPN is easy to use, we as information liberators need to educate the rest of the 85% on how to get around this.
Airvpn is the best i think, easy to use and quite affordable, as a bonus they also accept BTC

Unless your the hero, then it will explode just out of reach, often very dramatic.
