  2. an attack against protected speech on Student Expelled From Indiana High School For Tweeting Profanity · · Score: 1

    As long as you are not referring to reproductive organs, sexual conduct, you can say "fuck" all day long. The words in question ARE NOT obscene, and therefore protected under the first amendment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obscenity "In short, freedom of speech means the freedom of fucking speech, you ignorant cocksuckers." Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

  7. Re:Volt is not a measurement of power on Cooking With Your USB Ports · · Score: 0

    usb 1.1 is 50mA per port, and 2.0 is 500mA, or 0.25W and 2.5W respectively. you must be use a step down converter to get higher current with conversion losses, 1.5V *1.6A=2.5W somebody needs to brush up on basic electronics and math!

  8. here we go again on Torrent-Only Movie Denied IMDb Listing · · Score: 0

    pressure from the big traditional media sources and copyright Nazis , is once again trying to stifle a (not so)new distribution method. i think the actors guild, ASCAP, RIAA, and every other larg money hungry interest group, should shutdown their lawsuit factory and replace them with people that could figure out how to use these new technologies to their advantage to create new distribution methods,

  9. pay attention on US Banks That Offer Transaction History? · · Score: 0

    i am going to trademark and copyright the word "the" and any single use of that word written or spoken requires you to pay royalties to me. Don't worry i only want $0.01 per use.

  10. Re:SF: only one impossibility per story on How Star Wars Trumped Star Trek For Scientific Accuracy · · Score: 0

    perfect point, both are fiction but in different ways, i think there was a study where star trek fans on average scored higher on standardized IQ tests than star wars fans,

  11. Re:And So Offered Another Inaccuracy on How Star Wars Trumped Star Trek For Scientific Accuracy · · Score: 0

    and Star Trek was able to predict / influence how much more tech than Star Wars, example touch screens, tablet computers, cell phones, portable medical scanners, large database/network(internet), voice recognition, and so on, as for accuracy of science star trek doesn't have the implausible light saber or robots controlled by a biological brain. not that star wars were bad movies, i enjoyed them just fine,

  12. bull crap on 'Wi-Fi Illness' Spreads To Ontario Public Schools · · Score: 0

    have there been any research as to why those kids are are having those symptoms, i think not, could be anything from bad cafeteria food to asbestos. try finding out what caused it before the old folks place a ban on fresh air.

    the only crime committed is against the American people by leaving bad grammar in place you only foster ignorance.

  14. stupid move on Music Festival Producer Pre-Sues Bootleggers · · Score: 0

    all someone has to do is respond as a defendant, and by the nature of not having committed any crime yet (or better yet, not intending to even commit the alleged crime) wait until after the event then file a counter suit for slander and accuse them of fraudulently accusing you, and since you would stand to gain more than they would from you, use that money to pay any other parties legal fees. ultimately making the producers of the music festival pay for their obscene use of the legal system!

  15. lawsuits on Chevy Volt Not Green Enough For California · · Score: 0

    Toyota is where Chevy is not, i see some larger problems here. this seems like prejudice against Chevy on the states part, CA is also using its incentives to steer the EV market. what part of the benefits made in USA do they not understand? this is a time where we need to reduce our amount of imports. whats next scare you into thinking you will get cancer, cause California knows something... I think they have been out in the sun too long!

  16. Re:Why didn't they fix it? on BSOD Issues On Deepwater Horizon · · Score: 0

    if they needed a new drill head, it would be there in less than 12 hours! it is all about money, if you can still make money with a broken part or bad software why shut-down and replace it? > that's the thinking of multi billion dollar industry. fines need to be exponentially greater to the effect of putting fear of bankruptcy for BIGOIL only then will government regulation and compliance be effective!

    when i was younger my brother and i used to half fill 2 letre coke bottles and presurize to 9 psi and shoot them into the air, 20 years ago all the cops could do is tells us not to point them at peoples houses. the laws on the books are to broad. sure curiosity kills cats, but it puts kids and thire parents in to legal situations totaly unnesscary. at least the kid was supervised by an adult!

    move to an island a hundred miles away from any transmitting source, mix aluminum flakes in your paint paint the entire house, change the window screens to brass mesh, ground every electrical / electronic device with as short a grounding wire as possible.

  21. Re:ill pit my i7-920 against any AMD 6 core on AMD Undercuts Intel With Six-Core Phenom IIs · · Score: 0

    as if this was not stuff i did not know! sure there is a better price with the AMD products, over all that is their biggest benefit by far. everything else is minute in comparison. you chould look into the market share for the last 20 years, Intel has been the leader and will continue for many more. it is Intel's generosity is the 80s and early 90s that allowed AMD to even enter the X86 market. look at the Itanium, it was out before any AMD 64 platform and largely influenced current intel micro architecture.

  22. ill pit my i7-920 against any AMD 6 core on AMD Undercuts Intel With Six-Core Phenom IIs · · Score: -1, Troll

    i have many Intel based systems that have been reliable for ten years, while many of the AMD systems i built haven't lasted two years, price is an indicator of the length of system reliability. not to mention i have personally seen prototype chips from Intel that were years ahead of AMD at the time.

  24. Re:none on What Restrictions Should Student Laptops Have? · · Score: 1

    very much like prison break! the real questions the school will purchase the most expensive laptops on the market and let students use them for four years and offer them for sale at the end of their high school career. first try using a brand like asus or msi their cheaper although not as popular there is the open source aspect of it. as much as apple wants you to think the best educational is for macs only, the most useful science software is only available for Linux and windows. Linux is also a money saver, make part of your required computer literacy program, to include subjects like open source software. yes you need to be a little more familiar with some basic programing. and the teachers need to learn how to do things with out a mouse, besides apple is one of the mast restrictive companies ir respect to user licenses and allowable software. say you wanted to teach programing using apple would cost you thousands of dollars in licenses and software, whereas Linux and gcc could only cost you the time to familiarize your self with it. having been the only student with administrator privileges in my high school, ever, the logistics of using software with license restrictions it a great burden. keeping 50 machines running was tough imagine the money you would have to spent to keep every students laptop running. it is just my opinion that macs would be very expensive in the long run, and you should look into other options before dedicating to a specific system.

  25. go ahead let him play on your desktop on Computer For a Child? · · Score: 1

    i have a 5 year old boy who has not had much experience with computers, how ever we do play games on the computer together,there many kids websites that are good for him, just create a user account that he can play games and can only get to certain websites, if he does break the keyboard they're cheap, much cheaper than a umpc.
