    Agreed that Flash needs to be replaced, but not with HTML 5.

  10. Re:Baby Steps on AMD Publishes Open-Source "ATI Evergreen" Driver · · Score: 1

    There used to be a time when only Nvidia cards used to run at full power on Linux. Go AMD!

    We still are in that time, as TFA states: "The current offering doesn't promise 2D (EXA) acceleration or 3D support." Well what IS the driver going to do, then?

    Hopefully due to the profitable quarter they just had, AMD/ATI can hire some Linux devs to get the ball rolling faster.

    Being X-rayed emits much more radiation as opposed to a household router, plus the single dies down tremendously as it passes through walls (especially siding)

  23. Re:And this is news why? on CES Vendors Kicked Out of Hotels For Showcasing Wares in Room · · Score: 1

    Yet I was there in November and was a single one of the casinos closed? Nope. Oh well, they have to put off plans to demo the older ones ... why are they doing that? To build tons of newer ones, of course. The casinos and restaurants were still bustling but by news reports, you'd think the economy was tanking. So what happened? Who went under? What closed? Oh, decadent plans to demolish and rebuild were put off? I feel horrible for poor Vegas.

    You think like the people at CEA. Lets not pay attention to the small/medium guys who can't afford it here, and only to our rich friends such as Samsung and Microsoft. When those small businesses and the middle classes move out, that's when everything comes to a collapse. Being harsh to these tiny start ups now will only have an adverse affect in the future.

    It's your naive way of thinking (Oh, as long as the rich are going to gamble at the casino and fuck some hoes it's alright that Joe six-pack has to sell his home) that led us into the bad economy, because you fail to see the big picture.

  24. Re:So... on CES Vendors Kicked Out of Hotels For Showcasing Wares in Room · · Score: 1

    Since you question my competetence, here's the definition for anti-competetive

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-competitive

    The CEA is prohibiting other business' from preforming perfectly legal actions.

    Just because a company is bigger than yours, doesn't give it the authority to prohibit you from selling your merchandise.

    Lastly, it's not creating a WallMort. It's creating a NEW market for those interested in what these smaller-businesses have to offer, you can't suggest that CES is going to cry bankruptcy because of some competition.

    If I go and fly to Vegas to grab a hooker, that doesn't tie me to that girl unless there is some binding contract (Which in this case, is non-existent), so I'm free to go and check out another lady if I please.

  25. Re:And this is news why? on CES Vendors Kicked Out of Hotels For Showcasing Wares in Room · · Score: 1

    1. So your justifying that since CES came rolling into town, they are now the new overwhelming authority?

    Handing someone a large sum of money in exchange for them to become your puppet is being anti-competitive, is it not?

    2. These companies were PAYING customers, and under the guidelines most hotels follow (See my OP), they had no jurisdiction to kick them out, it was only when the CEA came in and complained that they were sent packing.

    3. Yes, I'm sure that Vegas is hurting...look at Dubai "The Playground for the Rich". Over the years I've stayed at spruced up places such as The Biltmore (Miami), and eaten at restaurants like Mortons, and maybe it's not declining as rapidly as the middle-class market, but the consumer flow isn't as abundant as it was years ago.
