  1. Re: Hmm... does that mean he's good? on 145 Tech Leaders Say 'Trump Would Be A Disaster For Innovation' (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    because she is globalist war-hawk?

  2. The mandate for focus on 'maximum employment' is ridiculous this runs completely against the charter for a stable currency which FRS has completely failed at.

  3. Lets start a 'things I hate' thread... I can't stand pluralizing database table names. Its redundant. Who is going to store one record in a table?

  4. Some things are like Chinese water torture... how many years has he been doing linux kernal?

  5. Re:Smaller market, too. on PC Shipments Return To Growth In the US (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    A lot of classes now want or prefer typed assignments... so my son has an inexpensive laptop to use. That being said it is 4 or so years old and works fine for what he needs it for.

  6. 4k video? on PC Shipments Return To Growth In the US (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't know how much it matters in other markets but seems to be a lot of interest in 4k gaming lately.

  7. Re:AT&T needs to watch out... on Facebook Sued for $1 Billion for Alleged Use of Medium for Terror (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    There is a big difference between civil libel cases and ignoring criminal conduct being enabled by your service.

    You have certainly tried to superimpose things to look that way.. the liability part comes AFTERWORD. Agenda perhaps? I will post the whole thing...


    (c) Protection for “Good Samaritan” blocking and screening of offensive material (1) Treatment of publisher or speaker No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

    (2) Civil liability
    No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—
    (A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or
    (B) any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).[1]

    So they are very specific about liability in concerns to censoring. I don't see a blanket statement releasing them from liability for what they publish.....

    Did you even read that? The first part releases them from liability for CENSORING things. English is hard, isn't it?

  10. I've never had any strange behavior or unknown processes running on my machine and none of my online accounts have been hacked. What exactly should I be worried about?

  11. Sorry no car analogy. But I can imagine the outrage if a gun forum let it's users plot a bombing on an abortion clinic or something. Their would be a call for blood and lawsuits.

  12. Re:Environmental impacts? on A Medical Mystery of the Best Kind: Major Diseases Are In Decline (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    If you actually read your citation it says that steel is now contaminated by steel recycling, not airborne radiation.

  13. Re:Something is wrong but what? on Has Physics Gotten Something Really Important Really Wrong? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Lost of physicists refer to them as 'silly strings'. It just happens to be the physics du jour of Princeton.... the real physicists now are at Caltech and MIT.

  14. I've never had a virus on windows 7 and I suspect that's true about most competent users. What are you saying?

  15. Re:Windows Problems on Antivirus Software Is 'Increasingly Useless' and May Make Your Computer Less Safe (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, I use windows antivirus and have never had any problems.

  16. Re:Thousands of blahblahblah on UW, Microsoft Successfully Encoded 200MB of Data Onto Synthetic DNA Molecules (seattletimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah it doesn't really make any sense. PCR works because you have millions of copies of DNA, and if it is 10% decomposed it is in different areas so on average you get the information. Is the thing in the article making more than one copy?

  17. Re:It is Their Site on Facebook Decides Which Killings We're Allowed to See · · Score: 1

    Yeah, would love to return to the internet the way it was. Last time I checked USENET is still available to those that want it. Remind me what we lost?

  18. Re:It is Their Site on Facebook Decides Which Killings We're Allowed to See · · Score: 1

    About 2/3 of the article summary is spent talking about how FB monitors and limits its content like it is something special. 100% of public forums or content sites do this. People just get tired of hearing this populist garbage about free speech which is just plain wrong.
