    Didn't the Apollo program bring us the 8-bit microprocessor?

    No, it didn't. Intel did in 1971 with the 8008.

    4 years is a "long time" now? Something like XFS must be considered ancient by your standards since it's 18 years old.

  13. Re:Still no Retina support for OS X on Firefox 17 Launches With Click-to-Play Plugin Blocks · · Score: 2

    You seem to be thinking that "retina support" is only about rendering the webpage at a higher resolution. It's also about the program's UI. And no, Firefox did not automatically use HiDPI rendering of text in webpages or its UI therwise they wouldn't have needed to fix that. That is an issue with Firefox not OS X as you seem to be trying to blame. Your focus solely on the webpage images misses the point entirely.

    Retina support is more than just higher resolution images. It's about the text rendering, too.

    Yes, they didn't RELEASE any new Mac Mini in 2008. They only sold the mid 2007 which had gigabit.

    My Mac Mini (2008)

    You're definitely trolling as there is no 2008 model Mac Mini. The only ones in that time region are the Mid 2007 and the Early 2009 Mac Mini. The 2009 Mac Mini has gigabit and the Mid 2007 Mac Mini has gigabit. Even the Early 2006 Mac Mini has gigabit. Wanna try again?

  20. Re:If it's a GOP brief on GOP Brief Attacks Current Copyright Law · · Score: 5, Informative

    Think you have that reversed, at least regarding copyright. Chris Dodd, architect of SOPA, was democratic.

    SOPA was introduced to the House by Republican Lamar Smith. He was also its biggest proponent.

    Most of the underhanded legislation to extend copyright and push US style copyright laws on other governments is from the Democratic side of the aisle.

    Wrong. DMCA was introduced to the House by a Republican. The Copyright Term Extension Act, AKA Sonny Bono Coyright Extension Act, was introduced to the Senate by Republican Orin Hatch. Oh and Sonny Bono was a Republican. The Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act was also introduced to the Senate by Orin Hatch. The Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act was also introduced by Orin Harch. I could go on and on about Republican-introduced copyright extension and copyright scope increasing acts. It's a myth that this is a heavily Democrat thing.

    It also uses hardware-level DRM. So it would not work in the emulator anyway.

    We had non DRM rentals before in the form of VHS and VCD...
    We could copy our VHS tapes if we wanted, most people didn't anyway.

    Many commercial VHS tapes used anti-copying technology like Macrovision. So yiur statement isn't really all that true.

    You mean change their policy so they lose all access to their current content? Yeah, brilliant move that would be.
