  1. Gentoo is perpetuating a false flag to cover for Microsoft attacking them? How much glue have you been sniffing lately?

  2. Git got bought out my microsoft.

    I'm pretty sure the Software Freedom Conservancy would be pretty surprised by this.

    This may very well be an attack and not a hack of any kind.

    And what does Microsoft get out of committing this federal crime? This was just a mirror. If Microsoft was gonna commit a federal crime wouldn't they have been smart enough to actually attack the main repositories hosted by Gentoo themselves? What would attack a mirror buy them?

    Um, no, all of Apple's SoCs use ARM-designed cores.

    Um, no, they don't. You're plainly an idiot.

    What on earth made you think otherwise?

    Facts and reality? Apple has an architectural license to ARM ISAs, but they do not use Cortex cores in their SoCs. They make their own cores based off the ARM ISA. Hence, they do not use the ARM-designed cores but their own designs that share an ISA. Again, as I point out above this is as dumb as saying that AMD uses Intel-designed cores simply because they share an ISA.

    Their statement was well beyond someone being ignorant and was straight into someone who had no idea what they were talking about but proclaiming to be knowledgable. AKA someone that is stupid.

    Wrong. They license the ISA and build their own custom-designed cores around that. This is as stupid as saying that AMD cores use Intel cores just because they both use the x86 ISA.

    Except that Apple doesn't use ARM-designed cores. They make their own.

    Or you realize you can make more money off of something else using the same floor space. I'm pretty sure Best Buy knows better than you do about how to allocate their retail space than you.

    DRC = Dynamic Range Compression not whatever made up acronym you created.

  11. It's far more targeted and much lower current.

  12. One group received transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for 20 minutes, while the other placebo group received just 30 seconds of current and then nothing for the remaining 19 minutes.

    It's not that they got a "placebo shock," it's that the placebo group didn't get a sustained current for the entire 20 minutes. The level of current used, tDCS usually uses only around .5 to 2 mA of current, is likely not high enough for either group to tell a difference. It's not like they were driving 20 amps through these people.

    On the other hand, tDCS is much more subtle, delivering a continual low direct current to specific areas of the brain via electrodes on the head. The level of electrical current administered in tDCS sessions is often imperceptible to a subject and occasionally results in no more than a mild skin irritation.

    Your statement makes no sense. Digital does not imply it had DRC applied to it.

    Hugo is not a shortening of anything. In Italian, Leo would be shortened from Leonardo and Theo to Teodoro. So even if two of them are shortened the long form still has a vowel at the end so you still fail.

  19. Imagine if instead of trying to chase people down for pirate radio stations, it was actively helping provide information on how to set stations up and letting people know which frequencies would be good to use in their area?

    They already do have that on their website for people who want a Low Power FM License. You can search by latitude and longitude of your station to find available broadcast channels. These tools have existed for years and years.

  20. Just create a special low power license and limit it to noncommercial use.

    They already have back in 2000 called the LPFM (Low Power FM) license. It's for educational, noncommercial use.

  21. Probably because most of these stations couldn't afford to be licensed if they wanted. That's the reason they run an unlicensed operation.
