  1. So, let's take away all the porn that doesn't involve exploitation, because there might be people being exploited elsewhere. Sounds like a great plan!

    If you find instances of exploitation, deal with those, otherwise why even mention it?

  2. Re:Goodbye Quality on Logitech Buys Saitek (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    It must be difficult to play a FPS while heaving. I hope you feel better soon. (I know, it was a spell check error, but it was funny to see).

    I like the MX Master mouse I got for my laptop:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/...

    It works really well, and rarely loses connection. I have never liked wires on my mice, they always seem to get hung up on something when gaming. Previous to this one though, I used a Logitech Trackman trackball. It was nice never having to pick up and move the mouse at the pad edges with that, but they tended to get gummed up more easily as the tracking is done on something that touches your fingers.

    It seems that finding items sold under the Saitek name is quite easy. I can't say that when shopping for flight sticks and the like I would even think to look for Mad Catz rather than Saitek.

  4. I rather miss the original build everything from scratch of Gentoo. It seems they took the charm from Gentoo install when they started the stage three installers.

  5. It is caused by a chip that uses a BGA mounting method; the same method of mounting that caused all the nVidia display issues in the Macbooks a while ago.

    This time, rather than thermal stress causing the problem to appear, it seems to be related to Bendgate. Because the phone has very poor structural strength, it isn't able to properly keep the board from bending under the chip, causing the BGA pads to eventually separate, and lose connectivity.

  6. But you will notice, that while Apple ignores this problem and acts like it doesn't exist, Samsung recalled all the Note 7 without any government intervention.

    So, non religious give more when you exclude the charities that religious give to? Who would have thunk it?

    Religious tend to give to religious charities, this does not consist of only giving to the church, but the many religious charities that do much good in the world.

  8. Very likely, religions. Religions don't discriminate, all are welcome in the food lines and shelters. It however is impossible to get assistance programs if you have ever committed a felony, even though those are the people most likely to need the assistance.

  9. Vegetables scream when you cut them, it is just too quiet for us to hear!

    I'll bet his English is better than your Hindi. Complaining about a minor mistake that many native speakers make, when someone who is most likely speaking English as a second language, is quite the height of ignorance.

  11. Abortion to the religious is murder, do you have a problem with murder?

    Marriage is a religious ceremony that is licensed by the state. Look at the origins of the word marriage, and you will find it was always a religious ceremony. The religious resent having the state tell them what their religions have to do, therefore, they are generally against gay marriage. Now, I have to ask, why this focus on coopting a religious term instead of using the perfectly legitimate term civil union? Why was there this huge fight for gay marriage instead of equal rights of civil unions and marriage? Why this huge social effort to redefine what marriage is?

    And the NFL can go BF each other for not firing Kaepernick.

    It is his first amendment right to kneel during the national anthem. I may not agree with his decision to do so, but why do you think he should be fired?

  15. I had to look this up:

    It was apparently a mistake, but your response made even less sense.

    It also looks like that it is actually pretty widespread as spoons are considered drug paraphernalia (it is used in the preparation of Crack I believe).

  16. She could try reporting the pictures to Facebook, it might even work. I would expect naked pictures of a child to be along the lines of child pornography enough to get a response from Facebook to the complaint, even if they were non sexual in nature.

    This is the weirdest election I can remember though, it is three right wingers versus the Green party (I don't know enough of their platform to say right or left). Hillary is way right, I am amazed that the Democratic party can even support her.
