  1. Re:Run your own equipment on At Least 700,000 Routers Given To Customers By ISPs Are Vulnerable To Hacking · · Score: 3, Informative

    This is why I always run my own router behind the ISP's router. Create a DMZ between the 2 routers with a 255.255.255.252 subnet so that the only available IP addresses are one for the WAN port on my router and the other for the LAN port on the ISP router.

  2. effect on Microsoft. on Steam On Linux Now Has Over a Thousand Games Available · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I know numerous people, including me, who hold on to Windows because we are avid gamers of a wide variety of games which are not supported on Linux. If game support became a “killer feature” for Linux, then Microsoft would likely receive a significant reduction in users of their OS and Office suite.

  3. Re:Plausible Deniability on Do Tech Companies Ask For Way Too Much From Job Candidates? · · Score: 1

    yes, I discriminated against him because the other candidate had more experience. I discriminated against you because the other guy wore a $1000 suit while you just had slacks, a button-down shirt and a tie. You can pretty much discriminate anything. Just about any choice you make is discriminatory. I discriminate against McDonald's because I think Jack in the Box's burgers are better. We discriminate based on, prices, quality of service, quality of product. It is impossible to not discriminate.

  6. "Absolute Best", a philosophy bound for disaster on Do Tech Companies Ask For Way Too Much From Job Candidates? · · Score: 2

    The GM automobile assembly plant in Arlington, TX. Nearly closed down because they only looked for “the absolute best.” Suddenly their absolute best are all retiring and there are no “absolute best” to fill the positions. GM scrambled to the local high schools and trade schools. Offering full coverage of tuitions and above average pay for the new automotive technicians. The hiring of the “absolute best “ philosophy is a disaster waiting to happen.

    I think he is confusing the FCC and net neutrality with the FTC and the TransPacific Partnership.

  8. Taste of their own medicine on House Republicans Roll Out Legislation To Overturn New Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd like to see multiple ISP block all content and websites associated with those politicians and their political party. Especially during an election to give them a dose of their own medicine. See this is what can potentially happen to you if net neutrality is prevented. Eventually become as censored as China.

  10. Mark of the Beast on Employees In Swedish Office Complex Volunteer For RFID Implants For Access · · Score: 1

    I see RFID implants as the mark of the beast. 666. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. Revelation 13:16-17 This is my interpretation.

  13. Re:revolutionary idea? on Happy Public Domain Day: Works That Copyright Extension Stole From Us In 2015 · · Score: 1

    This is my revolutionary idea. Add a "use it or lose it" clause to copyright law. If no legitimate means of easily acquiring a legitimate copy of the copyrighted work is provided by the copyright holder, then after X number of years, that work falls into public domain. The whole point of copyright before these extensions was for the artist to profit off their works for a short period of time. After which if they wanted to continue making a profit, they had to continue using that creative mind of theirs to create new works of music,books, music, etc. It is not the intention of copyright for the creators childen's children's children's children or a corporation for centuries to be squeezing every possible penny out of the public who are interested in the work

  21. in simplest form on Interviews: Ask Florian Mueller About Software Patents and Copyrights · · Score: 1

    In simplest form. If company A patented 5+5=10. Then company B patented 20/2=10. Then company C patented Sqrt(100)=10. Would companies B and C be infringing company A's patent because it produces the same output. Even though the inputs and functions used are different. Based on what I read these days, that is what it sound like. If you produce the same output, even when the code is completely different, or even a different coding language, you are likely infringing the patent. Is this how bad software patents are.

    My hope here is that the game is developed to go beyond java rendering. Even with a Core i7, the game hogs about 70% of the CPU and about 3.2GB of memory. On average. Utilize the GPU, Direct X, OpenGL. Something to make resource handling more efficient.
