  1. Re:Same coin, different sides on PIRATE Act Introduced in Congress · · Score: 1

    From Gary Nolan's (L) recent FoxNews Interview:

    ASMAN:
    Let me just stop you right there. You are here to
    say that the first thing you do as president is eliminate the IRS?

    NOLAN:
    No. I didnt say that, David, what I said is we have to reduce the size of the federal government and reduce spending and get rid of the IRS

    ASMAN:
    So you would eliminate the IRS?

    NOLAN:
    Eventually, yes, absolutely.

    think of all the current examples of the huge media conglomerates which are doing things to screw the consumer.

    It's not just that industry... think about the $29.50 fees that your bank charges. I'd like to burn down Bank of America, I'm sure they could rebuild ever office with just the money made from those damned fees.

    You gotta hand it to them though, if they reject 90% of messages, spam will obviously go down.

    The reason no one has replaced their fans with Ionic Breezes is because they move air slowly and require constant cleaning. They simply don't remove heat from the case fast enough. You even said so yourself: "They don't throughput much air, and they need constant cleaning,"

  10. Re:That IS kind of funny on PHP 5 RC 1 released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think you are referring to sites that get killed from too many connections to MySQL (due to the poor defaults in MySQL). As someone who programs for high traffic adult sites, I can attest that PHP can handle loads of traffic with ease, it's the databases that usually fuck up first. And even then that's usually just due to retarded coding practices.

    Funny enough though, /. uses MySQL without apparent problems, but then again there's a lot of page caching.

  13. Sone thoughts... on Wiring a House While It's Still Being Built? · · Score: 1

    I've done installations before and if you have crawlspace under the house, you really don't have to worry about any of it now, because you can always just drill and runa new line.

    I would run CAT5e to your office or whatever and leave it at that if you're happy with 2.4Ghz wireless from there.

    Maybe that's what makes it funny? And stop flinging the word 'liberal' around like an invective instead of an adjective. Some of us are Libertarian conspiracy theorists, and we don't like taxes either. :-p

    Actually, American auto manufacturers moved to Mexico and South America, thus everyone buys Hondas and Toyotas... which are made in America.
