Because I am not the one who made the claim in the first place. The burden of proof is on the guy trying to making the point/statement. If you can't back up your words, then they are worthless at best. If you've all done your homework so well...then surely you can cite your sources. (Well...unless you were copying off the dumb kid again.)
I am serious...I haven't heard anything of this one, so if there's any merit to your claim...please back it up now. Some links to hard cold evidence would do it.
These posts are full of left-wing knee jerk idiots looking to pass blame. I am sorry...but socialism *IS* a bad thing....often times it works GREAT....for awhile....and then, the system gets abused. Show me a good example where socialism has worked WELL for centuries. Capitalism has held up fairly well for a LONG time now. (For anyone who's willing to do anything for themselves...it's a great system.)
If *YOU* don't like what MS is doing...then stop using their stuff. With capitalism...it's up to all of you. Oh wait...I forgot....most of the idiots flaming about MS on slashdot these days use MS products. I really doubt alot of these people even HAVE a dedicated linux machine, let alone use it as their primary OS. *THAT* is how you beat MS. Don't cry and wait for the govt to do it...get off your ass and deal with it yourself. Your geeks...clean up your own back yard. The wannabe geeks can go crawl back under the rocks you came from.
And your quote for the day: "If I'm going to reach out to the the Democrats then I need a third hand.There's no way I'm letting go of my wallet or my gun while they're around."
Actually have you read anything lately about the advances in making coal power burn cleaner? It's not like years ago when any nearby town would be covered in soot....they are actually getting quite advanced. A friend of mine works in the power industry (powerplant design), so I am going on what he has told me...but I'd have to say by the tone of that, that you haven't done much homework on it.
It's easy to say "Get Rid of the Greybeards" when your the young guy. Do you plan on being out of touch with tech when your older? Interesting...because I sure as hell don't.
This is a really interesting post...I really can't tell if you are serious or just a very slick troll.

from the i-wish-this-was-more-like-this dept. "It's a Windows app, so I'm not able to run it. Neither do I have a CueCat -- but apps like this make me smile. "
With regards to the cuehack story. Now you tell us "I've been playing a fair amount of B&W lately "....
Ok....are you playing it on Linux or do you just talk out your butt alot? I am not trolling here...I am serious! Don't give us the "I can't run a windows app" crap anymore...we know you have a windows machine in there.:)
Assuming your talking about a gun, it's not made for the express purpose of killing a human being. There is also hunting, which is legal (and actually a good thing when moderated), and target shooting is pretty darned fun. Can it kill a human? Sure...so can a car or anything else for that matter. It's all how you use it.
Hey...technically you could kill a man with a DVD, although that could get pretty messy.
Well...with all the the miniaturized laptops in niche markets in the US and more common in Japan, they very easily exist. A Sony Vaio GT1 (with a crusoe processor BTW) has a 6.4" (diagonally measured) XGA TFT with a 1024x768 resolution. I really don't think it would be a cheapo device, but the parts are out there in mass production now. I am still hard pressed to think of a reason why they can't bring them to market in the price range of a good entry level laptop at least....if not less. They'd run linux (free) and you wouldn't even need much (if any) harddrive space on one.
Yeah...but that thing looks like garbage compared to the Transmeta Webslate concept. That thing looks like it's right out of startrek. I would gladly pay what a basic laptop would cost for one...and they can't cost THAT much to make.
If only these companies would get off their asses and actually MAKE some of the good stuff...all these demo/prototype units are good for is a good corporate prick waving contest in my mind. They sure aren't doing me any good other than showing me the cool stuff they aren't going to sell me for years to come.
Umm...you don't "overclock" motors, although you can supe up an electric motor in almost as many ways as you can with an internal combustion engine. That is one of the most lame uses of the term overclock I have heard in awhile. The motor doesn't have an internal clock that we are increasing for more power in some way. It's got magnets and wires, and a pile of control circuitry.
The other thing...why do you mention an ICE GM product? GM has a hybrid that gets like 80 MPG they have been demoing. Look it up actually...it's a really slick and innovative machine.
And as an afterthought...look up how much pollution a MODERN coal power plant puts out. It's no where near what people think they are, because they used to be so sloppy about pollution years ago. It's the lack of that knowledge and NIMBY that keep the things from being built anywhere that we could use one.
I can't imagine it's the fastest by too much though...but off the top of my head I'd have to agree. Those specs are pretty much in the butt kicking range.:)
Well...only a program that can take advantage of the dual CPU's is going to run any faster than it would on a single cpu 933 mhz machine though. The athlon was one cpu at 1600 Mhz. It gets alot done per Mhz, and it has ALOT of them. Anything will run like hell on there.
Gotta love the smooth multitasking on a dual though.
Why do you people insist on trying to associate him with something that he obviously had NO involvement with whatsoever?
Besides....there are pretty much no grounds for the kinda crap this kids going through. He needs to get a good lawyer and appeal/sue the crap out of the cops/rentacops/university officials who are giving him this grief without any solid grounds. I don't think that the federal government, or state police in general have a whole hell of a lot to do with this...more likely some overzealous rentacops.
with half a brain read even half of that page and not know that it's blatant satire? Geez guys....I am REALLY starting to wonder about the editors. Do you even read the stuff before you post it and then fix it with an "UPDATE:" after you look at it? That's just poor!
Well...with the card toasted and the fact that they mentioned their $400 price tag on Ebay, I think alot of people will be a bit hesistant about it. $400 bucks makes for one expensive game!
It may prevent some? Hehe...umm...yeah...and watching real porno really prevents people from getting it on. Hell...some of them use it to get in the mood. Who's to say it doesn't CAUSE as many in some people as it prevents in others? Sex and violence as apples to oranges (to all but a kinky few anyways)
It's a pretty bad argument to make in it's defense.
No...real men make themselves into whatever they want to be regardless of any degree they hold if any. I have met some programmers with MIS backgrounds that blews some CS majors away, although it's often vice-versa....and then I have seen people who don't have ANY degree blow away some pretty good CS majors.
My point is this: Make yourself....your degree won't do that for you.

Greaaat. Katz is gonna have a field day with this one. I can see the "first in a series" bitchfest from here already.

According to your specs page you posted it was 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, which is impressive, but it's not the only car on earth in that speed range.
Well...according to this headline a few days ago, he did. Using the most lienient standards btw.

Fine....so I'll have her in YOUR bed then...

Well now...whitetrash racist fucks? Hmm...who's the racist?
TheCaptain -
If your gonna insult me...insult me with substance, ya little wanker. That insult wasn't even thoughtful.
And my name being "TheCaptain" is more of an inside joke...it's actually more of a Star Trek reference. Nice try tho!
Why do you people insist on trying to associate him with something that he obviously had NO involvement with whatsoever?

Heh...let it be known: Anonymous Coward is a smart pothead!
Sadly...this explains alot of the AC posts.
As for the "smarter than you" part...heh...you were dumb enough to respond to the troll...your not off to the greatest start here....

Yeah....news for nerds my ass.
It should be "Rumor Mill for Geeks and Unusually Paranoid" lately.
No...real men make themselves into whatever they want to be regardless of any degree they hold if any.
