    That's OK, I don't know what tablets are for either.

    A word of honor eh? What do you think the reaction would be if I walked into a bar on a reservation and said "Hey, redskins, what's up?"

    Once you have enough money to cover your needs (Needs depend very heavily on your expectations and accepted standard of living), there is no improvement to your quality of life

    Oh, I dunno. I think the quality of my life would be better if I had a Lamborghini.

  7. Re:Tea on House Majority Leader Defeated In Primary · · Score: 1

    My only qualm is it's been hijacked well beyond its initial namesake cause of shrinking the bloated spending into almost every old Republican grievance.

    Hijacked? That's what they were intended to be from the very start.

  10. Re:Wrong target of blame. on AMD, NVIDIA, and Developers Weigh In On GameWorks Controversy · · Score: 2

    Frankly I think that ATi has made a huge engineering mistake by only focusing on Win32 and by not supporting Unix from day one as a first class citizen,

    Yeah, how stupid of them to focus on a platform that has 90%+ of the market. Clearly it would have been a better decision to dump all their resources into a niche platform.

    Thanks for unilaterally deciding what's "fair" for us.

    How do you lower unemployment? Increase demand. How do you increase demand? Give people more money. How do you give people more money? Raise the minimum wage.

    1. No, but if you want to make a commercial enterprise, don't come looking to me for a free hand out to get it started.

    I trust them. I mean, LeVar knows a little something about running an Enterprise.

    but once people started marketing those with other goods that had an established perceived value guess what happened?

    A few people hoarded them and drove the price artificially high?

    He doesn't care if FLOSS is far slower, is less polished, or is outright worse. Propietary software is just not to be considered because it always has many disadvantages.

    So being slower, less polished, or outright wrong aren't disadvantages?

    Yes, but the poster I was replying to said the car should just start when you get in.

  22. Re:I hate push button start on Did the Ignition Key Just Die? · · Score: 1

    2. I've got to push some dash start button, which seems to have some kind of timer control. It's not a temporary switch to the starter motor. You can just tap it and it will engage thee stater. I worry what happens when my fuel pump or battery is a few years older and it takes a little longer to start.

    This is just the way things are headed, even for key ignitions. My car has a key, but you don't have to hold it in the start position to start the engine. You just turn it quickly and then let it go and the engine cranks by itself.
