  1. Re:This would be really cool... on AMD Radeon HD 7970 Launched, Fastest GPU Tested · · Score: 1

    This is a pretty good deal for a real good card(5870). Faster than the 6870, but more of an energy hog.

    CHIBITALIA!

    No, it's been more than 22.3 years. AIDS is finally funny.

    The Northrop YF-23 is looking better and better all the time. Too bad the USAF chose the wrong plane

    WoW is DAoC with a slightly dumbed down interface and a more vibrant and comical palette. So what was your point again?

    That's why you should eat racehorses. Parentage on racehorses is highly documented.

  7. Re:Firefox still rules on Chrome 15 Overtakes IE 8 For Top Browser Spot · · Score: 1

    Unless things have changed, Chrome devs have mentioned that Chrome doesn't have the hooks to do NoScript the way it's done in FF

  8. Re:Firefox still rules on Chrome 15 Overtakes IE 8 For Top Browser Spot · · Score: 1

    Yes, but Firefox takes up a 200+mb footprint in memory.

    I like Opera for mobile. Never been impressed by the PC solution.

  10. Re:Firefox still rules on Chrome 15 Overtakes IE 8 For Top Browser Spot · · Score: 3, Informative

    Other browsers will not load a bunch of crap from 15 different sites when I go to a Gawker website? Will automatically block XSS? Will only load JS from sites that I whitelist? NoScript helps make the web faster. I don't particularly use it for security(it helps to a degree). I use it to prevent all the shiat from loading on every website I go to. Hell, it makes Slashdot run less like shiat.

    without a proper NoScript solution, all other browsers fail. FF is a bloated beastly browser, but can't live without NoScript anymore.

  12. Re:Uh oh. on Juror's Tweets Overturn Trial Verdict · · Score: 1

    Beating up a homosexual is the same as beating up a heterosexual under the 14th amendment(battery is battery), but hate crime laws see the crime as unequal, which is a prima facie violation of the Equal Protections Clause of the 14th amendment.

    Derp.

  14. Re:Uh oh. on Juror's Tweets Overturn Trial Verdict · · Score: 1

    Just because I disagree with a law doesn't mean I should use nullification to disrupt the legal process. I think jury nullification is properly used in a setting where someone's rights are being trampled on, like I feel hate crime laws are in violation of the 14th amendment(as an easy example of something that violates the equal protection clause on its face).

  15. Re:Uh oh. on Juror's Tweets Overturn Trial Verdict · · Score: 1

    Which is why I said dealers, not people caught on possession(that doesn't even go to court in most locales). Dealers and violence go hand in hand.

  16. Re:Uh oh. on Juror's Tweets Overturn Trial Verdict · · Score: 1

    Yes, but people on the internet argue for jury nullification for drug dealers and the like, because marijuana being illegal is a "crime" itself.

    John Scalzi posts on various Slashdot-esque websites and forums. I'm pretty sure he still sells books.

  22. Re:If I were an author ... on Google To Seek Dismissal of Suit Against Google Books · · Score: 1, Interesting

    You have no right to full-text searches of books. Yea, it's great. Awesome, really. It helps a ton with research of all kinds, or just finding that quote in a particular book or set of books, but this is something that should most likely be part of a licensed database. People pay good money for access to databases to search published journals. This is of the same class.

    Doesn't matter how you comprehend it. Matters how the law does, and considering the accusation, it would be rape in Sweden.
