This DTV shit is for the birds, even with an external antenna and an amplifier the best I can get is 2 seconds of video with unsynced sound before the garbage freezes up for 15 seconds. Thanks Bush, sunk a hundred bucks into your bullshit little boxes and ended up getting fucking cable anyway so I can watch the god damned local news.
jesus you are (there fucking happy) making a big fucking deal out of something that took less than a second to spit out. I did not know that I was being graded by some doofy comment on slashdot, sure as fuck my employer doesn't see this, the misuse of one contraction might hinder my ability to design electronics
no its not, and that is a major problem with the entire system, its supposed to be when flunky Johnny simply cant work any more he wont starve to death at age 80 while living in a cardboard box.
somehow the old farts in this country demand and expect that after putting in a fraction of their 60$ a week paycheck in 1973 they are entitled to thousands a month today for them to live on in retirement, but again its not, its a safety net that everyone abuses.
and cry me a river, I remember being told as young grade school the shit wont be there when I get old enough, so I have been planning my retirement since I started working in the mid 90's, sorry if you did not get the memo maybe you should have cut back on pizza night yourself instead of depending on a welfare system to glide you though retirement.
I never said its morally inferior to helping America, but America really should be helping Americans first. As an American who is scraping up pennies to pay rent and having to make long term budgets in order to buy toilet paper why should I feel guilty that I would rather see my tax dollars helping me out over helping a billionaire exploit labor in China just so they can bring their junk back to America and fuck me over with a 1000x price increase?
As a fairly regular FOX radio news listener (know thy enemy and all that rot) I can assure you that this IS the tripe they spit out on a daily basis... which is what the parent post stated, not REP vs DEM's.
If nothing else its the more vocal nutters from the TP that are harping every single day that things like extending unemployment during a very high period of unemployment is a terrible thing to do as it encourages dependence, but giving tax breaks to people / companies that already exploit every single loophole in loopholes is a 100% sure fire way to grow the economy.
I am personally somewhere in the middle, yes people do not need to be accustom to a handout, but giving megacorp a break is just going to help Brazil, India and China cause at the end of the day their only goal is to squeeze every single ounce of profit that they possibly can by any means necessary.
I infarct do not use it because I find it unusable, if you have not noticed there is really no middle ground when it comes to these new WM's
People Love it or they dont want to waste their time relearning everything based on a designers whim and feel utterly frustrated while trying to use it instead of getting crap done.

I dont dis them, my dad actually uses them but I switched to hostmonter a long time ago because I could not get them to understand that my FTP access was just plain old not working at all
"No sir its your DSL connection, that is why you cant upload a 18k text file" "No sir our servers are running fine, its your FTP client" "No sir we will not even bother looking into the possibility that there might be something wrong, other people on the same server are experiencing no issues, nevermind they have not uploaded anything via FTP in their entire life"
this went on for quite a few months, at least once a week with them
so now, though I have to pay up front, I enjoy cheaper service, with bigger numbers in the important area's, and after 6 years my only complaint is that my hosting service is not spending my money to come up with a lame Superbowl commercial featuring some money whore out some fad girl no one cares about.
For an "artist" to show up late to the recording studio drunk and stoned off their ass and speak into a mic connected to a protools loop and autotuner. I have been in around the loop quite a few times in recording studios, the only difference tween a pro and the bum on the corner is the ability to not waste tape.
"if you know what a 555 and a shift register are. We're not all engineers"
that amused me to no end, back in the day when people knew how to do stuff for themselves, there was this store called radio shack loaded with electronic goodies... I hear they still exist but every time I step in one I enter a portal to a celphone kiosk at the mall, anyway for a buck you could get this little book written for 12 year old's that had dozens of 555 timer projects in simple terms
funny just tonight after all this time I wanted to look through my history... where the fuck is it? Oh its in that firefox menu that replaces the standard since dawn of windows, window control menu why didnt I think to look there? (cause its never been there before that's why!)
fuck it, firefox,office, chrome? make your own UI's shit make your own WM's too, while we are at it make me choose a sound card in a separate application before I start, then we will right back to DOS sans command line, cause ya know... having to learn fifty fucking UI designs is much simpler than the one we have been using for nearly 30 god damned years right?
so many people think its something else, but the arduino style of progamming is EXACTLY like the parent states, and nothing really stops you from dropping avrgcc functions or asm in the mix

that does not sound nearly as fun as hooking mains up to a loudspeaker
Of course I am still under the "it doesn't exist until I can blow it up my self doing something dumb" crowd but it's making good progress
