  1. Re:Privacy not a concern for citizens on Google Report Shows Governments Want More Private Data · · Score: 1

    The younger generations do not view privacy in the same light as previous ones. It's just not something that is important to them anymore, mainly because they never had it to begin with I suppose.

    Best post in the thread so far hands down.

    The simple fact is that if the ISP's would re-invest into their infrastructure they would be doing everyone a great service (themselves included), but instead they seem to be pissing away the profits and doing nothing really for their customers other than jacking up the prices for the same basic service. Of course there is absolutely zero incentive for them to do so in most markets since most have a utility style monopoly.

    Sir Sir Sir, lets not confuse this "Take my gun from my cold dead hands" rant-a-thon with facts and reason, that's not the millieu of the NRA hysteria machine. I mean if we make guns illegal, only criminals will have guns. Never mind that would make it a lot easier to tell who the are the actual criminals.

    Excuse me sir I believe the term you're looking for is Bullet-dealie-em-holder-uppers. It's an easy mistake to make.

    A very common process during semiconductor manufacture is Boron Doping using high energy electron implantation. This is also currently done in many silicone wafer manufacturing processes, pre semiconductor start. The insulation issue was already addressed before the idea of diamond wafer manufacture was though of if that is what you were getting at.

    Not to mention that a single crystal diamond wafer would be an ideal medium for semiconductor manufacture due to it's high heat resistance and general durability.

    The majority of people in Idaho live in or around the Boise area you ignorant fuck. We're not all hillbillies. I'm not saying that our legislature doesn't comprise a good portion of ignorant hicks doing what ignorant hicks do, but there are some sensible people here too trying to get somethings changed for the better, especially for our children. It's just really hard to do when you have a republican stranglehold on EVERY conceivable state government outlet.

    This brings into question whether you have a fundamental right to the internet and related network communications and whether that is actually "assembling" in the protected sense. While I do agree that it is a bit cruel and probably unnecessary, is it really much different than not allowing RSO's to go hang out at Chuck E. Cheese, or live near elementary schools. Is it shitty, yes it is, is it a human rights violation? I'm not so sure.

  15. Re:This will obviously help. on New York Culls Sex Offenders From the Online Gaming Ranks · · Score: 1

    That is an excellent point. Many people have brought it up in the comments here that RSO's are unfairly subjected to constraints that many other offenders are not subjected to. Habitual shoplifters can still go in Wally etc. I think it is the nature of the category of their offense that makes people allow this kind of treatment of offenders. Really if the people have done their jail time why are they still having to conform to a system that is penalizing them considering they have supposedly paid their debt to society? I still don't think it's a human rights issue though.

    I never stated any statistical significance. I never said there were only 3 cases either. I provided 3 links that point to articles that point out that "sexual offenses" are not always pedophiles or rapists. Since you're so bad at reading and good at making assumptions, why don't you go drink some bleach. No quotes, literally, go drink some bleach.

    How is any of that really a human rights violation though. You don't have a fundamental right to slay dragons or shoot other people in a virtual world, those are first world conveniences. I'm not saying it's not completely dick, but its far from a human rights violation.

    Now this is an interesting point. Many online games require a subscription fee. Now if you're paying a fee for the subscription shouldn't it really be up to the company that maintains the environment to determine who can and will associate? Its not a public meeting place but a private one, how does this work out as a definition of freedom of assembly?

    I'm curious to see your reasoning for that. I'm kind of swiss on this whole issue, but I want to know exactly how kicking someone off of an online game is a violation of their fundamental rights as a human being.

    This is the most accurate post here so far. You need to make sure that you are getting a good card manufacturer more than the chipset designer. The chipset is only as good as the cards they are bundled with.
