  1. Re:Ah, central planning. on Aderall Or Nothing: Anatomy of the Great Amphetamine Drought · · Score: 2

    You kid, but my girlfriend is a newly diagnosed narcoleptic she's tried about 5 different drugs to treat it. Aderall is the only one so far that works & doesn't have side effects nor make her feel horrible when it's wearing off. Only problem is she can't get it anywhere around here.

    Because of the DEA.

    I did the same with an LG Neon. Damn thing wouldn't even stay on. Thankfully I found the cellphone that I had lost a week previous, which was the reason I bought that POS to start with.

    There are usually zero conditions upon this easement, nor it it taxed.

    That simply isn't true. When we (the company I work for) are designing networks we have to figure out cable footage for billing & tax purposes. I know for absolute certain that AT&T pays easement taxes in Florida. The cables even have a taxid in their fiber management systems.

    I read on the Elemental forums that Stardock will be remaking Stardock Central (the precursor to Impulse) to distribute their future games. Kinda an odd move I thought.

    Not that I play Madden, but my PC is attached to a 46" HDTV & I have a USB connector for a PS2 gamepad (to play Shank as of late), so I'm not sure where you were trying to go with your reply.

    Is Madden console exclusive now?

    Steam for example will auto update your graphic card drivers for you making it as user friendly as consoles in many respects.

    More recent versions of Nvidia's Windows drivers will do this as well.

  15. Re:PC gaming on Ubisoft Has Windows-Style Hardware-Based DRM For Games · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The ability to mod games & to use a mouse & keyboard are the main reasons I'll never bother with a console.

    That being said, I swore off Ubisoft sometime after they ruined the Might & Magic franchise.

    I'm for a ban against texting while driving and talking on a cell phone....

    Me too but only if the police are held to it as well. No exceptions for emergency personnel, they can use their radio if they need to communicate.

    That makes sense.

  19. Re:Ready, fire, aim on Anonymous Threatens Robin Hood Attacks Against Banks · · Score: 1

    No. 1 is a pipe dream. You are not going to get the money out of politics, nor should you. How is a candidate going to get his message out without money?

    1.) Most other countries (Britain, Australia, etc) get by just fine. Maybe you misunderstood the statement?

    No.2 is just blame shifting. The crises was not caused by bankers taking risks, it was caused by people taking loans they could not afford and then defaulting on them.

    2.) Giving people loans that they may or may not be able to repay is the very definition of a bank taking risk. That is the bank's job & responsibility. Due diligence and all that.

    No 3. is just bizarre. Little-known loophole? What is the loophole?

    3.) The little known loophole that allows congresscritters to legally do inside trading. There is legislation being drafted right now so it can be closed. It's been all over the news for the past two weeks. Commenting on something we know nothing about, are we?

    OWS Goals

    "The mainstream media was declaring continually "OWS has no message". Frustrated, I simply asked them. I began soliciting online "What is it you want?" answers from Occupy. In the first 15 minutes, I received 100 answers. These were truly eye-opening.

    The No 1 agenda item: get the money out of politics. Most often cited was legislation to blunt the effect of the Citizens United ruling, which lets boundless sums enter the campaign process.

    No 2: reform the banking system to prevent fraud and manipulation, with the most frequent item being to restore the Glass-Steagall Act – the Depression-era law, done away with by President Clinton, that separates investment banks from commercial banks. This law would correct the conditions for the recent crisis, as investment banks could not take risks for profit that create fake derivatives out of thin air, and wipe out the commercial and savings banks.

    No 3 was the most clarifying: draft laws against the little-known loophole that currently allows members of Congress to pass legislation affecting Delaware-based corporations in which they themselves are investors. "

    I think they're claiming that showing information based on a fairly specific location is new - not the locating itself. Of course, all the ad networks going back to the 90's use IP-based geo-location.

    It's not though, GIS has been doing this for many years. The *ONLY* difference is whether you are at said location or not.

    If waterbed patents can be thrown out due to prior art in a sci-fi book, I don't see why prior art in a sci-fi movie would be any less valid.
