  1. Re:Wait... what? on How Nuclear Weapon Modernization Undercuts Disarmament · · Score: 1

    Eliminating the need for a protracted ground war sounds like a very good military reason.

    The ethics are open to debate, but it's nonsensical to claim there was no reason.

    The whole concept is patently stupid.

    Anti-nuclear paranoia in a nutshell.

  3. Re:Know what's worse? Cleartext. on Researchers Find Same RSA Encryption Key Used 28,000 Times · · Score: 2

    WPS never really worked well, with ultra-crummy driver support on the device end.

    Disabling WPS-PIN really is no loss.

    If it's "too meta", it's not well-done.

    The solution is simple. Throw out studies that sound "too meta".

    Clocks are not wrong and the whole 4GB of RAM are accessible.

    If you want to complain about something, at least find something that was really misrepresented.

  7. Re:probably won't go anywhere on Nvidia Faces Suit Over GTX970 Performance Claims · · Score: 1

    No graphics card has "XX FPS minimum in GameY" on the box or in any ad. Only vague promises and concrete data like clocks and RAM.

  8. Re:probably won't go anywhere on Nvidia Faces Suit Over GTX970 Performance Claims · · Score: 1

    Are you claiming not a single site ran their typical suite of benchmarks, instead getting their data from Nvidia?

    Because that is the most asinine conspiracy theory of the month. Sure, there are lazy sites that don't actually review stuff, but that doesn't apply to all.

  9. Re:probably won't go anywhere on Nvidia Faces Suit Over GTX970 Performance Claims · · Score: 1

    They were not promised any performance numbers. They were promised something below the 980... which it is.

    Anything else comes from reviews - including thorough performance testing. The card didn't magically become slower than it was for those reviews.

    Since there isn't enough evidence to disprove H0: A.C. is deluded and is actually addicted, I won't reject it.

    Not everybody who enjoys smoking is an addict, believe it or not. Some people just enjoy an occasional smoke. I'm one of them..

    That what they all say. Doesn't make it true, though.

    Are you implying either one of them isn't more of an OS than DOS ever was?

  14. Re:$1B in new tax revenue! on 2015 Means EU Tax Increase On Cloud Storage, E-books and Smartphone Applications · · Score: 1

    There are several issues here:

    Where should taxation occur? This can be debated, but is not the object of the discussion.

    Police brutality: it's shameful and unacceptable, but it's tangentially related, at best. Claiming that taxation caused it is absurd.

    Tax evasion: he should've been prosecuted for this, no doubt there. Police reaction was shameful, as I've said, but it doesn't make him innocent.

    You are arguing beside the point. Nobody said the cop reacted appropriately and it is frankly irrelevant to the discussion at hand.
    tl;dr - strawman

    Once you realize that Eric Garner was killed over taxes [...] Don't ban cigarettes, tax them.[...]

    Non sequitur. The former is an argument against the latter.

    How is a forced sale different from a tax? Spare the philosophical nonsense, it only serves to waste money. Call it a tax and pay trivially less.

    Don't be a fucking moron. If you buy something, you pay sales tax. This just makes edge cases related to the internet more sensible.
