  1. He's got some points on Alex Chiu on Science, Religion, and Politics · · Score: 1

    A lot of (older) scientists were though of as idiots in there time - the world is round, evolution, etc. Not saying Alex is right, but we (the human race as a whole) should think about that.

  2. Re:hmm I think I suggested doing something like th on DSLBlaster? · · Score: 1

    Here's the problem: The switches are digital. "Digital Quality" isnt always good - "Digital Quality" in phone terms is 8kHz 8bit. Also, phone lines (in general) cant go any higher than 4kHz frequencies - from load coils to keep lines from having too much capicatance. Load coils also kill DSL - DSL is above the 4kHz band limit - but you put the filters in your OWN house instead of on the lines on the poles.

    With phone, it's rather easy. 1-800 numbers can be: National, State only, or National (But not the originating state).

    Usually, the filter is granite, water (he used water), "heavy water" or deutrium water, or even heavier water, tritrium water.

  11. hmm on Gaming Companies Being Sued Over Columbine · · Score: 1

    Dont rate this as flamebait, but think about it Maybe its not the games? Maybe its people like this who destroy the integrity and freedom we should all have. These businesses are simply trying to get ahead. Its called Capitalism. I hope the game companies win.

    I think that it is because JEDEC's policy was that member corporations HAD to inform the JEDEC companies about their applications as soon as they were applied for. Rambus never did.

  19. Re:A difficult position on AOL Censor Tells Most If Not All · · Score: 1

    As a teen myself, It seems the MPAA has increased strength of ratings. For instance - 3 "fucks" in a movie can give it an instant R. I mean, sure, South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut was a BIT RAW, but it hasn't made me less of a person. With cable, parent leaves house, switch to the porn, or whatever. With this nice little filter software my school has (My mother trusts me enough as that the computer is MINE, in MY room.), I can't even visit a site that HAS the word "bitch" in it, Trying to read Forum2000. Fact is, it's NOT going to hurt your kid. I grew up, pretty much setting my own limits. "Go your own way, be responsible," my mom said. My dad did exactly the opposite, controlling everything I do. Please, for the love of God, don't oppress your kids. What are they going to do when they're adults and don't know the first thing about the real world?

  23. Re:The "Windows snapshot" is FUD... on Alan Cox on a Chip · · Score: 1

    Actually, i can say quite the opposite. The ONLY time i've EVER seen a Win2k BSoD is when i toppled my case over and the CPU (Slot1 Celery) popped out of the loose socket. On Linux, if i try to even THINK of using my sound card, panic.

  24. Re:Why a lawsuit ? on Legal Action Against Censorware? · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure he's talking public school. If your in one public school district, you cant just go to another without living in it. I checked. If you REALLY want to, you can pay the $6500 a year tuition to switch districts!

  25. Re:What to do... on Legal Action Against Censorware? · · Score: 1
    First, if you are under 18, there's nothing you can do in the courts. And even if you're over 18, you can guarantee that the school isn't going to take you seriously. They will listen to your parents, teachers, the public, and the press.

    Actually, once you're over 12, you can file a civil lawsuit. I just recently had to do it. I moved out of my dad's, and he actually came to the school and stole a lot of my stuff. I won. Without a lawyer.
