  1. Re:Accusations of pedophilia?!?! on PA Appeals Court Weighs Punishment For Students' Online Parodies · · Score: -1, Troll

    I am so torn over your post. On the one hand you make a compelling and insightful case for the way things should have been handled and yet your spelling is so atrocious I am forced to assume English is not your native language and you don't use a spell checker.

    Oh, and I'm not sure the English teacher would be the correct person to explain the subtle differences of libel and satire. She might know how their definitions differ but a radio shock jock probably knows more about the practical applications.

    My $10 shirts last longer than your HP Inkjet printer. My HP LJ IV OTOH will most likely outlast cockroaches. Too bad hp spun off its braintrust when they figured out they could make more money selling printer ink than test equipment.

    Almost all of Microsoft's "innovation" has come through aquisitions and mergers.

    Microsoft's strategy has been to let some other company prove there is a market for a particular function then buy a competing product and gradually improve it (and modify the OS so that the competitor doesn't run as well) until they take over the market

    Actually the saying I use when my coworkers complain it is too cold in the office but I'm still hot is "You can always add more layers while I have only so many I can take off". That mental image usually shuts them up for a while.

  11. Re:Smart move on Texas Tells Cape Wind "You're Not First Yet" · · Score: 1

    In a word...no. In fact at present Texas doesn't have the GRID infrastructure to get all the electricity that is produced by West Texas wind farms to the cities that need them so electricity is lost every day. There are some very promising storage technologies which could address the issue but they are still years away. The GRID is currently being expanded to address the capacity issue for now and should be coming on-line ~2012. I've talked to several people who work in the Wind Generation department (disclaimer: I work for Nextera Energy Resources the largest generator of wind and solar power in North America) and asked about the storage issue and there doesn't seem to be a good cost effective solution just yet.

    But on February 25, 1809, Jefferson repudiated his earlier view, writing in a letter to Abbé Grégoire:

            Sir,--I have received the favor of your letter of August 17th, and with it the volume you were so kind to send me on the "Literature of Negroes." Be assured that no person living wishes more sincerely than I do, to see a complete refutation of the doubts I have myself entertained and expressed on the grade of understanding allotted to them by nature, and to find that in this respect they are on a par with ourselves. My doubts were the result of personal observation on the limited sphere of my own State, where the opportunity for the development of their genius were not favorable and those of exercising it still less so. I expressed them therefore with great hesitation; but whatever be their degree of talent it is no measure of their rights. Because Sir Isaac Newton was superior to others in understanding, he was not therefore lord of the person or property of others. On this subject they are gaining daily in the opinions of nations, and hopeful advances are making toward their re-establishment on an equal footing with the other colors of the human family. I pray you therefore to accept my thanks for the many instances you have enabled me to observe of respectable intelligence in that race of men, which cannot fail to have effect in hastening the day of their relief; and to be assured of the sentiments of high and just esteem and consideration which I tender to yourself with all sincerity.[91]

  21. Re:Top three recently introduced on What's the Best Way To Get Web Content To My TV? · · Score: 1

    I've had Playon for about a year and have been watching it's progress even longer. The problem likely isn't that they changed something so much as it is HULU probably did. HULU's overseers religiously defend against the ability to get their product from the small screen to the bigger screen and as such make subtle changes periodically that coincidentally happens to break playon's ability to work with HULU. What I like about the company is they work feverishly when these changes happen to get out a patch to fix HULU playback. If you are unhappy about something you can post it to their forum and they will usually respond quickly and if possible work to address your issue.

    I use a PC with PlayOn to stream to my PS3, XBOX 360, Wii, and an XBOX with XBMC. It will actually stream to any device that is DLNA compliant. There is an active plugin group where you can request or submit plugins for different sites. Since I am seeing many of the newer Blu-Ray players come with DLNA baked in I would look for one of those if a gaming console isn't what you have or want.
