  1. Re:Does the data reflect tires slipping on ice? on What a Black Box Data Dump Looks Like · · Score: 1

    http://www.boston.com/Boston/politicalintelligence/2012/01/gov-tim-murray-traveling-mph-time-nov-crash-fell-asleep-the-wheel/xb4PPxUcuG2PM4QzsS8lNJ/index.html You're wrong. He SHOULD be dead from the crash based on how fast he was going, but he miraculously was unhurt. It is still surmised he fell asleep at the wheel, but that has not been proven...

  2. Re:Author Misidentifies Core Problems with SOPA on Why Politicians Should Never Make Laws About Technology · · Score: 2

    We may not end up in a doomsday scenario, but the overhead of SOPA builds a strong framework ripe for abuse. I feel it is a better idea to draw the line now and say no regulation before a monster like SOPA is passed and we have to see our rights whittled away case after case. Leave the Internet open and place the burden on the content producers to build a FAIR framework for anti-piracy if they want one. The current model plus SOPA will place huge financial burden on people even in "fair use" cases. It is an unfair battle for all but the content owners. This is a greedy, money-making model built by the companies with money to twist the Internet to their ends. Say no with your dollars and to your congressmen before we lose control of our Internet freedoms.

  3. If the fuel cell is round... on Apple Files Patent For Fuel Cell Laptops · · Score: 1

    Then Apple will have both Rectangles and circles patented! Other manufacturers will have to resort to really odd shapes for everything eventually!

  4. Re:Linux Driver State? on AMD Radeon HD 7970 Launched, Fastest GPU Tested · · Score: 1

    I run Debian and Scientific Linux, and have used the Driver installer from AMD's page to configure the proprietary driver on both with no problems. My home desktop has an ATI 5770 running triple headed on Debian Squeeze and has been flawless and stable for over a year. The drivers are fine, IMHO.

  5. HOT PRINTER SALE! on Printers Could Be the Next Attack Vector · · Score: 1
  6. Re:Amazing on AMD Layoffs Maul Marketing, PR Departments · · Score: 1

    And they recently took the world's fastest processor record for Guinness, I believe. They used liquid helium cooling at -220 C... The actual chip and package are made to withstand high clock speeds and tortuous conditions. They are gonna tune these and make them faster. They need their R & D team to make better sense of their instruction set implementation. That's where Intel is killing them in Ops/second... I still have hopes for AMD, 'cuz competition is good for us, but I use Intel right now...

  7. Re:This was back when they were a seperate company on AMD Layoffs Maul Marketing, PR Departments · · Score: 1

    And Linux Support came. And Eyefinity rocks. AMD is finally ok with me :)

  8. Re:Flamebait much ? on Fedora Aims To Simplify Linux Filesystem · · Score: 1

    I thought sbin stood for static binaries. The ones that a system needs at its core when other things fail... All the core components of the operating system are stored there..

  9. Re:If it ain't fix on Fedora Aims To Simplify Linux Filesystem · · Score: 1

    I hope that Fedora's new filesystem structure separate all the 64-bit libraries into /system and the 32-bit libraries into /system32!

  10. Don't forget on Ubuntu Heads To Smartphones, and Tablets · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about the new users lounge, where the most active topic is "I chmod 777 my home directory and now I can't unlock my phone. Even when it's ringing..."

  11. Slippery Slope... on Ubuntu Heads To Smartphones, and Tablets · · Score: 1

    And then to stop the fracturing of the operating system, Canonical will hold back release of source code...

  12. Re:Good news - Android minus Google's crippleware. on Ubuntu Heads To Smartphones, and Tablets · · Score: 1

    Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x4007fc13 in _IO_getline_info () from /linus/proc/anger

  13. Re:spread the pain on Ubuntu Heads To Smartphones, and Tablets · · Score: 1

    That doesn't mean they are gonna give up on Linux. They are gonna keep on adding stupid crap and make it more "Windowsy", right? 'Cuz that's just what Linux needs...

  14. Re:Unity's table look and feel on Ubuntu Heads To Smartphones, and Tablets · · Score: 1

    I have the same feel from Gnome 3. It would make a slick, beautiful, minimalist tablet interface. I like it... Windows take the whole screen without the clunky Unity dockbar in the way whenever you move the cursor too close...

  15. Re:3.11 on Linux 3.1 Released With Support for the OpenRISC CPU · · Score: 1

    Will Mosaic work on that? If it doesn't I might have to hold out for Linux 95... Rumor is it will be 32-bit...
