Right, but a computer designed custom protein would be an unknown. If they don't know to test for it, it would probably be overlooked. And theres the possibilty that a custom designed protein could be tailored specifically to you, such that we can all eat the food, and only you get affected, such as by interfering with your meds if you have any. Delivery is fairly easy. I'd put the difficulty on the getting away with it part.
Oh no, thats not the logic. It's about protecting you from yourself. after all, you simply cannot be trusted with your baser instincts. they must be managed by an outside entity. for your well being. you dont know yourself well enough to know your emotional or physical needs, nor can you be trusted with the responsibilty of personal choice. Trust us. Its for the best.
it just always seems to happen to em the moment before it really matters, with no time to spin or back it off, or what have you.
its like the trope of the cop who says hes just days away frm retirement. and similar to the obligatory XKCD ( http://xkcd.com/1113/ ) im surprised more politicians, or their handlers, dont lock them away in a secure room without contact to the outside world in the day or two before the election, considering this just keeps happening.
of coure, its still endlessly amusing from where i sit.
tried the cleartype settings. they move it around, but it doesnt go away. tried disabling too.
the only solution i havent tried yet after reading countless forums over the space about 3 weeks when i first built the htpc (year ago now) was getting into the TV's service menu. because no one seems to know how to do it for my model tv. thats when i said screw it, hooked up a DVI cable to the Tv's DVI port, and isntalled AnyDVD to get around the drm chain for bluerays.
Also never said it was the tv. in fact pretty sure i stated that in the course of troubleshooting, the tv was eliminated as the source of the problem.
If its not the HDMI encoder how come......it happens on multiple tvs, including a friends who's works with HDMI...doesnt happen with the other video outs...doesnt happen with graphical text (and i know im not explaining that well, but if you read hte original post, it clearly illustrates where it happens with actual text, and not text in an image)...doesnt go away with ClearType settings
etc etc etc. whatever. this is stupid. i am apparently the first person in the history of/. to encounter this common issue
there is no config on teh tv to change,and again, those configs affect the entire image. there is no config on the computer that affects it.
if it was software (Windows 7) it should affect all Win7 users driving an HDMI. if it was the Tv calirbation it should affect the entire image. if it was a config option, someone somewhere would have foudn the solution and posted it.
my best theory is, as i said, the specific encoder implementation being used on my computers hardware for the HDMI port. again, not new to this, and my other computer works fine with its HDMI (but its not my home theater one, so its not terribly relvent, other than that i used a different brand motherbaord in it)
its Windows 7. what its doing under the hood there, I dont know. as for the other, again, sharpness would affect the entire image. i repeat, its only font text that is affected. Everything else, including graphic text, is fine.
addendum on myself: those images are rather zoomed in (And not mine), but when you actually see it, its very jarring. The text is wavering in color, the fonts lose all smoothness. No TV calibration or adjustment will correct it. it is 100% in the HDMI encoder and how it handles font text.
google HTPC HDMI text. ist quite common. there's various workarounds, of varying quality, depending on your equipment, but most of them end up breaking the DRM chain. which means bluerays wont play from the HTPC...which is kinda counterproductive.
thus using the DVI port + AnyDVD to ignore the DRM chain entirely becomes the easiest solution.
Never said it was the cable. Where int eh hell did you get that from? Nor is the Tv, because if the TV was mangling anything it should be present uniformly in the entire signal. Not just in text. Its the HDMI encoder itself. And it's a known problem with displaying font text via HDMI (text thats been stored graphically is fine).
Nope. Known issue with HDMI. Has nothing to do with any of those things. Note that everything else is fine, including "text" that is a graphic (ie, in a jpg). It's only text from a font, such as in a web browser or notepad or word.
it can even be demonstrated using Paint: -Make new image -Use the Text Tool -Text you enter is fuzzy in the entry box -Once its become part of the picture it's no longer fuzzy
For whatever reason, text over an HDMI from a computer doesnt display text clearly. text in pictures (so its a graphic) is fine. but actual text, like say notepad, or message/titles boxes, or in a browser, is fuzzy. its not sharp, or clean, or even a solid color.
again, you're conflating those who say one thing now with those who said another thing before, in order to put a left/right them/us spin on it. most of the people saying one thing now, said the same thing before. most of us actualyl have principles that we stick to (not counting politicians)
Uh, Syria was until quite recently one of our supporters in the region. We've had generally decent to good relations with the Assad regime. It cooled a bit since he started killing his people, but we tend to take a dim view of those who would kill their people because they started talkng democracy.

this could get legally interesting fast considering you dont own the airspace above your land, beyond a threshold value.
this explains the current status pretty well.

What I dont quite understand is how they avoid being considered a "bank", cause its always seemed like they should be.

Do politicians repeatedly insist on inserting their feet into their mouths hours before an election?
unfortunately i tried those. i spent nearly 3 weeks off and on before giving up on it.
happens with cleartype disabled ...
doesnt happen with anything except HDMI.
happens with it off too. tried that too.
tried the cleartype settings. they move it around, but it doesnt go away.

Ya, its totally all in my mind.

Because I TOTALLY NEVER TRIED THAT.
Oh wait I did.
I also troubleshoot for a living. It's not hard to localize the issue. It's in the HDMI encoding. Most likely in the chip used by my motherboard.
You get the hell of /.
rofl. modded troll. thats hilarious.
i must be the first person in the entirety of /. history to ever see this extremely common issue.

the newsworthiness isnt the patent itself. its the obvious nature and blatant abuse of the patent system that is the newsworthy aspect.
the correct usage in this case is "all y'all"

You obviously havent tried to do it.
