  1. Re:Sodium Fluoride on Tennessee Official: Water Complaints Could be "Act of Terrorism" · · Score: 1

    This crap is put in bottled water too, and there are no requirements of putting it on the label.

    Yes, because God forbid people should have the chance to grow up with all their teeth. Moron.

    Do you think you have better oral health than people in the rest of the world where fluoridation is mostly non-existant? Do you think people in f.ex Sweden and Norway have bad teeth? Do you think you don't get enough fluoride from your tooth paste, so that you must also swallow it and wash yourself in it to get strong teeth, which is where most of it goes? You seem to be a brainwashed sheep and an absolute moron yourself to be honest.

    My statement is correct; you get what I mean.

    Everyone will have their daily forced medication of sodium fluoride. No complaints are allowed!

  5. What happened? on The Return of Surveillance Camera Man · · Score: 1

    What has happened in society and culture that makes people angry, offended, upset and aggressive when being filmed? There was a video buzzing on the Internet recently taken about 20-25 years ago in a 7-Eleven store, and people where smiling, joking, excited and happy to be on camera. WHAT HAPPENED???

  6. Development? on Attackers Tweet As They Assault UN Development Program Compound · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    More like the UN Perpetual Conflict and Dependency Program, but that's the way the Order wants it. Africa will never be allowed to rise up as a super power.

  7. Amazing on China Bumps US Out of First Place For Fastest Supercomptuer · · Score: 1

    That is amazing. And 2 years ahead of schedule! The Chinese are at the absolute forefront of technological innovation this decade.

  8. Rare on Google Aims To Cull Child Porn By Algorithm, Not Human Review · · Score: 1

    In my 15 years on the Internet I've seen A LOT of nude imagery, but never ONCE come across child pornography. I get the feeling it's extremely rare, and the people who do find it spend a lot of hard time actually digging it up. What has happened now that urges Google to find new ways of combatting CP? Is there a sudden increase in posting of CP on public, easily accessed and indexed adult web sites?

  9. Ok.

    These posts.. people in their 40's or 50's who have no idea how to live their lives, and have to ask others what to do with spare time. How life? Do you also need help with go toilet and do poopy?

    I'm off Windows on my laptop because I think Max OS X is the best operating system for regular use, and I'm on Windows on the desktop because of a few games I still can't get for the Mac.

  16. Re:How does this compare on Intel Haswell CPUs Debut, Put To the Test · · Score: 1

    It's in part 11 - IGP Performance: AMD A10 (Radeon HD 7660D) is up to 20% ahead of the new Intel (Intel HD 4600) in graphics performance. When you factor in external graphics boards, or tests which are CPU-bound, you get different results.

  17. AMD still a winner on Intel Haswell CPUs Debut, Put To the Test · · Score: 0

    Intel do have the big, raw CPU power, but I think that's not something the majority of desktop users care about. AMD A10 still beats the new Intel on graphics, which is probably not key to most desktop users, but the price is: 4 out of 5 desktop users have all their CPU and GPU needs covered in the AMD A-series, at half or even one third the price of the equivalent Intel. This is the key: if you go AMD you save lots of money.

  18. Re:How does this compare on Intel Haswell CPUs Debut, Put To the Test · · Score: 0

    You can't factor in external graphics boards for this comparison, and AMD A10 still beats the new Intel on graphics.

  19. Re:Graphics.. on Intel Haswell CPUs Debut, Put To the Test · · Score: 0

    You've misinterpreted the benchmarks, or read the wrong ones. Look at 11 - IGP performance: the AMD A10 still beats the new Intel in graphics performance, and it does so at half the price.

  20. Re:FTA on Oculus VR Co-founder Andrew Reisse Killed In Auto Collision · · Score: 1

    So unless you expect everyone to walk dozens of miles its not like there is much of a choice friend.

    It's interesting that your reply and those above all mention how poor public transport is, but none mention lack of bicycle lanes. I don't think it's because there are none or because it's not viable, but because most of you don't want to; why should I have to use my legs to get somewhere when I can just drive?

    I understand the infrastructure in some parts of the USA is not wrapped up in bicycle lanes like in the Netherlands, but in a city environment there's certainly a lot of opportunity to travel by bicycle instead of car, but again - many of you just don't want to.

  21. Re:FTA on Oculus VR Co-founder Andrew Reisse Killed In Auto Collision · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Cars don't kill people, people kill people.

    Sure, but no one is out on the streets to kill people with their car, yet people get hit and die, and if you take X * 4000lbs of travelling metal out of the equations of a city, there will be fewer deaths, among other benefits. Motor vehicles should really be reserved for when they're actually needed. Not that it would matter in this case, but you get me.

  22. Perhaps not as space efficient, but I'm thinking a dome-shaped building with strong anchoring would be excellent. The winds would just caress over it, with nothing to grab hold of.

    Great, now we will be a nation of insomnaics. The new electrowetting displays will be even brighter and worse. I'm beginning to wonder if it affects me and will be talking to my sleep doctor about it next visit.

    You need to lower the color temperature of the screen, and the lighting in your home as well, in the evenings to get rid of the sharp blue light, and your eyes will be less stressed out. Programs like F.Lux that do this automatically have worked great for me.

  24. No more antialiasing on 4K Computer Monitors Are Coming (But Still Pricey) · · Score: 2

    What I find interesting about these high resolutions, is that while they're unnecessary for many things, there are also many graphics techniques such as antialiasing, cleartype, perhaps noise filters etc. that will in many cases no longer be necessary. At these high resolutions, when viewed directly on a single screen, you can't make out individual pixels and jagged edges.

  25. Re:Propaganda on Chinese Hackers Steal Top US Weapons Designs · · Score: 1

    Let me answer that with a question: where's the evidence to the original assertion, that the Chinese have stolen weapon designs? There is nothing conclusive, and so it is propaganda and beating on the war-drums. As usual.
