    West? US != the "western world"* and AFAIK only the US have the registration + public shaming mechanisms integrated into law.

    As this case isn't just about a sex offence but prostitution of child(ren) I think the individual shouldn't be allowed to "be forgotten".

  5. Re:No - it wasnt useful on Anonymous Goes After Miami Police Officer Who Doxed An Innocent Woman (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Citation needed. As the ACAB crowd is relatively strong on this site I would like confirmation. In short:

    . Did the police (which is the proper name of the profession) text while driving? Were there evidence of that?
    . Did the prosecutor make a decision based on "police privilege"? I find that very unlikely, not having enough evidence is another thing and many people avoid criminal persecution because of weak evidence.

    Having the ability to sue and even settle isn't an indication if the prosecutor could have done a better job. The level of evidence required in a civil proceeding is dramatically lower than that in a criminal case! If the police in question didn't get financial support of some kind then he/she may have settled even when innocent!

    So again: Citation needed.

    USB: complex interface requiring a software stack on both the host and the device.
    PS/2: simple interface, reliable, a few rows of code is all that's needed to interface to the keyboard. The device in turn need very little extra code over the scanning logic.

    When it comes to keyboards and mice the PS/2 interface is generally superior, the reason USB keyboards/mice are used nowadays is that USB is the standard interface.

    TL;DR in almost all cases PS/2 is superior to USB for keyboard/mouse interfacing.

    Oh tell me vise one, how many years experience in HDD manufacturing do you have?

    Calling one of the most advanced technologies existing in this world "spinning rust" tells me 0 knowledge which would make you a loud-mouthed know-it-all asshole. The lack of insight in that HDDs is a leading storage technology with several advantages (including economics) over SDDs just reinforce that.

    But if your clueless rant makes you feel better that you haven't (and will not) reach a comparable position then I guess it is worth something. Just not for others.

    IIRC (was a while since I last saw an answer to that question) it wouldn't make economic sense as making two HDDs would cost about the same and would perform as good or better. Also the combined unit would be more sensitive to a headcrash.

    Allah = God in Arabic. Christian that speak Arabic call their God Allah as do believers of other religions that believe in a god and also happens to speak Arabic.
    The word was used before Islam was created BTW.

    Even that is over simplified as exemplified in Malaysia where the word come into general usage even though the native language isn't Arabic.

    In short: your correction isn't one.

Your sexuality isn't relevant, nor is your age, shoe sizes, color of your eyes (or skin for that matter). If it _was_ relevant to the topic if wouldn't complain nor care (or care more if it _really_ was relevant like discussing discrimination etc.).

    Just replace "I'm a gay man ..." with "I'm a black man ...", "I'm a girl ...", "I'm a fan of snakeskin boots ...", "I'm 1'6" and ...", "I'm a monster truck fan ...", "I wear only striped pants " etc.

  23. Im not saying you are wrong, im saying you are an asshole

    I'm a gay man who has wanted to live in SF for a couple of decades but never could afford it; that is, I could actually have paid for it out of my salary, but it would have cut sharply into my retirement savings, so I didn't do it. SF has been an expensive place for many decades, and you either have to be rich or foolish to live there.

    Here is a nice example of what I complained about yesterday: people that like to push irrelevant facts like their gender, sexuality, skin color, political leaning etc. into things where it ISN*T BLOODY RELEVANT!
    For that: FOAD shithead.

    The "assholes" are people like you and her who think that someone fresh out of college, with no marketable skills, somehow deserves their own apartment in San Francisco without roommates. Screw you and your selfish greed.

    I think your brain doesn't work very well - perhaps that why you can't afford to live in SF.

    See I can insult people too! The difference is that my insult actually may be relevant...
