    If you honestly think another Republican president is what we need, you don't know shit about Republican presidents. Ford, Reagan, Bush 1, Bush 2, for longer than most slashdotters have been alive, Republican presidents have meant massive budget defecits and massive debt increases. Now, under a Republican president, we're looking at another 700 billion dollars ON TOP OF budgets which make the current president the biggest spender in American history -- a Republican!

    They say reality has a well-known liberal bias. I disagree with this. Reality has a well-known anti-Republican bias. Conservatives have been crying for decades that these spendaholics are going around redefining conservative as "reckless and irresponsible to the point of bankrupting the nation".

    And if you think it'll be any different because it's John McCain, you're an idiot. McCain is running on a platform that's substantially similar to the platform that the spendaholic Bush 2 ran on in 2000. He's ducked his tail between his legs on many positions in order to get the nomination, and once he's behind the desk, he's going to continue to be a weak leader.

  12. Did I miss something? on Nvidia Settles GPU Price-Fixing Antitrust Case · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I must've missed something. Nvidia and ATI GPUs are excellent counterparts, the two most powerful cards available, and if prices are high, it's because nobody else can create a card for less.

    Honestly though, I can buy an amazing video card for less than 100 bucks. I can't buy an equivilent video card from Matrox, S3, Via, or Intel at all, let alone for 100 bucks. How are they fixing prices?

    Not neccessarily. If it's an oem copy of Windows, they'll force you to deal with your vendor, as the EULA tells you. At that point, your vendor may or may not give you a refund, and will probably just bounce you back to MS until you threaten legal action.

  24. Re:Noone likes DRM on Bad Signs For Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    Different words, different meanings. It's like the different version of 'its' or 'their'. The reason it ticks people off so much isn't that the grammar is simply wrong(trust me, if it was just that, half of Slashdot would fail), it's that sentences take on new meanings if they're read properly with the wrong words.

    'your an idiot', for example, seems like a sentence fragment referring to some 'an idiot' that you're accusing someone of owning. Similarly, if you were talking about the Republican party, and said 'their idiots', you might think they're talking about their candidates for the presidency and vice-presidency, where the speaker intended to say "they're idiots", stating that they're all idiots. Further, it would be quite embarrassing to say "there idiots", and appear to be either commanding the reader to look at the idiots, or commanding the idiots to look at something else.

    Seriously? You've got a BA in English Lit. and you can't figure out the difference?

    It's really simple.

    To effect change, you must affect something. the effects of that change will affect you, effectively. Affectively is an archaic word that refers to affection. Effectively Effective is a redundancy. You can Effectively affect change by doing what needs to be done.
