  1. Re:Anonymous is not government; whack KKK on Hacker Collective Attacks KKK Sites (theepochtimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Why do you say we "need" a female president? How is she more qualified because she has a vagina? That is the definition of sexist right there! If you actually cared about equality you would look at qualifications, values, and character rather than sexual organs.

    You are part of the problem right here. Thinking that we have some sort of "need" to check off some box of certain criteria for a person, female, black, gay, rather than look at the quality of their character or their qualifications to do a job. That is a dangerous game you are playing. Also, curious that you only mentioned black, female, and gay. What is wrong you have something against, hermaphrodites, Brazilians, Chinese, Eskimos, Indians (Native or Asian), Australians, Irish, Colombians, or any others? Why are any of them not deserving of your special qualifying check marks that we are in "need" of achieving?

    The presidency is not an achievements based game of equal opportunity, it is highest level of office for the Executive Branch, now start treating it as such. Skin color, racial makeup, sexual preference, hair color, and underwear choice have nothing to do with it. But the propensity to commit felonies during and in order to make into a public office sure do show the character of the candidate.

  2. Re:White roads & roofs would reduce global war on Bill Clinton Says 'Paint Your Roofs White' · · Score: 1

    While I am all for measures that might help the environment, I would absolutely hate to drive on white roads. How much of that light is now reflected into the eyes of all drivers? Talk about making a dangerous situation much, much worse!

  3. Re:ETFs on Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T on AT&T Cracking Down On Unofficial iPhone Tethering · · Score: 1

    Yep, sure have. They support almost all of the Verizon programmed phones, except Blackberries and iPhones. Check out http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php/364-Page-Plus-Cellular for more information.

  4. Re:When I was 14 on DARPA Open-Sources Military Vehicle Design · · Score: 1

    I'd be worried too if you were growing guns and battle scenes.

  5. Re:Windows on Intel Intros 310 Series Mini SSDs · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Perhaps you don't know that Windows (Vista confirmed, 7 should too) can map a seperate drive to a folder instead of a drive letter, if you tell it to. It is rather easy to do. You can even setup multiple paths for a single drive if you want.

  6. Blu-ray + Streaming Network Shares on Video Appliance For a Large Library On a Network? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I just hooked up a LG BD570 for <$200 that plays Blu-ray discs, Netflix, Vudu, Pandora, other online content, files on a networked CIFS share from a Windows box and has built-in wifi. Only issue I've noticed is that it doesn't play .vob files from a network share.

    I just recently got my FiOS installed and I am quite happy with my "up to" 15/5 connection, here are my results from speakeasy.net speed test:
