You are a shining example of why we have the 1st Ammendment. You have no evidence to support your world view and yet your willing to _FORCE_ people (ie by force, gunpoint if neccesary - which is what passing a law really is) to conform to _YOUR_ worldview. You are an intolerant homophobic fascist by your own demonstration.
We have the Constitution to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority - the entire homosexuality issue is a shining example of why we have the constitution, and every day I see people like you trying to bypass it, or pervert it (FMA).
I respect your right for you to be a intolerant homophobic fascist theistic bigot even if I don't respect you for having that opinion -- you are infavor of not respecting otherpeoples rights, so give me a reason why I should continue to respect yours?
(However, I will continue to do so on the principle of rights)
BTW: attempts to demonize secular humanism are a clear demonstration that you are a limbaugh-republicanist and have been deceived by the massive propraganda of the christian fundamentalist movement in america. I highly recommend that you IMMEDIATELY reconsider your position ---- and everyone should read "The Fundamentals of Extremism"

The point of my comment about when I was programming from: A shot at his galatic ego which needs to be deflated
Read further into the thread on Avault where he made his announcement - like where he flames me after I politely told him we wouldn't accept anything from him.
Hello, I am also a Derek - Derek Meek, aka "Kazan" amongst just about everyone who knows me online. I am the project leader of Ferrium (the game engine project), and the Network programmer for the FreeSpace 2: Source Code project (i also do other various things for the SCP).
So Mr. Smart posted his message asking if we were interested I stated simply and calmly "We will not accept anything from you, sorry but your work in the past has been less than impressive." (not an exact quote, but very close). He then proceeded to insult me in very childlike fashion, and I calmly corrected him on all his misinformation.
That's when he threatend unfounded legal action by saying (direct quiote) "Let me assure you of one thing that you can go to sleep with tonite. I have FULL intentions of getting this license. If I DO get it, you and your teenny leetle friends on your Ferrous Oxide project, are effectively, shutdown because I don't piss around when it comes to IP properties. You would do well to ask around. I've sued publishers for less and I have attorneys around the world, literally on speed dial."
This legal threat is laughable when it comes to the Source Code Project. The intellectual property he may be acquiring from Interplay does not include the rights tot he source code - they belong to Volition, Inc. and we have an unlimited license to do what we want with the source as long as we don't make money of it. Furthermore any game content we distribute is protected by the laws protecting fan fiction.
When it comes to my project, Ferrium, they're downright laughable! Ferrium is a completely new game engine I'm designing from scratch and having members of the community right the code for. Neither Interplay or Volition have any claim to the intellectual property therein.
This seems to be very typical of him from everything that i've heard of him.

AMD-compatable motherboards now have circuitry that instantly shuts the system off if the temp goes above so much - prevents being fried by no heatsink (and yes I have toasted a processor that way *grimmace*)
While Intel has the 800Mhz FSB chips - they cost around $1000. Furthermore AMD has a vast lead in 64bit home computing with their x86-64 instruction set which became so popular intel dropped their competition and adopted the instruction set.
I didn't know about the lack of idle - however running at full clock rate and not doing anything doesn't really expend much more energy theorectically - because CMOS gates only consume energy during transitions
First It comes out that Intel's making Dual Core Prescotts what would do better as hotplates than processors, and now they're announcing that they're preventing you from overclocking?
Will someone PLEASE remind me of Why I would ever pay $499 for a Pentium 4 3.4Ghz Prescot, or $990 for an 800Mhz 2MB Extreme? I can hop over to AMD and get a better processor for less, and to boot I can overclock it if I want!
Are you trying to be funny with the Leibnitz notation, or did you not know that would be Leibnitz notation for the derivative of the function DVD over the Deriviative of X
Modder processors use MOSFET transitors in CMOS arrays (Complimentary PMOS and NMOS networks in each gate)
This which means the only time power is expended (And therefore heat created) is when a gate transisions (if a gate stays the same across multiple clocks heat is only produced at the transition into that state).
So the more clock cycles you have the more often it's probably going to be switching states - each gate creates miniscule heat and power dissipation, but there are a lot of gates.
It is true that if you have two cores you have twice the heat - but that heat is also spread out across twice the area, less concentrated heate is easier to cool. Why do you think heatsinks spread the heat out all over the place.
A dual core processor running at 2Ghz would be roughly equivilient to a single core at 4Ghz - so the demand on clock rate increase is reduced and heat created/time is lower.

I write webpages for a living, and I work with stylesheets every bloody day. My stylesheets work on Mozilla (Windows, Linux, Mac OS/X), Netscape (Win, Lin, Mac), Opera (Win), IE (Win, Mac) - all with the same stylesheet! When there is a rendering error it's so trivial that it doesn't degrade from the webpage.
oh yeah my stylesheets are css2 compliant
All those clever tricks that I could have used that I was forbidden from. My prof warned me off from using pretty much every useful performance trick in my book. (Pointer arithmetic array traversal, etc).
I got a 5 on both the A and the AB tests back in teh day (when they were both in C++, I took them two years apart). I made comments in my free responses about how it would be more efficient to do things in a certain way
Those issues are so minor in comparision to the real issues that you can be counted as one of those they've successfully bait-and-switched.
Abortion: they're stance is due to the fact they've never achieved (incoming psychology jargon) Post-conventional moral thinking. They are stuck in terms of black-and-white, mere children in comparision to those who reach Post-conventional, but sadly most adults never reach post-conventional.
Gay Marriage: post-conventional moral thinking + inerrant literal interpretation of religious documents both merely justifing prejudice
You still only see the SURFACE - not the motiviations.
Read "The Fundamentals of Extremism"
Those Christians who are not FUNDAMENTALISTS - You are not the christian Right, you are just christian. While I think you're deluded you're not an international security threat right now.
For those of you who deny that the Christian Right exists - read "The Fundamentals of Extremism", which cites every source they use to substantiate they're claims, several HUNDRED (>350 and i'm only half way through) sources.
Are you kidding? The bush administration is completely against BOTH of those freedoms. Bush and all his chronies are Neoconservatives - AKA the Christian Right (Christian Taliban).
It is clear through his actions, and the actions of his cabinant, and party - that they are trying to push christianity on everyone in this country. Furthermore the attitude of "You're a traitor if you don't agree with Bush" that Schrubya is pushing is evidence of the fact that they don't respect Freedom of Speech.
These are but two of the hundreds of violations the bush administration has commited/would like to commit.
