  1. Re:The developed world has similar attitudes on Indian Woman Convicted of Murder By Brain Scan · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There's a simple rule: You can do whatever you like, as long as you harm nobody (other than yourself).
    And there are only two types of laws: Those that define what "harm" means for a group of people, and those that are created to harm a group of people.

    So let him like whatever he wants, as long as he is not harming any children or supporting any child-harmers (eg. by going to their pages and clicking on the ads).
    And you can jack off to BDSM, or whatever you happen to like, not be accused of being a sadistic rapist for hurting nobody.
    Deal?

    And no: Looking to it does not mean he's going to do it. Quite the opposite. It's like with games. You can work off you anger and other drives, so you feel less urge to do it in real life.
    Those with extreme drives to do such stuff have most likely had something very strange and bad (from most POVs) happening in their early life, and need separation from those that they could hurt or help if they want to change.

    It's a matter of there being too many slime balls and con men out there in the world, we can't take you at your word until we know you. Until then we need to ask you to prove yourself to us.

    Well, then the one who should really>/strong> take a test is the company (as a whole) and your future boss(es). You wouldn't want to have a PHB tell you what to do, would you?

    You forgot the French. Like "Le Chiffre" in that James Bond film. (Which is a very retarded name, because "chiffre" means "number". So he's "The Number". Who would call himself "The Number"? It's even dumber than "The Dude" ;)

    In case of that opportunity of a lifetime, I understand that you are angry.
    I don't know if you are referring to the typical German aspects that are similar to those of the vogons.

    But I don't think you can honestly blame a whole nation for these people that did not do their job (whatever it was), can you?
    Or else I could call all Americans fat arrogant retards, all French people arrogant assholes, all British people retarded drunk trash eaters, all polish people aggressive alcoholics, all Italians... well you know what I mean. It's just exaggerated, and I expect more from educated people.

  22. Re:Battery capacity, not life on Sony Pledges More Accurate Laptop Battery Figures · · Score: 1

    I don't think, unloading the driver is directly related to it.

    I don't use it much here, so I can't exactly tell you.
    But I guess there should be some kernel documentation about the ACPI interface, and some user-mode tools to help you.
    Normally, the motherboard should automatically switch off everything that's not needed when it goes to the power saving modes (S1-S5).
    But Wikipedia has more details.

    It is important to note, that not all devices support that mode. But for laptops, it's expected, because else they may not go to that mode, or even crash. (I had this with a desktop PC with such hardware)

    I could do the following:
    $ sudo cat /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/*/enable
    0
