No word on the First and Fourth Amendment implications of his proposals
Get a clue. The Bill of Rights is no longer in effect and much of the rest of the Constitution is or soon will be dead. How the hell can we defeat the enemies of freedom unless we take away all American's rights, assume they are guilty unless proven innocent, and deport everyone who doesn't accept the Truth of the One Christian God? (Including the split personality disorder and the zombiesm.) The enemies of this country have a paranoid hatred of us and we must defeat them by proving them right.
I guess this is what they tell bleeding heart liberals who have no real world experience and have not seen the actual results of affirmative action. I've worked in a University where I actually saw a black graduate student who got their BS in Computer Science from a predominately black college and was admitted into the post grad CS school to fill a quota. This grad student couldn't even act as a teachers aid, and ended up taking freshman level CS courses and failing them. But they still had a BS in computer science and an employer who hired a while candidate over them could be called racist. Talking to the faculty I found this was not an isolated incident.
For other examples of harm done by hiring that ignores real qualifications, see Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Loretta E. Lynch.
No need to. If one wanted to find out how much the pirates were taking in, they should only need to find some way to pay them a small amount. Then look at that transaction, get the receiver and mine the block chain for all transactions to that receiver. You now have a lot of information about what your accused pirate is doing. Repeat and built up enough evidence for prosecution, much easier than any other payment system. Want to go after the other people who paid that receiver? Sure it is harder, it should be. Bit it isn't undo-able. Mining the same data for each of their transaction records should give you enough information that many of them could be pretty accurately located.and in some cases identified.
You're over thinking it. lets just spend taxpayer money for the good of the filthy rich and public hating telcos, and perhaps give them more as "incentives" for what they should do anyway just as good business. Then they can spend more on lobbyists to try to prevent any consumer protection action, and eventually merge into fewer and bigger and yet somehow more expensive "services" to steal from and cheat and abuse their taxpayer customers further.
You just don't understand. "....while black employees accounted for 3% of its US senior leadership,... Clearly this isn't PC. So more blacks must be hired and put into these positions, even if we are not capable of doing the work. Sheesh, next thing you're likely to criticize the quota system that pushed through colleges and universities the many black students who displaced more qualified white students and call it racist, even though some of those receiving degrees are still not capable of doing the work. White people must stop using the ability to actually do the work as a racist way to keep the black man down, it should be enough that we were pushed through the system and given a token diploma.
Just as important, BitCoin is about the most public form of transaction that you can have. All transactions are recorded in the block chain and supposedly available for inspection by anyone. If I wanted to fight piracy (and in all honesty I'm more anti-Disney than anti-piracy, the pirates are doing less to subvert the Constitution) then I would insist that all pirates use completely traceable transactions like BitCoin.
As to using cash, I already pay for credit hidden in the price of everything that I buy. I might as well get the credit that I'm paying for and the modest cash back that comes with it than just walk away from it with no cash discount. Just because I use a credit card doesn't mean that I should be sloppy with it and give others open access to it.
As to shopping locally, one local merchant urges us locals to do that too, and even points out that 80% of what is spent in his hardware store "stays in the community". Since he has no locally produced inventory, I believe most of the locals keeping him in business are too stupid to understand how high his markup must be if the 80% claim is true. I am not.
As to quitting, this is Slashdot. Get over yourself. I'm not happy about a Google policy that is apparently designed to get extra charges against a credit card (otherwise there would be no point in it, as they already have good payment options in place that I use). I see no reason not to voice displeasure with that, if enough do the policy may change.
Actually, motion compensation requires both the current frame and one or more future frames to be able to compute intermediate frames. With a media player where the full video already exists it is simple enough to access "future" frames. With a TV showing video inbound from a broadcaster, cable company or media device, you can delay the output by 1/30th or 1/24th of a second, delay sound similarly, and no one is the wiser.
P>
But in video gaming, delaying the video by 1/30 or 1/24 or even 1/20 of a second has serious effects on game play. You really don't want a gaming device that delays the video just so that it can insert extra frames, you need to see the most recent frame as soon as you can.
So my question: Why don't GPUs for VR use real-time motion compensation techniques to increase the FPS pushed into the VR headset?
You said it yourself. " This of course requires the purchase of the latest, greatest high-end GPUs made by these manufacturers". Why in the world would they sell you something that can do the job for only a few dollars add-on when they can convince you to pay additional hundreds for the same utility? And I'm not saying that there is collusion between the major manufacturers, but there is and as long as no one breaks ranks then no one else is going to opt for the less expensive solution either.
but you will need a credit card saved to the account for future purchases.
WTF is this? Why can't I just continue to pay for my Google purchases the ways I have been? (Such as purchasing credit when I feel I need it.) I really don't like the idea of saving my credit card information to my Google (or any other) online account. This has numerous disadvantages. I'm concerned about the many hacks that occur to both on-line and brick-and-mortar retailers. And I'm concerned about charges being made against my account that shouldn't be.
Just this week I tried to make a purchase on Vudu with a promotional code that Vudu had sent me in email while logged into my Vudu account on my Roku. I went through the process of selecting and buying a show. But before ever presenting a screen to enter a promo code, Vudu tried to complete the sale through my credit card on file. That is when they found out that the information they had was no longer current. If it had been, I would have ended up being charged for a show that I really didn't want to buy and was only getting because of the promo code that I was sent. Just another good reason that I don't want to enter credit card information until I see what I'm being charged and agree to the purchase, and I don't want that information saved "for later".
There also seems to be the implication that others in my "family" might be able to make purchases on my behalf. Otherwise why does any purchase related change have to be put in place when you create a "family"?
Please don't respond back about getting the unwanted purchases revoked through my credit card company. I've fought charge-back battles before and the credit card companies do like to say "you authorized it" even when the actual charge is bogus. It seems much smarter to not invite the problem in the first place.
OK, I was going to use "Evil" instead of "Good" in my subject line, but I know how Slashdot works and undoubtedly one of God's Chosen People would have modded me down for that (they can be so petty).
So now the people who believe that God has chosen them and will favor them in any dispute against any other people are taking offense that Facebook is not opposing free speech hard enough. Maybe they are even upset that Facebook is not killing Palestinians and evicting Palestinian families out of their own country. (After all, just by living they are taking up space that could be used for Jewish settlement.) What a shock!
Bernie had overwhelming support in California filling stadiums while Clinton was hard presses to even fill a schoolroom. Young voters complained of having their registration switched from Democrat to Republican in high numbers. Pool workers complained of being given bad instructions that claimed that Independent voters could not vote in the primary (it turn out in California they are legally entitled to vote in either primary). Exit polls can usually spot any obvious problem, so none of the major media players did any exit polling in California. As others have pointed out. Hillary "won" in states with electronic voting with no paper trail and did much worse in states with a paper trail and hard records of the voting.
What you mean to say is What they tell us the election results were. They sure don't match reality. You don't have to look any further than the California Primary to see the massive election fraud in the United States.
I can already view CBS and ABC on the Internet on their own sites. I don't care at all about sportsball and the steroid using cheaters. So I really don't care about this.
Lets tell the whole truth. Not just "Dell announced that it will no longer sell Android tablets", but that lots and lots of Android tablets were sold and now Dell will no longer provide updates, including security updates, to their customers for the tablets that they did sell. Now they want to sell something else. They hope to sell lots of them. Can anyone figure out what is going to happen when that market is "saturated"?

Pointing out the flaw in excessive affirmative action = Racist
The President pretty much summed it up when he said "Heck, I couldn't even pass that test!"

It shouldn't just be 13% of the workforce being black to mirror the population, it should be 83%!
At one time we had guaranteed employment for 100% of the black workforce. Sadly we do not any longer. I blame Lincoln.

From the scam article: " this one claims it doesn't require any batteries
From the current article: " It uses Freevolt technology to keep a battery charged
Can anyone spot the difference?
Use cash. Shop locally. Quit whining.
As to using cash, I already pay for credit hidden in the price of everything that I buy. I might as well get the credit that I'm paying for and the modest cash back that comes with it than just walk away from it with no cash discount. Just because I use a credit card doesn't mean that I should be sloppy with it and give others open access to it.

Makes sense. After all, we know you can't hack corrupt politicians unless you wear a silly plastic mask.

Sure the TPP is wrong and evil, but Disney and others in Hollywood want it and have bought our political leaders, so it is going to happen.
The last link is crap, once again making me wonder what EditorDavid does at Slashdot, as it sure isn't editing.
