  1. Maybe you should have thought of that on Apple Yanks Toddler's Speech-Enabling App · · Score: 1

    If you are going to do this sort of thing, maybe you should do it on a device you can control. Lots of android stuff out there that you can sideload on with no problems.

    Surprise surprise moron AC, I think Steam is fine. They let me play offline and offer valuable services in exchange for their DRM. I am checking out now if torchlight works in wine.

    It has a single player mode.

    If it was only multiplayer that would be even less reason for me to play it.

    I have not yet bought diablo 3 and probably never will. Single player games do not need online access. Nor do I want to support that model.

    Do not think that I came to bring peace on Earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a manâ(TM)s enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.â (Matthew 10:34-39

    That Jesus fellow sure said a lot of intolerant stuff.

    I like fictional books as much as the next guy, but this is not one that preaches tolerance or really much of anything I can support. What with all the anti-women, anti-gay, other assorted bigotry and assholery.

    You can find all kinds of stuff at levels that don't matter.

    I would suggest cast iron before stainless for eggs. I like stainless for general fry purposes though. I just like stuff that lasts, which teflon pans never do.

  7. Promise RAID on Thunderbolt On Windows: Hardware and Performance Explored · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If that is a Promise RAID box, I Promise the numbers are totally imaginary. Maybe they got that performance for about a second, on a full moon, in the dark, with no one watching.

    I don't doubt thunderbolt can do it, but I doubt anything Promise says.

    TLDR: Promise sucks.

    It is not good nor bad, it is just is non-nutritive. It can indeed look terrible, but it is not harming you.

    Teflon is not poisoning you.

    You are eating the flakes and they are going out with the rest of the solid waste. Teflon is not digestible.

    Christianity is very intolerant. It for instance teaches that all who do not believe in it burn in hell forever. That sounds pretty intolerant.

    I would by the way consider all 3 abrahamic religions mainstream in the USA.

    I am not tolerant of murderers either.

    Which religions that are mainstream in America are not intolerant?

    You should subtract the number that would have voted for the democrat anyway. Which as previous elections show is only a few percentage points less.

    The previous election 88% percent voted for the white democrat. This means less than 10% of black voters voted from him based on race. Probably closer to the 3-5%.

    Palin lost him the election. That and not running as mccain 2000. Had he run as McCain from 2000 he would have had a good shot, but Palin still would have sank him.

    That might be what H1B is supposed to be used for, but it is really used to get cheap IT folks. I have had to work with some of these folks and if they work for our customer who hired a contracting firm, they suck. The direct hire ones are fine, but all the ones coming from the usual suspect Indian staffing firms are terrible.

    They would never have bothered to make the drug in the first place and then find those neat side effects.

    Lots of drugs and treatment programs just would not exist.

    Those countries regulate the price of those drugs and subsidize their production at times. Niether of those is something people opposed to socialized medicine tend to support.
