  1. Re:That is the coolest thing I've seen in years on Asus Motherboard Box Doubles As PC Case · · Score: 2

    I have seen motherboards catch fire, actual fire with flames and smoke. Sure the machine failed, but the metal case sure seems to reduce the risk of that fire spreading. Would this case then have gone up as well?

    Hmm, no piracy here. Enough Netflix, Hulu and ps3 demo downloads(Most are over a GB) and you too can be a heavy user

    They have the source, they also take user reports and test stuff, even then bad software can get through. This is just a fact of life. Even in a 100% signed corporate pay for world just one employee at MegaSoftware can add malicious code to their applications. If he is sneaky enough it will get published.

    Too bad that testing does not work. They have had malware get into the market. This is not a simple problem to solve, you have unknown code with unknown inputs, how do you know what it does?

    And remember that code may act nice in a simulator or on known test devices, or until it is downloaded by 100k users.

    The the trojan would just act nice for that test. It could use the vm hardware to figure this out or just a simple calendar check. This problem is impossible to solve without source code reviews, and even then it is very hard.

    CC costs me nothing, I pay it every 2 weeks. CC companies hire people, give me cash back and a free loan. What does the game store do that compares?

    What line of credit provides cash back?

    But I cannot escape those raised prices. By at least giving nothing more to the banks I come out ahead.

    Oh wow, support their game store. Do they donate all their profits to the poor? Maybe they sell everything at nearly cost and operate as a non-profit?

    Otherwise I fail to see why I should care. They are trying to make money off of me just like the credit card folks. How are they any more deserving?

    Not sure if I think saving less than a dollar on a fill up is worth going inside to pay. Seems like it would be if I drove commercially or something.

    But If all merchants have this price increase and I cannot avoid paying it, why should I worry about that?

    Sounds like it is better to take the $10 and at least get something out of the deal.

    I have never gotten a cash discount at any store that I know of. Heck, if they offered it I would go for it.

    I am fine with increased costs I cannot change, no point in worrying about that.

    What is wrong with getting paid to donate blood?

    I have blood someone wants it, why should I not be at least paid for the time it takes to get it?

    Considering I have never paid a late fee or interest on a credit card since college, please tell me how they do that. I always pay it off every two weeks and spend the rewards when I get X amount. How are they making money?

    My real interest is because if this does make them money I will probably stop doing it. My biggest reason besides the rewards for doing this is to hurt these banks.

    I don't hate them at all. I just wish they would be more truthful. I invite any no-strings donations they wish to make. Hiring a guy to lie about their stance on FREE software is a terrible thing to do though.

    Obviously, but no matter its source, it is not urine until it goes through the kidneys.

    It is also nothing that you cannot find a pharmacy, that does not mean pharmacies are full of urine. Nothing is called urine until after it gets filtered by the kidneys. Which means blood is not full of urine, it is just full of stuff that may one day become part of urine.

    Blood is mostly water. Urine is mostly water as well, so is vodka. Blood is not mostly vodka.

    The various fun things that end up in urine are not called urine until they are filtered out by the kidneys.

    If there is urine in your blood stream you have a real problem. Perhaps you mean some waste that would go into urine is not being removed from the blood.
