  1. Oh and you have idiots like governor moonbeam and that shreeking fool maxine waters to compound your problems.

    Having a large economy doesn't necessary mean you have a healthy economy. You also have the largest debt of any state in the union at over 700 billion. The highest tax rate, one of the highest homeless population in the country, and the fastest shrinking middle class. You know the ones that actually pay all those taxes. You have junkies shooting up in your subways. An a complete and total dependency of surrounding states for water.

    So, yes, California is a complete and total mess.

  3. California is trying to implement the tried and failed system called a democracy. No, the United States isn't a democracy, it is a representative republic. Democracy have been tried through out history and if history shows us one thing, they do not work. What you get is tyranny of the majority, or mob rule. This is the reason that California is in the mess that it is in.

    Keep grasping at straws, that is just fine. Here is a simple fact. Linux sucks for playing games. End of discussion.

    These games are over 10 years old. I would be disappointed if they didn't run in some form under wine. I should have been more specific even thought I didn't think i would have to be.

    Here we go. Call me when you can run GTAV, No Mans Sky, Thief, or any other game in the last 5 years on Linux with out it crashing, looking up, or doing some other strange shit.

    I wish you people would give that "windows is spyware" bullshit a rest. Windows isn't collecting your bank account information, your social security number, or even your porn collection. You are simply not that important.

    If you are running the home versions then it will collect some shit but that is the price you pay for running a cheap ass version. If you are running pro are above you can turn all that shit off.

    So just give that line of bullshit a rest. If you don't like windows fine but be honest about it. No need to make shit up because it makes you feel better.

    Unless you want to play games or do anything really useful with your PC.

    I'm not sure if you are quoting scripture or not but Judis got 30 pieces of silver. But if the devil paid 10 pieces of silver for Ajit soul he got taken. I wouldn't have gone more than 2 pieces.

  9. There is a difference between treating someone with a laser and just plain blue light. A laser actually does transmit energy. That energy will be translated in to heat and there is scientific evidence that heat has some healing and therapeutic properties.

    Thanks for bringing me up to speed. I was sniffing around Ryzen to replace my aging FX-8350 in my Centos box. I'm thinking that a 2700X would fit the bill.

    While I agree with you that it is a band-aid its not as bad as you make it out to be. Depending on where live. Where I live virtually every business has a public Wifi and wifi hotspots are easy to hide.

    Two years ago I worked in the cell phone industry. The technology that you are looking for is VoLTE. Which stands for voice of lte. Basally, they plan to remove the phone network and route all calls over the LTE data stream. I believe they are already doing this in some areas.

    VoLTE will mean less antennas but with more capacity. I'm not sure LTE 4 is up to the demand of going main stream but I believe LTE 5 will be able too. I think that LTE 5 has a 1000 times more capacity than lte 4. Don't quote me on that. I left the market before LTE 5 became the "thing to watch." I'm sure someone will correct me soon.

    When and where is the point of critical mass going to occur? Where I'm going with this is: What's the technology that's going to ultimately have to be developed to replace this technology?

    It's already here. It's called voice over wifi and is exactly what it sounds like. When your phone is on wifi all calls are routed through the wifi connection. My S7 had it and my S8 has it. I think most iPhones have it now.

    On my S7 it wasn't quite right. I could move from a wifi call to cell tower and it would ether drop the call or there would be a loud hiss during the conversion. With the S8 that issue is gone. Now when I move from wifi to cell there might be a little click when I do.

    With those xfinity hotspots all over the damn place I can actually move around town and never really leave wifi calling.

    (Pro tip: try it with Linux!)

    Okay. Lets see been running linux exclusively on AMD since the '486DX-133. Lets see, since that time I have run some variation of linux on every class of AMD processors. I have been running Centos on a AMD-8350 since 2012. In that time I have had exactly zero issue with linux and AMD processors.

    . I'm looking forward to trying out AMD for the first time,

    You won't be disappointed with AMD this go around. Take a look at the specs for the new 2700X.

    https://www.cpubenchmark.net/c...

    That is a $329 chip and has better performance than the closest intel chip in that class, the 8700K. The 8700K is also $30 bucks more. Sure there are more powerful intel chips but those chips are in the $1000+ range.

    You can also find AMD chips in that range too but if you are going to do a bitch'n build and not break the bank the 2700X seems to be the way to go.

  19. Those evil shits are you.

    Spoken like someone with little knowledge of real history. Spend more time in history and world political science and learn more about what has happened in the world in the last 70 years. Then come back and try again.

  20. Truth. Don't get me wrong, just because I talk demilitarization I'm not blind to realities that we live in. There are evil shits in places of power in the world and sometimes the only thing that holds them back is some one with a bigger stick. It is a sad state of affairs but it is the world we were born into.

    I'm very much anti nuclear weapons but I believe that our nuclear weapons program needs to be modernized. It is a odd view but then again we have to deal with the evil shits. The only thing that keeps them from starting a nuclear war is the fact there is someone out there that is better at it than they are.

    Such is the state of our sad little world.

  22. It is funny what effects it has if you are mandatory by law required to take your 25 work days vacation per year

    A lot of my fellow countrymen/women wouldn't know a good vacation if it bit them on the ass. Piling on to a floating petri dish at sea or losing all my money in Las Vegas does not a good vacation make. My vacation this will be a week spent on a train with a good book.

    I hear that you have excellent trains in Europe....

  23. Fully agree. Education needs to be funded out the wazoo. I've often said that if I was in charge one of the first things that I would do was divert money from one of those new aircraft carriers that we don't need, in my opinion, and drop it in to education. Of course just throwing money at the problem doesn't solve it. That takes planning and action but having the money there after the planning is done with help with the action.

  24. If you have the qualification and desire, work oversees.

    This to is very good advice. I would recommend that anyone that has the chance at least spend 2 years of their lives outside the U.S. Working overseas and being exposed to different cultures does a world of good to curing that U.S.centrist out look many Americans tend to have.

  25. Do it! But do it soon, lest you put it off and find yourself as a 50-year-old with a family to take care of.
