  1. Re:Also: on TSA Changes Its Rules, ACLU Lawsuit Dropped · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Sorry. I've seen too many Obamapologists. It's just choosing a team and sticking with it no matter what the actual facts. I wrongly lumped you in with them.

    They apparently don't like people seeing their comic.

    His administration is actively fighting to hide many things still. Remove your rose-colored glasses. The only difference is that Obama wants to take your money and give it to the poor instead of giving it to the corporations like Bush did.

    So, tell me... how fast is the life of the person they killed being put back together?

    No, it's not the same thing. Racism like that is applying the trends of a group of people to a single person. Not hiring a murderer? That's knowing that specific person killed someone in the past, and isn't just like the rest of us. If someone has a history of bad credit, I'm not going to extend them credit. Same thing.

    So you're saying that if I kill someone, I can serve my time and then go on about my life? What about the person that died? Hardly seems like justice, societally or otherwise. They don't get to pick back up where they left off after they've been dead.

    Sad that it took a Swede to correct him on his English...

    And as soon as they get bad, I'll stop watching. Just like I did with cable.

  10. Re:Death of one old bag of baloney? on Microsoft Takes Responsibility For GPL Violation · · Score: 1

    Because people are just that doltish, and it's quite apparent that's what Mr. Ballmer intended to cause people to think. It's called "FUD".

    Go ahead and apologize to your post's parent. Choice quote:

    "The way the license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the rest of your software open source," Ballmer explained

  12. Re:Code Review on Microsoft Takes Responsibility For GPL Violation · · Score: 1

    You'd think they'd be able to check out some tools that do a similar thing to what they're attempting to do and compare the code. Not a huge leap of logic there, or much time wasted. I'm not saying that MS did anything wrong, and they're handling it admirably, but it's not a completely insurmountable problem as you propose.

  13. Re:Youtube? on Time To Ditch Cable For Internet TV? · · Score: 1

    Really? Get a better connection. I watch Netflix movies within a minute or so of queuing them up, and Youtube in even less.

  14. Re:Sports and Crappy Slow Internet on Time To Ditch Cable For Internet TV? · · Score: 1

    If you'd get over your addiction to paying companies that hate you (pretty much any major sports league), it helps. I used to care... I just can't be bothered any more, what with all the lawsuits against fantasy leagues and charging through the ass for actual tickets. Fuck them.

  15. Re:Is it live, or is it Memorex on Time To Ditch Cable For Internet TV? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Honestly? The commercials on Hulu are less of an effort to watch than they are to try to circumvent. They're few, they're far between, and they aren't horribly annoying and at a different volume from the show. I'll take those any day in return for free content.

  16. Re:Only $1.25 Billion? on Intel and AMD Settle Antitrust, Patent Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the timings that the RAM is telling the CPU to run it at aren't terribly functional. It may still be AMD's issue, but it could also be that the Intel chip automatically works around the RAM failings and AMD doesn't.

    Unfortunately, programmers aren't licensed and accountable like real engineers are.

  18. Re:Projector? on Fujitsu's Latest Mobile Phone Splits In Two · · Score: 2, Interesting

    People already use their phones to watch movies and show pictures to people and such. A projector would let you do it for a wider audience. Life isn't just about business, you know ;)

    Stupid? They're multiple non-linear equations interacting with each other. The people who came up with the algorithms themselves state that they don't understand the full effects of the algorithms. They know that they work, they know if they remove parts of the algorithm they stop working nearly as well, but they can't predict the output from the input.

    Do the sticks work at 800MHz? Can you up the voltage a step?

    Good call. I've seen some things about 1066 not being stable at "default" voltages. See if they boot at 800, and if so, just kick the voltage up a bit to boot 1066.
