    I run MythTV and use nvidia. I tried to use amd but it was real laggy. Nvidia gt410 has no problem with 1080i.

    ...Similar debate on abortion, small laws

    Your comment is nothing but a sneaky way to insert anti abortion propaganda into this conversation.

  6. Re:Loaded language? on Browser Choice May Affect Your Job Prospects · · Score: 1

    I see multiple differences here.

    No thunderbolt, no firewire, no USB 3.0 listed.

    No multi touch track pad, no back lit keyboard.

    720p camera, asus only says .3m pixel.

    Magsafe power adapter, longer battery life

    Also the mac runs windows, linux, AND OS X. The asus does not run OS X (without LOTS of effort to install and maintain)

    The mb pro looks much much nicer.

    All in all, quite a few differences. Add in all that stuff you missed, and you're nowhere near $749. The only two things it exceeds is hard drive size, and video card. You can get different set ups on the mb pro, but there is not point in discussing the asus any longer since it is no where near the specs of the mb pro you listed.

  8. Re:This depends on the use and purpose on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Block Web Content? · · Score: 2

    I do it on the /etc/hosts level on my dns server. You can find large lists of ad domains that can be added to your hosts file with 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 to cause them to fail. This covers all machines on your network that use your dns server. The one I use is http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt however they have become slow with updating it. You might want to invest some time in looking for one that is updated more frequently.

    My first Linux was Slackware. 300 baud. I remember having just enough floppies for the base and network. I also remember praying to all the gods that after I formatted my only hard drive that they all worked. It did, and I ran Linux (eventually Debian) for the next 11 years.

  15. Re:That's fine because I plan to bypass... on You Can't Bypass the UI Formerly Known As Metro On Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    I hate it. Have an application that is in the bottom right hand corner of the screen? Good, I get to move the mouse clear to the other side of the monitor to get to the menu bar. Need to click on the menu bar for a program in the background? First, you have to bring it to the foreground, now you can access the menu bar. It only creates extra work, and aside from it always being in the same place I can't see any other benefits. Just extra work.

  16. Re:Last bastion on Last Bastion For Climate Dissenters Crumbling · · Score: 0

    I think one of the big problems is some people see this as a liberal issue, and since everything liberal is wrong, climate change is to. And who needs to waste their time with facts when you have an agenda?
