Human rights start at the Human level. I do not trust my government to provide Human rights. Rather, they should be a God given right enforced by your fellow neighbors. But they are not, which is why we have laws to begin with.
Ok, enough of my soapbox rant. I feel a little better now though.
Agreed; in which case it would be known as a Theocracy. But in modern society (the western world) we are based around a Democracy...unlike, say in the Middle East. Not surprising given that majority of people Iraq, and Afghanistan still hold on to tribalism.
Note: I consider myself to be a Spiritual person. So I am NOT putting people down that have religious convictions. It's just I do not agree with peoples convictions that cross over into my own personal freedom and liberty.
Speaking of religion, it can be regarded as a form of mutual self governance among a given society. Being ruled under dictatorship is one thing. But fearing an unknown and all-powerful god is another. I mean, how CAN you argue against such a belief among your fellow pears without being burned at the stake? Remember, they will likely fear blasphemy themselves for hearing you out. Thus the top of the Hierarchical chain of power remains mutual.
BTW, there is always an exception to the rule. Which is good because it means that us Humans still have room to mentally grow and evolve to some other "higher order" in time to come. Just my opinion of course.
Ya, you shouldn't have problems with Crucial. But the problems I found are with those new hotrod chips. For example, Corsair doesn't adhear to JDEC specifications from what I understand. Thus, will require memory timing tweaking to get it stable. But if I'm going to build a server or any custom box for a user, I was total stability or I KNOW if will byte (pun intended) me in the ass later.
If your a customer of mine that wants a customer gamerz box with the fastest components on the market, you will pay extra for the extreme testing it will go through. And I mean, a total week of burning that yeilds zero problems in memtest86.
Try running memtest86 on any custom box and you will be suprised at the amount of problems you will find. I would say, at least 1 out of 50 boxes have some form of memory related issues. Obviously this has nothing to do with programming as the article states. But even with RAM stats programmed in SPD, the motherboard may still not handle them very well. I'm not sure that MRAM will help any if at all with industry compatibility issues among all vinders...but this is a very real issue that needs to be delt with!
Putin as stated many times that Saddam wanted to attack the US. And the 911 event justified the means to the rest of the world to attack Iraq and oust Saddam (Plus a stable nation with oil is better for our economy in the long run; also for the best interest of national security).
But..... Some would say the invasion of Iraq was just a warm-up exercise to test new toys and tactics against the big battle yet to come. And that would be with China. It's seems this would be plausible considering the Pentagon whole purpose is to defend America. So I can understand this whole "big picture" thinking. After, you really have to plan way in advanced to maintaining a countries security.
I've listened to many years of Mr. Bell on his talk radio show. And one this is for certain. I regard him as the modern Robert Leroy Ripley whom was famous for Ripley's Believe It or Not. Basically, Art purpose is to entertain. He provides his listening audience with factual information, or pure BS. But it doesn't matter as long as you're taken for a ride. Simple as that, it's all about entertainment.
I find it really sad when people call Art Bell a nutcase just of the subjects he talks about. But that's only because they don't know him through the years of programming that he provided to me and millions of others late at night.
Just because F-Prot is the "underdog" in anti-virus popularity doesnt mean its the best or latest and greatest. Sure, it makes for a nice DOS bootcd where you need to clean a machine onsite. But, I'm all for Symantec Norton. It's consumer client may be bloated with features, but it's damn well effective. (Norton firewall sucks ass though). If you want all the effectiveness and research of Symantec but witout the bloated client, get the corporate edition. It's fucking awsome.
Not a Pix..hell now. Those are awsome for large networks. But the consumer based firewalls such as Linksys and Netgear products run software in RAM on the routers themselves. Sometimes they lock up because of corruption or something. So, you have to power them off and on to get them running again. Not a problem. Just needs to be understood. That's all.
Hell ya, this is perfect for reimaging boxes with that "fresh and new" feeling. Thank you much. If were here, I would give you a beer (better then mod points). Anyways, it's bookmarked
We are talking about ease of hacking and launching viri to the wild anonymously. Not simple phone phreaking or cussing up a storm to someone via crankcall.
The problem with this theory is this- as long as one person has more financial power than some other group of people, the freedom of the other group of people is being destroyed. They ARE being hurt by the basic inequality. I'd go so far as to say you can't have freedom under corporatism- though, under capitalism, there are limits to the amount of time a single person can work in a week, and thus limits on what a person can earn, and thus, people are more equal.
I hate to break it to you, but your health and materialistic lifestyle is far better off then say...in the 19th century. Back then, you would be lucky to have 1 meal a day. And that's assuming your having to wake up at the butt-crack of dawn and work you ass till dusk. But today, you only have to work 40 hours a week and it will get you very far in health care and goods n services.
Regardless, in the end it doesn't really matter to you does it? Either we are slaves to someone else, or slaves unto ourselves. Either way, you can never get something for nother. You must EARN it. That is, you have to be able to provide society something that is rare and/or usefull to the masses to reap the rewards of your hardwork or inovations. If you still don't like working you ass off....you can always kick modern civilization to the curb and live off the land in Africa. At least you will be more "free". In fact, I wouldn't mind doing this myself just to get a break from the norm. But hey, do what makes tou happy. Don't condem people for participating in a society tou personally don't agree with. The choice for a lifestyle change is in your hands.
Honestly, I had a good laugh when I read that. But to be honest, the door swings both ways with corrupted COPs. A friend of mine who is in law enforcement has told me quite a few stories. One of which is to be aware of the COPs in that city. And if you going just 1Mph over the speed limit and your out of state, get ready for a bad day. And even if your in the write, the very fact that you argued with him/her will be grounds for spending the night in the slammer.
Personally, I'm all for law enforment...but when they become corrupt with power and making side deals with drug runner, shit gets really outta hand. At this point, they are just another thug but impowered with the law on their side. Creepy!!!
I personally will never trust a thug. You obviously cant trust them with your belongings, so why would you trust him/her with your life? I mean, if someone is comming at me with a baseball bat...I'm going to run away. But as a last messure, I will use self defense to protect my life. Because damn it all to hell, I WILL LIVE above all else.
On the other hand, their has been a few case in the US were someone stole some items and was walking out of the house. Even though at this point he was outside and leaving the property, the home owner shot him dead and claimed self defense. Obviously, the scene of the crime looked fishy. Thus, a full scale investigation was unleashed. As for the home owner, he was charge with murder. Now, had the resident and the robber be in the same room it would have been a different story all togeather.
You may not agree with US laws. But having the right to bare arms sets a precedent to all would-be thugs and rapists in that; if you fuck with an American citizen, you may lose your life. Also, those that own guns know that it's a burden of responibility for both them, and their family they wish to protect.
On a side note. If some thug ever pulled a gun on me, they had better pull the trigger. Because I will damn sure only one of us leaves alive. If running is an option, I will take it. Otherwize, survival of the fittest. Sorry, but it's natures calling.
The reason why socialism will NEVER truly work (based in its true form) is due to human nature. As a species, Humans have evolved their brains through survival of the fittest. That is, only the strong survived and carried on their genetics to future generation. And thus, to this day the Human species continues to envy, hate, and extort those in the process to better suit them selves in hope of successfully procreating with the fairest of females. Ever wonder why society revolves around sex in some way or fashion? Basically, this is evolutionary psychology. It's a both a fascinating and sobering subject about our true nature. We are after all, animals. Some are just more civilized then others depending on who you talk to.
As stated before, socialism will never work because it leaves a vacuum of power and thus is a perfect breading ground for corruption (organized crime, mafias...etc). Prime examples are found in China and former Soviet Union.
Capitalism however works by going with human nature and exploiting it for all of society in a positive manor. Obviously, it's not perfect. But given Human nature, it's the best system available. I'm sure one day millions of years from now, socialism will work far better then capitalism will (that, or accelerated human brain modification through genetic engineering). But until then, just accept your race for which you are now a part of. Live it, love it, at the very least, and understand it.
Too much of a hassle, fuck it. I'll just take my car and drive it from point A to point B. I want my privacy in the morning and listen to talk radio. Also, I may want to run the store or go out to eat on my lunch break.
This might be a great idea for some depending on your lifestyle and where you work. But for me, I love driving my car in the mornings.
Umm, how about paying for INTERNET BANDWIDTH. Do you even KNOW how much the porn industry pays for bandwidth. Basically, unmessurable amount the way I see it. So the more they pay for the infrastructure, the cheaper it will be for all of us geeks in the long run. I hate to break it to you my friend, but sex and the prospect there-of is the primary foundation for our society. It's basic evolutionary psychology.
Offtopic...yes. But I find this to be insitefull. When all else fails to fund a project, love to the desires of human nature and those with capitol to spend. Seriously, if a "holodeck" were to ever be built...look to the porn industry to lead the way. Then, the technology will find it's way in other niches.
I'm not sure if this is sad, but it's reality of human nature that connot be overlooked as a method for expanding scientific knowledge.

So you guys ARE in favor of Government sponsored DRM? Well christ on a stick, I'm floored!!
Let me guess
Oh..oh I KNOW! Pick me.. PICK ME!!!
Would it have anything to do with Government sponsored DRM so the CCP can control all that you see, hear and download at a more manageable level?

Damn laptop! I'm always short on battery life. Hey you, pass be another round will ya. ....hey, how do I open this guy up?
Na man. They BECOME one of the 72 virgins. I hope they like it up the ass. Karma's a bitch eh?

You shouldn't HAVE to do that. But ya, that will work. Just run an IPCONFIG /RENEW at the command line after it's all booted to grab an IP.

Art Bell (coasttocoastam.com) has a big beef against BOP (Broadband Over Power) for obvious reasons.
