    Well how would four drops of what looks like blood get on the cloth? Only tortured people have small drops of blood right?

    Also, with cloth over the face, you wouldn't get a picture. Try this yourself. Rub something on your face and put cloth on your face and try to make something that looks even vaguely face like. It's a fake. And a bad one at that.

    Quick notes, I didn't buy a case so don't step on it. Also, I didn't buy a heatsink or fan so it'll only run for about 12 seconds. Also, you need to boot off the lan. Also, you won't be able to see anything, and not because the processor poofed, but also it has no video card.

  14. Yeah, not my favorate idea. on Intel And AMD's Dual-Core CPUs Investigated · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think they should dynamicly change the clock speed based on heat content. Have a max hz, then have it slow down the hotter it gets. Then you could remove the cpu fan and not worry about it, save the fact that it would be slow as dirt.

    I think the CPUs would be the same speed sorta. Just have one tweaked for say floats and the other something else. If you have a float heavy process you use core 0 and otherwise core 1. You can end up with the same CPI for standard loads but with some programs would do better with one than the other, as they aren't standard.

    Which is why just stalling up one house in congress every now and then isn't enough. That's not going to grind anything to a halt. That's just a bit of tar on the road. Saying that having a minority in the Senate is still enough power to stop the government from passing laws giving the lumber companies public trees (Healthy Forests) or reducing air quality standards (Clear Skies) is patently untrue.

    You need not quote Thoreau at me. Given a house in congress and a president or so, then things will stop sliding in any particular direction

    Not really, they can only stop a bill or confirmation. When it comes to passing their own law or changing anything they can't. The best they can do is try to preserve the status quo.

    Well, it might open the door a bit, but it would stop the spoiler 3rd parties. Clinton probably would have lost in `92, Bush in `00. The real problem is it would take a constitutional amendment and those are fairly hard to pass. The CO model doesn't take such an amendment. It could fairly easily do away with primaries, just run all the people in the first election and so long as nobody tops out 50% the run off between the top two settles it.

  20. Re:Oh no neither party is helping on The Jobs Crunch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Couple problems. Firstly, it isn't going to inspire any other states to work in this way. Only a battleground state like CO would consider it. Even in states like Maine where it goes by district doesn't attack of the status quo this does.

    Take CA and TX for example, you'll never see them implement anything close to this. Because they start out for one side or the other and vote that way accordingly. Why would they hand off a 3rd of their electoral votes to the other party.

    The only way about this would be to trash the electoral vote system at the national level and convert to a real democracy. I would highly recommend one with a runoff or instant runoff system built in. I'd prefer a runoff system with a none of the above choice.

    You will only get battleground states to ever approve such a measure, and even then if this measure is approved you'll see it in a SCOTUS near you. It's damaging to the status quo, as damaging as could be done by a state in a democratic republic such as our.

  21. Re:Oh no neither party is helping on The Jobs Crunch · · Score: 1

    Yeah, though to be fair... Dems don't have President, House, Senate, SCOTUS, or Governors. So that leaves nothing. With no power they aren't helping. That's fairly obvious.

    Also you could download cases from online. Court records are public records, so you could watch people get convicted all day if you were so inclined. Hosting them on the net might be rather hard with today's tech but in the future it would be fairly well done. Although, I have a legal question. The constitution says a person gets a trial before a jury of his peers. Does that require the jury be present at the trial? Secondly wouldn't this repeatedly lead to lawyers asking for do overs?
