    the problem is justice it's self is the will of the majority, because of this what is viewed as justice constantly changes.

    200 years ago blacks had no rights, less then 100 years ago they were considered secondary citizens, now were taking away rights from middle eastern looking people.

    That is correct. it's the only modern console sold at a profit due to the fact it's essentially a faster running gamecube. it uses the same hardware thus nintendo can still use the now cheap production methods that they used for the gamecube.

  5. Re:You make no sense on The Fresca Rebellion · · Score: 1

    you might not of been paying attention so let me point it out.

    lets say for this explanation there is a corporation who's main product is a some food or some such. the ceo of said company works there for a few years then changes jobs to a lobbyist for the company to fda. a few years later the new administration hires him on as the head of the fda. then when he is let go in the next administration he goes back to work as the ceo of the same company, rinse and repeat. This is in the basic sense fascism, though not the jack boot kind that has become the common person's definition. We currently have this system for just about every government agency, fda, department of defense, department of energy etc. in such a system these agency's who stated goal's are for the interests of the people of the country as a whole are changed to serve the interests of the company's they are supposed to be watching etc. as a result we have two indefinite wars. drugs that have to be recalled because regulations were relaxed and harmful ones became too obvious. milk that has growth hormones in it that all other industrialized nations have baned but the fda continues to say it's safe etc.

  9. Re:Stability on Why Users Drop Open Source Apps For Proprietary Alternatives · · Score: 1

    I second this. when ever i press someone who says 'firefox crashes on me' it's more because he has over 50+ tabs open spread across multiple windows because he/she doesn't want to close a tab. the majority of them are flash and/or java heavy sites. so the problem normally lays between the keyboard and the chair and not with the program. if it's not that it's because he or she has installed several extensions, i am talking more then 10 here.

    if you do not behave like this though firefox is rock stable though it is tending to be a bit on the slow side though with future versions taking a page from chrome that should change.

    Your making a assumption that has no basis in reality not to mention you have used a very bad past situation as a analogy. many gases can be used as coolants. In most instances what these rare earth metals are used for are vital because there are no alternatives.

    Frankly i view this as a very smart move on china's part considering we have been busy putting military bases around them and Russia.

  11. Re:HW buffer for drives on Intel's Braidwood Could Crush SSD Market · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's called planed obsolescence. Due to the amount of read/write cycles on the i/o and the fact all flash memory is limited to a certain number. If they integrate this into the motherboard it means that the motherboard has a expiration date they can predict and design around. In such a situation the flash will mostly last about a year or 2.

    Speed has nothing to do with it because your /still/ bound to the data flush to the disk drive which will be much slower. data security between crashes seems to only be a side benefit.

    When the author praised halo as a landmark game because it gave the player regenerating health. Thats dumbing down a game not making it better, part of the fun of fps's when i used to play them regularly was trying to stay alive and avoid getting hurt. frankly i wonder when retail mainstream games will reach a point where they dumb them down enough that all you have to do is hit a little button on the menu screen to beat the game..

    What happened to part of the fun of playing the game being the effort and skill needed to play it?

  20. Re:Adequate Reward? Please... on Volunteers Simulate Mission To Mars · · Score: 1

    lets see..
    24 - 8 = 16 * 100 = 1,600
    20,000 / 1,600 = 12.50

    yup it's 12.50 a hour if you just subtract sleeping time, but lets go one step further and assume a 10 hour work day. being that they would be spending that time doing pure weightless(instead of micro-gravity thats in orbit) experiment's as well as experiment's in the artificial gravity in the planned space craft. Not to mention the gardening, ship matainence, and waste management. This should give them some 'personal time' to decompress as working from morning to bed time will hasten any problems with them getting along.

    24 -14 = 10 * 100 = 1,000
    20,000 / 1,000 = 20.00

    so they get payed 20 dollars a hour during working hours for those 100 days. Sounds good, if it wasn't for my medical condition i would sign up.
