Yes, you just proved my point. Interesting but pointless.
What can you do with a Linux PS3 that you cannot do with a PC? And can you still play PS3 games, or watch bluray disks on it in that configuration? No.
You are justifying an illegal act on a legal organization. Regardless of what the Scientologist actually do, that is the reality. A DOS attack is NOT legal.
It is that exact same reasoning which justifies (in their mind) things like insurance fraud, bank robberies and assassinations of abortion doctors.
In all fairness to the Republicans, they do lower taxes.
NO they don't. That is the ultimate American myth.
Do you remember Bush Sr, getting elected on the platform "Read my lips - no new taxes!", then within the very first year, increasing taxes for everyone.
Bush Jr, 2004 stated "we cut taxes, which basically meant people had more money in their pocket" while simultaneously levying 5.9 billion increase in fees. The 2005 budget stated the government will take in +13% increase in taxes in 2005 compared to 2004.
Republicans spend AND tax, they just spin it and pretend they are for lower taxes.
Liberal means anti-government intervention, conservative means the opposite.
That's correct in the US too. Just think of how many government employees were added when Bush/Cheney created Homeland security and all the bureaucracy that goes with it.
Republicans lobby for votes on low taxes and small government, but when in power they do the complete opposite.
Yes, yes, and I use mine as a bluray/DVD player, media console and webbrowser.
Regardless it is NOT a PC, and I fail to see any benefit of installing Linux on it other than saying 'hey look what I can do!' Interesting academic exercise, but practically pointless.
The other problem is that the majority of available hardware and drivers don't support GL 3.x. No open-source driver does, and in fact most Intel, Radeon, and nVidia hardware already in use can only do GL 2.x.
That's simply not true at all. Even my laptop supports OpenGL 3.x
The whole point about trying to learn about other planets is it gives us a better perspective on our own planet. It also works in reverse as NASA has been doing a lot of terrestrial research for years.
Why not go after the evangelical christian fundamentalist groups in the US that trick their members into giving them millions of dollars. The members live in the poorhouse, while the leaders live is up on donations.
Money is always more important then people. Just look at the sentence Madoff got (150 years). Serial killers and mass murderers don't get that much time.
Why? I really don't get it. Just because you don't believe what they believe (neither do I btw) why must they be attacked? Is this not supposed to be a society where you can freely believe whatever you want to believe?
When people think of an EMP gun, they think of a device that emits an electomagnetic pulse similar to that one emitted by a nuclear blast. That type of gun does not exist, and this gun is not an EMP gun in that sense.
This gun does NOT emit an EMP that destroys electronics. It emits a directional microwave signal (note that a true EMP is omnidirectional) that indices a current on metal objects in its path. In this demo that current tripped the onboard electronics on the car (or more likely just blew the fuse).
Really? How many physicists do you know that say they are going to tun on the EMP (instead of lights) or say they are going to EMP their lunch (instead of microwave)?
Unless he stays perfectly aerodynamic when he goes through the sound barrier he going to explode in the same manner that many airplanes did before they figured out they needed a pointed nose cone to soften the impact.
Yes thats right - they had to use a manual camera because of the devastating effects of the EMP gun. Sure.
PPS: If you consider heath care socialist, then public schools and the court systems are also socialist? Don't confuse socialism with social programs - they are not the same thing.
Wrong. They would be affected, since EM induction occurs anyway, whether things are on or off.
Yes it occurs but since the computers are off they will not lock up. The only thing that happens when hit by this microwave is a current is induced which locks up the microprocessor, or WORST case, blows a fuse. It's not going to fry anything.
What you mean is that the cars would not crash if they are not moving.
No thats not what I meant. Even if it were moving it wouldn't crash. Its the same as running out of gas - you coast to a stop.
And the dealership would likely also lose all its computers, communications, and anything else electronic on the site, whether on or off.
No they wouldn't - nothing would happen at all. This is NOT an EMP, its a directed microwave pulse that induces a current on whatever is in the line of sight. Don't believe me? Then explain how the video camera that was filming what happened STAYED ON without even so much as a minor glitch??

Well if you go back far enough sure, and the old stuff doesn't support DirectX 10 or 11 either. You can say that of any new technology / hardware.
My 2 year old car doesn't have a bluetooth interface. What's your point?
Liberal means anti-government intervention, conservative means the opposite.

Critics of President Obama have called his goals socialist
Those critics are idiots since they dont know what socialist means.
Yes, yes, and I use mine as a bluray/DVD player, media console and webbrowser.

Keep your ignorant political views out of this.
Replace 'volunteer' with 'patent lawyers', then turn around and forget about them and you got yourself a deal!
Unless someone can make an as-yet unknown value proposition for going back to the moon, it's a waste of resources.
So what exactly would you have several hundred thousand scientists, engineers, manufacturers, technicians all skilled in space flight technology DO?
Actually the moon is fairly rich in titanium - enough to mine.
You are a fool. Go do something useful with your life.
So what?
Why not go after the evangelical christian fundamentalist groups in the US that trick their members into giving them millions of dollars. The members live in the poorhouse, while the leaders live is up on donations.
They are far more evil than the Scientologists.
You do realize that the PS3 is a GAMING console right? Sounds like you should be buying a PC if you want to run Linux.
Money is always more important then people. Just look at the sentence Madoff got (150 years). Serial killers and mass murderers don't get that much time.
The attacks on Scientology are admirable
Why? I really don't get it. Just because you don't believe what they believe (neither do I btw) why must they be attacked? Is this not supposed to be a society where you can freely believe whatever you want to believe?
WOW. With an attitude like that I think I'd rather be a member of Scientology than a member of that group.
Pawns, cannon fodder, deluded idiots. Pick your label.

Well since you call everything a n EMP your job could vary from geneticist to watering plants.
Unless he stays perfectly aerodynamic when he goes through the sound barrier he going to explode in the same manner that many airplanes did before they figured out they needed a pointed nose cone to soften the impact.
Yes thats right - they had to use a manual camera because of the devastating effects of the EMP gun. Sure.

So I guess I'm not the only one to think this guy is going to die doing this stunt.
