    Great post. I'm getting tired of these numnut idiots who are just anti everything and anything. They can't for the life of them do a licks worth of statistical analysis. But, then again, they're the ones who were spending their whole high school and college careers in classes like Art History and Women's Studies, so why should we expect any better?

    ok, you're right! All these places have devices with GPRS connections to the super huge government tracking DB that tracks everyone who has their licenses scanned.

    Yawn... this is getting stupid.

    I went to the U of MN so I spent plenty of time in Dinkytown. And you're right, the loony quotient is quite high in Dinkytown. Hmm... maybe a scientific study is in order!

    I've just strangely looked at the hardware. There's no connection to anything but power. Hell, I've been to bars that have their bouncers with handheld versions of these things.

    But I'm sure they actually sync with the master government DB every night!

    yes, because it's all stored in the SUPER DUPER EVIL GOVERNMENT TRACKING DATABASE!

    You know what those barcode scanners do? They simply read the unencrypted data that is stored in the magnetic strip. They're not connected to any network or anything else.

  13. Re:Great Move, With a Caveat on Driver's Licenses with Digital Watermarks · · Score: 1

    you needed to highlight two parts:

    All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

    nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

    Thus people here on visas are not guaranteed equal protection of the laws as they are not born or natuarlized in the United States.

    Please oh please... I hope you libs just keep chanting your mantras and saying how the people in the red states are idiots!

    Also harp on the idea that those who oppose gay marriage are bigots! Especially since polls show that ~70% of all Americans are against it! Also, repeatedly compare it to racism! The African Americans out there love that! Especially when the large majority of them are also against gay marriage.

    60-65 Republican senators would just be grand!

    You people are so blind to your stupidity that it's just stunning. Oh... and where do I vote for DNC Chair Dean? That'll really show America that you guys are a mainstream party.

    As with 2000, the Democrats probably got the most votes this time around as well, and again had no chance of getting a fair count of them. Your ignorance of what happened in Florida in 2000 is stark, but not astounding. In 2004, we're seeing it all over again, but in more and various places. You should watch the Flash movie in my sig, as it has links to much more info.

    Yes! Look at all the articles in the NYT and WashPo and Boston Globe! All these massive armies of ACLU lawyers who are going across the country keep turning up stunning amounts of voter fraud! Just think for a second about how many reporters across the US and the world would kill for a story exposing this huge voter fraud that you're saying happened. And we've heard absolutely nothing.

  17. Re:Hilarious on Studios Face Off in Next-Gen DVD Format War · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Which seems more likely:

    1. Blu-Ray will win, simply because of the significant difference in storage capacity.

    2. HD-DVD will win, simply because the hardware is easier to manufacture.

    I'm going with #2, especially with those new DVD/HD-DVD discs they have created. Look at it from a manufacturers perspective: with minimal changes to their production lines they have a product that again has a fairly decent margin (at least for a while).

    One would question why they went with Windows CE. Microsoft must have given them an amazing price otherwise it simply would have eaten up too much of the $195. I'm guessing MS is selling them copies at less than $5 a pop, but who know.

    Wouldn't this truly be something much better suited to use Linux or some other freely available OS?

    I'll answer my own question (as it is obvious): Yes.
