    " The album is on my phone so I hope it downloaded over a week ago!"

    Nope, this all started about three days ago. That's when I heard Rob Zombie throwing a fit over it.

    Sintering, plastic welding, same difference. Played with both, given proper forming materials you can 3D print and CNC mill a finalized piece. It's how I make PCB and housing for my LED panels.

    A clueless, witless idiot that uses threats to try to get his way.

    Tactless, incorrect (the fact he mentions MAC addresses of modems proves he doesn't know jack shit, when that only identifies a gateway device, not an actual user, much like an IP address,) clueless, bull-headed, autistic child without a fucking clue. This is why he has to post AC on Slashdot and why he is banned from Wikipedia.

    "What you mention is WHY they have you register any modems you buy that aren't theirs into THEIR network (for tracking purposes)."

    I haven't had to register the last two devices of mine. In fact, that's why I've got two full-speed connections for the price of one.

    NASA successfully printed and tested some high-stress components for their rockets, so I'd assume one might be able to make a reasonably powerful engine if one had access to the same grade of technology.

    Yet you fail to provide proof I'm talking out of my ass.

    But you couldn't prove me wrong, as ANYONE with any clue about programing x86-64 ASM can testify - I'm fucking right.

    Protip: I've done both x86-64 and IA-64 programming.

    "If you can't make your profit in 5 years, then your product was never very good in the first place."

    I could think of several exceptions to that. Music that was way ahead in style for the time and age in which it was produced is just the first one that pops into my head at the moment. Need coffee.

    The 4S will be his last Apple phone. He was not pleased to find the newest U2 album suddenly breaking up his electronica mix, and having eaten about 3% of his monthly data plan, all without his permission.

    " both the leading 32-bit architectures also gained more registers and new instructions when moving to a 64-bit architecture."

    When AMD introduced x86-64, there were no new instruction sets added, only registers. It even already supported SSE and SSE2, and in fact is GOT RID of some instructions while operating in 64-bit mode, such as saving/restoring of segment registers on the stack, saving/restoring of all registers, decimal arithmetic, BOUND and INTO instructions, and "far" jumps and calls with immediate operands, plus in 64-bit mode the x87 FPU register stack isn't even utilized.

    Intel had an actual instruction set change with the Itanium (IA-64)

  12. I just give them access on Turning the Tables On "Phone Tech Support" Scammers · · Score: 5, Funny

    I keep an old XP laptop loaded with furry porn, pictures of cows and pigs being slaughtered, BDSM porn, transsexual midget porn, stuff from rotten.com/ogrish like beheadings, gential mutilation, etc., set on random rotate every second for the desktop with a nice fading transition, everything locked except the remote assistance tool, and when they call I put that machine live and let them in.

    The extortion begins, and then they see something that invariably offends the piss out of them while they're forced to watch a constantly-changing desktop wallpaper they can't stop, and the extortion ends with me laughing in their ears.

    Endless entertainment. I even got a "You're the sickest thing existing on this planet." from some chick that was playing the scam.

    I lol'd hard at that one.

    I'm alive, barely. With titanium replacing part of my femur, plastic/kevlar replacing my kneecap, my wrist rebuilt, my chin slightly screwed, injury-induced lumbosacral arthritis, a healed T-12 compression fracture with a nasty disposition, and a nice StarFleet insignia-shaped scar at my shin.

    Two nurses coming off-shift were behind the guy and witnessed it all happen. Their account, I was hit, sent flying, partially crushed as the truck rolled over me. Their assessment; no pulse, no breathing, no response of any sort. Dead on impact. According to them, after 20 minutes of straight CPR I was resuscitated and about five minutes later paramedics arrived and called for an airlift.

    This was a story on the local Memphis news. June 18, 2007. You can probably see a blurb about it in the Commercial Appeal archives.

    SFP/SFC bypass. How the fuck do you think Blaster worked on XP?

    It is also possible to differentiate HOSTS file resolution vs DNS resolution, and bypass by forcing you through a proxy. Your HOSTS will not bypass this.

    Here's what your HOSTS file does to websites: http://i.imgur.com/BMR5Qnc.png

    Again, my point is 100% proven. You are 100% full of shit.

    I run and design websites for a job. Guess what? Your HOSTS file idea, long before you started spouting it, was one of the first things for me to bypass, by request of my employer.

    And the fun part is, I can keep ads from showing to you long enough for you to whitelist the site, and then slam your ass with ads anyways. See a new IP address? No ads displays for several visits, then BAM show ads on your 5th visit from that IP.

    Absolutely trivial to implement in PHP and AJAX. Takes eight lines of code. I could probably do it in two if the web supported brainfuck.
