    "So far nobody has ever called me on it."

    Well, with Equifax's shitstorm, you aren't getting away with that any longer.

  2. "You're an idiot. Not because you like those things, but because you think limiting script CPU as I described would make them all fail."

    You're an idiot for not fucking realizing that with today's modern bloat the simplest shit can run your CPU cycles way the fuck where they shouldn't, and that your script would fuck the page or process over.

    It's like you failed your basic ASM and C programming. I sure as fuck wouldn't trust anything your ass codes.

    Why would I want the Browser to do this when the OS already does? Set process affinity to run on only a couple of cores. I don't trust the browser makers to get one fucking thing right given the shit state of internet security they caused.

    "has anyone seen any layman accessible explanation for why the fact that the owner has sovereign immunity should make any difference in the challenge process of a US patent being enforced in the US?"

    Indian territories are sovereign nations within the United States, and don't have to follow all of the Federal and State rules. If you trespass on Indian Land, they can simply make you disappear and the Feds can't do SHIT about it.

    Someone should let Sony know that Keyssa is violating their patents.

  9. First thing they should do is get rid of all of those sellers with 'genuine' emerald rough and shit with the bullshit certification cards. If they can't guarantee genuine ROCKS then I wouldn't count on them being able to distinguish genuine electronics or clothing brands.

    Oh, wait, this is probably another scam to get you to pay to avoid commingling.

    Technically, yes you do need the impression. Most banks will decline CC transactions without the impression of the card demonstrating that the card was indeed physically present for the transaction. This is to cut down on CC fraud by unscrupulous vendors double-charging or skimming the numbers to sell to a friend later on.

    Also I guess you never listened to Kendrick Lamar's 'Damn' album which was done almost entirely on an iPhone. It sounds 1,000x better than any Metallica original or remaster.

    Loads of commercial Li-ions use platinum anodes. That's one of the big recycling recovery points next to hard drive platter surfaces (which have a thin layer of platinum vapor-deposited on the surface.) We use it for.... stopping the whiskering that happens and kills batteries, since platinum is quite noble and doesn't whisker like nickel-zinc or other various chemistries.

    If you thought that little 1S li-ion battery in your quadcopter is capable of 20C power draw without that highly-conductive anode, you're mistaken.

    Yes, it has to for high-precision lapidary work, especially on precious opal, in fact I can put my entire weight on the blade and it barely flexes. Power consumption, 10W every hour nonstop? Yes, actually less than that since it runs on 5V 400 mA.

    Welcome to like 1980, old timer. This sort of tech and alloy has been around for DECADES, you're only now catching up to what us faggy jewelry types have had access to for forever, your shit companies just didn't want to pay for the tech back then.

    Platinum anodes for Lithium battery chemistries have been a thing for quite a while, and the price of platinum is pretty high up there (though gold has overtaken it) at a spot price of almost ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER *OUNCE* instead of per Kilogram.

    So using niobium and titanium is a far better, cheaper, and apparently equally-performing alternative.

    Are you even paying attention to the conversation?

    And they jacked the price up even further after the fact. It's already well-known Apple's BOM is ridiculously low.
