  1. Re:Problem of perception? on Mozilla MemShrink Set To Fix Firefox Memory · · Score: 2

    I have 16GB of Ram and FF4 is using almost 4Gigs of it while also having one of my cores floored at 100%. I've had the same window open for 2 weeks and I have 48tabs open for some reason... I'll probbaly restart it soonish the CPU usage seems to be video related since Netflix is playing though it is odd only one core is pegged by just the firefox.exe yet the plugin-container.exe barely use any resources

  2. PS Vita... on Carmack On the Wii U and PS Vita · · Score: 2

    The PS Vita is basically a 5 inch tablet in a gaming friendly frame given it's touch abilities there no technical reason for Sony not to have an app market beyond the basic ps store for games

    I'd think they'd be far safer in the front and rear quarter panels I wouldn't want a capacitor in my cars door or roof that is just asking for trouble when it comes to accidents especially ones where the passengers might have to be cut free from a wreck.

    You are right about it being a grey area but skydiving or other such things aren't breaking any laws and drug related things would be alot harder to prove and probably pointless to try and due but if your injured while breaking the law it would seem a valid reason for the feds to deny you of course one could have private supplemental insurance like a I'm a a dumbass cover plan

    Actually they're taking money from the young and giving it to the old since the money the old people paid was long gone before they saw a dime of it and by the time I'm 65 it won't even exist as we will be bankrupt... It's a legal and mandated ponzi scheme.

    I wasn't talking about low income or the poor let alone the truly sick as I don't mind most programs to help feed or educate the poor as long as they can't milk the government all there lives while they do nothing. I actually think the government should be in charge of and pay for care for truly sick or people with major illness like cancer but should it and by extension us have to pay for a smoker who gets lung cancer or druggie who gets HIV or a drunk driver who wrecks there car and is paralyzed?

    Most governments don't have the same government system as us and don't have the overly and needless complex regulations and tax code we have. It has nothing to do with fear of government it all comes down to massive redundant bureaucracy and greed.

    Because people are stupid and seem to think big daddy government is there with his hand outs and safe net so you can keep buying your designer purse or fancy cars you can't even afford and know the government will provide for you. Social security has been a joke for decades thanks to the raping congress gives it with all the worthless IOUs besides the payout is barely enough to live on if you don't own you house or work a part time job. Medicare and Medicaid are being ripped off for billions and are poorly manged from the top down. The country needs real healthcare reform not the joke that is Obamacare given it was written by special interest groups for there interests not ours and pretty much everyone not paying there own is getting a waiver and frankly all health insurance companies should by law be non-profit with no way to funnel unused funds to outside for profit companies like Blue cross can do here in Michigan and instead use most left over funds to reduce premiums for the next year and/or as a buffer if the funds don't match up year to year.

    The government how shown it can't run a viable healthcare program to save it's life or yours for that matter let alone one that won't bankrupt the nation so why the hell do people want to give it more control to make it even worse... I'm all for more realistic regulation, limits, and minimums as long as the feds can't touch a dime of the money for any reason.

  16. Re:Its not the speed that is the problem. on Obama Calling For $53B For High Speed Rail · · Score: 1

    So whats enough debt for you? 15,000,000,000,000 20? 30? The reason to not build this is because it will be way more then 53billion. You need to build an entirely separate rail system that bypasses all railroad crossing to really support 250mph trains and if you don't you're pissing in the wind waiting for the 70mph freight trains or god forbid you hit a car or semi at a crossing. Even the current highish speed Acela has a slow ass 70mph average speed despite it's top speed of 150mph+.
    It's a waste of everyone's money if they plan to just upgrade existing freight tracks so "high speed" passenger trains can run on them. Another issue is would the trains be electric or gas powered? We have no real sections of track build that support proper overhead high speed electric trains like most of Europe. Would we end up with 250mph trains going 110+mph for short bursts so they can claim it meets the definite of a high speed train in the US? If it's not cheaper, easier, less annoying (TSA), and almost as fast as flying then no one will bother.

    Given the DHS was already looking into securing the passenger rail systems before Obama's speech and despite what he said it's likely we would end up having to be scanned and groped to ride the train so why wouldn't people just pay a little more and be there faster while taking a jet?

    The main problem with this besides the above is we have other major problems with our infrastructure that the money would be better spent on. Most water/sewer system are near collapse along with our bridges. Vast sections of the countries roads need to be replaced. Our power grid is poorly built and laid out and needs major upgrades and new power plants even more so if we add electric trains and cars to the grid.

    I'd rather see 53billion in new nuclear/solar/wind power plants and a vastly more upgraded and interlinked transmission system to move the power they would provide then some pipe dream HSR people might hopefully use.

    Well can they use the jailbreak to play off of BD-R discs? BD-Rs are down to $1 for a 25gb disc. If I'm not mistaken most ps3 games are not 50gb dual layer disc but simple 25gb blurays. Some of the exclusive games probably are over 25gb but cross platform games are unlikely to hit 25+gb since its extra info no other system will use. It's the 90% of people who ruin it for the 10% who want to play with the hardware.

    In the US this is a joke. Until you have 100Mb min speed with no monthly cap for almost every person bluray is the only way to get real HD videos with full surround sound. The average size of a Bluray is 19GB some can be as small as 13GB other are as large as 40GB... I really don't want to be streaming a 19GB movie when the national average speed is 4Mb.
