Are you sure it is a standard realtek onboard audio?
One of the titles I help support at my job was written back in 1999 and it works very well with the standard onboard realtek audio, but HP/Compaq uses a non-standard realtek audio that makes the audio all wonky.
It's still a realtek audio chipset, but it seems to have had some functionality removed to make it cheaper to produce.
I disagree. You shouldn't shit on someones accomplishments just because someone else didn't have the opportunity.
Straight out of high school I had to help my parents maintain a roof over our heads so I really didn't have an opportunity to go to college, should I therefor discriminate against those who were able to?
There are certain physical requirements to enlisting in the military that are, let's say, not specifically geek-centric. Further, until very recently, they were notorious for automatically disqualifying approximately 10% of the population based upon... a questionable criterion.
There are plenty of reasons why the military would have rejected otherwise perfectly suitable IT workers.
Yes the military does discriminate against people who are physically disabled. And honestly when I tried to join up I was rejected even though my scores were outstanding, yes they do discriminate against others for non physical reasons, with me it was mainly because I really was a complete fuck up at the time. Getting properly medicated has been a tremendous boon to my life.
Now that doesn't mean that we should ignore if someone has served their country in the hiring process just because someone who was physically disabled wasn't able to join.
If you were born physically disabled you should already know that you will have to work twice as hard and be twice as qualified if you want a job. It ain't fair, but it is the truth. There are foundations and charities set up to help the disabled do exactly that.
If you are physically disabled you really need to do very well in school because no ones going to hire you just because you have a strong back, they will be hiring you for your brain. Study hard, get a scholarship and obtain skills.
If you are currently unemployed and disabled use the downtime to study your ass off so that you will be better qualified.
Hell, lets say they were 100% equally qualified...rather than maybe flip a coin, you always go to the military guy? That seems a bit slanted and discriminatory...etc
Not a flip of the coin, if you have two equally qualified people applying to the job you would hire the one who interviewed best.
A good resume might get you an interview, but it won't necessarily get you a job.
You hire people who couldn't make it past private and you will have those problems.
Hire someone who has been working in a technical field in the military who has been promoted a few times and you will get an entirely different result.
When you hire someone you always look at their past job history to determine if the person is going to work well in your organization.
This is a standard practice, you would be a moron not to do that.
Yes, I will more likely higher someone with military background vs someone with a fast food background.
I guess you would be technically correct, discrimination happens, but it is not illegal unless the discrimination is based on something the individual cannot change, such as their skin color or place of birth.
Remember, you can always join up, serve your country for a few years and when you get out you too can enjoy the perks of being ex-military if it is that big of a deal for you.
Getting shot while wearing a bullet proof vest HURTS A LOT!!!
All the vest does is stop the bullet from penetrating, it does not absorb much of the energy. Getting shot by a pistol while wearing a bullet proof vest will knock you on your ass and you will be in pain. Getting shot in your clipboard, painless.
This would be the bullet proof vests that a standard cop would wear, not the hard plate ones like the military uses.

With contacts like those I would think your eyes would almost always be irritated.
I hate to be rude, but..
If you don't know what something is look it the fuck up.
Thank you.
The only times I have seen a CPU fail is when the motherboard failed and took out the CPU with it.
I've been able to repair every bent pin I've come across.

I could write out a nice long explanation of why you are wrong, but I now see that your head is so far up your ass it wouldn't matter what I wrote.
Your reply states things I have never said, things that apparently seem to be entirely in your head.
Seek help.

If you are such a fuck up that the military wouldn't take you don't be surprised if no one hires you.

The military is has also recently been a good place for gangs to send their members for training.

Can you please explain exactly how this would be discriminatory?
Low wages probably won't discourage ex-military, they are rather used to it.
Because we are getting to the point in technology that us humans won't be able to perceive the difference in graphics.
You can only make something so lifelike, after that you might as well aim at efficiency.
I think he means bacteria, mold, or insects.
Why do you say it would be interesting?
The answer is such a given that your question is actually rhetorical.

I'm not going to name names, but some of these were large firms that you may have heard of.
Please name names. How are these things going to change if they aren't brought to light?
Monty Python music?
I think you mean Benny Hill music, aka Yakety Sax.
Yakety Sax makes everything funny.
I find it funny that conservatives argue against "experts".
How in the hell are you guys proud that you elect stupid people?
The GOP is more about not passing laws.
The progressives are more about creating regulations.
Therefor this is clearly right up the alley of the GOP.
Patriot Act.
Just because a law is passed, doesn't mean it got read.
The smaller the time frame for it to be debated and voted means that it will be a 100% knee jerk vote, much like how the Patriot Act got voted in.
Just because you make it more difficult for government to work correctly doesn't mean that the government won't work, it will just not work correctly.
Um ok, so Scott Adams is proposing the U.S. Government Accountability Office?

It's not opt-in for the employers, it's the law.
