    The current line up of AMD GPUs have far more stream processors than the NVIDIA models, and run at roughly the same clock speed. Why would anybody buy the NVIDIA ones?

  10. Re:The usual. on House Passes Amendment To Block Funds For Net Neutrality · · Score: 5, Informative

    That's not at all what they're doing here. The article is intentionally misleading.

    This is a bill HR. 68 "To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to prohibit Federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting after fiscal year 2013. "

    Further they didn't even pass this yet, they merely referred it to committee. Indeed there isn't even any pork in it. http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.68:

  14. Re:Free Staters? on New Hampshire Begins Open-Data Efforts · · Score: 1

    A Corporation is not capable of spending money for consumption purposes, only the individuals who make up the corporation are, so why tax the entity at all?

  15. Re:Capitalism on Is Setting Up an Offshore IT Help Desk Ethical? · · Score: 2

    Social Security is just a cookie jar to be raped by fiscally careless politicians

    Social Security is now and has always been a pyramid scheme. The problem with Social Security is structural, not due to careless politicians (unless you want to talk about the ones who set it up).

    They made the car out of carbon fiber, so no duh they get amazing millage. Unfortunately it probably also costs > 100k in raw materials alone.

    Actually you have that backwards the baby boomers payed into social security which was immediately payed out to their parents generation who never paid anything into the system. The entire thing is basically a pyramid scheme targeting the boomers.

    Traditionally, how have the contents of wallets, etc. been considered? Because a phone is in much the same situation...

    That's a pretty obviously false statement. The contents of a wallet can be searched because they could be dangerous to the officer. How much data has ever physically harmed a police officer making an arrest?

  24. Re:Fascinating... on Stuxnet Authors Made Key Errors · · Score: 1

    The analysis is retarded. The worm didn't use sophisticated protection mechanisms because those significantly increase the likelihood the the payload wont ever get executed.

    Obviously in a situation like this trying to add obfuscation is entirely useless, either the payload is executed and the damage done or it's not.

  25. Re:real science on Bastardi's Wager · · Score: -1

    Tell me, does the theory of evolution by natural selection allow you to predict how long it will take for speciation to occur again within Homo sapiens?

    No, but more importantly it doesn't claim to be able to. AGW claims to be able to predict the future, evolution merely explains the past.
