  1. Re:C'mon guys, use your heads on How Wiretaps Actually Work (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Nope there is just recorded conversations from Sessions and Flynn, along with transcripts. So I guess the recorded conversations came from a magical tool that records someones conversation that isn't a wiretap that doesn't need a court order.

    The Obama DOJ basically did nothing, no one was fired , no one went to jail, no one was charged. One person resigned and is living off a fat pension from the US government. So Obama rewarded the bad behavior.

    The entire Russian angle was started by Clinton Campaign. So the entire FBI/DOJ followed the direction of the Clinton Campaign and the Democrats. Yep sure , Trump is the crazy one, how about you look in the mirror.

  7. Intel's shady tatics on Ask Slashdot: Why Are There No Huge Leaps Forward In CPU/GPU Power? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Intel is up to their shady tactics again with AMD's new Ryzen release. Maybe not out right paying off computer makers, just now they are sponsoring reviewers. The reviewers jump through all kinds of hoops to make sure that Intel is on top of the benchmark graphics and read like a Intel marketing brochure. None of the reviewers disclose that they are sponsored by Intel.
    Examples of oddities from reviewers that are sponsored by Intel.

    1) Tom's Hardware: Complains about the power consumption being higher than spec, leaves out that the result was from a overclocked test and an MSI board that has an additional CPU power.
    2) GamersNexus (one worst of them)
    a) Had to compared the 1800x to 6 different Intel processors that were overclocked with the 6900k overclocked by 700Mhz.
    b) Only one AMD processor was OC by -100Mhz(yep) . There OC vs stock were almost exactly same.
    c) Makes the 6900k pop on the top of the benchmarks.
    d)1800X only loses 6 vs 8 to the Intel 6900k at stock speeds. With only 2 benchmarks with the 1800x losing by more than 7fps.
    e)Pretty much all benchmarks by the same author never included OC tests, but suddenly he had to compare it to 6 different OC benchmarks. http://www.gamersnexus.net/gam... http://www.gamersnexus.net/gam...
    f) Out right lied saying AMD told him not to benchmark Ryzen at 1920x1080. AMD just asked him to benchmark at multiple resolutions , not just 1080P.

    No the coworker is dead because Garmin is abusing the system for an H1B visa. There is NO reason a H1B visa should have EVER been granted. Example Garmin tried recruiting me but their offer was 20k less than all the other offers in the same state.

  13. No but I know for fact that Garmin is about 20k lower for starting salaries for a software engineer in the same state and similar city.

  19. 1. Remove deductions for Intellectual Property payments. This is the chief way corporations avoid tax.

    True, but it would never stand up in an IRS court. Intellectual property-ie patents are considered real property.
    Unless patent law is changed significantly there would be no legal grounds for objecting by the IRS.

    To naively ASSUME it would be SUPER EASY to PORT Android to another KERNEL stack is just STUPID. IT would take YEARS to be able to support the HUNDREDS of different HARDWARE PLATFORMS .
    Linux still isn't even there all the way with vendor hardware support, you think vendors are just going to jump and support your new OS kernel, I think not.

    How is inciting a riot and burglary that much different? Robert Creamer that actually visited the Obama WH 300+ times, 40+ meetings with Obama.His direct report Scott Foval also visited the WH.

    Don't even try to use snopes or politifact that pulls a red herring by stating, well they didn't pay them to directly beat someone up, completely ignoring that inciting riots isn't legal.
