Comment Re:Issues I've had. (Score 3, Informative) 410

I'm running three monitors on Windows XP, with a Radeon x1650 driving two and a Geforce 7600 running the other one. It was literally a matter of installing the ATI drivers, then the nVidia drivers, then checking a couple checkboxes. Both Catalyst and Nvidia control panel work fine.

Maybe I happened to pick a couple cards that don't interfere with each other?

So, it is OK (to whomever) to censor when we can make a buck?

Yes, because Google is a corporation whose responsibility is to its shareholders, not to the people of China.

If search engines censor to make a buck, where is their line drawn (to make a buck)?

They draw the line when they run a cost-benefit analysis and find that making that buck harms their reputation by more than a buck's worth.

"Don't be evil" is a very good motto because it makes people believe that the corporation has ethics and responsibility, rather than being a mindless money-making machine. The people running Google have just decided that they can best make money by endearing themselves to people.

Submission + - World on course for catastrophic 6C rise (independent.co.uk)

jamie writes: "The world is now firmly on course for the worst-case scenario in terms of climate change, with average global temperatures rising by up to 6C by the end of the century, leading scientists said yesterday. Such a rise — which would be much higher nearer the poles — would have cataclysmic and irreversible consequences for the Earth, making large parts of the planet uninhabitable and threatening the basis of human civilisation."

So then what is it about the US that seems to drive it to a two-party system?

Being Canadian I have more of an outside perspective, I suppose. I'm used to there being four or five viable parties. Many countries in Europe have more parties than you can count on your hands. Why have they been able to stay away from the two-party system?
