This is APK

A clueless, witless idiot that uses threats to try to get his way.

Tactless, incorrect (the fact he mentions MAC addresses of modems proves he doesn't know jack shit, when that only identifies a gateway device, not an actual user, much like an IP address,) clueless, bull-headed, autistic child without a fucking clue. This is why he has to post AC on Slashdot and why he is banned from Wikipedia.

"What you mention is WHY they have you register any modems you buy that aren't theirs into THEIR network (for tracking purposes)."

I haven't had to register the last two devices of mine. In fact, that's why I've got two full-speed connections for the price of one.

"If you can't make your profit in 5 years, then your product was never very good in the first place."

I could think of several exceptions to that. Music that was way ahead in style for the time and age in which it was produced is just the first one that pops into my head at the moment. Need coffee.

Comment Re:32 vs 64 (Score 1) 208

" both the leading 32-bit architectures also gained more registers and new instructions when moving to a 64-bit architecture."

When AMD introduced x86-64, there were no new instruction sets added, only registers. It even already supported SSE and SSE2, and in fact is GOT RID of some instructions while operating in 64-bit mode, such as saving/restoring of segment registers on the stack, saving/restoring of all registers, decimal arithmetic, BOUND and INTO instructions, and "far" jumps and calls with immediate operands, plus in 64-bit mode the x87 FPU register stack isn't even utilized.

Intel had an actual instruction set change with the Itanium (IA-64)

Comment I just give them access (Score 5, Funny) 210

I keep an old XP laptop loaded with furry porn, pictures of cows and pigs being slaughtered, BDSM porn, transsexual midget porn, stuff from rotten.com/ogrish like beheadings, gential mutilation, etc., set on random rotate every second for the desktop with a nice fading transition, everything locked except the remote assistance tool, and when they call I put that machine live and let them in.

The extortion begins, and then they see something that invariably offends the piss out of them while they're forced to watch a constantly-changing desktop wallpaper they can't stop, and the extortion ends with me laughing in their ears.

Endless entertainment. I even got a "You're the sickest thing existing on this planet." from some chick that was playing the scam.

I lol'd hard at that one.
