Bullshit. The fact that the information gets sent at all is prima facie evidence that it's being abused. The burden of proof is on the government to justify it.

Bullshit, the fact that you were arrested by police and prosecuted by the DA is prima facie evidence that you are not innocent. The burden of proof is on you to justify yourself.

You can't change what "evidence" means because it suits your ideological goals.

Comment Re:pfsense (Score 1) 403

btw, the hardware I'm using is kind of neat. its fanless atom N2800. an intel board that is low profile mini-itx and has an onboard dc-dc so you give it 18v (from an external brick) and that's the whole psu story. onboard is an msata port and I have a 4gb sandisk halfsize ssd that runs pfsense. the m350 case has an adapter that takes a right angle pci-e card adapter and you can use a decent chipset pci-e card for your 2nd nic. the first nice is a nice intel chip. no fans, decent speed and has been stable for years at a time, for me.

mini-itx fanless and intel gig-e chips for nics are the things to look for, imho. there are i3 chips that are 35w and with a good case, you can run them fanless, too (htpc case with heatpipes). if you need an i3, you can do that and still be silent (that matters to me).

"was that wrong? should I not have done that?"

yes, its now a meme. a lame meme, at that.

but marriot became 'george' and acted all surprised when they were called out on their shit.

damned big business. in the US, they think they are god. and we pray to them, LIKE they are gods.

in a way, its our own fault for giving too much power to big business.

will we ever learn????

quoting a hadith:

Until the Jew hides behind the rock and the tree. But the rock and tree will say: 'O Muslim, O servant of Allah, a Jew hides behind me, come and kill him.' Except for the Gharqad tree, which is the tree of the Jews. We believe in this Hadith. We are convinced also that this Hadith heralds the spread of Islam and its rule over all the land.... O Allah, accept our martyrs in the highest heavens.... O Allah, show the Jews a black day.... O Allah, annihilate the Jews and their supporters.... O Allah, raise the flag of Jihad across the land.... O Allah, forgive our sins

sorry, but islam IS evil. read the fucked up shit they believe. talking trees and rocks suggesting that they kill those who are different.

this needs to go! I suggest we all vote them off the island. (btw, they are thinking the same thing, as shown above!)

how christian of the pope to advocate turning the other cheek.

oh, wait. he never advocated that. he suggested a punch in the face.

WOW.

fake pope is fake. again. nothing godly about such people. they are born, they get sick and die like the rest of us and they eat and shit like the rest of us. the whole concept of a pope is actually funny to me, but I didn't grow up christian, so I was never brainwashed to think this guy had anything that the rest of us didn't.

agreed with all of that except 'be respectful'.

I refuse to respect religion. its been an untouchable sacred cow (how's that for mixing metaphors?) for far too long in earth's history and I (and a bunch of others like me) would like to finally see some progress in this 'bearded sky wizard' bullshit fairy story stuff that we shove down kids' throats and brainwash them at early ages to think in terms of fake heros and 'saviors'.

you can continue to think that those things are real, but I DO NOT HAVE TO RESPECT YOU or your beliefs. same as if you 'knew' that the loch ness monster was real or that you that 'knew' that bigfoot was real. I'd think the same of you if you were a bigfoot believer or a jesus believer. same thing to me.

Comment Re:i5? Call me when they have the i7 (Score 1) 97

for a case, check this one out: streacom fc8-evo

supports well over 75w tdp. so a 45w tdp is no problem at all, even at full load.

there is a case that is identical to the fc8-evo by 'perfect home theater' (in the boston area) and their case is quite a bit cheaper and pretty much the same thing as the streacom version.

you have to buy a mini-itx board and you also have to be careful if you need the 'long heat pipes' or 'short heat pipes', based on where the cpu socket is located. the perfect home theater store will sell you either (or both) of the HP lengths so you are covered.

highly recommended for a silent and super fast pc.

Comment Re:i5? Call me when they have the i7 (Score 0) 97

all modern os's wake up and do things, on their own. this competes with user tasks. having more cpus or threads or cores helps with this.

so, yes, i5 and i7 are helpful for even 'simple' desktop users. and my htpc is an i7, with 8 real cores, so that my movies are even that much resistant to being jittered by other proc's waking up and demanding cpu time.
