I personally applaud the technology and look forward to seeing a world with this in widespread use but I love my car and have absolutely no intention of replacing it. Now, I'll add all the sensors, (already have most in place hooked up via arduino) but how is this going to work for manual/standard transmissions? In any case, not my car.

It's actually legal in the state of Cali to lane split. In addtion, bicycles have been known to do this too. It's a valid point, how about you not be a cunt on the internet?

I hope we keep extensive, redundant dna samples. There's no reason we can't at least keep a record for posterity.

This statement gets my complete support. Been using Intel i915 for XBMC for at least 3 years and it's been a rock solid experience. I had some initial trouble when the kernel mode setting was introduced (before you needed an app to write to the video bios so you could get the 1920x1080 resolution) but extremely minor and long past, I have to agree, I'll be looking for Intel net time I put together a HTPC.

I'm currently using a mac mini with the Intel i910 driver and a broadcom crystalhd mini-pci-E card. 1920x1080, both CPUs run at about 30% decoding 1080p. Works very well for me.

And years from now, if the United States wins this World war that has already begun, we will teach our children, that they started it first.

Agreed, that was my inital reaction as well, but at least it's not locked to facebook users (I don't have one and was able to read it) and his facebook post got what I dare call "insightful" responses, namely that Comcast's app pulls entirely from within thier network, so why would it count against your cap if there was no peering/transit costs to deliver your packets. Fair arguement, in my mind. Of course, I think download caps are EVIL.

I did the exact same thing.

OK, so you go out and vote for Ron Paul in the primaries. He doesn't win. Maybe Santorum is the nominee. Now who do you vote for in the general election?

You write in "Ron Paul".

As always, Ron Paul.

Are you really saying that it's a weapons enrichment program, contrary to our own CIA and national security reports? Also keep in mind that civilian generation of nuclear power is within their rights under the IAEA?

I mean, if you have some evidence, please produce it. Fear doesn't count.

Also, at this point, with a foreign hostile nuclear power fighting wars of occupation on both sides of their country, I would want a nuke too.

Actually the point of storing email in SQL isn't just for indexing, there's a huge speed advantage. DBMail (which I've administered and installed) is used for high volume mail transactions, on the order of 200,000k per sec. Also, having a DB backend carries with it all the advantages of having a DB, snapshots, mirroring, cross-regional updates, backups, etc. I agree, you can definitely get by without it but having email in a database is nice.

Do you think the powers that be care about some Mom/Pop Vietnamese grocery store?

...prove you are innocent...

I'm no longer so naive that I can't recognize the futility of saying "You can't prove a negative, and under our system of jurisprudence, the burden lays on them having to prove you are guilty, not you having to prove you are innocent"....but that's no longer true is it, if indeed it ever was. It makes me sad that we are falling into that.

My other point, if there's any to be made, is that if you allow your router to have open access for all, you can claim common carrier status and be exempt from the actions of your "users". Comcast doesn't get arrested for someone downloading kiddie porn using their network, why should you?

3rd point and this is the most important, is that there is an increasing digital divide between those who have and those who don't. If you are poor, out of work, etc, it's a lot easier to get a laptop than it is to get internet service. I don't want my bandwidth abused as I am a heavy downloader but I have WRT-DD installed and I'll be looking into segregating and rate limiting my wireless connection.

The older I get, the more I realize that it's going to be important for the good of all for people to start breaking free of the corporate binds. In the future, I can't help thinking that there might be some poor kid, with an old laptop, and having even a 5k connection (remember that?) might mean the difference between having a future and not having one.

So, do what you want, all of you but I'm the type of guy who runs tor on his laptop hooked to his iphone all night just to piss off ATT. Flooding our corporate overseers with lots of misleading info is one good way to hide yourself. There's a lot of good reasons to consider doing this but separate VLAN and rate limiting are mandatory first

Then my next missile will be a 100KiloTon yield. Jam away at 1000 watts, I'll be close enough to vaporize you.

Remember the answer to a technical foe is by being crude. They have a lot of tech to make your missile miss the target, make the missile big enough to include the target even at the widest miss.

That's the strength of crude solutions tho, for the amount of money it would take for you to make one missile, I could easily make 5000 jammers. Maybe even have enough left over to bury close enough to the missile's launch point to make the creator regret making such a big bomb.
