Gary Johnston: We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!

Comment Buy local (Score 1, Informative) 266

Fry's Electronics had a 23" IPS Asus display for $270 (granted it is ONLY 1920 x 1080, but it has a fab 5ms GTG response rate). I got the last one they had in the store. I wasn't sure how much of an improvement it would be, but as someone who sits in front of a screen all day for my job, it sure is a nice improvement. The 3D support built-in with polarized glasses is a bonus.

So.. my only point is you don't necessarily need to go through some nefarious eBay listing if you look hard enough for deals, and support your local economy more than sending money through PayScam and the like...

When this blows up in everyone's faces in a couple of presidencies (you know, after insurance premiums shoot through the roof and price fixing is commonplace), don't say I didn't say I told you so.

You must not have been paying attention over the last 10 years, but that's what they have done anyway with or without this legislation. At least now someone outside the insurance industry can step in and prevent it from happening. If you think the insurance industry isn't already colluding with itself on prices, etc, you either aren't very observant or work for an insurance company.

You know there are male specific things too? Like prostate exams? Just because you don't have a vagina doesn't mean you need to exclude services that don't apply to you. It works both ways - females pay for the things that apply to guys, guys pay the things that only apply to females. Since the country is about 50/50 M/F, I'd say it works out... so get over your Republican approved sexism.

the only useful computer is one you have with you

Really? Then how did computers ever make it beyond the server room? Just because you don't value a computer you can't take with you, doesn't mean they aren't useful. Google's search engine runs on computers I don't have with me, and they are somewhat useful.

Yes, the tea bagger way of "fixing things" is to prevent women from voting and control the personal aspects of everyone's lives to make sure everyone believes the same thing as them.

From here

But at no point have remarks approached those made in a recent sermon by Rev. Peterson, a champion of the Tea Party movement, who declared:

"I think that one of the greatest mistakes America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote. We should've never turned this over to women. And these women voting are the wrong people. They're voting in people who are evil who agree with them, who're gonna take us down this pathway of destruction.

"And this probably was the reason they didn't allow women to vote when men were men. Because men in the old days understood the nature of women. They were not afraid to deal with it."

Comment Latency? (Score 4, Interesting) 233

What is the expected latency of this new RAM? I've noticed that as the RAM technology has progressed, it has favored pure throughput to latency, but this is not always ideal. Is DDR4 going to help with this, or is this yet another advance that comes at the expense of added lag? Just curious on this. I didn't think RAM bandwidth was a problem, but latency could starve these current ultra-fast processors.

Comment Before everyone starts blaming security and TSA... (Score 1) 537

Of all the things for them to freak out about, a robotic looking thing attached to a cell phone on an airplane might be something genuine. I know if I saw it, without any context of where it came from, I would not feel very comfortable around it. I hate the TSA, and think that the security theater is ridiculous, but this one I think I'll let slide...

Comment Stop calling it 4G (Score 3, Interesting) 99

It isn't 4G, per the standard that was previously established for it. Quote:

In 2009, the ITU-R organization specified the IMT-Advanced (International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced) requirements for 4G standards, setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 Mbit/s for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 Gbit/s for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users).

So... who is getting between 100Mbit/sec and 1Gbit/sec? Anyone? Anyone?
