Comment Re:So from here on out ... (Score 4, Insightful) 2416

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?

Comment Re:choosing between 2 parties (Score 5, Interesting) 792

The two party system has to go. It only fosters a "you're with us or against us" mentality that doesn't get anything done. Get rid of political parties, make lobbying illegal, and one more thing. Make all politicians write summary documents about any bills they vote for. If they can't summarize it like any child does in reading class, they should NOT be able to vote on it. It also provides an audit trail into their dumb thoughts at the time.
