Ok, yeah, I was born in the 80s and didn't see the movie in the theaters, but I saw the movie originally at a young enough age to have a lot of that same sense of nostalgia. Make of that what you will. It's just full disclosure.

The plot did suck, but not because it had a script that felt like "it was written by people who had never used a computer". Clearly anyone who is familiar with the Tron universe knows that Legacy fit in fine. It sucked because it was cliche, it sucked because it was predictable, it sucked because Kevin Flynn was played by The Dude (though, too their credit, they tried to turn him in to a monk, it's too bad they didn't pull it off). On a personal note, it sucked because neither Imax nor 3D added anything to the film, but I got suckered in to the insane ticket prices anyway.

Even so, it was a fun ride, and I can't wait to own it. I just certainly won't be paying attention to it for the plot, though. I'll probably just be using it to show off my HDTV.

Flat taxes are inherently regressive. Go national sales tax or VAT, that way people are taxed on sonsumption, not earning, and frugality can be rewarded.

Corn Subsidies.

They are ridiculously wasteful and artificially prop up the price of ethanol when we should be producing them with grasses and weeds instead of corn stalks.

Or how about the TSA?

If progressives use this weapon aganst them, they can be forced to put their money where their mouth is.

Whomever coined the word "Hactivism" has a DDoS with their name on it, as far as I'm concerned. Hate, hate, hate, that word. It's neither hacking nor activism.

Almost always when searching for breaking news, the top results are complete spam and malware.

Firstly, I had my tongue planted firmly in cheek in the initial posting. Second, just because something has a REASON for being phallic doesn't mean it is NOT phallic. Yes, a submarine, a rocket, an airplane, and a large blood engorged sausage all have reasons for their shapes, but all their shapes are roughly that of a penis.

Alright... I'll give you that.

Isn't a 747 about as falic a shape as you can get?

This was my first thought as well. 0 reason for anything else.

So click decline on the EULA screen. Part of the EULA says that if you decline the manufacturer is responsible for giving you a refund.

Ok. If this is some sort of standard that I missed out on, I'll accept that. I do think it's stupid though. We already have a phrase for that definition: "an 8th the size".

That's what makes this OK.

A 1x CD-ROM is defined as a certain transfer rate. 2x is twice that base rate. 8x is 8 times that base rate.

"Pixel" is not a defined unit of measure. Pixels can be large, as in your old 40" standard def CRT television, or small, as in the iPhone "retina display". I can think of several ways "8 times smaller" could be defined. The one that seems to make the most sense, to me, is the one that has nothing to do with multiplication.

How does one read the phrase "8 times smaller "? Initially I want to take it as 1/8th the size, but "8 times" would indicate multiplication is involed...

It will be drop in compatable with AMD server boards. At home, it will be AM3+.
