While I won't argue against the intent of the law, the way it's written is complete BS. NOTING GOOD WILL COME OF IT.

Except that "SciFi" isn't a curriculum, it's a genre. Forcing teachers/schools/districts/states to teach a particular genre (instead of IDEAS) will just make things worse.

Wow. You really can't help yourself, can you?

Given that your claims in this thread have been so thoroughly debunked, I can see why you're upset. But there's no reason to use profanity. : )

If you re-read my two word post, you'll find that I'm not actually complaining - I was simply expressing relief. You see, I'm the type of person who hates to see someone completely and utterly embarrass themselves in such a loud and public manner. I mean really, a "NOTICE TO READERS:" post? Classic.

By all means, keep posting. In a way, you're becoming less sad and more entertaining. But not in a good way.

Cheers!

Thank God!

Claiming Adbusters speaks for Occupy movements worldwide is like claiming Rush Limbaugh speaks for all conservatives in the US.

While Adbusters (in concert with Workhouse) may have provided a spark to ignite OWS, I see no evidence that OWS, other US Occupy movements, or other Occupy movements worldwide have completely adopted Adbusters' agenda. I see no evidence that Occupy movements look to Adbusters as their primary media outlet/spokesperson. Quite the opposite, if you look at occupywallst.org, there is precious little mention of Adbusters outside of the site's forums - where Adbusters is frequently ridiculed.

Here's what OWS actually says about their origins:

There seems to be no mention of Adbusters.

"Occupy folks" aren't some kinda monolithic group subscribing to a rigid ideological agenda with a single publication acting as their Pravda. You really should open your mind to the idea that many (if not most) of the movements have matured beyond the radical positions Adbusters promotes. You also might want to consider the possibility that the US government's treatment of large financial institutions following the crisis is an affront to capitalist ideals, and is something that *should* be protested.

Both your post and citations miss the point entirely. The IRS doesn't tax deposits in offshore banks - or deposits in any other banks for that matter. It doesn't tax transactions from one bank to another. The IRS taxes income reported on a form. Just because the IRS gets notified of a $5000 transfer from Nevis Corp XYZ to Jersey Corp 789 really doesn't mean squat when it comes to determining a tax liability.

These accounts are only small pieces of larger, unbelievably complex financial structures designed to shelter [hide] income/capital gains from tax authorities - and only wealthy corporations and individuals can afford the armies of accountants and tax attorneys required to create and administer them.

Your claim that this is a non-story seems to imply that all is well. All is not well.

ORLY? Where is this "true stated aim" of the Occupy movement published? I can't seem to find a single message *from them* that unifies the US flavors of the movement - much less an agreed upon message for the rest of the world. Perhaps you may have simply taken the word of your preferred "news" outlet as to the goals of the movement?

Oh wait...you think that the Occupy movement is just a US thingy, don't you? Isn't that just adorable! Pro tip 1: the Occupy folks in Armenia/Australia/Belgium/Canada/Colombia/Czech Republic/Cyprus/Denmark/France/Germany/Hong Kong/Italy/Malaysia/Mexico/Mongolia/Netherlands/New Zealand/Nigeria/Norway/Republic of Ireland/South Africa/South Korea/Spain/Switzerland don't give a rats ass about pitting Americans against Americans in some kind of imagined class warfare. Pro tip 2: what's been going on in the US bears little (if any) resemblance to capitalism.

I don't mine bitcoins. If I did, I certainly wouldn't use nVidia GPUs. nVidia's architecture just isn't well suited for that type of workload. I participate in GPUGRID (CUDA) and World Community Grid (CPU/OpenCL). Please consider volunteering some of your excess CPU/GPU capacity to these worthy BOINC based projects.

As far as motherboards go, I'm currently running 6...all of which have been crunching DC projects 24/7 for about the last 2 years. Doesn't that indicate my motherboards aren't shitty? Or am I still being retarded?

Uh, no...no I don't want to talk about heat/power problems. But you seem to, and I'd love to read your musings on the topic. I would only read, because I would never presume to engage in a debate with someone of your intellectual capacity. In any case, thanks for taking the time to grace me with your wisdom and experience. I truly feel smarter after reading your post. You must be part of Slashdot's special retard enlightenment task force.

Which is exactly the point I was trying to make. Your experience or my experience or the sum of /. experience doesn't mean squat. In the end, it's all anecdotal.

If you can point me to data showing AMD-equipped systems have higher rates of becoming compromised than non-AMD systems, please do so.

While I would agree that AMD system are more vulnerable to attack because of ASLR incompatibility, I'm certainly not convinced AMD systems are more "unsafe" than others.

I understand/agree with your point, but when I see a headline like the one made in the OP, I think someone's trying to convince someone else that the sky is falling.

I guess what I was trying to get at was: is there data that supports the claim made in the headline? In particular, has it been shown that AMD equipped systems have higher rates of becoming compromised than non-AMD systems? If such a premise was demonstrably proven, I think AMD might move ASLR compatibility up their priority list.

And frankly, I'm sick of people claiming one manufacturer's drivers suck and the other's don't based on their own personal experience. Amazing that so many don't realize how stupid they sound.

After owning half a dozen ATI cards over the years (currently using an AMD 7970 in my main rig), I had no idea how crappy AMD drivers were. Just because I've had more trouble with nVidia drivers on the 3 GTX275s and 2 GTX570s I currently use for GPU computing doesn't mean a thing, because that's just anecdotal evidence...right?

Luckily I came across this thread with all the hard data on AMD vs nVidia driver quality before it was too late. Thanks Slashdot!

ps - would it be possible for one of you fine Slashxperts to link to documentation on how many times this blatant deficiency in AMD driver quality has been exploited? (shouldn't be too difficult, since it's been 5+ years since ASLR was implemented in MS operating systems)

So, Rosa Parks was a criminal - right? You fucking fucking moron.

And the reason a 7th grader gets a provisional patent for his work is NOT because his idea leads to more efficiency - IT"S FOR FRIGGIN ENCOURAGEMENT.

What's the matter, mommie didn't love you? You weren't breast-fed?
