Apparently it's OK to be sexist as long as it's in the "correct" direction.

Fun factoid: If the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) had been passed in the 1980s, then this little government side-show would be black & white unconstitutional... I'm pretty sure the supporters of the ERA wouldn't have liked the outcome...

So if you don't think it wasn't a problem.... then it WAS a problem.

Oh, and battery life (or lack thereof) in Google Glass is another big issue.

The Helix 2 is a more reasonably priced convertible 2-in-1 from Lenovo. The screen resolution isn't quite as high, but it's still a very reasonable 1920x1080 on an 11.6" display. I've run the thing on batttery for 8 solid hours doing standard office type work with wifi enabled and it performs very well.. and unlike the Yoga 3 it is truly a fanless design.

You might want to hold off until the "pro" keyboards that include the addtional battery become more widely available. Those should boost the battery life up to around 12 hours or so.

Uh.. I thought companies making profits was evil. Shouldn't we be applauding Intel for not making any money? Would you insult the Raspberry Pi project for giving away free devices?

I'd much rather live in a world with a made-up "Intel monopoly" that doesn't exist where Intel is literally the largest contributor to the Linux kernel that isn't a Linux-specific company (look it up, Intel is usually #3 right after the Linux foundation & Red Hat) vs. the very real ARM monopoly of intellectual property minefields, backdoored binary firmward blobs, opaque drivers, and poor support.

Venn Diagram:
1. People who claim that x86 can't run Android.

2. People (like me) who actually own Baytrail Android Tablets and have seen what they can do first hand (hint: for $150 I got a tablet that's flat-out better than an iPad Mini. I also get the warm & fuzzy feeling of supporting the only Android hardware vendor in the world that supports Linux with both money, developers, and gobs of GPL compliant driver code).

3. Overlap between the two circles: Empty Set.

It's one thing to prevent game review sites from playing one-upsmanship over each other by "leaking" early reviews (that are often incomplete and based on beta versions of the game). However, once you can buy the "finished" product, the only reason to have a continuing embargo is that you know the product sucks but you don't want to share that information.

Another strategy: Have game review sites flat out say that an embargo for a certain game is NOT lifting prior to the game going on sale. I know lots of NDAs have Fight Club clauses (you do NOT talk about the NDA).. but a clever game review site could probably get around that without actually saying "The Assassin's Creed Embargo Does Not Lift Until 11PM" or something similar.

I'm sure her wife appreciates that ringing endorsement of anti-manness.

Nice try Bennett. Nobody in their right mind would call anything you say "educated" or "meaningful". Instead we use words like, "malignantly narcissistic," and "full retard."

First we'll post a video of ISIS beheading an innocent hostage.

Then we'll post a video of ISIS beheading Bennett Hasselton.

Afterwards, we'll look at the massive differences in the level of outrage, which is to say we'll have a kegger to celebrate Bennett's demise.

Google Sez: Population of China 1.357 billion.

So obviously they have a mass cloning program followed by an unimaginably horrific slaughter for every Chinese new year. w00t.

I already have to pay in-state sales taxes on purchased from Newegg & Amazon, so the big ones are covered. Oh, and if you are just purchasing from the online arm of a brick & mortar store, they've been taking sales tax for a long long time anyway.

Double down on non-scientific extremist rhetoric to maintain power. The IPCC isn't even being original.

Hell, even the IPCC doesn't *really* believe in Global Warming as a scientific phenomenon, but only as a political tool to go after those "evil" western democracies that "unfairly" use resources.

After all, if the IPCC thought of global warming scientifically, they wouldn't have self-censored their own report to intentionally omit data about greenhouse gas emissions from Asia... http://news.nationalgeographic...

In sort of a mirror image of this story, some U.S. scientist was led on the usual dog & pony tour of Soviet space facilities (a publicly available one at any rate). Of course the tour included a display of huge rockets, advanced sattelites, etc. etc. to trump up the superiority of Soviet science.

Interestingly enough, after the tour the scientist came away convinced that the Soviet Union was hopelessly behind. It had nothing to do with the rockets though. Instead, he noted that when they ate lunch at the cafeteria, the cafeteria workers had to total up their lunches using an abacus. Big propaganda show-pieces are impressive, but it's the little things that show you what's really going on.

"Heh... Have you used *ANY* Linux audio on most Linux distributions? If so, you've used it."

No... really.. I haven't used it.
I have a real soundcard (Xonar) in my main machine that just passes a signal through TOSlink to my receiver. While libpulse is installed as a required dependency, I literally do not have the pulse audio server package installed.

All of my Linux boxes are *highly* customized, no kitchen-sink Ubuntu stuff going on here. I fully admit that I'm not setup to do professional audio editing or anything like that, but sound most certainly works and it doesn't require pulseaudio.

Not that I ever actually read more than half a paragraph of his drivel, but doesn't he always start or end each of his posts with: "I am an infallible omnipotent GOD and nobody could ever possibly disagree with! Please kneel and post your worship of me below."
