I think they should automatically kick it off on your 3D printer when you load the page.

Two copies, just to make sure you don't miss it.

No, I don't consider it worthy of note unless a lot of people give a shit.

I have a Titan running SOKP.

... CPUs are small enough that they don't need to be flexable, the CPU is not that big hunk of a thing you pull out of the socket, thats the package, and it has to be big and string to hold all those pins or balls in the right place under the pressure of the lock on the socket. The CPU is a little chip inside of there with wires connected to it so small that you can't see them without good vision or assistance.

Also, silica doesn't require or create toxic chemicals by working with it, had you bothered to read my statement, you'd see that its the doping agents that make the silica actually do something other than not conduct electricity that come with all the toxic effects.

...

No, its working EXACTLY like he said.

No rational actor will start a nuclear war.

Its not dumb luck, its the threat of nuclear annihilation that prevents it.

Its mind numbing that someone like you can say 'hey look at these three examples of where we didn't go to war ... it means war in inevitable!@$!%!@%' completely and utterly ignoring the fact that there have been fewer wars and they've been smaller since this happened.

If you think its blind luck, you're the blind.

So they replace the substrate with wood ... instead of silica ... the argument being that wood is plentiful and biodegradable and biologically safe ...

Except ... Silica is more plentiful and more biologically safe since its essentially biologically inert.

As an advantage, silica is NOT biodegradable, because I want my chips to last, not fall apart over the winter when it sheds its leaves.

Silica is NOT the issue for the environment in CPUs, its the production materials and doping agents that are horrible on living things and hard to dispose of.

So congrats ... you solved a problem ... wait, no, you didn't really do anything productive. Not seeing any redeeming quality about a chip produced this way and seeing plenty of down sides.

Whats next, you're going to try and convince me that the aircraft carrier made of sawdust and ice they tried to construct during WWII really was a brilliant plant for a warship sailing in the south pacific?

So, you call it an ivory tower when it's intellectual, what do you call it when it's just a tower made of stacked-up money? The reason why "global business leaders" don't know about technology is that they are completely divorced from the daily life that normal humans live. They don't have to know shit, so they don't know shit. Then they want to tell us all about how to be successful. We're always having to endure quotes from Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, who both were born with silver spoons in their mouths, about how we can supposedly be successful — but they actually have no idea how to become successful, because they were born into positions of privilege. We should not give one tenth of one very small shit about what they think about becoming successful, because they never did.

What you don't seem to realize is that this is the equivalent of that for connecting your smartphone to your car. If only you knew anything about the subject at hand, like about cars or automotive infotainment, you would know that these are technologies for interfacing to your phone while in your car — and that these are both major standards. That means that virtually all smartphone owners will be able to use the interface in the car, designed for automotive use, instead of the interface on their phone which isn't.

Hahahaha

What we did in Iraq was separate peacefully coexisting communities of the people you're talking about. We deliberately set social progress back a hundred years there. What you think we need to do is literally the opposite of our government's intent.

Obama has been consistent, at least since taking office. Before taking office, he spoke out against mass data collection. But ever since taking office, he has consistently stated that we require this data collection to be safe. We have met the enemy, and he is us. And that very much includes Obama.

Obama has been consistent in calling for more surveillance of Americans. Sometimes he says there's more need to be sure that we're doing it properly, but he doesn't ever say we need to do less of it.

How about it? Literally the only thing of note I can think of which requires it is Skype.

Hell, I just updated my Titan to a new SOKP based on 5.1, and I had to manually set my proxy settings... which are per-connection, so I will have to set them all over again if I roam.

And we're doing it in a way that brings us right back to the era of mainframes. Although far more advanced, the model is highly similar to that of the IBM mainframe systems whose semi-smart terminals understood form fields and submission.

By spending half or more of their income on their mortgage, and by having a co-signer and a down payment. It's not rocket surgery, it's just dealing with the evil, evil banks. The banks are sitting on something like three houses for every homeless man, woman, and child in America, refusing to drop their prices to market level.

Share your wealth or they will share their poverty.

The more money people have, the less they tend to do for the poor. If it worked the other way around, you wouldn't be whinging now.

It's a shame the middle class won't band together and come after the rich, but those poor idiot fucks won't realize that they have a better chance to win the lottery than to actually work their way into the upper echelons of society. They still think they're going to be the ones looking down their noses at someone else someday.
