The only statement from the summary I kinda disagree with is the following. "Turns out AMD's Phenom II X4 980, which is over a year old, offers lower frame latencies than the most recent FX processors."
I only mention this because I replaced a Phenom II X4 980 with the FX 8150 last year which increased my average frame rates across the board. Oh well what do I know?
Not like I've experienced the exact opposite of their claims or anything like that.......
Well, if we are going into that world- I think I'll choose a STAR8UCK5.
Well I really don't think we have time for a hand job, Joe.
Concerns of the levels of radiation being safe or unsafe doesn't matter to me. What matters is the fact that numerous experts have proven the scanners to be completely ineffective at stopping threats and that is what people should care about.
Why expose yourself to the radiation in the first place? I refuse these machines every time I travel domestically and if they are required by some other country I'm not going to go there just wish everyone else did the same.
that's entirely missing the point though.
they're anarchists, internet tough guys, hackers on steroids. it's a swarm of locusts.
I could be wrong but did you mean to say "they're anarchists, internet tough guys, script kiddies on Code Red Mt. Dew. it's a swarm of locusts."?
I can't say there aren't a few individuals with some talent amongst Anonymous since they have done some fairly sophisticated stuff but all I ever see in my head when Anonymous is in the news is a few reasonably skilled hackers leading whole bunch of weird, 4chan dwelling script kiddies running LOIC as Pawns.
Or maybe it is just me.
Call me skeptical but I find it hard to believe that the Government is doing the right thing and if they are I really don't believe they'll resist AT&T's lobbyists.
On the other hand, if the phone manufacturers did not distribute the software at all, but rather required you to run a piece of software that downloads and installs the OS directly from Google, it would likely absolve them. I think that's what the GP was trying to get at. Or maybe not. Hard to say. My interpretation was that they were looking for a way to shift the patent suits to Google (where they belong) instead of to a mere distributor.
Actually, this is one thing that bothers me about patent law. I'm of the opinion that one tiny change would make it much, much better: require that any lawsuit over patent infringement must first occur with the first party in the supply chain that ostensibly infringed the patent. In this case, it would be Google. In the case of commercial codec licensing, it would be the manufacturer of the video gear that did not pay a commercial use licensing fee, but who should reasonably have known when they sold the product to you that it would be used commercially. In the case of a chip vendor suing a product vendor for using their patented technology, that product vendor could simply point up the chain and say, "You have to sue the chip vendor that provided us with those parts first." And so on.
Require a judgment for each vendor in the chain prior to filing suit against the next vendor, and make it grounds for dismissal of the case (with prejudice for repeat offenders) if this rule is not followed. Finally, make it such that if the previous case did not find in favor of the plaintiff, the plaintiff must prove that the primary reason for that loss was that the earlier vendor could not have been aware that the later vendor was going to use the product in an infringing way.
I'd be all for this solution where I get to buy the hardware and then I get to compile the Android source myself including any restricted extras I want instead of the vendor crapping it up, all I'd need is the hardware vendor to actually provide the drivers.
I don't see how it isn't a win-win for everyone and all you would nee for non tech people is the USB cable in the box, an active internet connection requirement to get the source from Google then finally a simple self compiler script with the only options of "next" then "finish".
Too bad this will never happen.
Especially if you spot a Chevy Caprice or a Ford Crown Vic.
Otherwise, 95MPH for me. Time is money.
These days it is impossible to keep up with what cops are driving. Some cities in Ohio have a mix of Impalas and Crown Vics, some have all Chargers, some have a mix of Explorers and Vics. Some have all chargers and then some are all impalas.
I find it is just best to find out your State's max tolerance for going over and set the cruise for one MPH below that.
In Ohio if the posted limit is 55 or higher cops can write you a ticket but it will not be worth any points and it will be at the lowest fine possible so most cops in Ohio only look for people going 10+. They know if they pull you over for less then 10 you are less likely to fight it, henceforth no overtime and they can only get the minimal amount of revenue generation for it so they just wait for someone who is going 10 or more over.
1995 called and wants their "ATI drivers are crap" comment back.
Obviously you have never tried running Linux on a system with a ATI graphics card.
(and incidentally, Idle formatting has been fucked up for how long now and still hasn't been fixed?)
It hasn't been fixed because no one goes to idle enough even to a lesser extent posts on idle enough to notice the formatting is broken.
The solution of this problem is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.
