(I still own a Ford Bronco. It's basically an 4WD F-250 with a shorter wheelbase. Good for towing a horse trailer. 12 MPG when not towing, so not good for much else.)
My 1992 F250 7.3 with a turbo kit gets 15+ MPG on the freeway with 35" mud tires... And it's you're Bronco's big daddy. Down to the Dana IFS.
---- Booth was a patriot ---- If you dont agree with me, dont bother replying as i dont care what you have to say ----
Booth was a murderer, a coward, and a traitor. "The South" was not populated by patriots--or at least, not American patriots--it was populated by traitors who wanted to keep human beings as property, and were willing to murder as many people as they had to in order to protect their unconscionably evil economic system operating.
For that matter, you're a coward for posting something so ridiculous and then preemptively telling us you "won't respond."
For some
My understanding is that the false positive rate is so high that it's essentially useless at determining if someone is lying. As others have alluded to, it is the subject's belief that the interrogator with his machine that can somehow determine lies from truth that counts. Since even innocent people accused of a crime and interrogated in this fashion will have high stress levels, the machine itself has absolutely no technical capacity to determine truth or lie. The secret to beating a polygraph boils down to knowing that it's all smoke and mirrors and pseudoscientific BS.
I don't know, buying politicians for whatever the market will bear seems to me to be very capitalistic.
Anyone know a passage in the bible that talks about obscuring your face positively? I think it's time for me to found a church.
Ha-ha. Who do you think pays the money to the corporations that they then hand it to the government?
Hint: it's not the space fairies.
Corporate taxes are just a way to tax more money from 'the people' while getting idiots like yourself to cheer it on. Every penny comes from increased prices, reduced wages, or reduced income for stockholders.
Look, that's a good argument when you're talking about a utility, or necessities. But an Apple computer is not a necessity, it is a Luxury. Same with the various iDevices. Even if you have a legitimate need for a device which does what they do, there's still a cheaper option that does the same stuff. Your argument simply does not apply. Putting the tax burden on corporations does indeed result in them raising their prices. Then the consumer can see up front the actual cost of their economic activity, and what's more, the person who incurs the cost actually pays it. In short, it by far makes the most sense to tax corporations on this basis! And only idiots cheer when corporations successfully evade taxes. I want Apple customers to have to pay the taxes from which Apple profits, and not every taxpayer in the EU, which is the current situation!
Corporations like Apple pay less in taxes because they can find loopholes.
We call them loopholes specifically because they present a way to do a run around the intent of the law. Simply by speaking English correctly you have doomed your own argument.
I'm on DSL, you insensitive clod!
"Flawed in principle" is putting it rather mildly. I'd put it as "complete and utter bullshit." Polygraphs are on a level with dousing and voodoo dolls.
You have a GPU solution to speed up Photoshop and Lightroom? How about PDF rendering?
I know an AC has already addressed these points, but I feel like addressing them again, and I have time.
Not only is at least Photoshop already GPU-accelerated, but PDF rendering is also 2d-accelerated. Things like drawing lines have been accelerated by video cards Since Windows 3.1 or thereabouts. That's when the first consumer-level PC 2d accelerators started to come out, from names like ATI and Radius. They had bigger, more special video drivers than did earlier video cards, because they performed 2d acceleration of things like drawing primitives and even text. By the end of the Windows 3.1 era, 2d-accelerated video cards were the norm rather than the exception, and $40 Trident ISA cards had acceleration, not just $200 Radius cards.
You may also not remember when Macs got Color Quickdraw, in the Macintosh II era. The Macintosh had always been sort of an odd fish in that it was a graphics-only OS designed for a system with no graphics acceleration whatsoever. It had a dumb framebuffer, and clever software routines for drawing primitives. This situation persisted until the Macintosh II series, when Apple brought out the 8*24 GC, not to be confused with the 8*24 which was non-accelerated. I believe the 8*24 was around $200 and the 8*24 GC was about $500. I only mention this because it was going on around the same time.
Video cards even used to be designed to accelerated Autocad for DOS, and had special drivers for this purpose.
AMD drivers are shitty, and before that ATI drivers were shitty, even before ATI made 3d cards. I've been watching ATI drivers cause Windows to crash since Windows 3.1.
It's broadly believed that ATI's hardware is as good as or better than nVidia, but their drivers hold them back.
I'm still glad ATI is around, just to keep nVidia scared
Don't hit the keys so hard, it hurts.
