Women have the RIGHT to choose to eat GMOs if they want and I stand against this right-wing Republican War on Women since they insist on telling women what to do with their bodies!

Their backdoors are implemented at much higher quality level.

He's obviously a denialist and he got off easy.

The wood that he unscrupulously and capitalistically exploited for his burgeious profit contraption could have reduced ALGORE'S carbon footprint if he hadn't murdered it for his own selfish amusement. I'm just disturbed that this 1%er scum wasn't thrown into our enviromental reeducation camps for his crimes against science.

"Women have a right to have control over their own bodies."

Really? Forcing other people (including other women) to pay for birth control for other women doesn't sound like you want women to control "their own bodies" to me.

You do realize that those "right wing neanderthals" you love to charicature are just saying that if women want birth control they should just go out and... you know.. buy it at a store. Just like everything else in life.

True story: Birth control prices for the lady in my life went UP by a pretty massive amount since your God and personal Savior Obama took office. So basically, when that neanderthal Bush was president, it was easier for women to be "enslaved" by going out and spending their own money to buy birth control on their own since women are actually capable of indepdent thought.

1970's feminists: Women are free and independent and can buy their own birth control!

2010's feminists: Women are stupid and weak and need to have their birth control provided for them by the Government using other people's money because expecting women to think for themselves and be independent is sexist!

When you use an Insecure X11 Stack...
You are displaying windows WITH THE NSA!

Yet another reason why they need to whip Wayland into shape.

Must have been the NSA! I should have known that commit from uberspydude@ftmeade-totallynotNSA.gov was suspicious.

Slightly more seriously than my last post, the S3500 was the only enterprise-grade SSD tested in that batch. Frankly, I have little sympathy for you if you expected consumer-grade SSDs to perform like Enterprise-grade SSDs in a mission-critical application.

Consumer grade drives, even/especially the "high performance" ones that will often benchmark better than the "overpriced" enterprise drives, ain't designed to have perfect data retention. Of course, consumer or enterprise, any drive can fail and appropriate measures including RAID and backup* should always be in place no matter what type of drive you have.

* Yes, RAID != backup, I know, don't bother making that post.

"after experiencing a costly 50% failure rate on over 200 remote-deployed OCZ Vertex SSDs"

Stop gloating about how you got the good batch of OCZ SSDs! Some of us weren't so lucky....

That's mostly proving that OpenGL is fast. Which it is. You know one of the major reasons *why* OpenGL is fast? Because it practically bypasses your X server in order to get anything done.

Anyone who would insinuate that there is any ice left anywhere on Earth after Global Warming must be an anti-science denialist and must be purged in the name of tolerance.

" You have no idea what "network transparency" really means."

No... you don't.

Me*: Network transparency means that applications can render graphics to a local terminal or over a network with zero changes in code path and zero need to know anything about the underlying rendering model. Therefore, any remotely modern version of X.org is by definition not network transparent since every since modern local rendering technique such as DRI and compositing is completely incompatible with the fallback socket-based path that is used for networking remote X programs. Consequently, modern X is not network transparent and people who can't understand that just because it is still possible to send X pixmaps over a network socket in a kludgy manner does not mean X is "transparent" should maybe do some research on how X actually works instead of hurling insults.

  Modern X-remoting is effectively pushing pixmaps over a socket in an inefficient manner. It is fundamentally different than the modern composited rendering path that effectively bypasses 99.9% of the original X server and is where Wayland is going. Additionally, if X were so beautifully perfect at network transparency then using it over a WAN connection wouldn't be one of the leading causes of suicide in network administrators and proxies like NX would never have come into existence.

Where "Me" includes the X.org developers including Keith Packard BTW.

You: "I MADE PRETTY PICTURES GO OVAR INTARNETS!! DARR!! NETWORK TRANSPARENT! SINCE SOME TYPES OF RDP ONLY TRANSFER DESKTOPS NOT INVIDUAL WINDOWS RDP NOT NETWORK TRANSPARENT!! DAR!!! X DEVELOPERS ARE STOOPID AND DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT X!!! DAR!!"

You sed: RDP is not the same as network transparency. It is the opposite of the network transparency.

In that case, any even remotely modern version of X isn't network transparent either since X is basically operating as a poorly implemented version of RDP using any GUI toolkit like GTK or Qt. P.S. --> The lead developers of X.org agree with me that the modern version of X that real people use in the real world is not network transparent, so unless you are even a more experienced X developer, I'm going to agree with them and not you.

You sed: With X you can run side by side on the same physical screen applications from the different servers.

2008 called and it wants its complaint about RDP back (this functionality was introduced a LONG time ago). RDP can be implemented using Wayland too you know, it's not a strictly a Windows thing.

You mean +5 funny satire? The sad truth is that there are plenty of "enlightened" people who post all the "correct" beliefs spoonfed to them over at HuffPo who basically believe that post at face value.

Get with the program: Everything bad that has ever occurred in the 20th century is due to Reagan and Reagan alone. Don't let the corporatist media fool you into thinking that anyone other than Reagan was running the show in the 20th century. DON'T BE A SHEEPLE.

Oh, BTW, Reagan was also so stupid that he couldn't tie his own shoes.

Here's a joke:

Q: What's the difference between a Bible-Thumper who predicts the Rapture and an Environmentalist who predicts a religious Eco-Apocalypse?

A: There are actually two differences: The Bible-Thumper actually has the decency to predict a firm date, and then admits that he was wrong when the rapture didn't occur.
