Comment What problem is this trying to solve? (Score 1) 493

by WaveMotion (#47139023) Attached to: Mutant Registration vs. Vaccine Registration
The issue (in the United States anyway) isn't that people aren't secretly not vaccinating their kids and sneaking them into schools. It's that they aren't vaccinating their kids, period. They're being quite open about it! I think 99% of them aren't terribly smart, but why create a national registry that will cost money and just freak people out?

"iTunes Enterprise Edition"!!!! Let me install whatever component and sub-component I choose on a corporate network-- i.e. no Outlook integration, no Safari, just enough to let people synch up their Apple devices without grinding their business PC to a hault. Offer management through GPO templates. Please stop the pain for America's IT departments!

The Push For Colbert's "Restoring Truthiness" Rally 703

Posted by samzenpus from the giving-truth-the-bump dept.
jamie writes "A grassroots campaign has begun to get Stephen Colbert to hold a rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to counter Glenn Beck's recent 'Restoring Honor' event. The would-be rally has been dubbed 'Restoring Truthiness' and was inspired by a recent post on Reddit, where a young woman wondered if the only way to point out the absurdity of the Tea Party's rally would be if Colbert mirrored it with his own Colbert Nation.'"

The program, codenamed Omega, features a 'Defensive Information Sharing Program' that will offer government entities at the national level technical information on vulnerabilities that are being updated in their products."

AMD Multi-Display Tech Has Problems, Potential 138

Posted by Soulskill from the emptying-my-bank-account-is-a-problem dept.
EconolineCrush writes "While AMD's Eyefinity multi-display gaming tech is undeniably impressive at first glance, digging deeper reveals key limitations. Some games work well, others not at all, and many are simply better suited to specific screen configurations. A three-way setup looks to be ideal from a compatibility perspective, and given current LCD prices, it's really not all that expensive. But would you take that over a single high-resolution display or a giant HDTV?"
