    I need this to get my tubes bent. :). . . seriously though, I've been using their rads, etc. Planning on moving from an eisbaer config to a more flexibale open loop system and this would be VERY cool to have.

    Video Games are Sucking You In and Not Letting Go

    In other news, streaming video providers are making it harder for people to stop watching their content by inticing people to spend more time binge-watching entire series.

    Google Chrome Release 68 to Start Labeling HTTP Websites as Not Secure

    Depending on configuration, you could also run into users of a site who don't accept your cert issuer as a trusted root certifier, aren't getting the right intermediate certs, etc. Hardly seems worth the effort if you aren't delivering content which actually requires it.

    Yeah, even at the tender young age of . . . however old I was when that came out, I just know it was a long ass time ago, I thought - hey, somebody came up with an even faster way to take all the change out of my pocket than playing Tron! (My favorite arcade game of all time when I was a kid).

    Seasonic PRIME Ultra 1000W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    I have one of these being delivered today. I ordered one and received it last week, but when I took it out of the box, I heard a loose piece rattling inside the PSU, shook it till it came to the grill, looked like a small screw or something so wasn't about to plug it in. Replacement will be...

    Your reply sounds surprisingly Dickensian in nature. Have you ever read Oliver Twist, or are you just unintentionally mimicking it?

    FCC Eyes Tax on Internet Service

    In the U.S. National Broadband Plan of 2009, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) defined broadband access as "Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_access

    FCC Eyes Tax on Internet Service

    Yet it never ceases to amaze me how many people have no comprehension whatsoever of these facts. They actually think that having 50 Democrats (and one Lieberman) in Congress somehow equates to "control."

    FCC Eyes Tax on Internet Service

    The FCC has no taxing authority. The most they could do is set a licensing or other fee which could be passed on to consumers. Only Congress has authority to tax.

    FCC Eyes Tax on Internet Service

    Will people ever get tired of repeating this lie? At NO point was there a filibuster proof majority. What this means for those lacking in knowledge of how Congress works is that in the Senate, 60 votes are required for cloture on any legislation. That means, again for those deprived in...

    Cyber Security Law Fails To Pass Senate

    Agreed for the most part, but once again, left to their own devices (as we've already witnessed with numerous data breaches of credit card info, etc.), companies will not make any real effort to secure their systems. Ideally, you would need the companies to meet with people actually...

    Cyber Security Law Fails To Pass Senate

    Unless of course you want to use a more narrow definition which an early Supreme Court justice stated, that being that the Congress is entitled to levy tax for the general welfare of the nation. Or, as Jefferson put it, to "provide for the welfare of the union." Which is to say, if you don't...

    And another thing . . . it would appear that you have a complete lack of understanding as to what communism is (or slavery for that matter). See, if communism was involved in any way, shape or form, we wouldn't be having this conversation because those companies would not be in private hands...

    Here's a little tip for you . . . Benjamin Franklin was not, in any way, referring to the liberty of companies to not secure your personal data. I know that might be a tad difficult for you to understand. Here's another little tip for you . . . he was referring to individual liberty, not...

    It's no more overkill than storing cash in a vault. I'm guessing you approve of that correct? Why should the electronic form of it be any different?

    If those Americans are storing the private data, personal, financial, and medical information of other citizens, I'm all for it. Since they aren't, it's kind of a moot point.

    Of course, there are those would say that the Stuxnet incident was acceptable because it was Iran. OF course, if any nation did the same to us, those same people would want to destroy the entire violating country. I'm not sure which is worse, that, or violating FISA with illegal wiretaps...

    Cyber Security Law Fails To Pass Senate

    Except that's not the way it works. It never has been. That's the reason they began passing regulations in the first place. If not for such regulation, you'd probably still have cocaine as an ingredient in coca cola. You'd also still have locks on doors preventing workers from leaving such...

    Cyber Security Law Fails To Pass Senate

    So it's your opinion that left entirely up to the discretion of individual companies, they would always act in the best interest of everyone? Or would they only act in the best interest of their bottom line? If you removed government regulation completely, you'd be truly surprised how many...

    Cyber Security Law Fails To Pass Senate

    What that means is that the bill itself was never actually voted on. The Republican filibuster prevented the ending of debate on the bill and thus prevented it from being presented for a vote on the bill itself. God forbid that a business should have to spend money to make sure that their...
