Nope, received a 1099-INT from the federal govt for interest paid. The catch is this note on the 1099-INT, This amount may represent interest on an over payment for more than one year. See dandirk's post #18. The again is a reference to all the govt is bad rhetoric I have been hearing since the...

Your govt hate is misinformed, again. I had to file an extension last year and when I got my refund it was more than I what I filed. IRS paid me interest on my refund.

Why would any corporation care about securing your personal information? There are no consequences when the information is stolen other than providing more revenue to the credit monitoring corporations. The only ones that suffer from this stolen information are the people that have their...

If you are going to go down that road then start looking at people that are over weight, that don't exercise, don't sleep enough. At least marijuana is taxed heavily and exactly what medical problems are caused by marijuana? Plenty of medical issues caused from the behaviors I mentioned.

How about printing receipts that don't use chemicals that are dangerous to your health?

I do the same thing! I use old pinball machine balls for attention getters

Proving my point that the right and the left are two sides of the same corporate coin

One of the biggest steps in surveillance in the USA, The Patriot Act of 2001, implemented by the Republicans. When will people learn that the Left and Right are two sides of the same corporate controlled coin.

If you cannot afford to live someplace, then move. Cost of living is much less in other parts of the country.

Since most of the jobs that required only a high school education have been shipped overseas, these starting/training jobs are the majority of jobs that are left in this country. 50 years ago, you could pump gas and support a family. Someone earning the minimum wage in 1963 would have earned...

It's called a living wage so the taxpayers don't have to subsidize corporations by providing food, housing, medical care to their employees.

So, the Chinese are doing the same thing the NSA is doing?

Read the article In the case of the telecommunications company, Sepio's technology detected that the tampered Supermicro server actually appeared on the network as two devices in one. The legitimate server was communicating one way, and the implant another, but all the traffic appeared to be...

Won't buy a new CPU until Meltdown/Spectre and their variants are fixed in the die.

No, the NSA has their exploits embedded in the CPUs themselves.

Sigh, In the US, we used to have "due process". If you look at House Joint Resolution 76 that Trump signed into law 22Aug2017, it gives the newly formed commission “the authority to enter property near the Metro Rail System ‘without limitation’ and without a warrant, for the purpose of ‘making...

No matter how secure a house you build, law enforcement has access to military hardware if required to gain entry. You are not going to be able to stop a tank or high explosives. Problem law enforcement has with encryption is that they do not have any tools to decrypt the data and that...

I just took my 34in to the eWaste dump this morning. Getting ready to move and didn't want to move a 190lb TV.

game at 1080i on the CRT, but I haven't seen a panel PQ better than a HD Trinitron Wega. Getting really close on the higher end panels, but the consumer grade panel PQ is inferior.

Let me know when your PQ matches 25 year old CRTs.

Runs at room temp as well as near absolute zero. the single-atom transistor does not only work at extremely low temperatures near absolute zero, i.e.-273°C, but already at room temperature.

Banks use Intel CPUs. When your bank account is emptied or your credit card is maxed you will care about this crap.

POTUS can veto Congress spending bill. Small number of bankruptcies, larger number of failed business/ventures. Too bad if the US government becomes insolvent, we can't just walk away from the debts and start over. Trump likes to push the envelope and take risks, but failure can be disastrous...

And look pro Russia

Fines are just the cost of doing business. When someone goes to jail, then there will be a deterrent to fraud.

No false statements, Trump's companies have filed bankruptcies six times. I would say that makes him really good at bankrupting. When Congress and the President are from the same party, there is no overriding. Cutting taxes and increasing federal spending is a recipe for disaster. Annual Federal...

Hilary who? You need to worry about the current, as Rex Tillerson so eloquently said "fucking moron" running the country. He's really really good at bankrupting.

DSL Reports or SourceForge have much better speed tests. http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest https://sourceforge.net/speedtest/

Get off your high horse. 25 years ago cops were not shooting/killing people because they 'felt threatened'. I feel my life in danger whenever I see a police officer, but I don't have the right to shoot police officers.

Are the Meltdown and Spectre exploits included?

DisplayPort cables and ports may have either a "full-size" connector or a "mini" connector. These connectors differ only in physical shape—the capabilites of DisplayPort are the same regardless of which connector is used. Using a Mini DisplayPort connector does not affect performance or feature...

Just updated my GTX 980 successfully. When you run the tool it displays if you need the update and allows you to update or exit.

The following devices are known to be affected by this threat. Based on the scale of this research, much of our observations are remote and not on the device, so it is difficult to determine specific version numbers and models in many cases. It should be noted that all of these devices have...

Bingo! Individuals not held accountable, not the system of government.

I find this attitude disgusting and exactly what corporate Amerika wants. Our forefathers created a system of government that is unrivaled and if the current government is corrupt or incompetent then it is our duty as US citizens to elect new honest, competent representatives.

Defending the current administration's policies by citing another administration's policies is not an argument.

There is always plenty of money for the government's spying and wars. Too bad the same cannot be said about all the social programs.

The current administration will always support corporate use of natural resources before preserving natural resources for all citizens.

Including the Meltdown and Spectre flaws?

System76, has announced that it will be moving its assembly from China to the United States I am almost positive every single part in their computer is made in China.
