I had to stare at the picture for like 10 seconds until I saw the reference lol. Nice catch. Satoshi is indeed everywhere.

I know that Satoshi is a common name now, something that before BTC I didn't know.

I was watching some pokemon (I never watched it as a kid and I find it somewhat ridiculous. I stepped into this).

I know it's unrelated but I'd like to get it out there for a while.

I'll have to pay 130 dollars for a single textbook for a macroeconomics college course.

That's a bit outrageous. Young people are the poorest group in the United States. With all these problems how can publishers get away with asking so much money simply for putting other people's work together in a textbook.

The cost shouldn't be anywhere near that.
833  Other / Politics & Society / Re: FCC commissioner: Get ready for a government takeover of the Internet... on: February 07, 2015, 06:18:54 AM




... and lots and lots of new taxes:



First, President Obama’s plan marks a monumental shift toward government control of the Internet. It gives the FCC the power to micromanage virtually every aspect of how the Internet works. It’s an overreach that will let a Washington bureaucracy, and not the American people, decide the future of the online world. It’s no wonder that net neutrality proponents are already bragging that it will turn the FCC into the “Department of the Internet.” For that reason, if you like dealing with the IRS, you are going to love the President’s plan.

Second, President Obama’s plan to regulate the Internet will increase consumers’ monthly broadband bills. The plan explicitly opens the door to billions of dollars in new taxes on broadband. Indeed, states have already begun discussions on how they will spend the extra money. These new taxes will mean higher prices for consumers and more hidden fees that they have to pay.

Third, President Obama’s plan to regulate the Internet will mean slower broadband for American consumers. The plan contains a host of new regulations that will reduce investment in broadband networks. That means slower Internet speeds. It also means that many rural Americans will have to wait longer for access to quality broadband.

Fourth, President Obama’s plan to regulate the Internet will hurt competition and innovation and move us toward a broadband monopoly. The plan saddles small, independent businesses and entrepreneurs with heavy-handed regulations that will push them out of the market. As a result, Americans will have fewer broadband choices. This is no accident. Title II was designed to regulate a monopoly. If we impose that model on a vibrant broadband marketplace, a highly regulated
monopoly is what we’ll get. We shouldn’t bring Ma Bell back to life in this dynamic, digital age.

Fifth, President Obama’s plan to regulate the Internet is an unlawful power grab. Courts have twice thrown out the FCC’s attempts at Internet regulation. There’s no reason to think that the third time will be the charm. Even a cursory look at the plan reveals glaring legal flaws that are sure to mire the agency in the muck of litigation for a long, long time.

And sixth, the American people are being misled about what is in President Obama’s plan to regulate the Internet. The rollout earlier in the week was obviously intended to downplay the plan’s massive intrusion into the Internet economy. Beginning next week, I look forward to sharing with the public key aspects of what this plan will actually do.

The US is far behind the times in regards to the Internet.

This is a political victory for a free and open Internet.

I'm not sure whether this is bait or not.

Scam.

That is all.

so you did the experiments?

If you watched the video in the link above from the EEVblog (#708) you would know that I don't have to.

If you knew a few more things you wouldn't have to.

Scam or self delusion. If any such systems worked everyone would have them. They would have blown up like legal cocaine drizzled chocolate.

The US really seems to have fixed everything. Total democracy in all middle-eastern countries. The actions taken in the recent past by the US were totally not about appeasing allies and enriching the pockets of corporations, this can be seen by the leaps and bounds by which the middle east has progressed. It could be compared to japan post WW2.

Edit: Capitalization.

What seems to be the norm these days, like what happened with Watch Dogs, Batman:AK, Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, etc., I'm guessing they've been busy downgrading the graphics and such so that the PC version doesn't blow away the consoles.

That would be most egregious, I think they did that to some playstation 3 ports until lots of people complained and they fixed the issues.


If the game is 64 bit then it should be able to use loads of RAM, I Hope they make good use of that.

Also there are loads more VRAM in PC builds rather than consoles.
