Assange™ names a Senatorial stand-in

BornToWin

Assange's day will come

Sooner or later he'll decide to leave and eventually he will be caught and prosecuted for his crimes, regardless of ill-informed public opinion by the clueless.

Curses! Reddit plan for fat old beardy to 'smell hot pop girl Taylor Swift's hair' FOILED

There are a lot of dirtbags out there

It's amazing what these scumbags will do to get attention.

For pity's sake: DON'T MOVE to the COUNTRY if you want to live

BornToWin

I'll bet the statistics don't account for rural aspects of living

I'll bet the statistics don't account for occupations and activities of rural residents, which would again make city living far more dangerous. Daily auto accidents alone in city environments raise the risk of death or serious injury.

As far as the U.S. is concerned I doubt life is any wose there than in Blighty or other parts of Europe.

Another one bites the dust

Scammers are out to fleece the ignorant. This scammer will be residing in prison for the next five years.

Hope this stupidity is defeated

It's amazing how naive people are when it comes to the operations of the world and their security.

Texas school strikes devil's bargain, drops RFID student tracking

Just expel the dumbarse kids

It's a PITA dealing with dumbarse kids who don't want to abide by the rules of society. Just expel their arses and let them use home schooling or remain dumbarses.

Intel lifts veil on future 14nm Xeon, Atom server chips

BornToWin

Actually NO

Die shrinks below 32nm have resulted in almost zero compute performance gains as Ivy bridge and Haswell confirm. The primary benefit to smaller die shrink is lower power consumption - but even with lower power consuption the transistor density creates serious cooling issues which require slower CPU frequencies or expensive cooling systems. The days of significant gains from die shrinks are long gone. AMD's 28nm Jaguar core CPUs are as good or better than Intel's 22nm chips as far as CPU performance per watt and overall power consumption is concerned.

How do you drive a supercomputer round a Formula 1 track?

BornToWin

Lotus F1

Lotus F1 is just branding no matter how many Lotus you see in the parking lot. In fact there was litigation over this a few years ago. Lotus F1 is only Lotus in name.

That being said they do pretty well for a mid-budget team. Their chassis seems to be a fundamentally good design that is adaptable to most tracks. CFD is a catch 22 in that the results are only as good as the data input and the software. While Boeing is certainly an expert on airflow, the airflow on a vehicle traveling on the ground vs. in the air is considerably different.

US Marine Corps misses target, finds and bombs Nemo

They did exactly what they should have done

They followed orders and did exactly what they were suppose to do and no one was harmed or even endangered.

US secret court renews government telephone snooping

BornToWin

Let's be honest

The majority of people in the world are clueless. They have no idea that their very security has depended on national and world surveillance since the world wars. If these clueless masses had any idea of what the security people do to protect them from harm every day, they might understand the necessity to monitor all forms of communication. Alas, most people are simply too dumb to appreciate the efforts of their own governments and allies. It won't matter how much you try to educate them because they have no understanding of how the world really operates because others have protected them for decades.

Lenovo ThinkPad Helix Ultrabook: Your new summer convertible?

BornToWin

Way over-priced

If it was in the range of $800 and had an AMD A10-5750, then I might consider it.

AMD is 'transforming', will be profitable this quarter, says CEO Read

BornToWin

AMD is moving forward

AMD has definitely found new markets and products that are helping them rebuild in a very bad economic environment worldwide. That's impressive. A $29 millon quarterly loss on a billion dollars in sales is insignificant in the grand scheme of business. Some of the previous quarters AMD made good money but showed negative numbers because they purchased SeaMicro, bought out of exclusive CPU production with GloFo, etc.

Someone who doesn't understand the accounting - and there are many who fall into this category, falsely conclude that AMD has only experienced red ink in recent times, which is untrue. In addition SeaMicro will be bringing in nice revenue and developing new micro servers by Q4 of '13. It's good that AMD has made the painful transition but they seem well positioned going forward despite the naysayers.

US town mulls bounty on spy drones, English-speaking gunman only

BornToWin

I hope some fool shoots one down...

...and goes to prison for 5 years. We'll see how they like that punishment. The FAA has already warned these clowns what is in store if they shoot at a drone or a normal aircraft.

Sexbomb pop minstrel Taylor Swift PORN FIB used to lure fanbois

Very strange

They must use 10,000 volt grid power in China?

UK investigators finger emergency beacon for 787 Heathrow fire

BornToWin

So once again the kneejerk reaction is wrong

I'd have no reservations flying on any current commercial aircraft. The 787 battery deal was a fluke and has now been over-engineered to compensate for what may have actually been a slight battery manufacturing issue. That of course won't stop the clueless media from hyping every incident from a bug hitting the windshield to an uncleaned seat pocket...

Ex-prez Carter: 'America has no functioning democracy' with PRISM

BornToWin

no surprise here

Carter was booted from office because he is a highly educated individual who is an idealist and out of touch with reality. He lives in a 1950's world, not the modern world.

Apple patents touch display that KNOWS YOU by your fingers

BornToWin

I doubt it

Since numerous entities have developed the same basic tech concurrently over the past few years I doubt Apple's current patent will be sustained on appeal.

Intel's server chip biz holds steady ahead of Ivy Bridge Xeons

BornToWin

IB and Haswell a big disappointment

By almost any metric IB and Haswell are a big disappointment and offer little reason for anyone to upgrade.

AMD fools Wall Street, posts smaller loss than expected

BornToWin

AMD is doing better

no matter if you use GAAP or non-GAAP, AMD is doing better in a very dismal economic environment worldwide. The one penny diff between GAAP and non-GAAP is meanless. What is important is that AMD's console contracts account for approx. 5 Million custom APUs over the next few years. It also sends a clear message that AMD's APUs are superior and the future as they are literally changing the PC landscape for the better and forever. Discrete CPU/GPU components will be a very limited market segment going forward in all market segments as APUs are superior in price, performance and energy consumption.

Hackers crippled HALF of world's financial exchanges - report

BornToWin

It will all work out

Eventually the perps will be caught and prosecuted. What goes around generally comes around. Prison will be a good education for the perps.

Boeing batteries back under spotlight as 787 burns at Heathrow

BornToWin

Typical knee jerk reaction

The batteries are not suspect. It's in the galley area and could be something as simple as a coffee pot left on or overheated.

I hope the CIA makes Snowden's dreams come true.

Top chip baker: Rough times, high costs, tech hurdles ahead

BornToWin

There is almost no advantage to a die shrink anymore

The only gains in a die shrink below 32nm is lower power consumption and package size. The increased transistor density however presents cooling challenges so all is not rosy. As far as computing performance, there is almost none to be gained as Intel has demonstrated with IB and Haswell.

Snowden's Australian 'revelations' are old news

BornToWin

Just like A$$ange

Snowden is a media seeker.

US public hate Snowden - but sexpot spy Anna Chapman LOVES him

Snowden is such a jerk. he and Assange are cut from the same dirty cloth.

Going lo-tech to avoid NSA snooping? Unlucky - they read snailmail too

BornToWin

People are really stupid

Is any of this information about goverments in countries all around the world including Europe and the U.S. monitoring electronic communications and in some instances snail mail when there is legitimate reason to do so, some revelation for the populace? If so you've been living under a rock for the past 30+ years.

Freed LulzSec hacker banned from contacting Anons, wiping data

BornToWin

This decision is just absurd

Wearing a monitor is hardly the equivalent of jail time. Two years in jail was a gift but instead this criminal spends only 37 days in jail. Then Europe wonders why digital crime has skyrocketed. DUH!

IBM axes nearly THREE THOUSAND staffers in North America - union

BornToWin

This ain't good

More lost jobs in an economic depression is not good. It doesn't matter who the company is these lost jobs have serious negative impacts on many people and they take money out of the system so there is a very real trickle down impact to other businesses and people.

US DoJ: Happy b-day, Ed Snowden! You're (not?) charged with capital crimes

He's in for a big surprise

Snowden is in for a big surprise and he ain't gonna be happy about it.

Nissan to enter 300 kmh electric car in Le Mans endurance race

BornToWin

Only as a hybrid not as an EV

These cars can only race any distance as a hybrid not as a true EV. Audi has been doing well with their hybrid so Nissan figures they might as well cash in on the PR. The sales figure totals for all EVs combined is so insignificant as to be a joke. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand you need a really long power cable to drive these cars more than in the city.

Tesla unveils battery-swapping tech for fast car charging

BornToWin

Elon is definitely "juiced up"

This PR nonsense is for the gullible. How many people are going to spend 100K on an electric vehicle they can't use for anything but local city driving when they can buy a clean Diesel for half the price? Do you see any of these quick-charging stations on every route that you would normally desire to travel? Do you plan your travel so that you can stop every few hours to have the battery re-charged or a battery exchanged? Does this really make any sense to anyone except Elon?

A low cost EV might make sense for the city if you have good public transportation that you don't mind using for long distance travel but for the majority of people EVs are not even an option. It's laughable to think that electricity is free or that Tesla is going to provide free charges or battery exchanges. That's like expecting the oil companies to provide free petrol or diesel fuel. It ain't gonna happen in this lifetime. A diesel is a far more practical device for all commuting over an EV.

Using encryption? That means the US spooks have you on file

BornToWin

Perhaps

If you are using encryption and you don't have security clearance, maybe you have something to hide? It's a two way street.

Symantec sharpens axe as 1,700 awarded the Order of the Boot - report

BornToWin

It's unfortunate

It's unfortunate to see more job losses in a worldwide economic depression but for companies to survive is slow sales times they don't have a lot of options other than cutting the multi-million dollar CEO annual compensation, perks, stock bonuses, etc.

Techies finger Bradley Manning for US secret files database breach

BornToWin

There is always a digital trail

What goes around comes around. It doesn't matter what you opinion is of Manny or the military or the U.S. government. The fact is he illegal disclosed secret documents/information and he will be prosecuted like any other criminal who leaks secret information that has likely resulted in the dealths of many operatives working to protect the naive meatheads who have no clue how the world actually operates.
