Re: Republican Party Unbound Delegate Says: Voters Don't Choose Nominee, We Do

bjb1959 — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 10:19:10 -0000

no moron, the point is that the delegates are supposed to support the will of the voters. there has never been a time when the delegates ever went against the voters in choosing the candidate. This would be the first time ever and it doesn't make it ok to go against the will of the voters that sent you to represent them, effectively disenfranchising them and nullifying their vote. I don't like Trump as a candidate either BUT, the voters are speaking and the delegates should not (even if technically they can) go against the wishes of the voters that they represent. If they choose to do so they will cause ripples that may very well destroy the party for a long time, maybe even permanently. I have been an independent for over 20 years for reasons just like this one. I agree with the poster that says why even have Primaries if the majority's will is ignored? makes no sense.

Re: Ubuntu 16.04 Won’t Support AMD Catalyst Fglrx Driver

Gamers should use NVIDIA cards. even Steam recommends using NVIDIA for best performance/experience.

I fought and fought and fought with my old AMD card built into my old motherboard to get games to work properly and usually had some kind of problems no matter what I did. finally just bought an NVIDIA card and the troubles went away. my current Ubuntu machine with NVIDIA 950 GTX card runs all games and programs flawlessly. so the issue has nothing to do with the kernel or linux or Ubuntu for that matter.

Ubuntu is not the only Linux distribution out there moron. and the issue is with AMD not Canonical. so stop being a nit.

Not true John. Windows is pretty much crap and Windows 10 steals a bunch of stuff from linux, Ubuntu in particular. features it is trying to patent that linux/Ubuntu have had for years. typical of Microsucks. I run an i5 with nvidia 950 gtx card and can play all the AAA titles on Linux (1900 games currently available on steam with another 100 set to be released shortly. mac has 2900 so we are catching up) at full resolution, everything maxed with no issues.

solution: buy an nvidia card and stop blaming Ubuntu

Re: Indiana Jones Theory Makes Nuking the Fridge Forgivable?

bjb1959 — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 11:04:19 -0000

ok, so a crystal skull from an ancient alien that brings ancient alien skeletons back to life who then sucks the soul from, and disintegrates the body of, the Russian chick is believable but the fridge scene is unforgivable? really? I thought this was just entertainment for entertainment sake, not a science documentary.

Re: Who is Rachel Parent and why does she keep repeating herself?

bjb1959 — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 09:05:46 -0000

again with the generalizations. basically just unsubstantiated comments with no basis in any fact. "Multiple consumer polls" which ones? give links. "have consistently shown that over 90%" prove it. I also love how you always use "smart people get it right away" basically you are saying "anyone who doesn't agree with me is an idiot" so you just resort to name calling when you can't prove your point. GMO labeling is not required because GMO's are not bad, there is no scientific evidence they are and we have been genetically modifying food for 10,000 plus years. just because there are 64 countries that think they should does not make them bad it simply makes the leaders of those countries paranoid and means they don't understand the science, kind of like you. everything you have ever eaten since you have been alive, everything your parents, grand-parents, great-grand-parents ate was genetically modified. labeling is moot and a waste of time, it would be easier if you are so paranoid to just start growing your own fruits and veggies and raising your own animals. you would need to find un-modified seeds and livestock first (good luck with that) but I think you should definitely try.

here, let me help you out on this one since you don't seem to understand: Pseudoscience is a claim, belief or practice presented as scientific, but which does not adhere to the scientific method.[1][2] A field, practice, or body of knowledge can reasonably be called pseudoscientific when it is presented as consistent with the norms of scientific research, but it demonstrably fails to meet these norms.[3] This describes you, not scientific proof derived using scientific methods. I will try again, please provide your scientific proof (links to peer reviewed articles) that support your position so we can all learn something. Can you?

Re: Who is Rachel Parent and why does she keep repeating herself?

bjb1959 — Tue, 09 Feb 2016 14:09:32 -0000

please provide the links for the newsletter and or the name of the health care organization etc. give us the proof. if you can't or won't than you are just an idiot as everybody here is saying.

Re: Who is Rachel Parent and why does she keep repeating herself?

bjb1959 — Tue, 09 Feb 2016 14:07:01 -0000

please provide me with a link to the peer reviewed scientific article that states 90% of Americans are against GMO's and the peer reviewed scientific article that states GMO's are bad and that the industry puts genocide chemicals in them and I will say I am sorry right now. of course you won't, because you can't. and that "teen age girl" as you call her is old enough to go all over the media trying to help her daddy sell his stuff so she is old enough to be criticized.

Re: Who is Rachel Parent and why does she keep repeating herself?

bjb1959 — Tue, 09 Feb 2016 10:03:36 -0000

Yes, I absolutely agree that the truth is the truth. You, unfortunately, have no idea what that means. you and your ilk have no proof of your propaganda. it is simply your opinion based on your irrational hatred of anything you decide you don't trust or like. if it's a big company it has to be bad and they have to want to hurt us. you don't need proof, you don't need science. heck, all the scientists are in on it too, I mean they have to be because they don't agree with you and if they don't agree with you then they are being paid by the big bad evil big companies that you don't trust or like so therefore it has to be a conspiracy because you couldn't possibly be delusional , or wrong, or just plain crazy. no of course not, it couldn't possibly be you so it must be them right? luckily 90% of the world are not complete idiots and will only make decisions based of fact and scientific effort. As soon as any of you actually put forth peer reviewed scientific fact to support anything you say, and that includes teen aged girls, then we might pay attention. but until then you are just a sad, sick human being that really needs to get some psychological help in a very bad way.

I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about anti-GMO freaks not "smart" people. A genocide agent?? really, what kind of a moron actually believes that any food company would want to kill their source of income? that has to be the most paranoid, schizophrenic BS I have ever heard but please provide your links to the scientific sources of data you "smart" people used to form your opinions and I would be more than willing to research them and see if I agree with you or not. or are facts not important to "smart" people.

Re: 10 Video Apps to Rotate Video for Android User

I installed your #1 suggestion on my V10 "Fast Video Rotate". it couldn't find any videos on my phone no matter what folder I switched to. Horrible app and the fact that you think it is number 1 means I can't trust any of your picks. But thanks for playing....

Re: Verizon LG V10 Gets A Small Bug Fix Update

bjb1959 — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 13:25:14 -0000

love my V10, first Lg phone I have owned. great quality. battery life isn't horrible and i am sure there will be updates to help with that in the future. lowering the brightness on the screen helps as well (plus you can buy an extra battery if you don't have ready access to charging during the day). I purchased a 128 GB sd card for 65.00 from best buy and now have 192 GB of storage on this phone. Don't see myself updating for awhile.

Re: Have proprietary Linux games failed?

bjb1959 — Thu, 07 Jan 2016 11:25:06 -0000

I currently have quite a few AAA and indie games that I run on my Ubuntu machine using Steam. I hope you are wrong about this but if you are correct I will just not purchase any more games vs keeping a windows machine just for games. I will support them while they exist but won't support them on any other platform so my money goes when they do. I know my money doesn't mean anything to them but such is life.

Re: High School Players Who Targeted Referee Say Their Coach Told Them To Do It

bjb1959 — Fri, 18 Sep 2015 14:34:35 -0000

If it was true he was using racial slurs than a complaint needed to be filed, witnesses lined up and the ref fired, not assaulted. there are ways of dealing with issues better than violence. so, they need to file the complaint still, line up witnesses and if found guilty he should be fired along with the head football coach. the players should be suspended at a minimum if not removed from competition permanently for committing violence, even if told to do so.

Re: Athlon Cover Catch-Up: Cory Ross Talks Omaha Beef, Admiration for Bill Callahan

bjb1959 — Thu, 17 Sep 2015 12:44:06 -0000

the offense under Callahan was never the issue. it was the defense and his unwillingness to address the issue because the DC was his buddy. That is why he failed, not because of the offense.

Re: Google Hates Desktop Linux!

bjb1959 — Thu, 17 Sep 2015 11:44:43 -0000

2015 pc market is 268 million units. 2% would be 5.3 million, so you are saying you are ok ignoring 5.3 million people? that it isn't worth the buying power of 5.3 million people? chump change? really? also, Android is Linux, ChromeOS is Linux, I don't think you create good will by alienating 5.3 million people, that is still a ton of money you are leaving on the table. in terms of Google drive you could potentially get 50 million dollars per month extra from that "tiny" group, 600 million dollars per year potential income from that "tiny" group. so maybe Google is just not seeing the forrest for the trees.

Re: Chipotle says goodbye to GMO food thanks to Food Babe

if they are truly GMO free they can only have wild berries, wild game, wild caught fish and shell fish. there is not a grain or vegetable we eat that has not been heavily genetically modified and selectively bread over thousands of years

Re: Bethesda responds to outrage over paid Skyrim mods

bjb1959 — Thu, 30 Apr 2015 10:43:52 -0000

if modders want to give their work away for free so be it. what pisses me off is consumers (leaches) that think there is some kind of moral imperative that they be given mods for free and that anyone that wants to be paid for their work is bad/evil. It's the frame of mind that they "deserve" to be given stuff that annoys me.

Re: Bethesda responds to outrage over paid Skyrim mods

bjb1959 — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 20:02:02 -0000

50%? I agree modders should get more but not 50% they didn't write Skyrim, they are just modding an existing code base. I think 35% would be fair.
