My family was racist as hell. This can really make your life unnecessarily painful. After all these years I think it's the plain truth that Black people are better musicians and athletes than white people are. That's most likely a racist in reverse statement. Yet very true all the same. IMHO. I...

Thank you Dan, this classic tune is new to me.

I am very impressed by the sanity we are hearing from the younger ones. As The Who sang many moons ago, "the kids are alright."

Looks like "meh" should feature more largely in my brain. Thanks for the replies, they are far better than "meh."

Me neither, he is one very talented genius at music. He was accepted at Julliard at a very young age. But that voice...help!

Does Intel WANT to fix it? As it was most probably put into its procs at the behest of those whom call the shots, I have my doubts. Me paranoid?

This entire "human driverless" cars and trucks concept is a pile of horse droppings, imho. Somehow I don't think that Uber's butt wipes in charge give much care about their dead woman in Arizona. Maybe I'm wrong, I hope I am. But the "people" at the helm of Uber are evil, plain and simple. It's...

Bitcoin is a scam, it's the dream of money for no effort. IMHO. I apologize to you booman, I shouldn't have dangled that bauble ie, a $9000 Vidcard anywhere near any of our Members. It's performance is so outrageous that it will remain a thing of dreams for all of us, afaik. My bad!

https://hothardware.com/news/nvidia-unveils-dgx-2-32gb-tesla-v100-powered-machine-learning-beast The new Vidcard alone is about $9000. Wouldn't it be nice to pass the hat and buy one for booman?! Apologies booman, probably not realistic to expect one in the mail.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/03/its-not-just-spectre-researchers-reveal-more-branch-prediction-attacks/ Could be called "Spectre 2," and will require years to fix. Yay.

Thank you for your very helpful post(s) Dan. Perhaps that old Motown song "Stop!--in the name of love" should feature far more in my static filled mind. Hmm, "Omm" can put your mind to sleep, thanks for pointing that out. I think it was Neil Sedaka. Yes, it was. He wrote many "catch in your...

Thank you for your very kind message Dan. I am happy that you are contented in your "new" place to live. That's wonderful, I apologize for seeing far more conflict around you than you do. I definitely see far too many hassles than those that need addressing, looks like I'm addicted to this...

Shazaam, this is bad news. Sorta kinda looks like it may have been better to wait for a better new area to live in. Sure, why not let the manifold blessings of homelessness fill your days with joy? I'm sorry that this what probably seemed like an idyllic place to live has become so difficult...

Thank you Dan, but I'm assuredly a deep pool of ignorance. And so many kinds!

Oh dear, now it's me promoting old news. Apologies!

Thank you for the info, but it's pretty old news. Boy, must I carp about everything? Bad cloasters!

Funny, but "Smart" in the name of any electronic device really means "dumb user here. Sic 'em boys!" Isn't that cute? I don't and won't ever own a "smart phone." And they make my old fashioned dumb phone more of an effective spy every day. They just spy upon everything you do. Like just about...

You sure have an "arsenal" of great Vidcards. But, truth to tell-- you surely deserve them! It amazes me that you use a Win10(obligatory--and well deserved "bad!" for that OS) theme in Linux. I'm glad that you've figured out how to use little processor overhead while doing so. I don't like...

Using Aero in Win7 eventually got me to a message from my machine. Periodically I saw a message that read (roughly) "you sure you want to use Aero? Your processor can't handle the overhead properly." I soldiered on 'cause I loved the effect. I know, shame upon my house. The "Aero" offered in...
