You guys are lame. This SSD is the coolest thing you will ever know about.
You mean the hard drives or the big ass spaceship?
Hard drive. OCZ has a new one. Four Sandforce controllers. Special interface that connects to a PCI-E card. 2GBps bandwidth that you'd be hard pressed to saturate.
And you'll have to buy a new one every 2-3 years if you are using it frequently.

Also fun fact: There is less of a genetic difference between your average black person and white person than between the entire genetic diaspora that is commonly called "black."
In short race is a construct and should not be used as a concept in anything involving genetics.
people seem to have a tendency to ascribe to genetics way way too much

Well when you group people as black white red or yellow then yes i would agree, but race and genetics do get involved. Jewish people are more likely to have TSACS, sickel cell is most common in people of african heritage etc.
Unless I just missunderstood your post.

Will - it's been nearly a decade now since I was really into this stuff but when I was in college the fansubs for anime were generally better written english and more accurate in their translations (by far) than the stuff that was eventually churned out by american distributors.
I think that quality has gone up, now that it's a lot more mainstream than back then.

Well, you say "African heritage" and he says "black" and some people don't know there's a difference.

This is less the case now, but still often enough true
edit: assuming of course the show received any sort of international distribution in the first place.

I thought the life on SSDs has gotten to the point that they are fine now? Last time i read up on them i thought they were rated for like 2,000,000 hours.

Right but those are very specific things that involve a single mutation spreading throughout the population of an area. As opposed to something more complicated and stupid like "black people are inherently stupider" or "jews are innately greedy" or what have you.

Yes, they very much are. Intel is way ahead of everyone else on their controller tech and even their drives don't last all that long compared to platters. And cost about 800 bucks for a good one.

why are you convinced, then, prima faccae, that there is no genetic component to any racial/ gender differences or tendencies outside of the obvious first-order ones?
I have never said this, and in fact I have said the exact opposite several times, so I'm politely asking that you actually argue against me rather than some windmill upon which you've scotch-taped on a copy of my avatar and a nametag that says "Feral."
so you believe that it is possibile that there are distinct genetically-based behavioral or cognitive differences between different races of people or different genders of people?
because the example of "racism" you gave was drawing a possible causal vector between low IQ scores of blacks and a genetic tendency to perform poorly on IQ tests.
I've seen a few people on FOX News being surprisingly reasonable lately. I mean there's always Shep Smith, but I caught a bit of O'Reilly the other week and some lady was spewing vicious, made-up nonsense, and he was all being the voice of reason and stuff. Weird.
Of course for every reasonable person, there are probably three nutcases.

The basic issue with regards to most political discussions is that this doesn't mean you can imply either that any given black person has sickle-cell or that any given sickle-cell sufferer is black. So where genetic differences are cited, they're given more real-world weight they deserve. Again, this is an issue of a factually true statement ("there are genetic differences between X group and Y group") being given emphasis that it does not deserve in a context where it has minimal relevance.

Compared to his comrades, O'Reilly actually seems pretty reasonable. I mean, it's relative. I rarely agree with him, but when you put him up next to Palin, sometimes I actually feel sorry for him.

"The following program has been edited from its original form. To see the full unedited episode, order Showtime now"
I mean I appreciate the gesture and everything. But I also don't know how legit this is, and I'm doubting they will legally stream every episode after it airs.
What I'm saying is I want to pay Showtime moneys for this show just like the fuckload of other shows you can buy off iTunes (yes I would even resort to using iTunes).
Really I just want a Steam-like for music and video. So when I purchase something it's linked to my god damned account.
I'd buy so much music from iTunes if they didn't laugh and tell me to rebuy it if my HD crashes. Instead I only buy things off it that I can't find in a store.

Even if solid evidence of this hypothetical genetic etiology were found, it would have so little relevance on most common political or ethical discussions that emphasizing that evidence would itself be a racist or sexist position. Just because I think that an idea is being given too much weight doesn't mean I think the idea is factually untrue. However, in this case, there is no solid evidence of genetic etiology of cognitive differences between men and women or between black and white people.
The fact that we're having this discussion (that you're more interested in the truth value of the statement "there are genetic differences between X and Y groups" rather than the relevancy or context) pretty much demonstrates my point perfectly.
