You really need to qualify this by saying "home desktop use". Workstations need all the power you can throw at them and more. Its not 'rare' to need a fire breathing workstation for things like editing video, 3d design etc etc. My Win7 DVR re-encodes MPEG2 to MP4 every night, at least 4 hours of it. A 12 core is objectively faster at tasks like this then an 8 core (using your example). Even average people who shoot videos of their kids and want to edit them will definitely notice a difference between various levels of CPU power.
Researching how to set a stable OC, and cranking up the processor 'just cause' are very different. MOST overclockers dont do anything meaningful with the extra power. A good example is they save a few minutes on video re-encodes, but they dont know how to write a script so they load up each one by hand.
Their products run cooler, which is really important to me. I currently have 7 intel quad cores running in my household. (2 win7 DVRs, my wife's work and private laptop, PC gaming machine, development machine, Mac. All are Sandy Bridge or above. Ill make up the higher initial intel price point in electricity savings over time.
To me AMD isnt good enough compared to an intel solution. This doesnt even get into how Intel's R&D is second to none. This isnt fanboyism, its fact. I like that AMD exists, but lets keep in mind that 'you get what you pay for'.
NO its not, we are jsut assholes when it comes to distribution. We could EASILY feed, clothe and shelter every human on the planet if we abolished greed.
You can hack back, right up to your demarc, after that Castle Doctrine ends. What you are suggesting is finding out where the people who broke into your house live and shooting them.
If my wife texts me while im in the car Ill engage Siri and voice text back. However, if it doesnt work exactly right on the first try, i give up until i can pull over. I found i was dedicating too much brain power trying to correct it. I also make sure i fully form the message in my head before i engage Siri
PS+ will now be required for online play. Services, AKA Netflix will work without it. I would like to add that PS+ has become a really good value in the last few years. I still hate having to pay for multiplayer and always will, but they make up for it with free full AAA games.
I want more file freedom. Right now getting arbitrary data onto a stock iOS devices without infrastructure is a chore. I was hoping AirDrop would help ease some of that. Now that its clear that Im not getting it, I'm going to jump ship. Its a long standing issue i have had. The iphone 5 or better requirement for something so trivial is really what bugs me the most. This was my first iOS device and probably my last. What is the problem?
Even worse the ONE feature i was really looking for (Airdrop), is iphone 5 or above. I fucking hate that my 4S is the only device I have with a cellular connection and i cant share anything with it. Its a tiny little island of 'fuck you'. Definitely going ot android after this shit show.
We still live by that maxim to this day. Try not paying your taxes and see what happens. Men with guns will come and take everything you have. You are a fool if you think 'might makes right' isnt the rule still today.
A citizen is not in a position to judge the law? Are you serious? Lawyers can know the finer points of the law, but saying it is their exclusive domain is foolish.
Legal and Constitutional have become separate concepts in America. Spying on US citizens EN MASS should be illegal, you dont need a law degree to see this.
THe main sticking point is that right now, you put a game in an xbox360, it plays without question. On an Xbone, that goes away. You put a disc in and get PERMISSION to run it.

Indies can self-publish on PS4.
NO it cant. Sony would face ENORMOUS legal problems changing the discs from physical licenses to not in mid-cycle.

The law is an exercise in exceptions.
The indians had land they couldnt hold, and lost it just like every other weak nation in the history of the world.
Legal and Constitutional have become separate concepts in America. Spying on US citizens EN MASS should be illegal, you dont need a law degree to see this.
In the current political climate, i wouldnt admit to anything regarding telecom or computers.
Ron Paul is also an enormous hypocrite.
This is what i suspect too. They want to be able to 'read' the populace.
THe main sticking point is that right now, you put a game in an xbox360, it plays without question. On an Xbone, that goes away. You put a disc in and get PERMISSION to run it.
THe Publishers are running this show, not MS and Sony. The Pubs want this DRM, i assure you it will be on both platforms.
Hardwired lights arent. Given the proper commands you can toggle it.
IM glad people are actually seeing the direct Telescreen analogy. Xbone fulfills all the requirements of one, easily.
You can, but the Xbox will cease to function until you plug it back in.
And will share the same used game strategy. This was worked out long ago by the PUBLISHERS.
