I understood ALL of that. What you dont understand is that GeoHot was about to remove all those limits until Sony gave him a big check and told him to shut up or they will ruin him. I bought my Linux capable PS3 KNOWING that at some point we would get 'gpu' access. And we almost did, right up until Sony used the DMCA as a sledgehammer.
The definition of war is not vague. It is a declared conflict between NATION-STATES. We are not at war with any NATION-STATE at this time. We are engaged in policing actions around the world, but not war.
You realize that AMD and Intel have a cross-licensing agreement, so its completely moot who came up with it. If your point was to show AMD somehow is a superior CPU manufacturer, well thats just not supported by the facts. There was a time when AMD came close to parity with Intel, but that was more Intel mis-stepping than AMD's prowess.
I paid for the h.264 hardware encoder on the card itself. I bought the card in large part because my last card didnt have one. I shouldn't have to register and log in to access it.
Yes. This is the future we feared when Steam raised its head. A hundred different logins and services running on your machine that demand to be updated or refuse to work. We are squarely back in the mainframe era again.
For the record, i like Steam a lot, but i saw where it would lead. Now i have Steam, Origin, Gog.com, Blizzard, Ubisoft, and Epic game launchers on my machine, plus the graphics drivers will soon require a login. Windows 10 all but requires a MS account so another service login there. Yes the computing world has gone quite mad.
While true, if you want to use shadowplay, you have to install Geforce Experience, which will soon require a login. Nvidia has no high ground here and in fact im betting AMD is just following the green team. For reference, i own a 570GTX, 770 GTX and 980ti GTX
Its just not that simple and you know it. Things that you do today, might become a problem later due to cultural or political shifts. Privacy is important, full disclosure is not an option for humans. The only way this would work is if we had true human telepathy and a hive mind.
Its simply not that easy. People are always looking for weaknesses. Even if you own up to everything you have done, people will still look to take advantage of the information. Its a huge massive attack surface.
Installing without admin privs in the user folder is something to be damned, not praised. If you want to use portable Chrome in the user folder, great, but standard Chrome breaks all the rules. You think its a great app because you are ignorant.
UAC works exactly like password prompts on OSX do, save for the dimming of the screen. Its there for you to realize, "hey im doing a system-level change, is everything correct?"
One time I asked Siri where the nearest camera store is, she replied with 'whats wrong with the camera in your hand?'. That was the last time i used Siri.
" I'm also curious to know if he gave a similar bump in salary to those employees who were already making over $75k."
Why? This is part of the problem, it shouldnt matter. $75,000 is more than enough money to live off of almost anywhere in the country. I HATE that people expect to be raised up equally every time we try to lift the floor up a few inches for those on the bottom. It shouldnt matter what your coworker makes as long as you have enough in your bowl.
You misunderstood Alton. He meant he only ALLOWS one unitasker in his kitchen, and thats the fire extinguisher. He has a whole list of kitchen tools that are banned because they only do one job in the kitchen.
Fair enough. I will amend to say that the original length of 14+14 as decided by Congress at the time was fair and reasonable. The current implementation is not.

FLOP/watt calculation is bounded by time and operating budget.
You are joking right?
We all knew this is the kind of crap MS planned when they bought Minecraft.

My god you are a child. You want all the power and none of the responsibility.
Fuck you, seriously. Safety is not the first concern of computing. Further, that is the responsibility of the USER.

GeForce Experience is NOT optional if you want to use Shadowplay, a hardware feature i paid for.

Valve requires quicktime to use their Source video editor and the replay generator in TF2.
No, not even close. Legally actionable monopolies are quite rare. The last one we saw was Microsoft and even they are no longer one.

This is where all of computing is now. Most online companies have the ability now to nudge their UI and behaviors in ways to drive customers.
The short answer is humans are whiny bitches that expect 'fairness' to include inducing suffering for no reason.
