    Apple has fragmentation too, but they hide it MUCH better.

    NO, their own stupidity, lack of training and foresight made sure they didnt have a viable backup.

    The same reason we have lots of other ethical rules, to limit abuse and fraud. That is the quick and dirty answer, but you did provide me with some things to think about.

    Why not? Lets cut out the middle man of the right-of-way process and let the government handle it. I dont LOVE it, but its the best ive come up with so far.

    10 years ago i had some bad Kingston RAM. I live close to their factory so to RMA it, they let me come to factory and exchange it. Over the last 10 years i have bought mostly Kingston products and none have failed except for that stick 10 years ago. Anecdotal, i know, but its what i got.

    Why are paid people allowed to post at all? Shouldn't their mod privileges be revoked when it is discovered they are paid?

    I want the government to own the conduit, i want the ISPs to switch the packets.

    This is a shitty argument. I want someone with a SCIENTIFIC background to run our communications, not a lobbyist.

    Then dont buy Apple, its not for you. The VAST MAJORITY of USERS (you know, the people who we make computer s work for?) just want a disc they can slip in their car CD player and go. USER REQUESTS ARE WHAT COMPUTERS ARE FOR!

    Jobs genius was knowing what you take away is is just as important as what you put in. The story of the Itunes CD burn team is a great example. Jobs would describe a specific FUNCTION (like burning a CD) and then have an elegant solution engineered that would cut away any unnecessary fluff.

    Hold on there bucko. To do so would make any assisted ability (for handicaps) null. Dont give away the future just because of copyright and your tenuous grip on the reality of privacy. The Alamo Drafthouse records you from the moment you pull up in the parking lot, you never EVER had privacy there.

  19. Re:I feel sorry for PS4/XBone early adopters on Grand Theft Auto V For Modern Platforms Confirmed · · Score: 1

    But that extra $200 doesnt get me access to Naughty Dog, Incognito, Sucker Punch, That Game Company, Polyphony Digital, Guerilla, Santa Monica Studios.....etc. I have every grade of Steam Machine (good, better, best) and none of them can outright replace the PS4. I consider the machine worth the $400 just on those studios alone. I know the games from those studios are coming so it doesnt bother me that the selection is a 'little' sparse right now.

    There is nothing wrong with GTA IV. People didnt understand how to tweak it and failed to realize the hardware needed to run it. Like Crysis, in the long run im glad they went the route they did, as we enjoyed the game much longer than we would have otherwise.

    Actually at $400, the hardware is a damn good deal.

    Exactly. If Midnight Club LA had realistic traffic, it would be a parking lot simulator.

    PC has had those issues forever. In Halo CE people with crap graphics cards had a distinct advantage in that their card couldn't properly render the invisibility cloak so it was much easier to see.

    They dont hold the image data, they scan it, assign a few bytes of metadata to it and dump it. Doesnt make it any less illegal.
