This is clearly an attempt to stifle innovation to protect a decaying CPU business.
So I can replace my CPU with a GPU the next time I buy a computer? Oh wait...
In five years nobody will need a powerfull GPU anymore. Run a real time ray trace benchmark on your PC and if you got a recent powerfull CPU (like me) you'll see why the scanline rendering is nearing it's end. At 1024x768 I get 60fps without shadows and 30fps with hard shadows. The benchmark wasn't even optimised for multithreading!
It appears as if though Microsoft thinks that if it deliberately destroys its own OS it will make more revenue.
LOL! We'll be seeing another increase in Linux's growthrate when Win7 is released.
Accoring to my prediction I made four years ago, Microsoft still has six years to go before loosing it's entire desktop marketshare. Well it sure is on the right track. ^_^
Ah yes... and afterwards came that ring bearer. What was his name again? Hmmm, I can remember. RMS, you wouldn't still have that Proprietary Software ring I once gave you?
Yes, that's so totally logical... first there is no interoperability, then Microsoft creates one to destroy it again.
Dude, I curse at everything Microsoft is doing and the sooner they go bankrupt the better, but how can you embrace, extend and extinquish interoperability?:S
There's not even patents involved. Do you even have a clue whatsoever about what you're talking about???
Invest all the money you'd invest into the new internet into improving the OpenBSD firewall (incoming and outgoing), installer and mandatory access controls, Wine, X's DRI and a next-gen 3D game engine with insane powertools and not only would you save a shitload of money on the long run, you wouldn't even have to start over with internet v.3 because you wouldn't need any.
From a company standpoint they are full of win. Creating the most succesful company ever by means of making and selling software is an insane achievement.
The software they are making itself, however, is full of fail. Creating the most shittiest OS on the planet - no - ever is also an achievemnt.
I was going to tell you politely how Linux is more desktop ready than Windows and that you don't need to compile shit and touch the CLI even once and that there are some gamers (gaming nothing to do with the desktop, rather something with consoles) who cannot switch because Wine hasn't got full Direct3D support yet, but instead I am going to say this:
The only theory that hasn't proven itself wrong. Creationism is a joke. Who created god?
You are just parroting 'conclusions' drawn from badly conducted studies. Try to think for yourself.
Evidence based practise, as I said before. Tried in the field.
Materialistic people aren't evolved. They're the unevolved body conscious people, as opposed to athletes.
Survival of the fittest != survival of the strongest.
Just like the vast majority of geeks are not mental genius, just focused on one tiny area and only good at that.
Vast majority.
A true alpha male will bond with both jocks and geeks, because he will possess qualities from both the mind and body that both admire.
True, and wrong. The alpha male is a group leader that leads the entire group. Wheter it'll be geeks, nerds, jocks, etc. He doesn't however pick both jocks and geeks because of the reason you just gave.
All those scientific studies sound pretty, but a large problem happens when you ask people's opinion about what they do. Problem is people don't understand why they do the things they do. It's why the type of woman they say they find attractive is hardly ever the type of woman that they are currently with!
Indeed, that's true for the majority of people. That is the concious part of the brain that doesn't know why it's doing what it does. Enter: the subconcious/instinct.
Let's just say that something as simple as the theory of evolution is missing too much of the picture to accurately describe what's going on.
Let's just say that evolutions explains all the above; the instincts are still present and when triggered the right way you can get all the woman/girls/chicks that you want.
As for evolutionary scale, let's just say that you attract those that are at the same sort of broken level than you are. Doesn't have to be the same broken, lot's go for man defective in brain, woman defective in body.
Whoman are looking for men that they have the highest possibility of survival. This is (yes, again...) the alpha male. A person that has a lot of friends for example. Also woman are looking for a man that takes good care of his body and looks, because that would mean he could also take good care of the offspring. Woman also judge men by smell (is your smell saying you have different genes than you are likely to get picked ou, unless the woman takes the pill and then she'll be liking a smell that says "hey I have the same genes as you!")
The reverse, where the geeks get the woman is becoming quite popular. Though being a submissive slave for a materialistic doll doesn't qualify as a win in my books:)
Onces again, the alpha male: money is power. Sucks though I know. Predictions and surveys tell that about 66% of the woman are 'materialistic' (read evolved: money is power, power equals protecting the offspring)
A man is looking for a girl with (among other things ofcourse) stunning looks (better change at making healthy offspring). This is the reason woman take so much time shopping for clothes (and hours of doing so in order to find clothes that are better than what they already liked a 100 shops ago). That is also the reason girls remember the shoes of another girl because woman compete at looks.
Woman communicate mostly with behavior instead of words, if you haven't figured out the 'behavior'-language by know then you realy will never understand woman.
I am not really sure what you mean, but you have to remember that not all guys are same and not all girls are the same. We are all humans and we are all different.
Could you please explain what the 'evolutionary' scale is? I do actually know (evidence based practice) what attracts woman. I also know that woman who take the pill are attracted to the exact opposite smell of men they like when they are not on the pill.
The list goes on and on and on...
Oh btw, woman that are not taking the pill are attracted to men with totally different gene, so I don't know about this evolutionary scale that your talking about.
No I didn't, I just studied the differences between men and whoman. Men are good at some stuff whoman totally suck at and whoman are good at some stuff men totally suck at.
Notice the same kind of reactions reactions I get when talking to whoman about what guys are good at and whoman suck at.
$800 GPU?!?! Boy... that's a ripoff... I bought the best-of-the-best AMD ATI HD4870 X2 for 649 euros (about $700) at the time.
Why? Becuase I've learned that a $800 computer mostly lasts 3 years, while a $1100 PC can last at least 6 years! That save you $500 in 6 years!
What to buy? Super-ultra-hyper quality motherboard and PSU. A "not that fast" CPU (like a Phenom 9950), but with a large amount (8GB) default high quality default RAM (like not overclock crap but Kingston value RAM), so your CPU actualy performs better than a $600 priced CPU with about 2-4GB ram (idiot!).
Yeah, how the hell do you think we 'burn' our OpenSparc images?;)
Here, download yours, get a fab by post order and you no longer have to get retail copies of those evil proprietary CPU's: http://www.opensparc.net/download/index.html
nVidia has never said they are going to make a x86 CPU. Maybe, because games are now stongly gearing towards the CPU (and in three years we will have enough CPU power for traingle (quadric) raytracing with all the fancy effects on 1280x768 res), nVidia may be thinking it would be better if they had an awesome non-x86, CUDA based CPU onboard that blend realy well with their GPU's, so that gamers could save money on the CPU and spend that money on nVidia cards. You simply 'steal' the revenue from Intel and AMD.

Use e17? Doing it right now :)
That doesn't outrule that he is about to be doing a lot of good things... Things in this world aren't always as black and white.
Just saying...
Dear Mr. Selfproclaimed Phychiatrist,
How is saying that making me mentally ill?
It has everything to do with a large company supporting this kinda shit on it's OS.
But oh well, I guess it's unethical and immoral saying that I can only laugh at companies who support this kinda shit.
Kthnxbye,

Assuming that Moonlight is the Death Star...
Good point!

I just got out of my bed 2 minutes ago and by vaguely reading the word FLOP I thought about Floating point Operations Per Second...
"Hey guys, want to head over to the mall and check out the latest collection of design chairs?"
"Awesome! Let's go!"
There. Corrected that for you.
From a company standpoint they are full of win. Creating the most succesful company ever by means of making and selling software is an insane achievement.
The software they are making itself, however, is full of fail. Creating the most shittiest OS on the planet - no - ever is also an achievemnt.
Well I guess that makes MS full of WIN after all.
I thought the first failure was DOS, followed by Windows.

You are blinded by the theory of evolution.

I am sorry but the female sex is more aware if their surroundings than men do. Men are quite socialy and visiualy handicapped.
You think that she is living in her own world because you don't understand the complexity of social and group inteligence.
