Because for the same price ($500) I got the same RAM, a 3.8ghz quad core APU capable of playing last years games and able to crossfire to double it's GPU for $80 (later), and a much larger hard (500GB). Took 20 minutes to assemble it. Probably took me less time to just buy what I wanted, and put it together than you did stumbling around looking for deals and redeeming coupons. Additionally: I got a much better machine, with all new parts, which will last a few more years than yours will. That's why.
I mean, if you're time's worth so damn much, you can't spare 20min to assemble the system, then you'll be making enough money that price isn't a consideration -- What's a few hundred dollars? I suspect this isn't actually the case, I mean, if it was you'd just buy the best thing possible at the time so that you wouldn't have to waste time upgrading that crappy 160GB drive later.
Tthe API is mostly irrelevant now. Seriously. Everything is shaders now. Any engine devs would be fools to not select a cross platform shader language. Doing otherwise is throwing away good money.
Agreed. I too build my own OpenGL engines. I've built engines for D3D / DrirectX too, but OpenGL is easier. Things like texture memory management is done for you. With DirectX I spent half the time building fucking memory managers for things (which wind up exactly the same as everyone else's). The whole "Direct to the graphics cart" shit is retarding. The per card tweaks yield no real net benefit. IMO, it's just laziness on MS's part -- "Let's make them lock and release memory mapped objects because you know what engine devs love? Creating Memory Managers!" Ugh.
One would think, that if they are such a good hackers, they just probably have a few Asian proxy over there, or perhaps even a host of Asian looking shells. Kaspersky has to call Section 9.
No. You never hear about the really good hackers. Ever. That's how good they are.
About as hard as it is to make a web browser... But once you have one of those, it's a piece of cake.
Supporting all the RETARDING document formats (other than HTML) is what's hard. Really, WTF people. We solved this problem and everyone just ignores the fact.
Hello morons. NASA didn't know about the rock that exploded over Russia until it was too late. None of these bastards can be trusted when they start gibbering on about risks. The truth is THEY ARE FUCKING BLIND. A mole has a better time finding its way in broad daylight than we do seeing crap in space.
They give us highly detailed pictures of very small parts of the night sky. Great. Awesome in fact. However, we actually DON'T have the kind of wide scale whole sky studying system required to make ANY reliable risk assessments -- Based on... What?! The TINY patches of sky we have studied with great detail, and some other images from murky underfunded telescopes -- Which didn't even detect that we had A DAMN DWARF PLANET called Eris (more massive than Pluto) orbiting our Sun until Just 8 years ago -- they're making risk predictions? Don't make me laugh. Seriously. That's why Pluto's not a planet. If it were we'd have to own up to the fact that there was another PLANET there all along and we didn't see it.... Grr.
THINK people. The geologic record shows we're over due for a mass extinction event. Might not be an asteroid, maybe gamma burst or volcanic eruption, etc. The point is that we really don't have much of any information at all in any of these respects -- Not the kind we'd need to kick back and rest on our laurels like dinosaurs proclaiming, "Yeah, a few little rocks fell, but no harm really, the sky's not falling..." Right before the sky did fall right on their big ignorant heads.
I'm not saying we should panic. I'm saying we need to make a concious decision as a race to not become extinct -- To not let our light go out of the Universe just because of greed. We need to swap the budgets of the armed forces and the space programs until this shit is sorted. Once we have more space infrastructure to ensure we're not going to be extincted by the next big rock, THEN we can worry about fighting over petty shit on this planet. All our eggs are in one basket here on Earth. That's moronic. We NEED a self sustaining off-world colony of humans just to ensure the survival of our species. Until we have at least that, then YES, we are in SUPREME DANGER of becoming extinct; In fact, it's a 1:1 probability that our extinction will occur at present.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled not giving a damn about anything beyond your own lifespan. Screw you humans. You'll get yours.
Patent lawsuits are not *always* bullshit. Some lawsuits are completely legitamite.
Ni! I say, Ni at you! Patent lawsuits are *always* bullshit. There are no Geniuses. There are only "individuals ordinarily skilled in the art". Edison did not invent the light bulb, he improved it with argon. Tesla did not invent A/C. Bell did not invent the Telephone. You have no Geniuses. That is wool in your eyes.
Let me tell you how patents are made. An individual ordinarily skilled in the arts, charged with creating solutions to problems as a requirement of their very employment, goes about their days coming up with a solution to the problems at hand. They all do. Everywhere. Once a week or month or year (if you're lucky), a patent attorney is paid to make rounds at the company. This lawman goes round and asks, "Have you created anything that you consider clever since our last meet?" These rank and file employees are awarded bonuses for any idea that gets approved as a patent, so ANY little idea they have that they consider clever they submit.
Now, we are all living in the same culture at the same time. There are many companies and many workers finding solutions to the same sorts of problems. So, naturally, anything you think is clever has been thought of, or will VERY SHORTLY be thought of, by someone else. You're not a fucking genius. If you were you wouldn't be working for that corporation... see? Geniuses don't exist.
The patent and trade office is thus SWAMPED with patent filings. They try to throw out the most obvious ones, but the thing is: There Is No Test For Obviousness even though patents are required not to be so. Instead they can only use the search tools to locate existing claims in their own database. English being a particularly tricky and ambiguous language, and the database being publicly available, means that the patent attorney can reword the patent claims until no hits will be found in the database, even if it describes the exact same thing. You see, if this attorney doesn't yield patents they'll be fired. So, the PTO grants patents with full knowledge that they may not even be valid -- If you want a patent that won't hold water, then they'll let you pay for it. The PTO trusts that any invalid patents will go through the court system if they're to be used against someone.
The court system generally holds the PTO in high esteem, and considers it a matter of job security to have a continual stream of lawsuits and defendants and claimants to pick over in court -- Yep, Like parasitic vultures feasting on the still living but soon dead husks of the economic entities that are unlucky enough to encounter a courtroom. So, they're reluctant to obliterate a patent, and its very costly to get one invalidated -- Which is odd, since the PTO knows that they're granting a percentage of invalid patents... We have court room evidence to prove it.
The state of things is such that the more patents you hold the more likely you'll be able to prevent competition. Thus making it almost impossible for the smaller start ups to stand a chance against the established entities. Some places have FRAND requirements to license patents, but this doesn't help - Why should you have to PAY for some moronic rank-and-file code-monkey / electrical engineer's barely understandable not really that clever ideas that flew under the patent clerk's crowded radar?
The purpose of patents is to free the ideas, bring them to the public... However, NO ONE IS SEARCHING THE PATENT DATABASE. Everyone just goes and "re-invents the wheel" because it's just like doing their jobs normally. In fact, if you do find out about a patent in the database that you MIGHT be infringing and some one takes you to court over it, TRIPPLE DAMAGES can be levvied against you. So, there's ZERO use for the patent database. The information is TOXIC, colluded, and indecipherable, not even clever. There's no good ideas in there to mine that you can licen
I think all companies should be required to disclose all their public facing IP addresses, and business parters that they share data with. This way we can create a web spider that can completely block all of one's traffic between yourself and the company. Think about it. The problem is that we don't know where our browsers are connecting to -- The browser does, but users typically don't know except for the address bar (which is only a small percentage of the connections made on a typical page). Seriously, if your browser popped up "Would you like me to send a request to 'DoubleClick.Net'? [y/N] [x] remember this choice" Would ANYONE actually say yes?
Seriously, although I hate them and would rather folks join our forums or IRC, I must use social networks to connect with the community at large.
Hmm... this could be taken to mean I hate the social networks, OR the community at large. Given the vast quantity of annoying idiots far outnumbering rational likeable folks, yeah, I'd say I hate most of "the community" for large values of "community". I hate social networks more that the worst of trolls though, but they're sadly a necessity. It's where people are.
Hint: You're not their customer. You're their product.
Hint: You're not my friend or follower, you're my target demographic.
Seriously, although I hate them and would rather folks join our forums or IRC, I must use social networks to connect with the community at large. I even bounce ideas off of them while letting interested folks know about what's up with the stuff (games) I'm working on. Also we get to share some other unrelated interests while we're at it.
As a "product" on the social networking sites I use them to subscribe to things I want to know about, but don't want to have to remember to check on. I'd love it if everyone just had RSS enabled and kept me up to date on their stuff that way, but not everyone does (indie game devs, specifically of Roguelikes, I'm looking at you). I don't ever use it for personal correspondence or to share "private" stuff with friends and family -- Sharing family photos and backing up grandma's hard drive is what our family's website and private cloud is for.
That said, if advertizing begins to drown out my message to those who're interested specifically in my stuff, or it begins to overly pollute the feed of data I wish to collect from others then I'm out. It's a fine line to walk. The point is that, not only are we the product, but they are a services and I'm using it for my benefit -- We call this situation "being a User". If you're not a user, you're a fool.
putting your job title anywhere should never automatically mean that. you want official company comments, go to said company's twitter feed. end.of.story.
i am so sick of corporate nonsense like this.
It's not the corporations it's the people. It doesn't matter how loudly you shout "These opinions are not those of my employer", the people will consider that those opinions do carry over into your work life, in meetings, where you're asked your opinion on such things. Idiot.
My new malware detection strategy is garaunteed to detect 100% of all web based malware.
The AV solution is so fast and simple, you don't need to install anything, you don't even have to click a single link (I would reccomend you don't): In my AV system Every Page is Considered Malware!
Facial recognition software can pull up names from the library of tagged images in social networks, never forget who that person is or where you met them again.
Chuckle uncontrollably for seemingly no reason at all to those around you as friends send you the latest funny pic they've discovered.
While riding through town (as a passenger I hope) you can see the sales shop owners have posted on their Google Earth coupon layer. Could you do that with a phone? Yes, but you won't stare constantly through the AR display. With Google Now trying to figure out what you actually like.
Take discrete up-close pictures of muscley men, curvaceous cleavage, plumber cracks, and other such incredible things. People of Walmart website will explode with new pictures.
Get hassled by cops for simply looking their way...
Further wallow in A.D.D. with music playing in your ear buds while you do your (home) work, a TV on in the background, a wiki page open on your computer (just behind the video game), text messages being typed on your phone, and now pron that no one but you can see!
Wave at perfect strangers as you manipulate the augmented reality display with your hands (camera detects hands as "pointers") -- It's like when someone says hello to you in the super market you turn and say, "Uh, Hi! Do I know you?" and they frown and point to their hands free headset... only this time you can exchange gestures instead of dirty looks.
Basically, imagine all the cool and kind of creepy stuff you can do with your cell phone, if only you could stare through the camera display all the time, and people wouldn't frown at you pointing your cell's cam right at them, and looking at it instead of them. That said, expect to have folks request you, "Take off that damn camera when I'm talking to you."
Here's how I use Bitcoin: I convert a stable currency to Bitcoin, then buy things with it immediately. I accept payment in Bitcoin and convert it to a more stable currency immediately. The exchange rates make no difference to me. Even if it was a million Bitcoins to a dollar, it would still be useful to me.
So there you have it. In a market where investors wouldn't touch it, still has tons of value to folks who just want to buy and sell things without costly wire-transfer fees... So, you're wrong. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
Once again, the conservative, sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor.
And with High Frequency Trading, you can get rid if your sandwiches before they go bad. Everybody wins!
Yes, but HFT is pointless. They only take a little nibble per each sandwich trade which would have gotten traded anyway without HFTs, so we're essentially feeding them all for no reason, they're just leaches... For what? A little bit more Liquidity? Who Wants a Soggy Sandwich?!
I wish give me a huge payout to lobby them with. Hell, I'll even give 99% of it back as campaign contributions. Fuck, I don't even have a political agenda or demands!
Well, here in the USA Things like AT&T's "U-Verse" do benefit directly from better infrastructure, it's essentially IP-TV. Additionally, Google may not produce much content, but they do own Youtube... I dropped $2 to rent 'The Matrix' via Youtube to test it out. Seemed pretty good. About the same as Netflix.
The problem is that it's getting cheaper to deliver the data, and yet the prices are going up. Why? Because it's cheaper to oversell existing bandwidth than to build out infrastructure and compete on service. You're right, lack of competition is the problem. They do have incentive to offer more speed and usage, but it's just not as great as the incentive to make more money by doing nothing.
... so that I could confirm with a trusted third party that when someone claims to be speaking for, or doing the will of God, that I can reliably confirm it instead of just having to take the original individual's word for it.
Our values in Iran are the values of God
What sacrilege is this?!
God already created the most effective PKI verification system EVER. It's so simple and effective even a cave man could use it.
If someone says something is according to God's will, is done in His name, or is speaking on behalf of God: They Are Lying!
Unlike the other clueless commenters who revile this "slashvertizement", I recognize that this must be a form of stenographic encryption. Roblimo must have needed a way to send a secret message, or to permanantly store his PGP revocation key (I'm always losing that); Thus, this article was created to deliver the stenographically encoded payload in the text and/or video. You're not fooling me!.
Nice touch including the tags in the headline so you can easiliy retrieve the article later by searching "Management Encryption Key". Might want to be a little less obvious next time though.
does this mean you can sue yourself for not providing a bathroom break or lunch?
Well, that would be considered a frivolous lawsuit; However, as a self employed small business owner, there are times I'd like to strangle myself for want of a 15min break...

Why buy a new system, I ask??

> why spend money on your own API when someone will do the work for you?
Lock-in? It's not like the first few version of direct X were better than the current version of opengl.
OpenGL existed before DirectX. So, it's not like DirectX was ever actually needed anyway, other than for Vendor Lock-in.
