  1. most of the traffic these days is encrypted, how does it matter? I would connect to network called - "we_h4x0r_ya", since my traffic can't be man in the middle anyway using SSL certs. So point of experiment is?

    And there is a very good chance it(DX12) won't become one. Vulkan can do pretty much same thing, but also works on Mac, Linux, Android, Iphone, and PS4 and others. It will be released very soon and some big players are already developing engines on it or said will do it as soon as it's released.(any week now it will be released) A few years ago people were sceptical about Linux gaming, now I play Grid Autosport on Steam Controller, and ALL OF THAT is native. And oh boy I like steam controller, and I am a PC gamer! No words can explain how sceptical I was at start.

    If it was OK to begin with - no point to listen to them. They are happy already. So you need to concentrate on unhappy lot. If I can suggest improvement without making other unhappy - it should just be implemented, if appropriate.(technically sound, secure, performant, etc)

    niche. Smallest unit of a habitat that is occupied by an organism. A habitat niche is the physical space occupied by the organism; an ecological niche is the role the organism plays in the community of organisms found in the habitat. Nothing to do with word smart whatsoever. Used was used metaphorically. I agreed I said something wrong, but I apparently I didn't. You don't know what you were talking about. Over and out. Don't bother answering, as you are attacking my words and not my idea, where idea is clearly given.

    I wont come on offensive here. I have already explained how over half of population of US vote twice for Bush. Absence of intelligence to make proper comparison of products obviously is not helping. Geeks created Apple empire, and they will kill it. No one believed me that windows will go into decline. It does now. Mark my words, fanboys will wake up. Most fanboys are not necessary stupid people. Just stubborn ones.

    I am no native English speaker, but you got the point. Something so successful in business can't be optimal for consumer. It means basically one thing, that if there is analogue for this product, and there is, they are overcharging.

  17. Well... on Ask Slashdot: GPU of Choice For OpenCL On Linux? · · Score: 1

    Don't know about pure OpenCL. But... Intel, has over all well support and not too bad compared to windows counterpart drivers. It lacks OpenGL 4 features. It only uses OpenGL3. AMD has open source drivers, which mostly suck. Performance in games is rather bad. Same as synthetic tests. Many people report about rather good bitcoin performance. Proprietary drivers are a bit better on performance but worse on stability. Nvidia, has 2 types of drivers. Reverse engineered ones, which suck and blow when it comes to performance and binary ones. Nvidia with binary drivers has highest performance + stability in games. It's on pair with AMD on bitcoin stuff. In reality no one can say what is good for OpenCL in Linux, because there are no OpenCL apps in Linux. I am no Nvidia fanboy, but i am Nvidia user for a while. They are safest bet on quality/performance, but AMD may as well worth your while, especially if you are dev and don't mind reporting issue to kernel devs, etc.

  18. Linux Roccat mice on Ask Slashdot: Where Can You Get a Good 3-Button Mouse Today? · · Score: 1

    If your beef with mice is phisical discomfort clicking mice - get a roccat mouse. It has utility to rebind buttons. Use side buttons, rebind them as middle button, and your physical discomfort is gone.

  19. Fat Cat on Could Tizen Be the Next Android? · · Score: 1

    Needs fat trimming. If Samsung could pull off Tizen as Android alternative, I'd clap my hands. Competition on dominated market is always good. Even if market consists of open source projects. God damn! This sounds so cool! Open Source project competition! :)

    Modularity, stability, documentation(when all fails, source code is documentation on it's own), ease of configuration. All of those one way or another lead to OSS OS. So *n*x. And, it's probably going to be Linux at the end of the day, could also be Android, as a flavour.

    If you believe in god and that he created aids to punish gay people - it's God's word in actions, that he much less hates gay people. And when AIDS is curable - it will mean, that gay people are OK. Same as sexually active ones. ESPECIALLY cheating husbands and wifes.
