Anyone who has spent some time listing their alternatives within any sort of normal budget margin knows that there will be a lot of AMD chips under consideration and very few Intel chips under consideration.
Are you suggesting that there is no market for data caps?
Suppose I want to start an ISP with a "draconian" 5GB cap, but I only charge $5/month for that 5GB. This would be perfect for a fairly significant portion of the market that doesnt need or want to stream video.
how would they associate "picture of a flag" with the Start screen?
It has opened the start menu since windows 95.
So in almost 18 years you never figured this out, even though you claim to know gamers that have removed this key from their keyboard because it performs the action you are apparently unaware of.
I think the truth here is obvious. You are apparently complaining about bullshit right now. The interesting part hasnt been revealed yet, which is why you feel the need to complain about something... anything... even if its bullshit..
So, there's two different ways to do things depending on whether you're using a mouse or a touch gesture.
No, there are THREE ways to do things depending on whether you're using the mouse, a touch gesture, OR THE KEYBOARD.
See, now you just presented this as a two case scenario problem.. however, nobody heard you complaining when it was actually a real two case scenario that had two entirely different ways of doing things.
When you figure out why you were not complaining before, maybe you will realize that complaining now is at its core a reaction to things being different. That your problem is not with the methodology, that your problem is that its not the specific methodology you are already familiar with.
My advice to you is for you to start using the keyboard more often to navigate the operating system. At least when you do that, you wont just look like a tool with some sort of oedipal fixation for the mouse.
Seriously, how could it possibly be a good idea to let *anyone* print their own lethal weapon.
Lets try this exact same question in another form.
Why is it a good idea to prescribe medications that increase the risk of violent behavior?
You see, it is believed that it is better to help large numbers of people even when it is at the expense of small numbers of people. If you need this in geek speak... "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one."
The only real debate is where the line should be. Absolute stances such as yours pretend that there is no debate, and are born of emotion rather than reason.
An experienced coder just sees everything as unintelligible crap that only a moron would write.
Not so. Thats the inexperienced but proficient coder. The experienced coder realizes that all mature code is ugly, that all those wrinkles are there for a reason, that big projects cannot be a temple, that the alternatives to the code in front of them are probably just a different kind of ugly once just as many i's and t's have been dotted and crossed.
Just curious, but when has Microsoft refused top license something?
..or were you just talking out your ass there?
It seems to me that Microsoft is the opposite of Apple in the sense that instead of refusing the license their patents, they go overboard in the other direction and browbeat companies into licensing their patents.
But hey, why be accurate, right? No point being accurate.. being right and shit is for suckers.
A better observation is that when a good game has low FPS, its disappointing but the hardware will catch up making for a nice legacy that is talked about for years (will it play Crysis?)
Let me know what you can get a 32GB HDD for $20 or less.
The only HDD's on NewEgg that are less than $20 are refurbished (aka used) IDE drives.
But I do have good news for you, you can easily buy a 32GB drive on NewEgg for under $20, and they are in fact solid state. They are called USB Thumb Drives.
Indeed, mid-range (~$200 price-metric) video cards from 2 generations ago such as the 8800GT were drawing 105 watts under load. An equally performing (in a gaming context) card now draws ~65 watts and is under $100, with twice as much memory.
But with regards to raw computing prowess (DirectCompute/CUDA/OpenCL), these mobile GPU's completely spank that 8800GT I mentioned above pretty hard. Computationally they are significantly faster, but because they lack comparable memory bandwidth they simply cannot fall into the "good enough" category. This is the way things will stay because memory bandwidth is expensive, contradictory to what makes mobile GPU's successful in the market.
If it cost $.001 to send a email, I bet we'd see a lot less spam (I'd probably receive less updates I want too, or need to subscribe to a lot more RSS).
The problem is that a certificate is a fixed cost. Its only $0.001 per email if you send X emails. If you only send 0.001X emails, then its $2.00 per email.
So logic suggests that if this is a deterrent to email activity, then its more of a deterrent to non-spammers than it is to spammers.
I would definitely be classified as anti-union, but not because I do not believe in the right to collectively bargain, but because I believe that collective bargaining should be a choice rather than mandate.
These so-called "anti-union" types are for personal freedom, so why are you suggesting that they would be against the choice to not work for someone?
If your wife needed you to do that before she was able to understand it, then she's severely lacking in intelligence. Of course, your wife lacking intelligence works in your favor; she wouldn't have married you otherwise.

Energy efficiency consistently doubles approximately every 1.6 years, so if we are at ~16 glops/watt right now, then we will blow past DARPA's target early in 2016... just a little over 3 years from now.

Your argument is in error. Microsoft also discontinues services quite regularly.
The correct argument is that product solutions are superior to service solutions, and because Google doesnt offer very many product solutions (pretty much just Android), its hard to not get slammed by solution discontinuation when swimming in their pool. Product solutions, such as Exchange Server, continue to work no matter what Microsoft does to future versions of the product... just don't "upgrade."
The fatal flaw of service-based solutions is that you do not have the option to not upgrade, that you also do not have the option to continue to use the solution once the service has been discontinued.
This is why no sane business uses Google Docs. Its a "solution" that is guaranteed to only be temporary.
Maximizing ops/power is not the same as maximizing ops/energy. You would think that somebody that knows the difference between power and energy would also know the difference here.

yeah.. no harm at all.

Four modes when you include cmd and powershell.

You are right. Some people shouldnt write comments. Like people that so quickly change their tune.
I see lack of comments, lack of comments, and god damned polish notation.
