Clearly those taxes would have grabbed nearly 10% of the entire countries GDP, and without those taxes we obviously created the $1.3 trillion dollar deficit. You are sooooo right that there wouldn't be any deficit without those tax cuts.
I would expect to see something like a highly sensitive head tracker, as its the stepping-stone for what Abrash first signed onto ID software for, and then Valve for... Augmented Reality. You will note in his blog that he points out that the technology isnt really there yet for display purposes.. but everything else... that tech exists now, today, and Abrash has been researching exactly that at Valve.
People who are stupid or ignorant or ill-informed or just plain conned by slick salesmen DO NOT DESERVE TO BE RIPPED OFF.
You know whats stupid? The idea that you can prevent stupid people from doing stupid things by eliminating the stupid things instead of educating the stupid people.
Indeed. Most people think that the civil war was about slavery. It wasn't. It was about bolstering the power of the federal government over the States. Slavery was just the excuse for doing so.
..and now we are letting the federal government bolster its power over ISP's, and Net Neutrality is just the excuse for doing so. Oh, you wanted to provide an inexpensive nationwide wireless email-only service? Observe slashdot cheering on the banning of such practices. Barriers to entry are being erected under this neutrality guise.
Don't voice calls get a much higher QoS priority than data already? That seems like the solution just like in someone's house that does a lot of downloading, just lower the priority of that traffic in the router and everything else should work just fine.
Prioritize one thing, De-prioritize another...that is exactly what these net neutrality zealots are trying to prevent from being legal.
The reason you think I'm "moving the goalpost" is because...
...you are moving the goal post.
The hate is yours. Need proof? Read the subject line of these posts. "Casual user here".. thats the premise. '
You waived your hand and dismissed the problem as something that can be overcome in "a few hours" and have since moved the goalpost the the point where you now demand that casual users go fuck themselves, that linux is only for serious nerds.
Ah yes, the old "it failed so it couldn't have been communism" argument.
Are you really suggesting that the two examples of successful communism that I listed arent even example of communism, that there are in fact zero examples of successful communism? Amazing that you put such faith in something that has never ever succeeded.
if you wanted a plant, you shouldn't be playing in the garden. the best advice a gardener could give you is to get out and go to the corner shop.
It was you that declared that going to the gardener was the way to get plants, and that the gardener should rightfully educate you on how to plant and grow seeds.
whether you like it or not, my "philosophy" is truth. skilled hackers aren't working on making installing software or linux in general "easy" for the simple reason that it's already easy for them. your ideal world where anyone who writes oss cares about your grandma is a fallacy.
No, your philosophy is apparently moving the goalpost. First you suggest that it would take grandma only a few hours to learn how to configure linux, and compile applications. Then you suggested that this was the right approach because gardener blah blah. Now you suggest "fuck grandma."
The reason that you keep having to move the goalpost is because your philosophy is not based in logic. Its based in ignorant knee-jerk concepts that dont jive once someone actually thinks about them.
What dirt could possibly be so bad and so extensive that it literally forces the hand of every country in the E.U. with regards to SWIFT? Even the E.U. countries that initially were in opposition backed down (such as Germany.)
If we accept your theory as true, that the U.S. has some major dirt on all the E.U. governments, then maybe you shouldn't be trying to make the U.S. out to be the bad guy. Sins so bad that the E.U. could be blackmailed into giving up the banking data of 500 million people doesn't sound like little white lies to me. It sounds like very serious evil-type shit
If you wanted to garden and an experienced gardener suggested you learn how to plant seeds, till the earth, and whatnot, would you call him an ignorant twit?
Making up bullshit analogies doesnt save the argument.
The correct analogy is "If you wanted a plant, and an experienced gardener suggested you learn how to plant seeds..." I would most definitely call that person an ignorant twit.
Grandma wants to run software, Grandma does not want to compile programs. Your philosophy is ignorance.
Gaining a working understanding the linux filesystem, paths, editing config files, and basic use of make would take the average person only a few hours of study.
Myopic bullshit. The average person cannot gain a basic understanding of those things in only a few hours, let alone the preposterous notion that they should.
Seriously.. your grandmother should study, and after only a few hours is going to be happily compiling programs as easily as she downloads and installs windows or os/x programs?
I got news for you. The average person is nowhere near you in computer knowledge, nor do they have any desire at all to progress in your direction. Stop being an ignorant myopic twit.
The successful examples of communism have been reduced, through attrition, to North Korea and Cuba.
It apparently doesnt require pejoratives to make communism look bad. The big question is not why communism is taken as a pejorative term, but how long before the people in North Korea and Cuba wise the hell up and move in the direction that Russia, China, Vietnam, and Laos have.
Are you proposing that the government stop picking the winners and losers?
Sorry. Thats not how progressives want it to be. Half of this country are Democrat and therefor support government interference, and the other half are Republican and therefor support government interference. The fact that the interference we get in either case is not the kind that we voted them in for is irrelevant to out ignorant rants against "free market" by the former, or against "socialism" by the later.
We have the worlds highest corporate tax rates until tax breaks and subsidies are factored in. What this means is that only the industries chosen by congress to receive those tax breaks and subsidies can effectively compete in the global market. Thats the way congress wants it and they will never, ever, give up that power.
To add to this, the Sandy Bridge has an L1 latency of 4 or 5 cycles (depending on access mode), the L2's latency is 12 cycles, and the L3's latency is 46 cycles plus the response time of the memory chips (typically between 60ns to 70ns)
These chips make up for the high latencies by having many instructions being executed simultaneously, so if one dependency chain completely stalls out on a cache miss any other dependency chains can still fill up the execution units keeping the processor just as busy as if there were no stall at all until everything left in the pipeline is dependent on the result of the stalled out operation.
The Samsung that makes phones and the Samsung that makes components are not the same company, though they are both part of the Samsung conglomerate.
They could start using the worst parts instead of the best parts while still living up to their contractual obligations with Apple, as well as increasing the profit margins of their interactions with Apple, as well as stick it to Apple long term without hurting themselves.
By that logic, the taxes collected from people in the sticks shouldn't be used for those on welfare in the urban areas, right?
I fully agree. Poverty is a local problem so should have a local solution. Why should any area of the country get away with mismanagement at the expense of the rest of the country?
Short-sighted and hypocritical. Well done.
This is the problem with your generation. First you ask if something is true, and before you even get an answer, you decide that it IS true regardless of the answer. Your generation doesnt care about the truth. You make up blatant vitriolic horseshit and act as if it makes you smart. It doesn't. It proves that school failed you.
And that is why the US is destined to fall behind. Selfish pricks think even a dollar to help the nation is too much.
The people that want all of the advantages of living out in the sticks whole accepting none of the downsides, by forcing everyone to pay to eliminate those downsides, are the selfish pricks.

But why do I keep having to remove line cards from an MLX-16 or PCIe cards...
That things is completely ridiculous.
If you have to build a custom case because your cooler is a giant turbine, you might as well go with immersion as so many others have in the past.

What the hell are you talking about?
Nothing you said was specific to stupid people doing stupid things. Given that fact, my guess is that you are stupid too.

Sounds like a shitty world. Why does society need to better itself at anyone elses expense?
It doesn't. Your "us" vs "them" philosophy is based on the ignorant idea that there must be a loser.

The reality is, selling it at a loss is better than having unsold inventory you'll never sell anyway.
Even better is not over-producing to begin with.
Looks to me like they under-estimated recent demand.
Anti-competitive behavior is perfectly legal, abusing monopoly powers isn't
You seem to have the opposite grasp of anti-trust laws than is reality.
Every time Intel vs AMD comes up, some complete dope claims that Intel boards are cheaper.
Thanks for keeping the tradition of dopes alive.

You think Greece followed the U.S model? The country where 1 out of 20 people pay any taxes at all? Really?
Greece is the epitome of a welfare state. The end result of continually increasing services for people that do not pay for them.
And that is why the US is destined to fall behind. Selfish pricks think even a dollar to help the nation is too much.
The people that want all of the advantages of living out in the sticks whole accepting none of the downsides, by forcing everyone to pay to eliminate those downsides, are the selfish pricks.
Nice try.
