If your webcam driver relies on some undocumented quirk, and that changes, then the onus is on the webcam vendor to release a driver that follows better practices.
What if my webcam driver requires that the video be mpeg compressed?
I am literally amazed that you brought up webcams given that Microsoft literally just broke a million of them for windows 10 users several days ago
When it finally dawns on the last moron that Intel is asking way too much for their products, they will be in serious trouble.
You are making the mistake that I specifically tried to help you not make, by pointing out who Intels competitors really are.
Intel makes 80x86 CPU's.. yes... BUT THAT IS NOT THEIR CORE BUSINESS
Intel is a semiconductor manufacturer and is in more competition with names that you have never heard of than it is with AMD.
Intel isnt downsizing because their desktop and mobile x86/x64 chips arent selling well enough.... Intel is downsizing because TSMC has taken most of their business.
...and as you may be aware TSMC doesn't make any fucking x86/x64 chips even though AMD has certainly want them to for more than a few years now.
The reason high end desktop chips are so expensive isnt the demand for the chips, its the demand for the fab time. CPU's are only a small fraction of the silicon run off these fabs.
Given the massive layoffs and 2-year delay on 10nm...
Intel knows its in trouble. Their main two competitors (by semiconductor manufacturing market share) are TSMC and Samsung and both will have 10nm chips rolling out the door a year before Intel even begins testing its 10nm fab. Even Toshiba might beat them to 10nm.
Zen will be at process size parity with Intel and that will probably equate to similar performance, but this fact is of only minor consideration to Intel. AMD isn't even close to Intels primary competitor. AMD catching up is a symptom of a much bigger problem. This time next year Intel wont be #1 in the market any more...it will be TSMC.
You fell into a trap: you assume that things are going to improve at the same rate. For millions of years humans couldn't fly at all.
You fell into a trap. Humans have always been able to fly. It just took awhile to learn how.
The advancement of humanity is limited by knowledge. What you are implying is a decrease in the rate of knowledge accumulation when all evidence suggests that the rate is actually growing exponentially.
I don't think too many people are "Assuming" he is a good businessman
The thing is if you start 20 businesses and 17 of them go bankrupt, you are still doing ok as a businessman.
Most businesses have, regardless of who started them, failed. The majority of those failures occur within the very first year of operation. Thats what average looks like.
Businesses that are expanding typically do so on credit. A business running on credit needs to start showing a profit or there will eventually be a bankruptcy.
It is like saying that sitcoms are poisonous to friendships because it creates in people a expectation that all their friends should have great one-liners every 30 seconds or so, and people are getting depressed because there is no laugh track in real life to your own jokes.
My generation (and the ones before it) slams each other hard. One-liner after one-liner. When we act the same way to these pussies of the special snowflake generation we would be called racists, misogynists, homophobes, and so on.
Even just pointing this out gets us labeled racists, misogynists, homophobes, etc, because apparently we dont know how to act in a civilized society. We are apparently filled with hate.
No, what has happened is that the media has become so extremely politically correct that 'micro-aggression' is now a thing and that we have let the radical feminists decide what social norms are for the rest of us. The system is rigged against men being men. Its not hate my generation is exhibiting, its masculinity. Any hint of masculinity in our youth and we give them Adderall, Ritalin, Wellbutrin, and a slew of other drugs that suppresses us precisely at the age where we are supposed to be finding ourselves.
The young men of the special snowflake generation are a bunch of pussies, and its not their fault. Its the misguided war on masculinity that is at fault.
It's a trade off between security and supporting fairly old hardware.
You seem to think that drivers are only about hardware.
Fail.
There are many reasons to have drivers that run in ring 0 that dont manipulate hardware in ways that require ring 0. For instance a CD/DVD drive emulators, ram drives, virtual audio devices, and so on.
But lets not let your low information worthless opinion get derailed by fucking insight. The requirement that drivers that are signed by any limited set of third parties, even non-microsoft one, blocks free solutions. Daemon Tools used to free free CD/DVD emulation. Not since Vista/7 tho, because Microsoft began requiring that drivers be signed by a limited set of third parties so now there are only pay options for Daemon Tools.
This move makes it even more onerous, and thats a mighty big cock you are sucking.
Capitalists like the largest returns available at the time of deciding what to invest in.
The "speed" of the return is only of valid importance under the artificial restriction of not selling the appreciating asset before its fully matured.
For instance it takes over 10 years before the planting of pecan trees to the harvesting those pecans trees. It still makes financial sense to start pecan farms. The cost of starting such a farm is near the cost of the land, the value of a producing farm is much greater. The value of the developing but not producing yet farm goes up fairly linearly beyond a year or two in.
Everyone but the swirly eyed Trump supporters knows he can't beat Clinton.
They also said Bush Sr. couldn't beat Dukakis. The July polls were 37% for Bush vs 54% for Dukakis. The popular vote went 53% Bush 46% Dukakis. In terms of the electoral college it was a landslide, Bush getting 426 vs Dukakis 111.
What matters is not whether or not you are leading in July. What matters is whether or not your campaign arguments have legs. In the case of Dukakis, Bush kept hammering home that he is soft on crime. Dukakis had no defense. The arguments against him had legs and there was nothing he could do about it.
Hillary is in trouble. The corporate whore is both too big to prosecute and too corrupt to elect. She can't even play the feminism card due to her own actions.
Waiting for the perfect candidate is rather like waiting for the perfect spouse. Both are naive and overly romantic.
The only person to say anything about perfection is you. Apparently in your world there is only evil and perfect, and apparently you use this bizarre idea to justify your continued supporting of evil.
All candidates are going to have flaws
Not all candidates are above the law. Not all candidates and perfect examples of white privilege playing kip service to trendy topics. Not all candidates are sexists. Yet both Trump are Hillary are all of these things.
These are not just imperfect people. These are some of the worst kind of people. The list of character flaws for each of them is both long and scandalous. There you are tho, insisting that you will support one of them because nobody is perfect.

Because the state of the form might be littered with Ajax operations
Which is why the solution proposed literally begins with "save the state..."
...is it me or has the nerdity of anonymous posters gone way downhill?
1991 - the first webcam - operated until 2001
1994 - the first commercial webcam - Logitech's QuickCam
1996 - USB makes its debut
Judging by your user ID I guess you were alive in the 1990s, you just apparently werent aware in the 1990s.
Wouldnt a better solution be to save the state of the page you are backing off of, restoring it if the user then advances forward to it again?
Whats the point of the forward button if not to enable things like that?
If there's some minimum threshold of complexity, which is often tied to the meters, that reduces entropy.
Ding.
Limiting the space of possibilities reduces the entropy every time.

Beaten a CPU that is already out with one that isn't yet, using a benchmark of their choice.
I see you here purportedly caring about veracity...
The only area where they can hope to compete is price.

It was the quiet one of the family, Zathras.
He lived a sad life and died a sad death. He was pleased with the symmetry.
This. Paper ballots. Number 2 pencil. No chads.
Yes. You're technically correct.
Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
What is lacking is critical thinking
We've got all these women and minorities taking Gender Studies, recruited to protest the lack of women and minorities taking STEM subjects.
A critical thinking class would undermine many of the useless classes and ideas that are pushed.
This also doesnt factor in connection cost. Thats 20 cents per hour for people that somehow have internet costs counted on a different ledger.
Also what does "up to 80%" mean?
it means "some value less than, but definitely not greater than, 80%"
Capitalists like fast returns
Capitalists like the largest returns available at the time of deciding what to invest in.

Torrents are a protocol relating to efficient and distributed file transfer
Distributed yes. Efficient no. Its the opposite of efficient.
Where do you get "2000 pixels per mm" exactly?
Science. Any other questions?
And what the fuck do you think Donald Trump is, a modern day Ghandi?
I said nothing of the sort, but apparently in your black-and-white-world, if you dont support Hillary you must support Trump......
Trump is someone that will take the fight to Hillary. Its over for her.
So you now don't get any news or sports channels, how great.
Not getting FOX, MSNBC, ESPN, etc is a feature.
Everyone but the swirly eyed Trump supporters knows he can't beat Clinton.
They also said Bush Sr. couldn't beat Dukakis. The July polls were 37% for Bush vs 54% for Dukakis. The popular vote went 53% Bush 46% Dukakis. In terms of the electoral college it was a landslide, Bush getting 426 vs Dukakis 111.
