    Sure, but that (2 companies having similar names) is different than people saying "Apple" is too generic a name for a computer (or record) company would be.

    You are aware that Apple Records *defeated* Apple Computer in court over this issue due to the Apple IIgs having a high end professional audio mixing chip (the Ensoniq DOC2, forerunner to the DOC3 used by Gravis for their UltraSound), right?

    Never was. Never will be.

    But you still seem to have a problem with veracity and accuracy. Not surprising from someone that produces logical fallacy after logical fallacy instead of sound reasoning.

    You seem to not understand how a simulation works.

    When a simulated entity in your game dies, it doesnt magically become real.

    The whole matrix movie was using bad logic anyways. The only entities in it that could have been "real" were the ones that re-spawned.. the agents.

  17. Re:Help us AMD! You're our only hope! on Intel Launches Its First 10-Core Desktop CPU With Broadwell-E · · Score: 2

    The process advantage is substantial, it allows Intel to have significantly more transistors for the same power usage.

    ..except that process advantage not only ends this year, Intel is falling behind this year as TSMC opens ite doors to full production in its 10nm fab.

    This doesnt mean AMD gets that fab time (contracts with GloFlo may prevent it), but AMD isnt really Intels competitor. Only in imaginary simpleton land is a cpu design company like AMD a competitor to a semiconductor manufacturer like Intel.

    The competitors to Intel are TSMC, GloFlo, Samsung, and Toshiba/Sandisk, At this moment all of these have 14nm, 15nm, or 16nm fabs running, and dont believe the hype that these are not "true #nm" as Intel isnt doing "true 14nm" either. In fact, Intel was the company that invented lying about process node size and the term "Intel Nanometer" is now a thing in the industry (for reference, the "Intel nanometer" was 1.182 nanometres a few years back before their "14nm.")

    All of these companies will have 10nm fabs up and running before Intel does. While it wont be publicly saying its lost the lead until it absolutely has to, its actions will continue to be consistent with a company that has lost the lead such as the recent massive layoffs and the numerous recent press releases about some bullshit "cloud strategy."

    Use your eyes. Dont listen to what Intel is saying. Look at what Intel is doing. If you have any Intel stock, its time to sell it.

  18. Re:Denied? on John McAfee Denied Libertarian Party Nomination For President (reason.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    No, it is not the answer. Because no third party ever has any real chance of winning important elections. It is essentially impossible because of the way the system is designed.

    Tell that to the Democratic-Republicans, the Whigs, and the Federalists.

    Its always been a 2 party system, but it hasn't always been these two parties.

    The real collusion against it happening again is the requirement that a candidate get 15% in polling before being allowed in the presidential debates. Most polls dont include 3rd party candidates, therefore a third party candidate cannot get 15% in polls.

    In this case, they apparently took a subset of their results and compared it with radar measurements

    One of the claims is that they copied some of the radar measurements verbatim into the WISE results

    In this case the ad hominem comes after the criticism has already been discredited.

    Apparently in your world "discredited" means simply claim your are right and then follow it up with attack the opposition with an ad hominem.

    Discrediting the criticism requires more than hand waving you ignorant fuck.

  22. The WISE work has been compared to other data by a whole bunch of people

    One of the criticisms is that some of the data WISE used was copied from that "other" data that its being compared to.

    The defense of the data given that fact is quite circular.

    The peer review process doesnt defend against fraud, and it doesnt take a big conspiracy for one guy to lead an entire team astray with bullshit data.
