That's complete bullshit. Nvidia does indeed make their drivers very flexible, but it's trivial to force AMD's products into software mode (or black screen, blue screen of death/kernel panic, system freeze, trippy display noise, etc.) with totally valid state configuration.
I think this is more strategic. They want to replace the traditional app model with web sites or at least web-based SaaS applications.
The existing web technologies (html, js, css, etc) are awful for non trivial apps, so this nacl stuff lets you build real apps within the web SaaS model.
I don't get this "Google's software isn't really open because they control the direction it goes in" bullshit. I'm not sure if it's stupid people or paid Microsoft plants.
If they're paying for the development they get to choose what goes in the their codebase. They release the source under an open source license, so be happy and shut the fuck up or fork it and try to out do them (which we all know you will fail at).
How fucked up was the IT infrastructure that one douche bag running windows without a virus scanner managed to nuke a database and all the offsite backups?

We called that the "Whoopsie" on the Boeing 737 engineering team.
That was a fun problem to debug.

Google it you fuck up.
The drivers are NOT FINE, asshole.
Yeah and some poor bastards probably had to work 90 hour weeks to make the AMD GPU work enough to ship.
Oh really? I assume you've never had to write software for these electronic pintos
I doubt it.
An AMD GPU is unsafe at any speed (shitty drivers).
Back in my day we had Gopher and we liked it that way.
Damn kids, get off my lawn!

Fuck you.
There's no virtual machine executing the code here, just some vmish technologies compiling it.
So it's more like ActiveX!
Soylent Green is people.
This looks like Soylent Beige.

Must have been one hell of a virus.
Don't forget money.
You have some strong feelings about this device, would you like to talk about it?
Are you just saying that because you don't have one or perhaps Microsoft shill?
Whoooo! Swatching!
I read it as 34 million dollars. /fail
Bugatti Veyron > Crazy Achmed's Supercar
Also, rhino riding motor cycle with a lance.
Yeah... I'm thinking most rappers wouldn't be able to afford this car.
It makes the Bugatti Veyron look like a toyota.
Capitalislam
Honestly it looks more tasteful than I imagined.
I figured it would be shaped like a giant penis with death to america written on the windshield and really gaudy gems and gold chrome paint.
It's for the oil sheik who has everything.
Futurama never stated what robot beer was made out of...
Or a fine based on your company's annual revenue.
How would this affect your Essence rating?
I mean, as a magic user I'm conflicted. The spirits like tattoos but not so much cyberware, and this sounds like both.
