Oh fuck off already. This is an international message board. Not everyone is a native speaker, and typos do occur. Your answer just shows the rest of the world that you are incapable of adding constructively to a conversation and focus on tiny little unimportant shit. Is your life truly that empty?
Don't get the browser thing either, but you got me to thinking. There may be something to the DirectX incompatibility,
I see little difference in GPU's over the last few years, but prior to that it seemed like new hardware got hugely better every few months. My two year old R9 270x is fully compatible with DirectX12, but my previous GPU would not of been. So maybe it's more of a hardware issue than OS issue.
I know, I'm not a tech and I have no idea what I'm really talking about.....so thanks for a polite response to an aging hippy truckdriver who loves technology......(:
"People have been talking into phones and speakers long before the internet. "
True, but they didn't walk around in public apparently talking to themselves until the advent of the cellular phone.
Now, it is not uncommon to hear something that appears to be a conversation between two people that turns out to be two people talking on their phones and oblivious that they sound like they're talking to each other, especially at the grocers where they both may be talking about milk, eggs or some other foodstuff they are standing near.
So yeah, the borderline crazies no longer talk to themselves, it's become pointless for getting attention. The real crazies never did talk out loud, the voices in their heads were far too paranoid about getting caught!
Interestingly enough, MS doesn't deny that it uses Googles 'signal' sometimes and even Google puts it at around 9% tops, and it took nearly two weeks for similar results to resembling Googles honeypot to show up on Bing. If it was as nefarious as Google tried to make it I would think it would happen faster. They do deny wholesale scraping (I use both frequently, as they do tend to be quite different for the most part, and occasionally one or the other picks up something totally unique.) and even Google doesn't accuse them of that. I wonder how many other search engines do a similar thing under the radar? The only real beef seems to be whether it's ethical to do so. Considering this comes from two companies who's ethics are at best suspect, I don't see that it matters much.
As the author of both articles says :
"If I could go back and change only one thing in my original story, Iâ€(TM)d have made the headline â€oeGoogle: Bing Is Cheating, Copying SOME Of Our Search Results.†I explained at length in the article itself that most of Bingâ€(TM)s results were unique. But the headline was taken by some to mean that Bing copied all of Googleâ€(TM)s results."
"It is however a smart move by Microsoft to artificially refuse to backport DirectX to previous versions."
Would an older system even run the newer DirectX? I thought the underlying system architecture had changed enough that it simply couldn't be backported, especially after Win8?
(I am aware that DirectX 11.1 was partially backported to Win7 but not 11.2)
You have added so much to this conversation. You are soooo meta. I suspect your IQ to be in the upper 40s, maybe. Now go away so the adults can have a discussion on the pros and cons of the new GUI.
Go back to griefing noob WOW players and doing the 'doubleclick while you hold your dick" mambo as you obviously haven't the intelligence to hold an actual conversation.
Now this AC has been fun. Considering the amount of FUD he is spreading, enough to fertilize Texas, I would put his mental age at, oh, about 13.
No balls, no brains. He only hates on that which is popular because it makes him so meta. I bet he doesn't watch TV either, and only rides a bike, even in 10ft of snow....
Get out of your basement child, there is a whole wide world out there.....and girls! Real live ones that don't require flash to see! It's not 1996 anymore!
Yep, I have frequently used the line "Obama is the best Republican President we have had in a long time."
I never understood the hatred. He continued nearly every conservative law, continued most Republican tax policies, enacted a conservative health care plan that had been defeated before, he seems to be the perfect Republican.
I am surprised and pleased to see Bernie making such a splash, my dream election: Donald Trump/Bernie Sanders. I might even begin to believe in God........
No flip flopping and I love that he calls himself a Democratic Socialist. Heads exploding everywhere. This may be a very entertaining election.
So why aren't you birthers all over fucking Cruz? If this is truly important to you, and you truly believe what you are saying. Why does Ted Cruz get a pass?
Actually, you are incorrect. The parts flying backwards to the direction of travel will lose a little Delta-V while the parts blowing out sideways will experience a slight change in orbital direction. The entire mass would still fly right by Pluto right on schedule. Track that orbit 500 years into the future and they will disperse, but still will be following a path very close to the original orbit.
So not obviously.
Orbital mechanics is very non-intuitive. And all science fiction movies get it wrong, even Europa report, which did a damn sight better at getting the science right than Gravity or Interstellar did.
Nothing in space follows a strait line, it is all orbits, and all orbits are curved.

If you want to demonstrate it to yourself grab a copy of KSP,* send a probe to an outer planet, blow it up,** and then watch where the parts go. It is absolutely mind blowing how nothing in space works the way it 'obviously' should.

**Planned disassembly sending parts in all directions so as not to destroy any, it is a game after all, and exploding pieces just vanish. We call them Kessler bombs, even though Kessler syndrome cannot be simulated due to computational limitations, it's fun to pollute an orbit and damned hard to actually hit anything if you fly through it.
" powered by a 4-cylinder 700-horsepower bi-fuel internal combustion engine that is capable of using either gasoline or compressed natural gas as fuel."
Runs on natural gas too!
God, I could barely type that through laughing at the thought of huge ass nat-gas tank strapped to the fucking thing. Yeah, that's going to be a huge selling point.
I wanna see this amazing engine. Damned hard to squeeze 700 ponies out of a 4 cylinder mill and make it reliable. High horsepower small displacement engines tend to go to hot rod heaven sooner than their larger cousins.
"However most of those classic collector's models don't get driven on the road, the majority of the pre-OBDII cars out there actually being driven are almost worthless beaters."
Yeah, there are those two extremes, beaters and garage queens.
There is also a middle ground of pre-OBD II classics that get driven nearly daily in the summer. A trailer queen might be good for bragging rights, but a driven classic, hot rod, custom has a rather nice side effect.

Hadn't thought of it that way.
Comes down to a simple R.O.I. then doesn't it?
No money to be made.
Sigh, same story with everything isn't it?

Thank you for that link, that was interesting, as was the companion article. (I had not heard of this before so it was a fascinating read)

Don't the Telecommunication companies all use banks though? At the bottom of the layer cake, wouldn't it still be using a bank?

So why aren't you birthers all over fucking Cruz? If this is truly important to you, and you truly believe what you are saying. Why does Ted Cruz get a pass?
"What's ATF?"
The greatest potential convenience store name on the planet?
My poor children, who as adults are 6'4" and 6'7", Grew up in the backseat of a 450hp Camaro, and grew up to be major gearheads.
Now that they're grown and on their own, I moved on to a Corvette.
Fun cars are the best, but I'm probably an abusive parent by some peoples standards....meh.
Indeed! Up here in Liberal Washington State, guns are easily obtained at Walmarts or specialty shops, we have open carry of handguns, and legal weed.
People totally do not understand the meaning of liberal!
I don't what fees or documents are required as I have never felt the need to own one. I don't believe they are onerous however.

Don't get out much do ya?
Ted Kennedy died in 2009. Try again.
Do I mod this Funny, Insightful, or Troll?
They all seem to fit so well...
Well done, you win the internet today.
It is very good, however it does lack a few things.
No reason to upgrade power sources as they last forever. Just keep adding more.
No natural disasters, or riots.
But overall, it is very well done.
Had SC5 been good, they would not be enjoying the popularity they currently have.
But didn't you notice?

It gets you laid.
Same with Washington State. No inspection stickers, just an emissions test on vehicles newer than 25 years.
Older than that and it's rip out all the shit and aftermarket speed equipment all the way down.....
