Now you have to convince users why they need windows when VMware can run your x86 apps and present the display to any OS. This is the death of MS in the corporate market.
OK, but now you also have to explain to the same users why they need to buy a faster computer to get the same performance they used to.
Not a single home user needs 64 bit.
Oh please, tell us more about what we need and don't need.
Sloppy CAD systems need it but that is because the users are stupid
Yes, unbridled arrogance is a wonderful way to draw people your side.
So you've never used a recent version of Windows and yet you can state with certainty that people only use it because they're lazy, not because Windows is actually pretty good these days.
They liked the Corvette, Cadillac, and Dodge Challenger they had when they went to the Bonneville salt flats. They just said they could have been put together better.
The even liked the Mustang a few years back. They said it was awful on the track of course, but it had that "X factor" that they love about cars.
Jesus Christ you're stupid. By your standard the Earth is an uninhabitable planet because it's full of radioactive materials that last OMG billions of years. Do you know what a half life is?
Instead of proving me "completely wrong", you proved me completely right. Thanks.
If by "completely right" you mean "a complete idiot", then yeah.
Then of 40 Mark I reactors over 40 years only 6 have partially melted down! If we project that out to a century, there will only be a 37.5% failure rate for this design.
Protip: "Meltdown" doesn't mean "killed everyone in a 50-mile radius and rendered the area uninhabitable for a thousand years."
It's not "his personal problem" with open source. It's A LOT of people's problem with open source. Plus, anytime someone actually dares to say some interface is, shall we say, less than optimal, someone like you comes out of the woodwork to say "don't you dare tell me what to spend my time on! If you want it fixed, why don't you lead the effort to fix it yourself!"
Therein lies the problem. You want desperately for Linux to succeed, but you don't want to actually spend the time and effort working on the things that ordinary users care about.
When those in power break that law, as they have done routinely since Lincoln, it is the DUTY of all citizens and service members to disobey their orders.
Yes, but it isn't their DUTY to break the law themselves in order to find out that those in power have broken the law.
no, there is a third type C: George R. R. Martin style. Which is less of a fantasy novel and more of a political medievel story set in a fantasy-like universe... that will never be finished.
Sorry, the ending of the movie was better than the comic. When I got to the alien squid part in the comic, I said, "Wait, what?" and leafed back through it to see if I had missed something. I hadn't.
Having said that, I didn't think either the movie or the comic was all that great.

Actually, Nixon's proposal was better than what we got. That damned dirty socialist!
Why waste time with individual consumers who are fickle, stupid, and above all, cheap, and are going to copy everything on BitTorrent anyway?
Because those are all consumers.

And Clarkson got rid of the GT a long time ago.
Tada. Both last for billions of years!

The fuel itself is dangerous, and remains dangerous for billions of years.
Where did you pull this particular bit of baloney from?
Assuming you live in the USA you have plenty of place in your desserts to build a thermal solar plant.
Yes, our pies are always sunny.

The science on both sides to this point is so bad its not really worth considering
Stopped reading here.
You *could* just put your damn seatbelt on.
Immaterial. The x86 is a lousy architecture and adding onto it hasn't helped any.
Except for letting it become the most successful ISA in history.
I challenge you to show me a single thing Intel can do better now than Inmos could do then.
Dominate the market?
I get the impression they have never even tried to understand where he is coming from
No, we know where he's coming from. The trouble is that location is not reachable by any means known to normal people.
(who still remembers manually allocating memory in C?)
Waddya mean "still remembers"? >:(

- No endless updates. If you have the console, the game just works.
How cute. :)
It's about a company that thinks in terms of total control, not competition.
You mean... every company?
Was Marc Hamill really that much better as the centre role? Is Jar Jar really that much more annoying than C3PO?
Yes and hell yes.
Next.

Yes, but it isn't their DUTY to break the law themselves in order to find out that those in power have broken the law.
Linux is as easy to use as Windows
By what metric?
no, there is a third type C: George R. R. Martin style. Which is less of a fantasy novel and more of a political medievel story set in a fantasy-like universe ... that will never be finished.
Rebooting is bad. It booted the first time, Why would it not boot the second?
They're so cute when they're young. :3

The trouble is I'd get more utility out of the pizza than I would out of the smartphone.
It was clear you could work happy or you could leave- your choice.
Happiness is mandatory. Are you happy, citizen?
