So you were a OS X dev for years until recently yet you think that "Driver lever changes" can bring OS X's power management to Windows? You don't even know what Grand Central Dispatch is but you were an OS X Dev? Serious credibility problems there. You're a troll. Ta, ta
Read the article that I linked. Grand Central Dispatch & other optimisations that Apple has brought to OS X are what makes the difference in Battery life. It goes far beyond mere driver optimisation. The entire GUI stack has changed & you cannot bring equivalent optimisations to other OSs by "optimising the drivers".
The level of ignorance ("it's a driver optimisation problem) & bias ("thats why I've abandoned Apple") you display are unfortunately all too common.
Really... So that middle word in UAE is some completely different word that is just spelled the same. Of course it's everybody else that is ignorant & you are here to teach everyone else that Arab doesn't mean Arab.
As for your brilliant conclusion that I'm an ignorant American, eh bien non mais mes potes Moroccains, Tunisians et Algerians vont trouver cela hilarant.
Nope: It only becomes pejorative when the actions of the people it is used to describe are in the majority condemnable - a point that repeatedly flies way over your narrowly focused head.
My initial exposure to the term was long ago and in the context of people like Ghandi & MLK & Mandela. All admirable SJWs.
It's when it's been used since to describe zealots like you who equate any resistance to your methods with being the worst kind of racist/sexist/...ist that it becomes pejorative.
Apple has been optimising OS X for years, but not for Graphics Performance. They've been optimising it for longer battery duration.
It's been years since I've needed or even noticed needing better graphics performance yet battery performance of OS X pure versus Windows? Oh yeah, THAT I notice. On the occasions I forget a charger I have to minimise running Windows or I'll be running out of battery at least twice as fast as when using OS X. I can get work 7 Hours using just the battery on my rMBP with occasional excursions to Windows to check mail but or use corporate windows only tools but running windows will only give me 3 hours. Windows isn't even doing much, it just does it all the time & never lets the CPU sleep for any significant time - see here for reasons why.
Yeah, the pure graphics performance may be poorer on OS X. Most people don't care as long as it's good enough.
UAE: United Arab Emirates USA: United States of America
Calling it an Arab mission when the word Arab is in the name of the country that is financing it is neither more nor less precise or racist than calling the Apollo the American moon program -- which is often is.
Is the UAE the only Arabic country? No, but then neither are the citizens of the USA the only Americans.
It's not a rover, it's an orbiter. The only thing that need to be deployed are the three solar panels & that will be in Earth orbit - the spectrometers & an imager do not need to be deployed.
My question is how they will be communicating with it. Does the UAE have the capability to do so alone or will they be relying on NASA's DSN?
Both have essential functions in modern society but that is no reason to spread simplifications to the point they become falsehoods. Saying that the left gives & the right takes away is a lie. The left takes from everyone & distributes the majority to their electorate & the right pushes to grow the economy by limiting taxes & governmental controls.
I don't need to imagine what would happen were the left to dominate overmuch, I currently live in France where both US major parties are seen as right wing. Your dream of cutting off one of the necessary hands is our reality. The resulting high taxes & governmental mismanagement are destroying the economy. What should be the most dynamic part of the economy (those under 30) are unemployed: 25% and growing, year by socialist year. When the number one objective of children in France is to become a civil servant and the objective of the more dynamic has become to emigrate the dynamic is self-fufilling and downward.
So please stop spreading your over-simplified bullshit, "cutting off one hand" does not lead to a better society and the left's redistribution of wealth has costs & needs to be controlled.
What is "the supported lifetime of that device" supposed to mean, in particular as regards to VMs? Being forced to buy a new windows version very two-three years?
Venezuela isn't communist, but then you'd have to pay attention in school or read more than is typical in the US to understand the difference between communism & socialism.
I've seen your style of posting/trolling too: Blame the other side for all the problems, attempt to place anyone who objects in the most extreme opposition then say something to attempt to appear moderate. In your case that appears to be blaming the right for everything, then calling me an Okie & then calling for pragmatism.
Back to the heart of the discussion: Claiming that the left is the only side that gives & the right only takes away is even dumber than claiming that Oklahoma politics is "neotrotkyist neocon". Do you want to climb down from that now?
I don't see your proposal gaining enough support to become standard. You seem to think that DNS names being exposed in TLS negotiation was an accident. It wasn't, it was compromise. There are legitimate reasons for some people being able to selectively block web traffic and your proposal would make things worse, not better. For example, there are laws in many countries that prohibit grade-school children from using the school's Internet to surf porn (though we all realise that they can do so on their home Internet/phone).
Were the certificates being exchanged to become opaque those who want/need to block will do so using other means like IP blocks/reverse DNS lookups.
Funny how the left hand has been doing little more than taking (increasing taxes) isn't it? Besides which, you need to ask yourself where the left hand's largesse is coming from. It isn't from their own pockets, that's for sure.
Never actually met any of the Chinese aiming to supplant the USA, have you? Many in Africa who used to think like you have changed their tune now that they have...
It isn't necessary to decrypt TLS to block third party advertising networks like Google as the DNS names the certificates protect are passed in the clear during TLS negotiation.
ISP level blocking like this is a very bad idea and if it becomes widespread expect to see many of the ad supported free sites on the internet disappear & much of what's left end up behind paywalls. I use all of the relevant tools to block ads in general but whitelist the sites I want to support. That'd be nigh impossible for ISP level blocks.
I speak from some experience as I deploy firewalls & proxies that perform such blocks in corporate environments & my ISP is Free.fr.

And again: "The reason why the term SJW is becoming pejorative is precisely due to reactions like yours from people who see no common ground". It is because SJW is being used to describe your zealotry and over-reactions that a descriptive acronym is becoming pejorative & not the other way around.
No. None of the words that compose SJW are pejorative. It is a descriptive acronym for people who see the world in absolutes & refuse criticism of their platform, though SJZ (Social Justice Zealot) is sometimes more apt. Equating condemnation of your insults with being pro sexism/racism/... just shows how much of a zealot you are.
Buddyboy (& others like him so convinced that their actions are justifiable "for the good cause") is incapable of discerning the difference between descriptive and pejorative. Arnaud Amory would be proud.
Way to display your bias there buddy. People are pointing out that the incessant harping on "this is sexist", "that is sexist", "everything is sexist" being counter-productive and your knee jerk reaction is to call people using a non-derogatory term (SJW), "Douchebags".

Snort, Selective memory? At the same points in time Windows is/was also a "huge piled-on mess".
To your Classical MacOS I reply Windows Me.
To your preemptive Windows NT I reply A/UX.
Need I compare OS X & Vista? Windows 8?
There are/were piled on messes on both sides.

I was the first poster in this thread & you seem to have overlooked an essential part of it: Virtualisation.
The lifetime of a VM is not limited by the motherboard, so what the hell is "the supported lifetime of that device" supposed to mean?
Typical. A leftie cannot even assume responsibility for his own actions when it is shown to be bunk & has to blame someone else.
Sorry, been burned too often by Microsoft's guarantees that they go back on.
A VM has no upper limit on lifespan so why use "the supported lifetime of that device" unless they are planning on obsolescence.
What is "the supported lifetime of that device" supposed to mean, in particular as regards to VMs? Being forced to buy a new windows version very two-three years?

Call me when entitlements stop taking an ever larger part of everyone's paycheck Chavista.
