Oh bullshit. DNA Testing has made it possible to expose plants to radiation & winnow out the unwanted mutations. It's much less efficient than cutting & splicing but how exactly do you think Nature has come up with the current genetic codes?
Not all people refuse having someone shove a dick up their ass & clearly you enjoy having the socialist dick up your ass (so in your case it isn't rape).
The subject is governmental abuse which is a lot harder to escape than is google, facebook or youtube, some people take the position that we should bend over & enjoy it. That may be to your particular taste but not mine, nor the mods.
Oh, because a led light uses a central heatsink for LEDs (where the heat sink needs to be on the inside because it'd block the LEDs otherwise), it's not innovative for apple to break with the rectangular form of every other desktop computer & design the MP around the heatsink and fan.
I suppose this is prior art too then. Because, of course you can build things out of it and naaaturally that makes anything using a similar form, whatever the use, non-innovative. You're a rube. A twit. A troll who wouldn't recognize innovative design if he was being guillotined ("No innovation there, same deal as an executioners aCHUNK...").
Heavily involved in semiconductor based industries with thermal issues? Suure you are: Ladling soup in the kitchen (gotta keep it hot).
You say "yeah but were positions reversed, the USA would react the same way"
I said that they could, not that they would.
Your first post was an apology for the chinese ban "because they're upset". Thus you clearly imply the US would ban "because they're upset". Your game of playing could and would is akin to my implying that because you could go out and rape a child, you would do so.
giving as proof your ignorance of any games where the USG is attacked. I point out that there ARE games where the USG is attacked
There are no such games made in the USA, would you really compare BF4 to a homegrown game made in Iran by some Iranian kid who changed some texture of Quake?
Have any games been banned for anti-USG content? No. Have games had controversial political content in the US? Yes. Were they banned? Again no. Does a game have to be highly marketed to be banned? No. Is saying that it needs to be marketed a means for moving the goalposts by pepppz? That's the only logical justification.
& yet the USG has never banned them
What they would do if such a game was successful and mass-marketed as Battlefield 4 is, remains to be seen.
Bull. Sexual content, sure, we all know that sex is the untouchable third wire in gaming, but never for political content. "Think of the Children" is the only justification that could work in the US.
proving you & your conspiracy theory wrong.
What conspiracy?
see above
You can go on any tangents you like but your premise that China is justified in banning a game
You mean the premise where I said that censorship is unacceptable?
No, the part where you were implying that the USG would ban for the same reasons the chinese did.
because we would too is still wrong.
They're not justified. I pointed out that they banned the game because the game content was offensive for them, which I can understand, but being my culture different from China's, I can not justify.
So do you still have those uncontrollable urges to rape a child or do you now realize that merely implying something distasteful when it is false is also distasteful?
You clearly haven't thought your position through. China has outlawed the game because they feel threatened by a game where the player attacks the Chinese government. You say "yeah but were positions reversed, the USA would react the same way" giving as proof your ignorance of any games where the USG is attacked. I point out that there ARE games where the USG is attacked & yet the USG has never banned them proving you & your conspiracy theory wrong.

Not at all what you were saying earlier, but whatever. For anyone in the position of needing real workstation power, the Mac Pro is neither overpriced nor under PSUed nor only to be considered "if you have no other choice" (which is the bigoted comment that I came in on).
Will I buy one? No, my Mac Mini is enough CPU/GPU for my needs but I do lust for one.
Macdo, as they are colloquially called here in France is doing quite well here. It is the biggest purchaser of french beef, all of which is consumed locally. For all the Egghead Intellectuals that complain about fast food while sponging off governmental programs, there is rest of France that tries to work for a living, and yes, goes to Macdo occasionally.
Some people visibly like having having a dick up their ass and will use any means to do so like conflating refusing an unjust tax with the refusal of the members of the EEC to harmonise their tax codes so that they could eliminate/control the double Irish. It isn't anarchy to denounce this manoeuvre by French socialists to finance their buddies by taxing everyone on the Internet. For the amount of money I already pay for my blank DVD, Internet access, Hard drives, USB keys, etc, I as a french citizen have received precisely nothing.
Also it's muuuuch better to create a new administration to manage the money as the management positions are a handy hideaway for politicians that have been voted out of office. We wouldn't want any politicians going unemployed, no, no, no. French politicians prefer that the rest of the economy be weighed down by these blood sucking vermin & now that the pool of french donors is insufficient for their increasing appetite, they are looking to the internet for new hosts...
If by noteworthy you mean increasingly expensive taxes levied upon more and more products (First just blank CDs, then just consumer disks, then all disks & now anything that "could" store any copyrighted material), financing the french audiovisual industries that are used by fewer & fewer people, then yes, it's noteworthy. In more common terms, for people who are tired of paying theses taxes just so a tiny well off minority can continue to buy villas in the south, it would be "it sucks".
It's not that, though. It's that the game allows players to (gasp) imagine attacking China.
Is there any US game where I can (gasp) bomb NY, invade Washington DC, help set up Communism or Sharia in the country? I'm not saying that censorship is acceptable, but I can understand why they're upset.
In The USA there is no means for interdicting any such games and many for making sure it cannot be legally interdicted. IIRC Iran has produced a number of games along these lines. If it doesn't sell in the USA it does not automatically follow that the USG stopped it. China's government is just showing that they do not trust their population.
So, how many of these Server rack systems will you be selling? I'm sure that given how superior they are, you'll be selling thousands, or that if you won't someone else will, right? Orrrrr, in 6 months we'll see that PC sales have gone even further down -- with the exception, once again of Apple (& Lenovo).
People are tired of buying poorly integrated parts that don't quite make a whole into a PC. Hey I used to make my own systems from parts too, until I found better & more profitable things to do with my time. So have almost all of the many people I know - even the kid going to the engineering university I went to 20 odd years ago knows few who do so.
Ah, so according to you a Mac Pro is a 360 led light? I suppose that the two holes in your head just above your mouth are for storing coins?
One can always point out prior art. You know it's innovative when everyone else could have done so before, but didn't & then copies it afterwards: See the iPhone.
I'm sure you would like to make $3k statements, but it isn't likely to happen while you're whining from mum's basement.
Form factor is a minor detail, huh? Yeah, externalizing storage & everything else that people used to install in the box is a mere detail... As I've stated elsewhere in this thread, the MP is what your PC will look like in 6 years (if you still have one).
If the Mac Pros PS was underpowered, the reviews would have noticed and pointed out throttling. Methinks you've got a bad case of sour grapes. Too bad you live in a backwater where Macs are overpriced I'm lucky enough to live in or regularly visit countries where this isn't the case.
How surprising, an ignorant Anonymous Coward. I know dozens of people that own only a tablet. They are just the thing to offer an older relative so that they can perform the limited Internet access (web/music/video/ebooks/skype/facetime) they want reliably and more importantly easy to use. Tell us, Coward, was it the falling sales of desktops over the last decade that gave you you particular insight or did you come up with it on your own?

The only astoundingly stupid comment was yours, comparing the Mac Pro to a led light. Here's a dime to add to your head coin collection.
Lol thanks
Combine the gpp author's name & his typo using detergent instead of deterrent. Add an Ixs & you get a Wooosshhh...
I've never seen a cold wet dog that liked detergent...

Indeed. The people who sell the rights often make more off the bad Hollywood makeover than they do off the original.
