    Right, you get it. Vint Cerf is the nascissist/geek bully who pushed the crap IPv6 design on the world, arguably one of the most expensive blunders in the history of technology. A self promoting ass who does not deserve his fame. Pretty much everything credited to him was actually done by someone else.

    "No headphone jack, squeezable sides"... hmm, it's evolving into a dildo.

    I have a number of professors I would love you to convince that I don't need to give them Microsoft documents.

    If your professor forces you to use Microsoft products then you went to the wrong school.

    Or something equivalent, zenimax claims are basically all "We own whatever comes out of Carmacks head"...

    I the case had been tried in California they would have been promptly tossed out of court on their asses.

    the CEO of ZeniMax was a day trader who more or less got kicked out of the profession for being too skeezy. Let that one sink in for a moment.

    Even without knowing that, it's clear he is a fucking asshole and Zenimax will never get a cent more of my money, ever. Spent quite a bit on them in the past, but that's done now.

  8. The Texas court probably broke and/or disregarded the law. It happens on a regular basis there, that is why patent trolls (like crybaby Zenimax) go shopping for judges there.

    That what you don't get, you aging Microsoft shill. Nobody needs Microsoft documents any more. Hey, hey, hey, goo-ood bye. There are better, cheap and faster ways of doing everything that the poor clueless Microsoft victims have been suffering with for so long.

    And if should they choose voluntarily to go on suffering, then fuck em. It's their choice, it's not on me.

    This thoroughly evil Intel backdoor is also a problem for low latency - every so often, the response latency just gets blown to hell and there is nothing that can be done about it, except switch to a different chip. It is high time Intel came clean about it. Just pure evil, nothing less. Can't say anything good about this, or about the idiot PHBs that came up with it.

    That day is getting closer every day. Trump will make history: the first president to be removed from the white house by the police. Sorry Putin, you backed a loser.

    There was also a tiny window where Itanium had some life, around the early 2000s before x86-64 became a thing.

    They stuck tons of cache on it, which made it look good for server machines and fooled HPaq into throwing tons of money at it. That, and a few DEC refuses who somehow survived the sinking.
