I recently had to go back to Amazon for the first time in about 6 years to get a motherboard that was out of stock everywhere and too expensive on Ebay. I couldn't determine who the seller actually was. They just claimed it was MSI themselves, which is obviously bullshit. I couldn't figure out where it was shipping from. I didn't get a shipping quote until the final page so I had no idea what the total was going to be until I got almost done checking out. They screamed "Prime" at me like a thousand times and send a dozen followup e-mails. Their website was so busy it made my head hurt and there was stuff flying around and popping up and moving around so much, it was like a warzone.
So in other words, nothing changed since the last time I used it. Or since 10 years ago for that matter.
AND THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT PEOPLE NOT PICKING UP BOXES AND SHIT FAST ENOUGH?! Hire a robot to fix your awful pile of crap website, Amazon!
Let me break this down. Here's Intel's apparent product planning meeting:
1. Mobile processors. What to do for the 4th gen Haswell ones...umm...let's make the Pentium 1/2 the speed of the 3rd gen one and still throw it in laptops. Yay! Let's do that! People freaking love double the battery life when it takes twice as long to do everything. I wonder why half the U-series underclocked 3rd gen chips are all on clearance right now...hmmm...
2. Let's take the atom that runs x86 and just emulate ARM and throw it in some tablets like the ASUS MeMO Pad. That'll be efficient and not glitchy at all. Yes, best meeting ever!
3. Next, let's make chips for a controversial product that nobody wants.
I guess this is what happens when AMD says they don't want to compete in mobile processors. Oh well, at least Intel is running out of feet to shoot themselves in.
Why can we not simply charge certain people with being fat, unbearable, arrogant bastards. He installed a fiber line to his house just so he could beat people at Call of Duty and be ranked in the top rank in the world. That's how much of a piece of human garbage he is. He's like that fat, stupid 30-40 year old who acts like a 12 year old, flaunts the law like he's all tough and untouchable, then acts like a kicked puppy when things don't go his way. They really, really, really should just execute him to make an example for all internet neckbeard douche-trolls like him.
The alternative to this is one that resides on the ground and it generates the same power no matter what the height of the waves are. That's a lot more logical.
If they're going to team up with people who pretend to know about cyber security, they might as well team up with Valve and put Valve Anti Cheat on the cars. That system works peeeeerfectly.
What about those two claims was specifically not followed through on from a technical perspective? I saw the commercials that claimed it did both of those and they were pretty black and white. All the article says was that less than all games supported pausing and resuming on the Vita. There has to be more to it.
Oh really? They took all his stuff and ruined his company and now he wished he wouldn't have been such an arrogant fat bastard. If only he also took seriously how the entire world hates him.
Take the number of cheaters in all major cycling tournaments, multiply it by the number of cheaters at every major magic the gathering tournament, and multiply it by 10,000 and you've got the number of people who cheat at Counterstrike.
By the way, there is so much wrong with this article I don't know where to start. Reporting people is a fucking joke. It does NOTHING. Going over logs to see who cheated just tells you who cheated. Nothing happens. There is nothing the user can do about it. Until companies get serious about cheating, nobody will play their completely ruined games.
In MW3 for the PC, it became unplayable after about 3 months. You literally cannot play one single online round without someone floating through the air and firing at you with zero recoil. That's a $100 million+ game. They just don't give a flying fuck about cheating.
Here's THE answer. Google [name of game] hacks. Download the hacking utilities that everyone else is using. Look at what directory it installs to or what DLLs go where. Have the game check for those files in the next patch. Permanently ban everyone with the hack installed and ban them from Steam so basically those cheating pieces of shit aren't allowed to play video games anymore.
You put up a device, it spits out power for free, and it doesn't run on fuel. Problem solved. What the hell about that do they think is not going to work?
Maybe they should block all malware plugins too. Honestly after running a small repair shop, I could name them off right off the top of my head. Block those assholes and turn it into a marketing thing to brag about security (security for stupid, careless people at least).
You're an idiot. They're interested in revenge? Some pot-smoking 18 year old thug piece of ghetto trash robbed a store then assaulted an officer and tried to steal his gun. The officer shot him. OMG RAAACCIIISSSMM! More like they want early Christmas shopping aka looting. It's 100% about looting. I'm sure that's going to help race relations in Ferguson.
They're seeking public comments on a system that collected bulk data from the public that turned out to be useless? I think I might just submit "fuck you" as a comment.
Instead of trying to mine it in space, why not strap a parachute to it and redirect it straight at Earth? Before it starts immense friction against the air, there will be enough air to fill the chute. Then you can mine it on the ground.
Do you mean to tell me that running overcomplicated garbage code on 10 million websites that uses 15 divs and 3 databases to draw the word "the" on the page might be vulnerable to cross site scripting? I never would have guessed! (I'm a by-hand HTML designer by the way).
I was just arguing with ultra conservative dumbfucks on Facebook who think climate change is a media conspiracy. Now that they're shrunk to like 3% of the population (and their own stupidity is hopefully killing them off) I think we have a level of support that could actually get this done. I think we have numbers from 10,000 years ago from trees. We have numbers from Mt St Helens. We have numbers from more recent volcanoes. We have simulations over years from nuclear weapons. We also have giant food reserves in bunkers. I say go for it.
It's Windows 8.1 with a start menu. They didn't rewrite the kernel from scratch so that puts it into 6.4 - 6.99999 range. It's an arbitrary, meaningless number and it's in an OS that they named 10 for no logical reason. They're trying to assign meaning to that?
Despite that book being completely true to life, I'm not one to jump all over something and call it sexist but that sounds incredibly sexist. Most feminist feminazis make exaggerating their full time job but that book sounds almost purposely sexist.
I'm surprised there aren't more neat tricks like this. I learned to offload some 3D geometric simulations to my subconscious and instantly having it hand back a result. It's complicated but basically you send a request to the part of your brain that's responsible for unconscious generation of realistic objects in dreams and it returns a proper, accurate result without having to consciously make the determination yourself. That's why I can solve problems at superhuman speeds while doing 3D modeling at my work. I'm actually the CIO and they made me part time 3D designer because of that:D
I also heard about techniques that any normal person can do to memorize and entire deck of cards. Someone covering an international memorization competition as a journalist thought he should try it out and then went on to win it the next year, proving anyone can do it.
I should also mention that it's unbelievably easy to learn to speedread. I learned it in one day. I also learned a technique to gain control of and remember all dreams you have. I had mixed success. It's a bit harder. But why are there not more brain tricks like this becoming popular? Most are not even difficult!

Really? Because some people haven't read the wikipedia page about what a waste of fat that piece of shit is.

Now the people in towns nearby can have flaming AND glowing water.

...and credit card numbers and paypal addresses.

I really hope they don't pay!

It's so far past "about time" they need to change their product name. Everyone knows gorilla glass means cheap crap that shatters on impact.

They're an American company so Europe can eat a big bucket of stfu.

Coming from someone who thinks "pie shop" and not "bakery" I'm not surprised.
