  1. Because when you want to sell video cards for games, you focus on the technology and platform where the games are.

    Because trying to do pcie passthrough with a single GPU is a major headache and gaming in a VM is dumb.

    You mean the only OS for gaming is going to support a tech that makes games look better? The horrors!

  4. You mean the fact he did far better in the primaries then anyone expected him to do? So yes, it seems it worked out amazingly well. Had the playing field not been so heavily weighted to his opponent he probably would have cinched the nomination.

  5. Except not hitting pedestrians is kind of important. Knowing you're in a residential area and being on the lookout for kids chasing balls is important. Regardless if you had the right of way your not going to win any brownie points by saying that after you run down a kid.

  6. Show me the manufacturer that does not void your warranty then you can tell me about choice.

    I don't get all this crap about wanting to remove these guys.

    1. I'd rather know what they are saying

    3. I'm not cool with demands for censorship

    Now, I'm about as liberal as you can get, but censorship, government or otherwise always rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it has to do with the fact that my family has been here since the beginning and has served in every conflict our country has ever had. I believe in free speech, even for the idiots who spout white supremacy/nationalism crap.

  14. Unfortunately the NRA has done Eff-all when it comes to gun safety since Carter Harlon hijacked it in the early 80's. They went from helping write gun regulations to doing everything they can to repeal them.

    " the bullied nerd types used to know better and react in a more civilized manner."

    Yeah they killed themselves. but I suppose you think that's "more civilized".

  16. I disagree, America has a huge problem, not just with the number of guns, but it's obsession with them as well. I would say it is the obsession that makes them more dangerous.

    Side rant:

    The NRA used to be about gun safety, that was their primary focus. When did the NRA stop being about safety (answer 1981) ? They used to support gun control, and in fact helped write gun control laws until the 80's. The NRA got hijacked in the early 1980's and turned it's back on it's own principles thanks to the lunatics taking control (yes Harlon Carter and Neal Knox were lunatics).

  17. Fucking false equivalency. I can make alcohol in my kitchen with very little knowledge or skill involved, only slightly more and I can make drugs. Very few people have the equipment or knowledge to make their own gun.

  18. Parking my 1967 Oldsmobile 98 hearse was easy. I never understood how people could be so bad a parallel parking yet still be given a license to drive.

  19. "Annnnd, what happens when I'm trying to back away from danger into some tall grass;"

    Sure, let's base all our policies on situations that 99.9% of our population will never encounter.

    They have been doing that since day 1

    "As an example, the Macintosh was supposed to have only 17 address lines on the motherboard, enough to support 128k of system RAM, but the design team added an additional two address lines without Jobs's knowledge, making it possible to expand the computer to 512k, although the actual act of upgrading system RAM was difficult and required piggybacking additional RAM chips overtop the onboard 4164 chips. In September 1984, after months of complaints over the Mac's inadequate RAM, Apple released an official 512k machine. Although this had always been planned from the beginning, Steve Jobs maintained if the user desired more RAM than the Mac 128 provided, he should simply pay extra money for a Mac 512 rather than upgrade the computer himself."

    Militia is defined in law: as defined by the Militia Act of 1903, the term "militia" is primarily used to describe two groups within the United States:

    Organized militia – consisting of State militia forces; notably, the National Guard and Naval Militia.(Note: the National Guard is not to be confused with the National Guard of the United States.)

    Unorganized militia – composing the Reserve Militia: every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age, not a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia.



    As such, we do not have a regulated militia today as no state maintains both their National Guard forces and a purely state militia.
