    I'm sick of reboots and remakes. Make something new ffs. If they want to make reboot please take shitty movies and stop using babies in diapers that think they are good in spiderman movies... this is getting ridiculous.

    yahoo comes to mind lol. it was great before they changed they're model to a more business like. When they did, they went down, crash and burned. I used Yahoo too and when they got more business like design and model, I used another one which was more appropriate to my taste.

    no ads nothing is free ? Change your ways, it's flawed. A company or a website that only relies on ads will fall for sure... every company boss knows that. Ads are there to spread the word or have a specific goal in mind. It's not the major money making machine ...if it is, somethings wrong.

    nvidia and amd already got open source drivers. It's just not supported well enough. Understandable as to why a company would release the whole source code to the community.

    support old level directx and shader and you'll have to spend more man hours and create a team just to make sure your game runs correctly with those. Add the higher support directx level and you got another team. Just look at the market on what people currently have and make the math. In the end, they would spend more money if they support both and old and new "technology". They have to drop the old stuff. It sucks for people who doesn't have high grade directx hardware but the team can concentrate more on their current directx level so technically speaking, everyone wins while some are sacrificed for now.

    if it ignores your xorg.conf file then your X is glitches or your config is wrong. This is not normal. Usually, X is dependent enough to detect your hardware and doesn't need a xorg.conf file today so just install X then start it and it should run. if not, it should require some extra work to make sure it runs correctly. Super fast I would say you need to manually create an xorg.conf if you use the nouveau driver set with X and if its not created, you will have problems... and IDK what your talking about when you say xorg.conf and fake registry... linux doesn't have registry....

    if they use standards they wont make money since the product can be used anywhere. thats the point of standards. If they use another format, Apple is forcing you to buy they're products. More money to them than someone else. Apple is creating an artificial need to it's consumer like Bill Gates did with the DOS back in the days...simple math if you ask me.

    Forgot to tel but:

    In 2011 the global market for mobile phone accessories will rake in an estimated $34 billion in revenue. Apple-approved products—accessories made by Apple or branded by Apple—make up about $2 to $3 billion of that.

    They can't ignore that.

  15. That's bullshit on Reports Say Apple Is Shrinking Its Docking Connector With iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    On the upside, a smaller connector will allow for more compact product designs.

    The only thing that's compact is the connector and nothing else. The product shape, design and size will depend on its developer, creator, inventor..whatever. It's only an excuse to release a so called "new" product (iphone5) that will make you spend more money on gadgets and accessories. When they look at their stats, I'm pretty sure someone at apple decided to accept this change because lots of people bought iphone 4 accessories and he's thinking if people buy so many gadgets, they will surely buy lots of gadgets on the iphone5 even if we change the connector size.

    Try to say that to a ceo or a board. the only thing they got and they look at are numbers and stats, unfortunately they look at nothing else. When your in the admin of a corp, the important things are numbers and not what's below you. I'm not saying it's so unimportant they should be ignored but rather saying that the priority on their list is the company as a whole rather than the small stuff under them. It's been going like that for centuries and nothing will change that for now.

    I guess I wasn't lucky where I was then (and you make me feel so old lol)... my school board sucked I guess. Not sure if it's the same to every school board but I know they are all regulated by the same gov so they should have the same ruleset but i know they got a different budget depending on where they are. Different city got different needs so I guess mine wasn't too high on their list.

    The new generation isn't going to shit but they will have a harder time that's for sure as there's more electronic device and lots of manual labor are replaced by machines or devices done without any human interaction. To my view and own experience, I know that the younger generation around me knows more about electronic devices and computers than building they're own shed for example.

    Thanks to our school system here in Québec the only thing they try to learn kids are 3 things, french, math and english language... that's it. Nothing else. I was lucky enough to have more diversity in my education as geometry, some class in lessons on how to work with a budget and everything about economics. I also had some class on making wood and metal objects and how to work with various tools around a workshop. Sorry, those names were in french but the description should be clear enough. Today, all they have is 3 major class and some credits on the side but that's it.

    It all comes down to pure profit. If the company doesn't make enough money, it will sell that factory and built one where it's cheaper. He will export his products where he can make more profit. Like you said, " Welcome to capitalism." Your right on that. There seems to be 2 different views from both our generation and theirs and what they don't seem to grasp is the world is turning and in constant evolution. There's so many stores, the market is saturated with them so it makes those products very cheap almost to a point where building it yourself makes it totally pointless. Sure some people work on the field, some still build tables, wood furniture and all those things. But theres a group of people who only buys them and will never work to build one himself. Why build one yourself when it's available for pennies at your local store or at Ikea. Besides, the latest generation here are not skilled like our "great parents" were 50-80 years ago. They didn't have an Ikea down their street.
