From the manufacturer's standpoint it's more important to keep customer satisfied by keeping them within the realm of what they consider safe for the hardware and avoiding warranty issues. Just like anything you can buy, it is engineered within certain specs and when those specs are exceeded nobody knows for sure what will happen.
If I was NVidia I'd provide the option for enthusiast to overclock with their agreement that the warranty is void. Some companies (such as XFX) may charge more for a product and warranty modified cards but for the budget products there's no padding to cover for potential warranty issues.
For some reason overclocking enthusiasts expect computer components from behind dealt with differently than any other product out there. If you pull the engine out of your car, modify it, and then blow a head gasket, guess who will pay for the repairs? You.
Anyway, if we do create real AI, it will take the jobs of all the people it is intelligent as under the current capitalist system. How much of the wealth do we let the rich have before we say enough is enough?
I have though of that many times in my life and wondered what would happen. I suspect that by the time this is an issue the world will have changed significantly. Until then we continue working towards a better life.
Maybe you miss understand creative role. I'm not talking about artistic creativity although it does fall in that category. I'm talking about engineering, software dev, graphic design and marketing. There are many others. Those fields are not yet going to be replaced by computers. The process of optimizing these fields has started but we have not yet maximize the potential of combining engineering and computers. The software offered today is the tip of the iceberg as far as I'm concerned.
I don't disagree. I'm just saying it's probably the safest path. There are many others at the moment that won't be replaced by computers but rather optimized and reduced such as the medical field. That field in the next 50 years will see dramatic changes in the level of responsiveness they can offer and eventually that will result into a lesser number of workers.
I wasn't calling your comment Flamebait. I was warning people of the flamebait I was writing. You know that mentioning MS as a fix for Apple is always very iffy!
Maybe they should hire Microsoft's Skype voice recognition programmers since they seem to be able to translate English to Spanish to English live (1s delay).
Which is why creative jobs are the best jobs. The current AIs that have surfaced that can actually entertain a conversation require ridiculous amounts of processing power which is why we haven't seen AIs take actual jobs yet. Automation is really the only method that has been used to remove some jobs.
Considering that the US is ranked number 1 for GFP and considering the next two are Russia and China which never get involved in anything global unless its for their own selfish objectives I'm not surprised to see 80% of the bombing is coming from the US.
Last I checked the UK, Canada, Italy, Germany and Syria are all actively involved in the war against ISIS. The Jordanians have also been bombing as well as Canada, the UK and the French.
So my point here is that those who can help are helping. Proof is all over the internet. Just lookup "who is fighting ISIS".
I can agree with that part but scores are catered to the black sheeps of gaming. Me and you are black sheeps hence we just need to continue doing what we do to find games we like.
I'd be willing to believe in this doomsday scenario if human weren't so protective over what they already have. Because extra surveillance doesn't affect day to day life/business for 99% of the population it is not perceived as a treat to what has already acquired. The concept of privacy has always been abstract, more so in recent years.
To suggest that a dictatorship could set in without public outburst is something I personally do not foresee happening.
In court you only need to prove you weren't aware of the illegal activities which is generally fairly easy to do if you aren't a partner in the business. If you did know of the illegal activities the company did and continued to work for the employer without question, I say: "Deal with the consequences"
There's a difference between working for a company that does something wrong without your knowledge and working for a company that is knowingly doing something that is "perceived" as illegal. I use perceived because there's still a fine line between enabling distribution and distribution of copyright material in some countries.

5 PhDs VS 5 PhDs with credentials proving their ability to satisfy their specific needs. That's why.

I agree. Unfortunately there is no filter for ignorance, lack of knowledge or lack of being open minded.
Yes. I agree with that. I won't claim to know what will happen to the less fortunate but what I do know is that human kind has always adjusted.
I figure they are going after most users which will exclude hackers since they all use Linux or some form of to do their work.
Did they really say that? I must have missed it but I'm not surprised if it's bozo who said it.
Comes down to saying: Using the right tool for the right job. I think this is where Linux shines.

Creative roles don't stop with entertainment. Engineering, software dev, marketing, graphic design and many other all require creativity.
You miss understand what a creative job is. Software dev, engineering, marketing... The list goes on.

So there's a no cost phone number I can call for support?
and are therefore entirely worthless for me.

You need to review the meaning of Fascism. EU, US are very far from Fascism.

Megaupload didn't have a reputation of being extremely compliant in that department. I would compare them to Youtube or Google's employees.
There's a fine line here and if you are willing to knowingly risk walking it all bets are off when hammer time happens.
