What honestly do you do in Linux that is easier or more convenient than it would be to use Windows 10? Apart from running services like Apache, MySQL etc, which I personally find easier in Linux, for any desktop use there's nothing about Linux that seems better. Driver support is generally worse, there's less support for games (and no, running them in a degraded way in WINE is not an option). I tend to run a Linux server as a VM under Windows 10 - I've NEVER experienced a crash in years of using Win 8/10, either...
Hang on Mr Coward, which one of Trump's baby-mommas are you talking about? And yes, what's going on right now in the Whitehouse is a horror show. It's an orange man-baby throwing tantrums and doing everything he can to fuck over the rubes he conned into voting for him, and what's worse is that some of the people around him are actually taking him seriously. I can't imagine anything more crooked - he's openly gloating about destroying the environment, destroying public education, taking bribes, blatant nepotism, filling his cabinet with people who are donors, including most who have no idea how to run their departments (or worse, are actively hostile toward them). There's also now a mountain of evidence he worked with Russia during the election (although with Nunes on the payroll, I'm sure a bit of money will make that "go away").
The only good thing about Trump is that he's old and he'll be dead soon. If you voted for him, you helped sell out America.
You can actually create scanlines, focus, tear blur effects etc with pixel shaders with no CPU overhead. It wouldn't be that difficult to take the framebuffer from MAME and use it as a texture to a shader to get any kind of distortion needed really. You could even make it appear as though the game is playing on a curved display.
Maybe some people look at the bigger picture, instead of purely their own selfish interests at that moment in time? Just because the discrimination might not immediately affect them today, it doesn't mean it doesn't affect their staff, family, friends, or the image of America.
BitDefender on OSX is terrible. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for any reason. It often thrashes the CPU, increasing heat, battery usage, and obviously having a massive impact on disk performance on overall system responsiveness. I've never used it on Windows, and likely never will. Windows Defender has always been fine for me on Windows, I've tried McAfee etc in the past, and they've all been much more trouble than they're worth. I can't deal with the massive performance loss, and strange abnormalities that often impede software testing brought about by AV software meddling in the filesystem and network layer.
There's a reason so many otherwise useful programs try to smuggle AV onto your machine unless you happen to notice it, and opt out. It's because nobody would willingly subject themselves to that.
Exactly. I do the same, if we get a new PC with commercial AV installed (usually some trial) it's the first thing I uninstall to installing improve disk performance by 50-100%. The Windows 10 built-in AV works fine and doesn't make a PC perform like it has a 5400rpm drive from 2001, instead of a modern SSD.
You know, some people say this, but give absolutely no evidence for the assertion. I use a Windows desktop and 2015 Macbook Pro daily (as well as Linux on servers) and honestly prefer Win10 to OSX. The file explorer is much more intuitive for me, it handles multiple displays much better, and obviously there's whole gaming thing.
I think some Mac fanboys probably haven't used Windows since Win 95, and still think it behaves as badly. It's like me comparing Win10 to OS9 (which was truly terrible - I had to suffer through that!)
Er, so MS managed to show off probably the best tool for creatives/artists at a fairly good price - totally bespoke design.
Apple? Another laptop, almost identical in performance and features to the one from 3 years ago, but more expensive, with a retina touchpad instead of a touch screen. Plus they kind of overlooked the fact a lot of people like to plug their phone into their laptops to leech power for charging. So there's a dongle for that.
Chrome is actually significantly faster with WebGL / GPU accelerated content, when compared to Firefox. I've found FF to feel slower and less stable for some time now.
If you're going to try a hackneyed troll like this, kid, learn to be a little more subtle. You're like a guy running naked through a shopping mall, screaming "I'm a troll, I'm a troll! Please give me some attention! Pleeeeease!!!"
Has Slashdot somehow attracted edgy Youtube commenters now? It's so dull to read useless diatribes full of personal attacks and passive-aggressive dick waving. I'd hope we're a little more intelligent here. Why do people even post this garbage? Do they think it makes them "cool", or maybe that it'll impress someone? Maybe it's just a cry for attention from a lonely 12 year old I guess...
Why would Sony or MS sue? They've both sold the consoles, so they don't really care what people do with them after that, as long as they don't mod them to pirate games. Even in that case, the worst that will happen is banning the machines from their networks.

Let's see how quickly the Trumpanzees can blame this on Obama somehow, or call it all fake news :)
If by "slave labour" you mean the tech workers earning 6 figure salaries, with in some cases stock options, then yeah I'm ok with that.

Those groups were full of absolute scumbags. I don't blame Reddit for flushing them out to go congeal in some other gutter.

Yes, AC, it is... I'm laughing at you, in case "you are not getting it" :)
Well he got them to vote for him...

I rate this troll attempt 1/10. Anyone who's used HTML5 video on anything above a potato will know it runs fine, with LESS CPU usage than Flash.

Yeah, that "happened" I guess...

Because they ARE lead by a KGB thug?
My guess is that any forum you frequent will live down to that prediction...
