Hey, asshole, the constant unending push to release the fastest card on the market drives prices down faster. Even if it didn't, you'd still be an asshole. If I want to spend $600 for a new video card because I think it's worth it, then I will. A 6600 don't cut it at 1920x1200.
> So if you have 30 different customer applications that all use the same iText based report generators, you only have to fix a bug in one place, or add a new feature (like a new type of chart) in one place, and you can release the update for all 30 applications...and break half of them
My description was accurate, but not as precise as yours. I didn't feel the need to bludgeon the reader with detail when all I wanted to get across was how much I hated the unenforced non-obvious clause in patent law.
That's easy; God. I can just see the reality show opportunity: God Court. This will totally work if I can get James Earl Jones to play the voice of God.
Aside from the purely practical/technical reasons, you have to keep in mind that even if you're an astounding guitarist in the most awesome cover band in the world, your performance of a song isn't going to sound exactly like the original
You fail video games. Here is the 80% of why Guitar Hero is still a top seller 10 months after it has been released: the guitar controller. Using the Wii controller would not be interesting - it would be an atrocity when there is already a controller available the then entire game has been designed around. I don't get how people can enjoy playing Frets on Fire with a fucking keyboard, either.

Organizations can't be torn apart and restructured with the same ease that Legos can.
> And what do these thinner materials and more closely-spaced heads do for the MTBF and error rate in such drives?
They're timed to disintegrate 3 days after the warranty expires or 2 days before retirement (whichever comes first)
Guess which one of these schemes represents the protein folding problem.

> And what, exactly, is creating something original, if not being "the first one to get there"?
something original = copyright
something original + non-obvious* = patent

A GPU is an enormous parallel processor. A cpu is a small (mostly) serial processor. You are an idiot.
I said AN axe-wielding psychopath, not THE axe-wielding psychopath. We all have our own cross to bear, and that cross is an axe-wielding psychopath.
PS: Your own axe-wielding psychopath is 210 miles closer. Axe-wielding psychopath.
Let me know when you figure out who to sue

Every time you OMGWTF on the internet it bring an axe-wielding psychopath 70 miles closer
No, you're thinking of Krusty brand gum
My version of heaven does not include forced anal sex. Maybe I'm weird.

That said, Drist is pretty fucking badass

Have you seen any Burger King commercials? I'll take ultraviolence over depraved food wanker w/ supersized frozen visage any day of the week.
There were like 8 different jokes in there. I can't fix your broken soul.
Sony Exec 1: Ok people, we're naming the controller "PooS". That's an infinity sign in the middle
SE2 through 12: Brilliant!
Everyone else on Earth: Poos?! Sony is retarded.
SE1: PooS didn't test well. We'll need a new name.
SE2: I still want the batman-style controller...
SE1: Shut up. Names, people.
SE7: Dual Shark?
SE4: Uhhh, "Weemote"?
SE9: Sticktwiddler.
SE10: Thumbtron!
SE12: iStick.
SE11: Guys....Sixaxis
SE1: Done!
Everyone else on Earth: Six asses?! Sony is retarded.
> The ? : conditional operator becomes ?? !!.

I agree. The new ternary syntax is going to be easily confused with the ORLY?? and OMG!! operators.

The AK and M4 are almost a complete 180 of one another.
M4:
Expensive
High cyclic rate
Low recoil
Low bullet damage
AK:
Cheap
Low cyclic rate
High recoil
High bullet damage
This leads to m4 style generally being "spray and WIN" and AK style being two round bursts and single shotting.

Pfft. I was a sysadmin for the Tower of Babel. When that thing divided by zero, man, nobody could even talk anymore.
