  1. .. gives to charity if it furthers his agenda.

  2. Star Wars is sci-fi for the uneducated. We all prefer Star Trek here.

  3. Re:Linux Gamer on As of Tonight, 1900 Steam Games For Linux (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Then when some AAA game comes out on Linux I get comments along the lines of "well you haven't got (insert arbitrary game) on Linux" You're complaining about something that is not only a truth, but logical. Linux has WAY less AAA titles than Windows. Someone pointing this out is just elaboration.

  4. That's more than the number of linux users... on As of Tonight, 1900 Steam Games For Linux (phoronix.com) · · Score: 2

    That's impressive. Those 1900 triple Z titles outnumber the amount of Linux users by some margin... ... I'll get my coat :)

  5. Re:The solution seems obvious to me... on Microsoft Unhappy With Beta Testers, Demands Answers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    hear hear, I agree 1000%. If you don't want to be nagged for your input, don't beta test!

  6. That may be true, but the statement was about Vulkan not OpenGL and in a gaming world where DirectX dominates.

  7. Re:Form Factor not "Format" on Google Proposes New Hard Drive Format For Data Centers (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Many analysts are saying starting this year that is no longer true anymore and that starting next year SSD cost/density per unit of storage will be cheaper than HDDs

    > It would still permit large throughput with high density, but seeks would be slower. If you read the article that is the exact opposite of what they want.

  9. ..but how about paying your damn taxes?

  10. Single star to black hole on Why LIGO's Black Holes Probably Didn't Come From a Single Star · · Score: 2

    Why can't a single massive star collapsing into a black hole not trigger gravitational waves, why does it take two? Surely it's just the mass involved that's the important factor here?

  11. Re:....predictions. on The Story Behind the Worst Computer Game In History (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    5 weeks was more than enough time for someone back then if they were already "set up" to write games.

  12. Re:Really? on New Metallic Glass Creates Potential For Smart Windows · · Score: 1

    I think think you're confusing "Linux goes up to 11" with "Linux has 11 users".

    How are those TPS reports coming along? Yeahhhh.. Gonna have to ask you to come in on Saturday.. Mmmkay?

    "but also works on Mac, Linux, Android, Iphone, and PS4 and others" Sounds nice, but in reality the numbers will still be substantially less than Windows PCs and XBONE running DX12. It's only the the Linux crowd that gives a shit about Vulcan who are desperately to stay relevant.

  17. No mention of the Amiga!!?? on In Memoriam: VGA (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I walked to the shops today. I suppose that makes me an expert in trans-world marathoning and survival training for the journey too.

    My opinions don't get broadcast all over the world with an air of authority.

  20. Musk needs to get a grip on Elon Musk To Unveil Mars Spacecraft Later This Year, For 2025 Flight (foxnews.com) · · Score: -1

    His cars and battery technology are interesting. But the media treat him like the second coming. He has opinions about things that are completely outside his sphere and they love him for it.

  21. Why on Earth is that something you think could be related in any way, shape or form?

  22. Re:Is this of interest to anyone besides gamers? on How OpenGL Graphics Card Performance Has Evolved Over 10 Years (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    The video game industry is several times the size of the movie industry. You mention it as if its'a niche thing instead of being the ubiquitous activity it is in reality.
