  3. Great more TFLOP's on AMD Announces 16 TFLOP Radeon Pro Duo (hothardware.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    More TFLOP's are great. But what I'm really interested in out of AMD are:

    1) Better driver support
    2) Something to compete with Nvidia's Physx, Gameworks, built-in video encoding, etc.
    3) Better support from game developers

    I recently abandoned the red team because I got sick of waiting for them to get their act together while Nvidia got all the developer and exclusive-feature love.

    Yes, all the studies showing problems with personalized learning are simply showing that we had not yet figured out how to do it well.

    No, we know exactly how to do it *well*. Each student's parents just need to hire an individual full-time tutor for their kid, who can then teach them in whatever way best suits that individual kid.

    The problem is that we haven't found a way to to it *economically* or *practically* for all those students whose parents can't afford to hire an individual tutor.

    If every gamer was as good at playing a games as they are at bitching and moaning about them, then I wouldn't have to deal with so many shit players in my PUGs.

    No one gives a shit, snowflakes. Konami, Valve, Bioware, etc. don't owe you ANYTHING. If you don't like what they're doing, then stop buying their games and move on.

    The game belongs to the company that made it. It doesn't belong to you. They paid for the development. They took the risks. You bought it and played it, great. But the fact that you bought it and played it doesn't mean you somehow own it now.

    If they don't want it remade, then what you want is irrelevant. You're not entitled to anything, snowflakes.

    Yes, Trump is a terrible candidate to actually fix any of this, but he's basically the only candidate even TALKING about it. So he's, by default, the only candidate that frustrated workers can turn to.

    Bernie Sanders probably would talk about it, but he's too scared of the crazy SJW's in his party calling him a racist if he criticizes the H1B system or advocates putting American workers first. And that's a shame, since Bernie is a MUCH more likely candidate than Trump to actually stand up to big business and fix this broken system. Just another example how the SJW cancer is eating away at the Democratic Party's chances to actually do anything.

    As far as Hillary goes, that bitch is just a complete corporate tool who isn't going to help anyone but herself. She long ago sold any shred of decency left in her for a cheap campaign donation. The odds of her doing anything to upset the big corporations is about as good as the chances of her husband turning down a blowjob from Taylor Swift.

    Since when did a country protecting its borders and putting the interests of its own citizens ahead of the interests of foreigners become some buzzword for "evil racism" that every self-righteous liberal now feels the need to decry?

    Every country in history has protected its borders and controlled immigration to some extent. Only in this weird modern era is that somehow viewed as a BAD thing.

    And yes, when the U.S. was being settled, we were much more open to immigrants coming in. But that was back when we had tons of unsettled land available and plenty of jobs to spare, when infrastructure wasn't much needed, when there was no "social safety-net" to speak of, and when anyone who could handle a plow and work hard could make a go of it as a farmer.
