  1. Re:What's the point of your post on Larry Ellison Buys His Own Hawaiian Island · · Score: 0

    I'm having difficulties interpreting that in any way that would make sense...

    Are you slow, or just under 21?
    It's a pretty straight forward concept that I've actualy seen for decades.
    Food comes in, and regime leaders send forces to take ownership of the dropped food. It's a control tactic, and has been used for so damned long that it's well known across the globe.

    And even if such a blanket statement was true, it still wouldn't be all that appropriate response to the criticism of utterly ridiculous wealth disparity in the world.

    If you have stuff, you aren't responsible to distribute it to people who don't have it.

    By that logic, everyone how works, buys food from a grocery store, buys fuel for their vehicle, uses electricity to charge their phone, is a a slave to the grocery store corps/oil companies/energy companies.

    Slaves are held to do things against their will.

    It is possible to think for yourself, and go to school. I'm a wonderful example of that.

    As a human, you can create a business of your own, or even grow your own food and build your own housing. Of course, you'll need to buy land, but that's getting into other things.

    Yes, bad things happened in the past, and will continue to happen. We're lessening our bad things by the century, though.

    In case you didn't notice, the GP was referring to people shifting from using PCs to mobile devices, not cell phones.

    Smart phones are only one demographic of the mobile device market. I'm willing to bet tablets were the environment being referred to...

    Apparently you do have an unusually low entertainment threshold.
    The second took a multifaceted storyline that could run in so many directions at the same time, and turned it into a linear single-storied fight plot. It saddened so many people, it was worse than Star Wars 1-3.

  11. Re:ARM already won on Intel Dismisses 'x86 Tax', Sees No Future For ARM · · Score: 1

    Intel lost the CPU wars about as much as Microsoft lost the computer market.

    It's still out there, and it's used in lots of places. ARM is just making a dent, it's nowhere near cornering the CPU market. I'm not saying it's inferior, I'm saying it's not as prevalent as you think it is apparently.

    Macs switched from POWER to x86 too.
    ... and there were greater than zero legacy compatibility requirements.

    Well, as much as I am for choice and not being locked down to specific companies, I don't trust companies that bypass every known safeguard of medicine. (i.e. skirting the FDA, and maybe getting their drugs from the UK or something)

  16. Re:Only problem is ... on Thunderbolt On Windows: Hardware and Performance Explored · · Score: 1

    The whole "expansion interface" aspect of it just makes it more of a security headache as does the display requirement.

    You haven't used USB, firewire, nor SCSI much, have you?

    All of them began as expansion interfaces. None of them are security headaches at the hardware level. Now, if you have a retarded operating system that automatically mounts and loads contents from an interface once it's hot-mounted, that's another story.
    Also, we could care less that you gave up your mac mini and went with a compaq. I went from a 486sx/25 to an 8086 in 1995, you don't see me bragging about that.

    What, does Intel need to hold your hand in creating operating system drivers? They invent the bus & concept, the chipsets and such are made by the market.

    (As for why I have a MacBook vs. a Windows laptop... well, it's rather well built (and has survived a few drops to date), is Unix-y enough to allow me to develop on it and still deploy the results to our Linux servers, and has built-in grep and zsh.) ... and it can run all three operating systems (Windows, Linux, OSX) natively without any fuss.
