My word, it's a christian, and a sensible one, at that. Weren't you lot extinct ?
In all seriousness, though, I wish you and your peers would open up a bit more often and tune down the fundies. You're supposedly the majority, but all we ever hear or see are the idiots.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't DirectX also an "abstraction layers [that] inevitably make[s] tradeoffs which ultimately impact performance" for various brands of GPUs ?
Yes, the man should have the right to burn the islam's holy book. However, he should only have that right if he will allow me (or a moslim) to stand next to him, burning *his* holy book.
Freedom of speech is wonderful, but if it doesn't go both ways, you're nothing but a filthy hypocrite.
I mostly agree, although as a long-time reader, I would argue that the most convincing environment is the one you create in your head. Unfortunately, that requires the use of imagination, and it looks like that's being killed off at an alarming rate by hollywood and the like.
Isn't that the same argument as the "Guns Kill" one ? Of course there is a clear link between speed and fatality rate, but in the end it's the driver who's responsible - save for "freak" causes.
What's wrong with this particular "factually depicted game", is that you can't have the troops start identifying with the enemy. Next you know they'll be thinking for themselves, too.
I have no particular opinion one way or the other, but I'd like to point out that (non-monsanto) maize plants will keep breeding and producing when humans stop intervening, whereas the production of 100% alcohol will come to a full stop.
Sure, buffer overflows are "solved" if you have the luxury of being able to swallow the overhead associated with higher-level languages. If you want to drag out the last bit of performance, you don't have that - but I guess your using VB as an example says enough.
Also, what would you have exploits rely on, if not oversights in the platform ? The willingness of Sony to let you install a rootkit ? There will always be bugs, and the best exploits are all about the high art of being able to both find and use them.
Interestingly, here in Belgium jury leave is legally arranged: you get leave that doesn't come out of your regular leave, for the time you're needed plus travel, up to a max of n days.
Makes for a much more even distribution of jurors:-)
Just as you can easily find examples that prove the opposite. Islam is a modern-day religion, is it not ? Kill the infidel. Let's have a look about tolerance and acceptance of gay people, in quite a few modern religions. Equality of women ? The catholics are turning out to be very good at taking care of the family - especially the younger members; and responsibility for that is of course taken by all involved.
And I'm not even going to bother citing an example of critical thought.
Yes, much good comes from religion, in the form of arts, morals and what have you. Unfortunately, much evil also comes from *organized* religion, where people get addicted to power over others. It's a two-edged sword, and don't delude yourself about which edge has dulled over the centuries.
"Buddhas" ? The only time when Buddha is referred to in the plural, is when talking about statues of him. There has only ever been a single Buddha, and it's made abundantly clear that he was human, even after he reached enlightenment.
Trouble is that the process risks turning into an industry, at which point cost-saving and efficiency-optimizing managers will enhance shareholder value and synergise scale-benefits by planting only a single species of plant.

Took a brief glance at the homepage. It may be free, but it looks like being full of the same inane messages as the original.

True, true. Oh well. As long as the three laws are unchanged and obeyed, they'll still be more reliable than human politicians.
Thank you for those - they're the first HDR shots I see that don't look "wrong". There is something to this, after all :-)
I still sometimes like the "wrong" ones because it can create a nice atmosphere, but I never got why people claimed they looked more "real".

I think the idea is the same in the US, but it simply got used by everyone as an easy UID anyway.

That particular joke is getting more boring by the square of it's number of apparitions.
You mean, "care about not breaking shit they don't intend to break".
The removal of OtherOS was very much planned, of course, but it still counts as "breaking my shit" as far as I'm concerned.
The standard, shorter, more efficient and very much in common use word, you mean.
Perhaps "computer" is the fancy word for "magical thingie that finds porn and viruses on the interwebs" ?

I suppose they're looking at using something called a T-bacterium in their components ?

Stop tempting me, damn you.

Just what the gulf coast economy needs, I think: mortium steak.
It's just Kristopeit, don't worry about it. Just don't forget, "YOU ARE NOTHING" :-)

You also have to mean it, and GOD KNOWS ! *cough*

Depends on wether it's a metric fuckton or an imperial fuckton.
