The Viet Cong, Taliban and Iraqi insurgents all seemed to do OK
They did not, in fact, do OK. In each case, it wasn't even a contest; it was a slaughter. And in each of those, the ratio of casualties gets more and more ridiculously lopsided.
Thanks! I looked at their website and noticed that the "supported engines" list included CryEngines, UX3D, Unity, Unreal, and Source. Does this mean these engines already use Vulkan instead of OpenGL, or that they can be configured to do so by the developer?
Is it an API akin to CryEngine/Unreal/Unity? If so, why is it better than the ones we already have? Google provided a lot of information, but I'd like a Cliff's Notes.
On top of the previous commenters re: the Middle East, there is also the fact that roughly half the aforementioned cops and the vast majority of aforementioned military come down squarely on the pro-gun side. If there ever (God forbid) were a violent conflict over the ownership of guns, it would not go the way you think it would.
OP here. The company turned a profit through continual, severe cost-cutting measures to keep it in the black. The last cost to cut was the building, and us.
What's better, revenue, or profit? I worked once for a shop that had profit every single quarter (and tidy bonuses for all of us under the sharing plan), right up to the day they laid us all off and closed down the shop.
And this time, don't check the "Enable Windows Customer Experience" box without knowing what it does. In fact, don't check any box you don't understand.
"Some people forget, that not everyone has a cushy job" neatly excludes your $1000 headphones. You have jumped into a discussion about the paucity of budget bluetooth headphones with irrelevant dick-strokery.
If you RTFA (I know, I know; I must be new around here), you'll see this is only for Private Mode, and leaves the domain portion intact. You can still see if they loaded from your domain.
Despite it's touted simplicity, Wayland lags behind X functionality in both network awareness and driver support, as well as still a slight lag in performance despite its purported closeness to the hardware compared to X. Am I misunderstanding something?

concerted campaign to discredit non-Trump candidates and promote Trump.
No, this shit started with the entire media (both wings, Fox, MSNBC, et al) working together to smear, minimize, and discredit all non-Trump candidates in the GOP primary. Fox, because, well, they're Fox; the rest because they thought Trump would be an easy win for Hillary in the general. Next time, don't "help" pick the GOP front-runner if you really don't want that person to win.

No one is still there from those days. At some point, you need to move on.
Wait until they hit ROT-26. I use it for all my Slashdot posts, and they're pretty much undecipherable.

And I've been harvesting Little Sisters for spare Adam!
I mean.... umm....
Yes. It's called Star Trek DS9.

I don't believe that, as I have never, ever seen the behavior described in the article.

That's great and all, but did you remember to grab legacy drivers for Voodoo3 and Aureal?
I guess I'll have to manually compile my own list...
I'm nowhere near the 1%, and I think I'm doing pretty okay. But then, I don't spend my life obsessing over how many toys people (that aren't me) have.

This isn't about getting into the censorship business. It's about obeying a court order. They do not have the option of demurring.
Well, if it's a "gringo" in Mexico, he's probably an American, so the analogy is even muddier.

I trust the developers to know better than the users when a rewrite is due
As a developer who has been on way too many misguided rewrite projects, I do not share this credulousness.
"Ugh, this code is so messy!"
"I know! Let's rewrite it!"
And thus we enter purgatory.

I proffered a reason that I believed fit the data, but I have to admit your reason is as good as mine.

Aiding and abetting the enemy is treason.
Settle down, Gen. Ripper; we haven't declared war yet. This is called "statecraft," and it's what countries do to each other every single day.
