    For games sure, but there are lots of workloads that are not games.

    $1000? You can beat the consoles for less than $500.
    If you keep your old case and dvd/bluray drive you can do even better. I tend to swap out MOBO, RAM, CPU and GPU in one shot every few years. I have not had to do this since I picked up my GTX465.

    The consoles are holding gaming so far back there is no point in spending even $1000.

    I disagree, it took one for a good reason and the last statement is reality not that the law can do that.

    I have heard that answer, but as it is unconstitutional I am not sure I can accept it. Why has no enterprising lawyer used this to have his client freed based on this?

    Why not?
    We needed one to ban Alcohol, was that previously separately protected somewhere in the constitution?

  7. Re:America is fucked ... on DEA Argues Oregonians Have No Protected Privacy Interest In Prescription Records · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The moment they started.
    It took a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol. Where is the one that bans any other drugs or enables the DEA?

  8. Re:Valve/Steam on NVIDIA Begins Releasing Documentation For Nouveau · · Score: 1

    I find the former to be very anti-freedom and user-hostile. The latter is pro freedom and user friendly, while being third party developer hostile. The user's freedom simply matters more.

    They can't ship the OS with them. Even Ubuntu installs them separately later.

    What do you expect, this guy works in a video game store? We are not talking about the cream of the crop here.

    Then I don't see what was that challenging vs a very small map using the same software.

    Why can't this be done programmatically?
    At least for the terrain from topo maps?

    What is wrong with drugs exactly?
    Is alcohol also bad? What about caffeine? For a great many drugs it appears the only problem with them is that possession can get you arrested. The solution then is to make them legal and educate people about responsible use.

  16. Re:Seems a bit out of date on Book Review: Citrix XenApp Performance Essentials · · Score: 1

    Not as of XenDesktop 7. You setup your storefront and mangement servers, you install the xendesktop agent on the Windows RDS server and away you go.

  17. Re:Seems a bit out of date on Book Review: Citrix XenApp Performance Essentials · · Score: 1

    XenDesktop 7 does that too. XenDesktop 7 does everything XenApp ever did.
    Your new licenses will at some point be XenDesktop only.

    Shared hosted is available with XenDesktop 7. It literally is exactly what XenApp used to do.

    How so?
    I think it says more about how far right the USA has slid. Even our furthest left politicians would have trouble being elected outside some pretty extreme foreign governments.

    The delay over 1GB copper from office/closet to living room can't be that much.

    XenApp is basically dead, XenDesktop 7 does everything it did and what Xendesktop always did. So maybe this book is a little behind the times.

    Keeping meego and going forward with that might have actually got them somewhere. They had the resources just fine, until they fired them to keep the books looking a little better for a few months.
