Yup. Sad. It's too bad most people don't realize the implication: It basically means the lives of this generation are going to end in misery, and subsequent generations will have to dig their way back out again.
Basically means "Framing the narrative" which is the foundation for successful newspeak. This is an attempt to control the base from which relative judgments are made by the public. No thanks.
1. demoscene - breakage everywhere 2. game titles a few years old 3. anything that's not a game, even things like game map editors, tends to break, especially in opengl land. nvidia handles them fine, on geforce or quadro. 4. video playback causing bsods.. 5. shitty linux support, though it's nice they're opening up the specs.
Nope.. unless of course you define 'shitty user' as someone who chooses to run something besides the latest 3 games the installed drivers were 'optimized' for, at the expense of compatibility with everything else.
When you are talking about my data, I have every right to decide whether you can see or hear it. It is your attitude of entitlement that makes me always have second thoughts about putting anything on the web. Most people are reasonable, decent people who appreciate the service. Some think they have a right to demand it.
The problem is that people such as yourself often think that the presence of your data on someone elses machine somehow gives you the right to install invasive DRM software in an attempt to get their machine to do your bidding instead of the owner's. That is also an unacceptable sense of entitlement.
I'm sorry, but the reality is that people are going to have to accept that data cannot be controlled remotely forever. Once the data is recorded and someone else gets a copy, it's only a matter of time before it gets decrypted/distributed. The more interesting the data, the shorter the time involved. The only solution that offers certainty of control is non-distribution. If you can't make money this way, it's time to find a new job.
Make sure you mean what you say. Tea party != libertarians for years now, so if you meant the libertarians, you're wrong because they would never support government coverups. Unfortunately the leftist lamestream media has the tendency to paint the tea party and libertarians with the same brush as an ad hominem attack on the latter. Gotta keep that control over the narrative after all.
No, see, the thing is, your feelings are supposed to be your responsibility, not the group's. If you're 'offended' like that, to the point where you want to sue people and/or get that person's employer to fire him/modify his behavior for you, you are the one with the problem. These entitlement attitudes bred into the culture from political correctness confuse the issue and the definitions of these words for a lot of people. Young people today suffer from this a great deal more than the previous generations, as recent as the 1990s.
No, the phrase "I'm not comfortable" is newspeak for "I am a timid coward who wants others to limit the diversity around me to acceptable parameters". In this case, diversity of thought and expression. You don't have to agree with everything others said, and you're welcome to voice your displeasure, but if you 'feel uncomfortable' on a regular basis just because of what others said, the weakness is you, not them.
Yay a linus-is-mean bandwagoneer.. Good, stay away. No one wants your simpering spineless entitled twatlike attitude. Whatever talent you have is lost when it's submerged beneath all that effeminate bitchiness.
However, if you have a modicum of self respect and like programming C you should give it a shot.. If your patches are good and you aren't a blowhard, linus will never yell at you. In fact, you probably won't even interact with him until you've been involved for a bunch of years. Newbs talk to people further down the tree. Linus only yells at self-important passive aggressive blowhards who push their politically correct agendas instead of getting work done, or just when someone high up is wrong technologically (happens VERY rarely). The thing with sarah sharp was one such instance of the former, and the guy who broke userspace was an instance of the latter...and nvidia? well, they deserve it, esp for what they're doing to linux in embedded space.
No true scotsman... Seems like most socialist governments cross the corruption line pretty quickly.. This is because too much power is centralized in one place. In fact, one thing keeping the USA from collapsing into a venezuela tomorrow is the fact the power is distributed across the fortune 100, which are hashing it out with the federal government with the left hand while shaking hands with the (neo)right.
Whether they are or are not is a separate issue from whether the government should be involved in (re)distributing/forcing its preferred option at taxpayer expense.
and arson was pointing out that people like chavez are the result of socialist/government corruption gone too far... and the majority of libertarians do NOT take fox news seriously. The ones who do are the neo-conservatives.
I do. The browser should not be scriptable, period. Whatever dynamic generation is needed should be done on the server. If you want an interactive application, build executables for the target. Fuck SaaS.
Assuming the right libraries are available, today's 3.12 kernel can run a binary compiled under 2.0 from 1997. ABI compatibility is maintained for userspace. It's only in kernel space where the ABI is not guaranteed. Some think a lack of kernel ABI is bad, but it's good because it encourages hardware manufacturers to gpl2 their driver instead of releasing binaries that make porting and debugging difficult. It also makes them rethink hiding their design secrets in the driver instead of on the device or its firmware.
It's not 'free'. You pay for it. Is it a good deal? You might think so. What about the people who don't? Why do swedes come to the US for complicated procedures? Because the waiting lists can be months long in sweden. Not so here...at least not yet. The jury's still out on obamacare.
The cost of that downtime gets wrapped into the costs of the goods and services your employer provides since they cannot legally doc your paycheck (I assume). It is not free. The problem is that someone else is deciding what you need and how much you should pay for it. Some of this might be warranted, but I think it's going way too far when governments attempt bans or taxes on anything and everything that might cost these forcibly imposed state run programs money. I like deciding my own cost/benefit analyses. I can't do that when I'm tied down by the 'needs of the many' in ever growing numbers of cases.
Your statements about political correctness are examples of 'framing the narrative.' Speaking out against people who want to kill you because you happen to be the target their religion dictates as the enemy is not 'inciting hate,' nor is tolerance the same as never challenging peoples' convictions in ways that might upset them. Even the term 'inciting hate' implies that the speaker is responsible for others' feelings when every adult is supposed to be responsible for their own feelings and actions. This discourages people from growing some thicker skin (IE true tolerance) for opinions that are different from theirs and makes them dependent on government to be their 'big brother' and protect them. Lack of skin also makes them more likely to lash out irrationally when exposed.
I think most people misunderstand equality thanks to the newspeak definition thrown around by politicians. Equality is supposed to mean equal access to opportunity along with responsibility. Unfortunately, most left wing definitions have a rather lopsided distribution. Once it decides who is the oppressor and who is the oppressed, it encodes gross assumptions into the legal code, leaving the 'oppressed' with most of the benefit, and the 'oppressors' with most of the responsibility regardless of the individual situation. This is identity politics at work. The lawyers pouring out of the left-indoctrinated ivy league universities are already tainted before they serve their first days on the job which ensures that the law will never be free of bigotry.
why should I keep it to myself? Because you don't agree with it? The left are all about tolerance and 'diversity' until someone challenges them on the logic behind their ideology. Then they become as dogmatic and censorious as the westboro baptist church would love to be if it had the power. I am open minded enough to consider new (and in this case, not so new) ideas, but I also try to stay grounded enough to evaluate them as objectively as I can. I realize most europeans don't really understand america either, but that doesn't stop them from passing judgments and spewing criticisms...and that's fine.
Gee guys there's just a little more to it than free this and free that.. It comes at a heavy price: 75% tax, the criminalizing of 'politically incorrect' speech as 'hate,' and, handing out favors to specific groups based on arbitrary attributes under the guise of 'equality.'
Sweden has some cultural issues to work out too. The PC is so bad there that swedes who vocally or politically defend their native cultures (from say islamic 'immigrants') are branded as fascist, nationalist bigots. Men there are treated like shit in divorce proceedings, in fact in any proceeding that involves conflict with women. There's a reason the US used sweden as the place to get julian assange up on fake sexual assault charges... basically there's little jurisprudence and it would've been a nice easy way to grab him and get him extradited.
Yeah, the USA has problems, and has fallen far from the ideals of its constitution, but for the moment, I'd rather be here than any of the 'People's Republics.'
1. The AV quality would be inferior in framerate and image quality, as would the gameplay, even in single player. The lag would be atrocious. 2. There's the xbl/psn subscription, then there's the game publisher subscription that pays for their banks of servers, then there's the $60 game price on top of that.
It's not really that great a deal for the consumer, but it does give the publishers total control over your access to the game you purchased.
The physics stuff is done on the server. The non interactive animations are done clientside. However, the clients have code to anticipate the server's next state, 'correcting' itself when the prediction fails to match. This results in smoother animation and reduced apparent lag.
There's a reason I've cut cable tv from my life. Being remote controlled and the only game in town, it's become overpriced, ad-laden, and content thin. If that's where gaming is going I will have to cut that too. The prospect of overpaying to 'stream' a laggy, ad-filled game experience with overly-constrained lossy-compressed AV doesn't sound inviting either. I LIKE the idea of having power under the hood locally, so to speak, just like I want server binaries for games to run my own servers and mod tools to make my own mods/maps. This way the game stays alive as long as there are interested players and doesn't die the moment it stops making money for its creators. To top it off, the current 'cloud' model for a lot of software now charges the 'owner-controlled boxed software' prices of the 90s for what amounts to a rent-a-go arcade level of service. What a rip-off.
The more computing looks like ibm's wet dream of 'service', the less interesting and more oppressive it gets. No thanks.

Even before industrialization, when humans were nomadic, eating was earned through back breaking labor.. so no, it's not a 'fundamental right.'
It does affect the overall cost to all of us, so it isn't just "personal choice".
Only because the state is slowly but surely removing all other options (obamacare is only the first step).
The NSA is supposed to spy.. just not on civilian americans.
