    This 'blame chain game' inevitably leads to unchecked witch hunting. Do we blame Toyota for bank robberies when one of their cars are used? No. Do we blame Intel when one of their cpus is used in a 'hacking' crime? No. This is no different.

    It's a sad day when this kind of thing has to be explained to someone who reads a site like slashdot.

    That doesn't make it immoral. This is a case of opportunists making use of bad laws they likely lobbied for.

    Exactly. It exposes known vulnerabilities (at least to the author). Shutting these people down is just another form of security through obscurity.

    1. Affirmative action law affects quite a bit actually (eg how people are considered for job applications).
    2. 'hate speech' law and its hypocritical advocates who want to silence criticism of socjus as bigotry.

    Those people don't have to come here. For instance, they could go to Germany instead. If it's ok to target white men for 'privilege' because they're white and male, then it's perfectly ok to target people with muslim backgrounds for indications of terrorist involvement.

    The 'racist', 'nazi', and 'fascist' name calling got stale a long time ago, btw.

    Quit guilt tripping people with bullshit statistics and pretending the last 70 years didn't happen.

    ..and who decides who's a sociopath? The Local People's Social Justice Friendship House, which of course has absolutely no ideological bias against private business? I'll pass. It's just replacing one form of tyranny with another.

    There might be other solutions that could help. For example, if it is true that those companies are squandering large percentages of money on things like advertising, perhaps only allowing it to be funded from a set percentage of profits from sold product would be enough. This would hopefully limit the waste of research money on irrelevancies. While still not perfect, this is better than the witchhunt you suggested. Those never end well.

  10. The costs involved in their development.

    Ahh what? Law'n'order authoritarian loons like you can join the SJW left on clusterfuck island, where the would-be apocalypse is eternally televised. Meanwhile, the rest of us will watch from time to time to remind ourselves of what happens when liberty is trampled by the likes of such people.

    Yeah, that's fine, but your previous post suggested you were expecting to game with it so I tried to explain after you complained about UE4 not running well. The problem is that intel gpus do not have the raw fillrate (and possibly features) to run modern titles well at high resolutions.

    I agree they've improved their 3D support quite a bit over the 'intel media decelerators' of the 9xx series, but they don't compare to modern geforce or radeon gpus once you move up beyond bare budget (as you said many of those are based on obsolete designs). However, as the gp said, they still don't run modern engines very well at native resolutions for most panels.

  15. You're equating words with action, which is a common result of political indoctrination these days. Your generalizations and stereotyping are also incorrect. The stats are what keep the peace. They provide a quantifiable record of performance across different metrics so that player skill can be compared objectively. Only insecure sore losers create drama over that.

    The communities of competitive games that purposely don't keep score end up with the weakest players. The better ones move on to others which allow them to differentiate their skills.

  16. Interesting. So if those border people as you call them decide to bring guns to school and 'cleanse' it of those "tormentors," would you also consider it hygiene?

  17. Obviously, you have not thought through the implications. Who are you to define what defines others?

  18. No. Those movies and playacting provided an outlet for human nature, some of which is violent. Better than to bottle it up and unleash it in hs or as an adult.

    intel gpus were never really meant for gaming.. I don't know why you built a system to do it without an aftermarket gpu.

    No you're not. you could understand just right. What you are is stuck in a "we've always done it like this mentality"

    No, he's 'stuck' with enough understanding and life experience to realize that tradeoff is not worth the hollow convenience offered by most of these devices, especially when they're saddled with unnecessary 'cloud' integration.

  21. It's likely your HR dept is more concerned with meeting racial quotas than hiring on relevant attributes like reading comprehension. I didn't say that Infosys management shits on beaches. I said that Indians do. Public defecation is quite common there because they've got nowhere else to go. Companies that outsource to save money typically end up paying 'insource' consultants multiple times what they paid originally to clean up the mess.

    Like I said, try selling your overpriced services to people making $2/week and see how those sales figures look. If you're telling me you can find a glut of qualified workers in Mumbai while America is this barren wasteland of washouts, then move your whole operation there. What are you waiting for?

    Perhaps we should focus on why that is and fix it instead of opening the floodgates to people looking for quick handouts, people who hate everything our society stands for (or is supposed to stand for), and those who otherwise have no intention of integrating.

  24. Actually, I think we both understand it quite well. Thankfully, you are not the government. The problem with these faux bleeding hearts is that they're always justifying why the take needs to be a greater percentage than last year. Then they wonder why the jobs go over seas to shitholes with no human rights in the first place.

  25. False dilemma. Actually, what I said was I don't agree with using force. That is not equivalent to selfishness.

    Follow your own advice. If that's what you expect of others, go first. Show the world how it's done. Assuage your guilt at being 'rich'. Take the initiative and donate some large percentage of your future income to the relevant charities. I don't think you'd do it so why should anyone else?
