Not too sure about that. It might compare to last gen, but that GTX 750 is middling, and would probably choke on some games coming out now (Witcher 3, e.g.), much less what's to come later in the current gen. It would probably play most games from 2014 back without blinking, though, kind of putting to lie the consolers' claim that you have to pay $1k+ for a gaming rig.
The old 660 Ti is starting to show its age, and I really wanted to play W3. =\ The damn video cards are still the beast of the cost, though.:P
There is basically no market for terminal/ssh clients
That's kind of depressing. I remember using one as part of a proprietary HIS system, back in the day. It had an cool scripting system (if it was scriptable in something that wasn't a cut-down version of VB, it would have been awesome) that could wait for output (like "expect"). I always hoped something like that would come out for general use, even if it was pay. Putty's minimalism is perfect 90% of the time, but it took the other 10% with it.
The most common complaint I heard was that, despite sharing some common proper nouns, it wasn't Star Trek. After seeing it, I see the point. It was like Galaxy Quest Jr, but without the self-awareness that it was a low-content parody.
I'm pretty sure that about the only thing he won't fuck-up about SW is turning it into the same "teenagers in space kaboom" that he made ST into, because he can't - that's what it was from the word "go".
Actually, it was the GIMP team themselves broke saving in 2.8. (If they've since fixed it, then sourceforge probably just doesn't have the updates).
Their GNOME-like "reasoning" was that "professional" users wanted to save in XCF, and that amateurs should just use something else. It rang pretty hollow when the gold-standard Photoshop didn't behave the same way.
What percentage of current-generation iPhones will be able to get the next 2-3 major releases?
~100%.
How many of those phones, after receiving 2 or 3 major releases, will be so buggy or sluggish as to be unusable? Considering the amount of bitching every time it happens, I'd say non-zero.
Because, about 60 years ago, Cornell had the brilliant idea to offer a degree in "Women's Studies", so that college could be both expensive *and* useless. The recipients thereof have since spent better than half a century driving the point that a vagina is a suitable substitute for competence.
And I bet they have vending machines full of broccoli that tastes like Snickers bars, give you plenty of time to spend your lunch hour petting the unicorn in the lobby, and have weekly employee poker games with Santa.
How do any volunteers who drive gas or hybrids get out of the paying gas tax, since they're paying the mileage tax? It's added right into the pump, yeah?

This $470 dollar pc would blow your console out of the water.

That depends on where you sit.
Sure, if you're sitting in a 4th grade classroom, it's probably gut-busting.
Righteousness does not excuse extremism.
True, but neither does it make "hurrr, this iz yoo"-type caricature "clever satire."
"Satire," sure. "Clever" is much too generous, though. Poe's Law doesn't even apply.

I think I just had a stroke...

a 50/50 chance that star wars VII could be pretty good...
For some extremely generous value of "pretty good" that can coexist in a context that contains JJ Abrams, maybe.

Leave the 1970s food pseudoscience where it belongs, in the 1970s.
Yeah, this is the age of the 21st Century food pseudoscience, damn it!
Why wouldn't you use broccoli to lose weight? It's one of the few healthy sides that even seem worth the trouble of eating, for me.

Sanitize a language people use for actual communication?
Yeah, not so much. It's bad coding because of a lack of sanitizing.
And that must be why there are more battered husbands shelters than battered wives shelters
Nah, that's just because feminists threaten violence and murder the dogs of people who try to open them
There also aren't any feminists...in burning buildings.
If the universe's well-noted sense of irony holds out, there may soon be.

Don't use Ghostery: They sell data to ad companies
Disconnect is one alternative.

Lucky bastard.

Bad move, Sweden. Now you're stepping on the USDOJ's winkie.
Looks like it's Popcorn Time!
Cool, it's gonna be a real life Borderlands!
Or just a mistake, which he acknowledged and thanked you for correcting. Twice.
And you guys were doing so well heading towards getting a "Reasonable Discussion on the Internet" medal, too.
They *still* haven't implemented compressed downloads. During the Alpha, that was understandable, but come on now.
Magog is an unofficial search engine for the gog.com catalog.
DRM-free is one of the fundamentals that people buy on G.O.G. for.
To play devil's advocate, so was the absence of regional pricing, and yeah, when they went back on that, there was a hell of a shitstorm.
It's almost like they even consider 11% too much... It's like they forgot why they forked to Firefox in the first place.
I'll miss "Password Maker" but I think it's really time for me to ditch it completely.
Does Chrome have anything like Firebug?
