191: And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- îaram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers. 192: And if they cease, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 193: Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] worship is [acknowledged to be] for Allah. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors. 194: [Fighting in] the sacred month is for [aggression committed in] the sacred month, and for [all] violations is legal retribution. So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you. And fear Allah and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
Gee, and that's why the G20 summit secret law and TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) were held in the open, right?Oh, wait,they're weren't until WELL after the fact.
The cable companies aren't run by idiots. They know they have a monopoly and that NetFlix is disruptive; the problem is that their business model is found on an archaic principle:
Cable: Push - until DVR came along, programs get scheduled to you -- take it or leave it Netflix: Pull - watch what you want, when you want.
The long term problem is that none of the cable companies know how to be economical profitable as they transition from a hardware to a service orientated business -- just look at their own lack of fiber deployment plans. The other monkey wrench is that no one really has a clue what the next generation of TV watching entails -- aside from some sort of Video-On-Demand IP Streaming. This is a huge issue WRT to how advertising and licensing works which ironically everyone knows the Neilson ratings are complete bullshit -- but they [Neilson ratings] are so ingrained that no one wants to switch to a different model.
Oh bugger off. I'm a die-hard Apple ][ fan and I even have to admit that what the demo-scene has done with the C64 is nothing short of amazing -- although I do have to point out that the Apple ][ demo's will switch video modes mid-scanline; giving the C64 scene a good run for their money!
There are many things modern Science / scientists are ignorant about. Whiteholes, the 6 fundamental forces (strong intergalactic and weak intergalactic), Life all over the universe, hell, let alone life in our (own) solar system.
Your fallacy is assuming Science is the only way of knowing truth. Science, the CCW system, only removes falsehood. The polar opposite CW system adds truth and is not based on proof.
You're like a blind man asking for proof of color -- the only valid proof is experience. You'll get your answer in ~2022.
Until then, the question you should be asking is not "Prove how you know these things?", but one of yourself: "Why don't I (yet) know what others know?"

I upgraded from a Phenom II x4 965 BE o/c @ 3.5 GHz to an i7-4770K o/c @ 4.0 GHz. I still need to pick up a FX-8350 BE for testing my game so your comments about the FX-8120 are intriguing.
- intrinsic (like metals or silicon because of how they can be used) - extrinsic (because of greed of an artificial market, like diamonds)
The medium is irrelevant -- be it physical or digital. Why do you think some people pay hundreds of dollars for a digital weapon? Because they have more money then time and want it "now."
Never underestimate the price some people put on greed.

Pointing out the stupidity of the barbaric Quran is not hate speech, it is information about facts to overcome ignorance and spiritual immaturity:
Quran (2:191-193)
This is just _one_ example.

Agreed -- definitely a great version.

FTFY SCEA / Sony was in the red for 4 years due to the high cost of the hardware.

I guess the proof is that Windows 95 copied Apple's Mac OS.

So how's that:

- $2 billion investment into Xbox
working out for them?
Why does *anything* have 'value' ?
It can be either:
