    I disagree.

    When people post mistakes or bugs on Steam I'm reluctant to use them in case Valve would decide to act against those who have abused the mistakes or bugs or whatever.

    If you let people keep the things and kinda "encourage" it then I wouldn't and I would try everything people posted but is that really a good thing for the company? I guess if they make sure to not make any mistakes ..

    How much energy does the entire process take? This is only cost effective if the total cost of the solution is small compared to the value of the oil/coal burned in the first place.

    I guess they could argue not if they use renewable energy.
    Then again if that one was exported or used up rather than fossil energy that would had been one (better?) solution.
    For a country (rather system since this could be a global matter) which mostly / only use fossil fuel then that's an interesting question of course.

  9. There are far better educational games. Minecraft is not educational. This actually distracts students from doing important things like learning to read, write, doing math problems, understanding scientific reasoning, and learning the scientific method. Maybe that's what passes for education in the US, but here in Europe, we're more concerned with the fundamentals.

    What has driving skills got to do with not wanting to possibly have your car run over by a huge fucking ship-style train?

    I think transportation should be solved in an individual way with light-weight vehicles instead but then again I'm from Sweden and not from China so the population density and size of the cities are different.
    I don't have the need for a train this size to go where I want to go. Something the weight of say a Segway or whatever would have much less kinetic energy and be safer for anything it run into and in a scenario where lots of people need to in the same direction in the same place they could easily communicate and keep track of each other and work as a united platform anyway (possibly with more of the risks again, as in being run over by 20 Segways =P)
    I guess it may be less energy efficiency than a train though, I don't know where from the energy efficiency of a train come if it's from less rolling resistance or simply more weight moved per surface area / air resistance (likely?) or what the "magic" is.

    A small vehicle for one person will of course be more efficient than a large one which just carry one person anyway though.

    Polaris 10 and Polaris 11 is specific GPUs and the only ones I've seen any rumors for.

    They aren't supposed to replace the Fury stuff, I would guess eventually the Fury stuff too would be replaced (with a HBM2 graphics card?) and eventually Vega till be released but for now it's Polaris and Polaris 10 is the best one of those and it's main-stream as you say and that's how it is.

    Of course the GTX 1080Ti will beat the GTX 1080 if one is ever released it's how it is and most people would expect that and you're free to buy a shittier card such as the Polaris 10 one - you're welcome.

    The GTX 980Ti is 7/8 the GPU of what the Titan X is with half the VRAM.

    GTX 980 in SLI beats the GTX 980Ti.
    Neither the GTX 980Ti or the Titan X is 70% faster than the GTX 980.

    The rumors / claims I've heard from AMD side is that Polaris 10 almost reach Fury X and 980Ti performance but at a lower price, so that would mean more in line with the GTX 1070 too me and not on level with GTX 1080. Also it's not intended to replace the Fury cards and there they just released the dual GPU one which DOES beat the 980Ti (but the question is how does it compare to a GTX 1080 and how well will it sell at $1500..?)
