they could introduce killing civilians in video games in an "ethical" manner. Just set the rules that if you kill a civilian it will either immediately or eventually negatively impact your game. e.g. some time later in the game when you are found out, your player is executed for murder.
The Iraqi and Afghani (heck, even Vietnam) wars should have taught you that not everyone who looks like a civilian is Joe Farmer who wants nothing more than to tend his garden.
If you insist on a citation, just look at Apple. They produce in low volume, charge a high fee and make a large profit because their customers believe they make a superior product.
Like the world-conquering FireWire?
Oh, wait. That's a dismal failure because Apple charged too-expensive license fees so the technically way inferior USB conquered the world...
The $30-35 fanless 8400GS and GeForce 210 cards require it, but there are still lots of 5 year old motherboards used in semi-embedded systems which can't use them
we just can't manage to get you people to migrate to more modern hardware.
In my situation at least, that unmodern hardware: a) works, b) is paid for, c) is stable, and d) most importantly, is embedded into a laptop motherboard.
The issue is that many, many wives look askance upon buying new laptops and throwing out perfectly functioning kit just because newer s/w doesn't support it.
If your using 13-year old cards in your system, you're probably not running the latest software anyway.
The complete wrongness of your absolutely foolish assertion is demonstrated by the fact that I run up-to-date Lubuntu on an 8 year old Sharp Actius AV18 (laptop w/ 768MB RAM and ProSavage8 video). Chrome and AbiWord are very responsive.
don't block most websites? It's because: a) it's a form of centralized control and stifles employee creativity, research and, as the article states it, employee innovation
What innovation is there in watching/Desperate Housewives/ at abc.go.com, playing flash games at one of the jillion on-line game sites out there or catching up on baseball scores at espn.go.com?

In games I just want to be able to kill people without feeling guilty or sadistic.
Isn't that pretty much the definition of sociopathic behavior?
Note the use of the phrase "in games". That pretty much indicates that OP knows and respects the difference between game and reality.
Thus, not sociopathic.
And it doesn't have scalar data types. What fscked up RDBMS doesn't have *integers*?
Vital preliminary questions:
So what is evil then if not the lack of care?
While that *sounds* so enlightened and profound, it's just about the most screamingly brainless question I've heard in a month.
um uyanna fries with fat?
No, I want potato strips deep fried in lard.
And "infact", and starting sentences with lower-case.

Similar to the old DIP that chips were packaged in back in the 70s and 80s.
What's that whooshing noise that just blew over your head?
not know what they had cracked and how useful it was?
Except that portable grills are not "conventional vehicles".
And what educated person would want to spell it as an "Anglicized" word?
All of them...
Some examples:
There are *lots* more.
It's a terrible idea cuz sometimes you WANT to spell things wrong, dig?
Where did you see some mandate that the patches be accepted?
AC saying "fucking terrible idea" w/o saying *why* it's a terrible idea is grounds for -1, Troll.
And how many of those semi-embedded systems need to render 3D graphics?
Because this post refers to MythTV, XvMC and PVR-350. Semi-embedded, not using 3D graphics but more than just 2D.
How long has PCIe 2.0 been out? 4 years?

Oh, wait... 3D support.
Never mind.

I was talking way back when.
You do realize that OpenVMS and z/OS are still alive and kicking, right?
So we now have one huge network of computers running an OS that was never really meant to be secure being run by a huge number of amateur sys admins.
Gotta agree 100%.
VAXen running VMS
Alphas and Itania. Note, though, that VMS was a favorite hackers platform in the 1980s.
and IBM 390s
System Z.
"The Cloud" = dumb terminals. I'm 23 and know that.
I'm 47 and know that "dumb terminal" means that code *only* runs on the host, whereas "The Cloud" is yet another incarnation of client-server.
