Seriously I have no sympathy for people that allow themselves to be walked all over, then complain about how their employer destroyed their life.
Y'all just need to grow a pair and remember that employment is a business contract between equals. Next time your employer asks you to do something unfair such as donate a bunch of unpaid overtime or work extremely excessive hours, just fucking say NO. Otherwise just shut up and take it like the bitches you have actively chosen to turn yourselves into.
When Bin Laudin knocked down the towers he also scared the country so much that the bill of rights is totally, permanently doomed.
By voting for people like Jeb Bush or any other person that uses fearmongering as a justification to dilute and remove constitutional rights, you're directly making Bin Laden's actions even more successful.
I'm VERY interested in Vulkan but my fear is that all the AAA developers other than Valve will just keep assuming DirectX-only even for new games development, mostly through an incorrect belief that they're not loosing sales by failing to support Linux.
I find it very frustrating that Bethesda especially keep plodding along on their own tired old windows-only engine instead of switching to, say UT4. Apart from the Linux-support-for-free that would bring, judging from what they showed at IGN the upcoming Fallout 4 would have looked graphically a whole lot better, instead of like a DLC pack for Fallout 3 (from 2008).
The big issue seems to be whether the benchmark is synthetic/representative or not, but since it is really just an early version of a real game that will be released next year I tend towards believing it is legit.
I REALLY don't like the UI of Windows 8.1. I think its completely unworkable. I use Linux for anything other than gaming, so I also don't care about Win7 EOL since it doesn't seem to stop you actually using the OS, just no more annoying alerts about ambiguous security patches that ususally don't actually anything relevant/significant anyway.
Would there be any noticeable benefit of WDDM1.3 over WDDM 1.1 if when just using Windows for gaming?
As a fairly hardcore gamer, DirectX 12 is the only reason I have (but its quite a big one) that i would switch to Windows 10, but reading over and over how badly Win 10 stomps all over users rights has me thinking even I can't justify selling out that much just for better graphics.
After reading even more today about exactly how shitty Windows 10 is, I've decided when I get home tonight I'm just going to delete the free Win 10 update iso I've already downloaded, and stick with Windows 7/DX11 and Linux for gaming from now on.
Microsofts greed and stupidity with Windows 10 has crossed the line, so there's even more of a reason now for the big PC game developers like Bethesda to finally get a clue and start making Linux versions of their games.
>> People who are still in their early careers don't realize how vulnerable they become when they get older.
As a 52 year old software developer I get what you are saying. The trick is to be in the right industry. All the young guns are mostly doing only web and web-related stuff because they think its cool. Just avoid that whole thing.
What helps is that those guys seem to be pretty much clueless when it comes to bare metal stuff like embedded systems and device drivers etc because it seems even in CS degrees these days they don't teach anything as low-level as C, let alone assembler or how computers actually work any more. It seems most of those guys are completely out of their comfort zone around any language/environment that doesn't have a garbage collector, isn't in a VM or container, can't be scripted and doesn't come with a massive app framework that includes giant libraries of helper functions to do all the actual heavy lifting.
OK some questions: What is the quality of the software and documentation they delivered like compared to what you would have gotten if it had been done in-house? What about the ongoing availability and cost of support for their software now it has been delivered? Is the cost of all the extra time, support, education/training, project management, trips etc that you/your company had to do because they are external/remote also factored into your total cost? Did you also calculate the cost of doing it in-house? If so how did that estimate compare to the actual total cost?
so if someome just steps off the pavement right infront of a car, close enough that the driver had no possibility of avoiding him, then its still the drivers fault?
Kinda like suddenly running into the middle of a busy road and getting hit by a car. Even though pedestrians have the right of way, any court of law would blame the pedestrian.
So there is a much better, more secure, more useable and more professional product out there than Microsoft Windows, and its even free (Gnu/Linux), yet many dumbasses still choose to buy and use Windows instead and also not even back up their files, even though Windows has a decades long history of being easily hacked and Microsoft has a decades long history of doing little to nothing effective about it. Any company that comes up with shit like UAC is very clearly clueless.
There must be some level at which you just have to say choosing Windows then becoming a victim to this kind of attack is pretty much self-inflicted.
I haven't played Wow for years. I decided it was ridiculous to continue since certain classes could/would just sneak up and stun you and keep you stunned for an entire fight, so the only option you had was to either sit there and watch them take their time kiliing you, or just log out and go do something else more fun, such as repeatedly bang your head on a wall.
That would be all well and great if I ever actually had the money to get my own custom house built from the ground up. Unfortunately I am a working schmuck so have the same affordable stucco box as everyone else in my street.
>> a couple hundred watts of solar or wind power can be plenty.
I live in Phoenix, AZ. yes we have plenty of sun year round, so you'd think it would be the perfect spot for solar but we have plenty of heat too.
It takes an awful lot of space and money's worth of solar panels and batteries to have the capacity to run a small-medium house's AC unit (4 ton). AC is a basic necessity here in the summer when it s 115+ degrees outside, and doesn't hardly drop at night so you need it on most of time when the sun isn't out too.
>> If there is a market for people who do not want such there will be cars available without such.
Not at all. In the US at least, government legislation, special interest groups like MADD and billions spent in advertising/brainwashing easily trump anything that goes against any mass-market convention, whatever it is.
>> Other than that, try to keep up. Maybe its actually you that needs to try to not be a dick.
They used the cheap $340 ethernet cable. They should have used the $10k one. Literally anyone can hear the difference with that one. i think its because it has electrolytes.
I just checked with GM customer service, But for one single exception, every GM vehicle made including every model GMC, Buick, Cadillac and Chevvy comes with OnStar and you literally cannot buy the car without it.
The one single exception is the 2015 base model Chevvy Colorado. Good luck finding a base model.

avoid all web work. Thats where all the young guns go because its what they all think is cool, even though its actually as boring as F.
what about putting
127.0.0.1 microsoft.com
in your hosts file? Would that work?

>> We need extra coders
Is it just me..or does anyone else also feel REALLY insulted when someone describes a graduate level software engineer's job as "coder"?
The first thing I thought of when I read this were the numbers that the Nazis tattooed prisoners in death camps with.
It amazes me how a politician would think its OK to even suggest this, and how he can even still keep his job.
