  1. Apparently, if you're just another talking head in a suit that needs to sound cool and in-touch, "disruptive" is now the goto buzz-word.

    I wonder how long it will be before it sounds just as cliche as "Synergy", "Leverage", "Win-Win", and "Outside the box".

    You're presumably paying a lot extra on the car price for for the amortized R&D costs and the cost of the hardware to even do this, but then you're still driving in all but name.
    Given most cars already have a cruise control, all it seems to be capable of doing is saving you the "extreme" (NOT) effort of having to occasionally turn the steering wheel, but it cant even do that all the time.

    Personally, I'd MUCH rather do without all that crap and just drive myself thanks.

    Scanning a planets atmosphere for breathability and detecting life signs? yes, but not whether someone was sick or not.

  9. Wake me up when RAM speed has any noticeable effect on real world performance.

    Besides,all they're doing to get this, is overclocking standard slower speed memory on a tester then binning the individual chips accordingly. You aren't getting RAM that was actually made to go this fast, whcih brings a LOT of reliability questions up.

    Personally I'd rather have good reliability than a slightly higher score on benchmarks that you'll never notice in real life.

    >> So there are only two courses of action

    Pretty much. Bombing or not is a boolean choice.

    Ineffectual? Really? I don't know for sure but since 59 Tomahawks will make more than a giant dent in anything, I think its reasonable to assume that every building at the airfield was levelled flat and the runway made totally inoperable. I mean are you aware of any more planes (even being able to) take off from there since, or Assad daring to commit any more sarin attacks at all?

    I promise I'm not intentionally trolling and am asking a sincere question:

    Which things are these? I can't think of a single one, at least that is great on their own merit (and not because of monopolistic marketing), and isn't done better by something free in Linux.

    But this isn't a new thing. Assad has a long history of using sarin and other chemical weapons such a chlorine gas against the rebels. If you put it into perspective its clearly Assad behind it, and the UN certainly believes it is, and has a moutning body of evidence to back it up from their on-site inspectors.

    >> just fucking kill them all already

    While I think you might have a good point about successive governments using the middle east as a distraction to the sheeple, I seriously don't think genocide is ever a good answer for anything. Apart from anything else, sinking to their level turns you into one of them, and gives them what groups like ISIS have really been trying for all along: Finally achieving real justification for attacking the USA.
    Look all through history: It shows time and again that doing evil shit like attempting to commit genocide never works and always backfires. That was just one of Hitler's biggest mistakes. Also a much more recent example is that of Radovan Karadzic.

    So if it was you as president, you would have just sat this one out, and further demonstrated that the UN Security Council has literally no teeth to hold Assad to earlier legal rulings to not use chemical weapons on his own people, or to be accountable for even the most brutal atrocities, and just let those poor people continue to suffer?
    So tell me, what contorted logic do you use to square that position with the Socialists/Democrats repeated claims of actually being the only humanitarian party of the people?

    Your level of paranoia is off the charts with your last post.

    I find it interesting how even most dems have had to finally face reality and admit that Trump being Putin's best friend and put in power by him to now looks like a clearly ridiculous argument.

    So I guess you guys had to come up with something/anything new, no matter how obviopusly stupid/paranoid it is, just to try and keep making him out to be the bad guy. Even though bombing Syria is actually what your heroes want: Obama wanted to do it after the previous Sarin attack (but didn't have the balls) and this is also what Hillary has actually been pushing for in the last few weeks.

    >> if Assad realized that Putin did it to provoke the American reaction, then he'd have to be a real idiot to buy more weapons from Putin.

    Given Russia is probably the only country that will (openly) sell arms to Assad, he probably has no choice. Assad is probably not an idiot but he's certainly a hardcore psychopath, so a great repeat customer for more arms.

    I totally agree with you.
    It seems to be that at least 90% of all AAA video games are just small variations on moving round a map, using weapons to kill opponents.

    I personally don't believe that there are significant negative psychological effects, I'm just depressed that there isn't more creativity or choice in the entire gaming industry than just repeatedly banging out the same formulaic crap with different graphics. It seems almost as as bad as Hollywood and their use of about 4 templates for literally every movie plot line.
