No, he didn't agree with you. You're basically just too ignorant to understand what is being said because you think you already understand how it works when you obviously don't.
My explanation was greatly simplified and geared towards basic understanding - the others here have done an excellent job expanding on what I said. My point was not "horseshit" - it simply wasn't as specific as the answer could get. I was right not to bother too - given your responses to the science lesson going on here it would have been a waste of time.
You're an idiot, and you'll remain an idiot until you start to learn the fundamentals of the topics you're trying to discuss.
Every console uses AMD not because it's the performant choice, but because it keeps costs down and console margins are narrow. Pound for pound there is no comparison between AMD and Intel. Intel wipes the floor with them.
At the end of the day if performance matters you don't buy AMD.
"We've stopped deceptive advertising and infecting you computers with adware/malware not because it's the right thing to do, but because it doesn't make money anymore".
AMD has been in trouble for a decade now. On one side they've been getting their ass consistently handed to them by intel. On the other, there's nvidia.
Microwaves do not "destabilize atoms". They heat water by agitating those specific molecules. The heated water in turn cooks food. The real problem is you think you know more than you actually do.
"Because of large scale collusion in cartells like OPEC which however only happens within a single product. Natural gas prices are radically different from oil prices."
Yes, that's exactly my point, except that it doesn't happen with just a single product. People have it in their heads that companies exist to provide value to the consumer, but companies see it as being the other way around. Prices are not about what gives the consumer the best value, they're about what the market will bear. So when the high end of the market is raised, the low end of the market is typically also raised. We're seeing this with all kinds of things, from food to medical supplies. If you're not raising the price of your product to what the market will bear you're losing profits. Carbon taxes on oil-based fuels WILL raise the price of everything else along with it. It's a zero-sum game for companies that ultimately only hurts the consumer.
If Natural gas was as big as oil is, you'd see the same thing. If renewable energy starts to approach the same usage levels as oil, you'll also see the same thing. Smaller companies will be bought out by larger ones, and eventually prices will be fixed just like they are for oil.
"No that world doesnt exist now and its impossible for it to ever exist"
Yes, that world exists right now, and you're seeing it in many places without realizing it. This is very basic economics.
That "bizarro" world already exists. There are several companies "competing" in the oil market, and yet gas prices are reasonably consistent across the board. Why do you think that is?
Because it's not hard to see that the difference between "he" and "she" is one letter. Given the context it's not a big leap to come to this conclusion. The fact that you can't make such a basic connection says more about you than it ever will about me.
Two people sell items that solve the same problem, both are $1. The government steps in and decides one needs to be taxed a dollar while the other does not. Now you have two items, one at $1 and one at $2. The $1 item is now free to raise its price either slightly below or at the $2 item as it's competition is no longer limiting it.
So now you have one product at $1.95 and one at $2. This is the problem with carbon tax - if you raise the cost of gas you give competing technologies such as solar or wind the green light to also raise their prices.
By your logic gun makers should be sued for every gun-related death ever.
Fork makers should be sued for every fork-related injury ever.
Glue makers should be....
Are we getting the point here? Where do we draw the line? Where do we start saying "you know, this person is a fucking idiot doing something dumb" instead of "lets sue random company who had zero to do with the incident"?
So, because I made a minor typo, the entire message was lost on you? God damn you're a fucking idiot. Let me spell it out: Snapchat isn't forcing you or anyone else to make bad decisions. If you make a bad decision that's on you and nobody else.
It's time for people to start taking responsibility for their own actions. Reasoning like yours is fucking retarded beyond all reason or logic. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what he was doing was dangerous.
AppleTV used to do this to my TV shows as well. The fact that apple doesn't allow you to redownload a purchase from their store is the reason I stopped using them entirely.
"Proprietary JavaScript is a threat to all users on the Web."
This is just sensationalist bullshit of the highest order. Trashdot strikes again.
Minification is just striping out everything that isn't strictly needed to make the code run and shrinking it so it takes less time to transport. The only way this is a threat is if you have a fear of text editors.
...but if it's full of ads like regular network television the answer will be no. I don't understand why it's acceptable to pump something full of ads when I'm already paying for it.
No, they are not. Try to keep up. Colonialism is when one political power establishes itself in another country that is not its own. This process may include inequality towards one or more indigenous peoples but it doesn't need to, that's just historically the by-product. Colonialism does not specifically imply "white privilege".
In fact you see the same thing happening all over with non-whites. East Indians do it all the time. So do the Chinese. They move to a country in large numbers, congregate in specific areas, and then exert political and cultural influence.
...and what is America mostly comprised of? Europeans who colonized America. Don't feel bad though, Canada is pretty much the same in that regard.
But really, colonization and white privilege are not the same thing, so your pseudo-intellectualism falls on its face. "White Privilege" hasn't been an actual problem in Canada or the US for decades but a few special interest groups want to keep it alive because it grants them privileges most of us don't have.

No. It has no issues in Windows. I think the article is fake.
"We've stopped deceptive advertising and infecting you computers with adware/malware not because it's the right thing to do, but because it doesn't make money anymore".
Yes, absolutely they matter. Especially with 4k starting to become a serious contender to 1080 in the PC space.

So ask yourself, why doesn't this work with gas anymore?

OK, you cost just doubled. What now?
Obviously you don't remember what happened very well if you think what they gave us was seen as reasonable at the time.
I remember when people said that about XP. Yet, here we all are.
It does. When it blows clouds in the way. Additionally wind kicks up sand which tends to coat everything in a desert.
