This isn't true at all. Windows 10 has been mopping the floor with Linux in terms of game performance - this has been shown again and again with SteamOS. It's also why Vulcan is such a big deal - it has the potential to level the playing field for titles that embrace it.
If you strip everything out except the mainboard and the case (no cpu, no gpu, no ram, etc), you're still looking at $700. This is what they mean by "starts at".
No, South Korea doesn't want North Korea because then they'd have all the headaches of being bordered by China. North Korea is allowed to exist because it provides a buffer. All the reasons for the south not conquering the north are purely political and financial.
I wouldn't recommend iphones to anyone but certainly not for this reason. The whole notion of lumping Apple in with this classification of criminal is just batshit crazy.
You can build a piece of underperforming shit for $400 that you will spend the majority of your time swearing at. You can build an "ok" gaming machine (read: spend all your time at low to mid detail settings) for $800, but it won't be much better than a console.
In reality, unless you're willing to commit about $1000 to your gaming PC, you're better off sticking with a console. And you know what? There's nothing wrong with that. If someone is having fun on their console, mission accomplished. That's the objective in the first place.
Being a gamer just means you play games. Being a geek just means you have a love for understanding how something works. The platform you play your games on only defines this status if you're an idiot.
It's not that one can't give up coffee, it's that there's literally no reason to. Personally I love my coffee, and I hate how everyone is constantly trying to strip the things I love out of my life. It's too short for that nonsense.
Also, when I'm so old I can't get it up, or my looks go to shit - as will happen to us all at some point - I'll still have glorious coffee. I don't understand why we're all trying to live forever anyway. That's not happening. Plus, if it's taking any years off my life, it'll be the ones at the end - the ones where we have an impressive change of winding up as retirement home invalids. I'd honestly rather be dead than wind up like that anyway.
The problem with your argument is right now I can have both, and I don't see any reason to sacrifice either. So, while you're depriving yourself, I'll be getting the best of all worlds!
They'll require a PIN still, you'll just need to enter it on your phone. So even if the attacker has access to the software, they'll still have to figure out the PIN which will likely lock the account after too many tries.
Now it won't be their system which is insecure, it'll be your phone. This gives them another layer of defense against their often laughably bad security.
I thought there was a big call for Meyer's head on a plate a while back. Did that just disappear in to the woodwork? It does seem like a lot of the companies' failure can be traced directly back to faulty leadership.
Right, but also consider that all those things were far more expensive due to being relatively new technologies. You have to adjust for inflation to really get the whole picture comparatively.
As politically incorrect as this is, I gotta agree. It seems like families lasted longer and were generally happier. The reality today is that even if you wanted to maintain that model, inflation would make it very difficult for one person to carry two people on the average wage while still making enough for stuff like houses, cars, etc. I don't think it was just the family unit that was better off then, it was also the economics of the time meant the dollar went a lot further than it does today.
Trade-in programs are never worth it. They're always designed in favor of the house - you are much better off just selling your device on ebay, craigslist, or swappa.
Frankly I don't understand why people keep buying iphones. They're not the best devices on the block anymore.

That would be the fastest way to make them commercial failures.
> basically the same performance as on Windows.

I feel kinda bad about this, but part of me really hopes Zuckerberg is the one threat they actually follow through on.

It's cool that you got a box together but...
No display, no mouse, no keyboard. Re-evaluate. These are all necessary components, and should be included in any quoted price.

With his attitude I question whether he's either.

...must be time for a coffee break!
After enough sex you'll inevitably wind up having a child - that's around the time when you discover just how amazing unspillable sippy cups are.

She doesn't have a problem! She can quit crystal meth any time she wants!
Maybe you could start a movement to take that away from us along with everything else. I sure am looking forward to your safety scissors world.

They can push an update, but it won't actually apply until the user agrees to it. You have to be able to sign in to the phone to do that.
Because if you fail to enter the appropriate key too many times it locks down the device.

Yo Kanye, I’m really happy for you, Imma let you finish but TPB has one of the best torrent sites of all time!
