unless you want to read on the computer or print it out
I'd like to add that printing out most books cost more in paper/ink(toner) than actually purchasing the book. I have bought books if for only this reason (I hate reading on any screen). Perhaps, at least for now, this is the advantage to not pirating a book.
While this "loophole" seems bad on the surface, maybe it isn't. If corporations are considered people, perhaps we can start locking them up/shutting them down when they are breaking the law... you know... just like everyone else.
Look at it from a technical standpoint. They probably expected people (however wrongly) using PhysX to be doing so for games while using their card to render also. Throw a third party bit of hardware in there, and when the inevitable crash and burn go down, who is to blame? They don't know either... so they "solve" the problem by keeping you from ever being able to expose it.

What boggles me is people like you just ACCEPT this... like it is ok. It isn't ok. It's fraud. Nothing can or will be done until you stop bending over and taking the whole broomstick.
Well, this is looking at it with rosey glasses on, but, I think the idea is "We made a mistake! We shouldn't have all of these nuclear weapons! We should have known better, but we didn't! Now learn from our lessons... nothing good comes from this."
I don't know why this isn't obvious to more people... needs are secondary to wants. You need to play a game because you want to not be bored. You want to be mentally occupied/stimulated. You eat because you want to live and you want to not feel hunger pains. Just like every want, given the right conditions, your wants can change.
Yeah. Now imagine that situation where you boss is a salesman/the owner and has never written a line of code in his life. All of a sudden all problems become "You didn't put in enough effort" and any kind of attempt at reasoning the situation becomes "excuses".
This seems to be the usual thing with other browser benchmarks too, they only benchmark the javascript engines and similar under the hood things.
Nonsense. Aside from the retrieval of a page, rendering said (static) page will be instant in almost all cases, regardless the browser. If it doesn't, either the page is way way way too complicated or you are using an antiquated machine.
So... when benchmarking a web browser, the only real target to measure is javascript performance.
Reminds me of that fatal birth defect where a kid is born without the top of their skull so it doesn't form all of the brain, but enough for them to cry, smile, etc and causes people serious emotional stress because it appears to be cognition when it's not.
It breaks my heart just thinking about being in that situation. To love someone so much and for you to find out that they can't love you back... and what you thought were the most special moments of your life were all a lie.
Why would you expect anything other than the cops to show up? I can pretty much guarantee that the ratio of legitimate patrons who walk around inside the average bank with a ski mask on, to how many ski mask wearing folks actually (tried) robbing a bank, it would be something like 1:10000000000000000000000000000000000000000.
I wish! I'm more than twice that! I posted anonymously on slashdot for years until it started getting retarded, so I "had" to create an account, so I could persist the options to make it suck less.

It irks me how much Microsoft and Google products depend on Windows components.
So you are saying reinvent the wheel? Don't use the system resources at your disposal? Should we just all go back to DOS way of doing things?
I think they're just trying to capitalize on the face the code is open-source
What the hell is wrong with that? Better than trying to make a profit from stomping bunnies! Think of the children!

"Too big to fail" you say? If we keep treating the situation like this, the problem will never get fixed.
How is this different than having to give up a DNA sample when you are a suspect of a murder?
How about this... don't share files you have no legal right to share.

Far out man.

Sometimes it is better to admit you are stupid and ask for help, than to just flounder away and get nothing done.

Does the iPhone have many (any?) games that aren't of the simple silly cellphone variety?
Myst for the iPhone
Windows Mobile and "Desktop" Windows are completely different products/code bases. The only thing they share is a name and some user space libraries.

Or... there is a mass we don't know is there. The universe tends to be a lot simpler than we try to make it.
Every time someone finds something that Einstein "may have gotten wrong", we just end up with more evidence that he was right.
Personally, I don't believe in something like gravitational waves, but I'm more inclined to trust his intelligence more than mine.
The major difference is due to the fact that it's an M$ product it's APIs aren't open
Is that so?
they're buggy and overall the devices run slower and are less customizable.
Care to share an example? Sounds like you have plenty... or are you just recycling wrong, out-of-date groupthink?
It is now
Their meat tasted like ass and was somewhat less edible.
Really? Is that why we ate them into extinction?

Now get off my concrete porch!
