Hearsay is, after a while of using your engine to burn vegetable oil, you wind up with a car totally clogged with the same yellow crap you find all over everything in your average commercial kitchen - you can't even get it off with a Brillo pad.
That might be a huge lie for all I actually know about it.
hey've been using standard components as long as I've been buying from them. (Since about 2002.)
You started at just the right time. Dell stopped using proprietary power supplies about the time they started using black-and-purple cases.
New they just lock you in with proprietary front panel headers on some models. I called Dell. They won't tell you the pinout. You have to buy a $90 power button and cable from Dell if you mess up the power switch.
You're probably correct about the Gimp being good stuff these days, but I'm concerned about your logic.
"If you're pointing out the flaws of my product, my product must be almost as good as yours" is a thought-terminating argument.
Why'd you buy it in the first place? Weren't they pretty up front with both of these facts from the get-go?
You have made a mistake. This is not a rationality contest. What you're arguing with is a (presumably truthful) answer to the question "Why did you cancel your Warhammer Online Subscription?"
But hey, why pass up a good opportunity to be a snot?
And whose rights under copyright, patent, and trademark Lenovo bought.
Lenovo has no model 5150. That was only sold branded IBM, ever. When people talk about being "PC compatible", they are not talking about IBM PCs in general. They are talking, specifically, about only one model. Lenovo has no reasonably-applicable relationship to this.
That's because a large portion of the people who build their own computers have no sense of proportion, and assume that they need way too much hardware.
Building a computer to competently play video games costs about $500 plus software. For $1000 you can get an insane gaming rig that could do bloody anything. Yet people spend much, much more than that. Morons, I tell you.
No. The PC architecture isn't designed to be compatible with something branded Lenovo. It's compatible with the IBM PC model 5150, designed by IBM and sold starting in 1981. The original doesn't really exist any more.
I've started asking "Is your computer a Mac or does it run Windows?" Most people can give a useful answer to that question, and the one in 1000 that runs Windows on their Mac will definitely have the brains to say "Actually, I have Windows running on my Mac".
Or, if you want to have a memorable conversation, ask "Do you use a Mac or a real computer?"
I accidentally said that once, no insult intended. I'll let you guess how that turned out.
Since the W is descended from Omega, it's pronounced a bit like Aw.
I'm curiws abwt that. Can you tell me more?
Wlso, I'm tempted to pronwnce RWM as "roohm".

He didn't need to mention that. For every technical discussion, there's always some freak with a special case. You know damn well emulation wasn't what he was talking about.
Reminds me of a discussion I was having circa 2003, explaining that Windows XP does not have a DOS backend you can boot into. The freak of the day decided to join the conversation and say "No, you're wrong. I was able to boot into DOS using a floppy disk from Norton!"
Sometimes I think the true hobby of most computer hobbyists is trolling.

PC compatibility. Write once for Steam on the PC, utilize for Steam on the Mac.
Your general point is mostly correct, but I suspect you are confusing the Steam platform with the Source engine.
If you read the guidelines, you learn that ganes on the Mac Store *cannot be shooters at all*. I don't think Valve is a target here.
No, the repository operators do not keep 30% of all platform revenue.
I was thinking of >45mpg that many Europeans have access to.
Simple answer: Americans wants their cars to do all of the above and also be powerful. That one requirement blows the whole project to smithereens.
I think it may be because piston engines go "ch-ch-ch-frum" and turbines (usually) go "whoooooooOOOOOOOaaaaaaAAAAAAeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEE..."

asking that is like asking what your wife charge to sleep with you?
You send your kids a bill when they want to have dinner with you?
Jesus christ man. Your prorities may need a relook. Just saying.

My followup question is, are you asking for an answer to your question, or are you attacking the OP? We need less of the second.

Only a human being faces the possibility of being badgered in both life and in death.
Badgers also have that problem.
Clearly you have never played the finest of them.

I have a personal code. It's probably morally wrong. It goes like this:
If I can buy it and use it, I will buy it.
If they refuse to sell it to me (because I don't own Mac hardware, for example), I will try to pay them anyway and use it.
If they won't take my money, I will pirate it with a smile on my face (like the actually-useful versions of Ventrilo Server).

Time is a key factor.
In their defense, not knowing South American vernacular isn't "living in a bubble". It is another subcontinent, after all.
I do agree that it's foolish to make such a specific assertion unless you actually know it to be true.

And that's our bad karma as Americans. We act like arrogant bastards, the rest of the world treats us like arrogant bastards.
It's still a good idea to make sure you're right in every case.
We're talking about real karma, friend.
