16GB is pretty reasonable (though it kinda hurts to say that). My workstations usually run a mix of Windows 7 and Ubuntu, but I started in the days when you could bring up the full Mac OS GUI from a floppy disk so it's all pain to see how far and wide things have bloated out.
I'm actually quite surprised to see that it's such a significant chunk of silicon, and can see how that would cause issues on the PC side as I know too many gamers who make due with 'good enough' onboard.
You're wrong to begin with, but you're completely off the wall in this case because we're not really talking about different platforms, we're talking about the Xbox One and Windows. The Xbox One is an AMD APU PC, what kind of platform differences are you on about? the Xbox One is running a distribution of Windows. This is the point where any additional effort required means they did it wrong.
Still running a few SoundBlaster Live! cards in various machines, including one in my main for use with a MIDI keyboard that plugs directly into the gameport. It does 5.1 and has a sweet DSP on it, I'll be running these things until they all burn out.
push vs. callback is a false dichotomy, like object-oriented and procedural. it doesn't make a damn bit of difference what style your user facing APIs are, given the software stack they're piled on top of. You're working through so many abstraction layers to get ANYTHING done on a computer, people have forgotten that they're nowhere near close enough to the metal for your pretty-princess syntax arguments to have anything to do with the problem.
SSDs are great but if you're not using spinners for your bulk data storage you're probably starved for space and spent too much money. I pity the fool that's running off of SSDs only and trying to work with any kind of media, especially PC games.
It's really time to move to an honestly open computing model, so we can rely on long term supported systems that aren't being screwed with on a whim by people wearing business hats.

The last time I had to change banks was because my bank had managed to lose so much customer money that it had to sell itself to another bank. It wasn't just my bank, though, it was dozens of others as well! It caused some kind of financial crisis and the banks that weren't bought had to bailed out by other banks - some of which were also being bailed out! The fuck are you talking about? We repaid ourselves with our own goddamn taxes.
Pure electric, I'm inclined to agree to an extent, but due solely to the low spread of Tesla supercharger stations. That part is already improving. Now, a diesel-electric hybrid system, that's something I would expect to be a good fit. Give us a diesel generator that's designed to give us ample power while sipping the fuel at a steady rate. We're at the point where (power source) (power to electricity transformer) (electric motor) provides us the opportunity to make it so it Doesn't Matter what fuel we're using to generate the power, and it's silly not to be doing it.
It is also important to note that this is an OPTIONAL clause of the GNU General Public License - it is in fact a clause that many have chosen to leave out, as they do NOT want their code to be grandfathered into GPLv3.
I think the Windows user is spoiled by the fact that he's merely a client in a server reality, he'll learn what it is to be a target when he's hosting the services that everyone is pouring their data into. Browser and e-mail hijacking is kind of the lowest hanging fruit in the technological ecosystem.
This completely overlooks a very basic incompatibility that Qt has with C. The fact that it's written in C++, and while there are ways to bind C++ libraries to C, it's not exactly what one might call elegant. Qt has a lot of merits - it is absolutely not a replacement for a GUI toolkit used from C, which is what GIMP needed. Must remember that C++ was quite a bit less stable at the time. Make sure your.NET runtimes are up to date so you can draw colored rectangles into the Metro overlay.
In my experience, I have an awful lot of tabs open. If my ctrl-tab/ctrl-shift-tab jumped to the last used tab, it would be a disorienting mess. Makes sense to alt-tab back and forth, but I remember when alt-tab used the old way of it, where we didn't have the most recently used application popping up. Sure made it a lot less frustrating back when we were using multiple applications do things and needed to switch between them without worrying about them randomly changing order in the task switcher. I swear kids these days don't know how to tell their computers what they want and expect them to just know.
Frankly I feel like the only reason we have an issue here is that people don't understand how the certificates work. I don't accept the idea that having root CAs which are specific to an organization's network is somehow flawed. If the solution being proposed is little more than "Pay someone else to sign your certificates", what you've actually done is completely disregarded the problem. There are a multitude of abuses that can come from it, but you don't make them disappear by relying on an outside authority in that manner. With some of the code issues that have recently publicized regarding SSL, I have to wonder if the security issues can even be avoided to begin with.
In some ways, Bitcoin bootstrapped itself on the black market. If the Bitcoin fad ends, I see no reason to believe it won't stay steady and strong in the dark undercurrents like the other currency alternatives (Ukash?) in place and being used for such things. Is that scary?
Games that old tend to love the various compatibility layers... and a lack of alternatives, I've begun to feel, is a sign of doing it wrong. It's probably time to adapt to a process that doesn't leave one up the creek... There are varying levels of polish, some piss poor, but still more supportable than anything running on XP as of next month.
Hopefully it'll actually work. The big important part with regard to the Apple bit is that Apple's fancy new display technology didn't interfere with being able to utilize Apple's clunky old display technology. Maybe it's something that could be as simple as Wayland-native Xnest, but any solution that doesn't keep the ability to integrate with current system functionality isn't a solution. Just like systemd, it's going to take quite a bit more work before these things are feature complete and capable of replacing the systems that they are meant to replace.

a fresh install is currently *4GB* larger than the storage capacity of those targeted tablets, I'm sorry but that's just laughable.

These APU kits are all about the reunification of the processing chipsets. It's very similar to 'using the GPU for audio'.

Same reason you're wasting 35GB on your Operating System install.
SSDs are great but if you're not using spinners for your bulk data storage you're probably starved for space and spent too much money. I pity the fool that's running off of SSDs only and trying to work with any kind of media, especially PC games.
That's unrelated to the merits of the trackball - they're just super uncommon these days so the gaming input device makers don't bother.
Which would be totally true, if all those services you're relying on to make all those devices useful weren't running on racks of Linux servers.
What was the cover charge on that one again?

Alrighty kids, now go back to your sandboxes and let the big boys do the real work on the Linux systems.

My guess is that he meant he was going for an Asus Nexus rather than a Samsung Nexus. Isn't it weird how Android phone branding is working lately?
