It was a word play. Like, we're going to moderate the drinking game. Not, we're going to drink in moderation. The former doesn't imply any limit to the drinking. The latter does.
I read that in until the late 1800's in the USA, people didn't go to prison to serve time. They went there to await their trail and if found guilty, to await their punishment, such as hard labor or hanging. Jail time itself was not the punishment until the Eastern State Penitentiary was founded in the late 1800's with the Puritan notion of rehabilitation through time spent in isolation and introspection.
Moreso, the frequent and free OS upgrades that keep it modern and well integrated with other devices add considerable value. As does the fact that you don't need to buy virus protection, or to have said protection drain your system resources, particularly important as the system ages. And when you finally sell it, you get some real money. Macs in their base configs are good value. Although memory and storage upgrades are not.
If you make $60K/yr and take home $40K/yr after taxes, deductions, insurance, 401k, etc...and your wife makes an extra $10K, you will still take home the same amount of your salary...$40K/yr....she will be taxed at what ever rate is appropriate for earnings between $60K and $70K...which is probably around 25%.
My anger is directed against people who make idiotic financial decisions and force the rest of us to foot their bill when they crash and burn. So more power to you for being poor and in debt but feeling like a God. Glad your paying down your debt. We need more people like you.
I don't mind my tax rate (which is about average for middle and upper middle class America) and I never commented on how much I spend. I too am debt free. I don't know where you get off attacking me with your false assumptions.
Sounds like you've never played a nintendo game on modern hardware. Nothing crippled about it. Great graphics, animations, gameplay, resolution, frame rate and fun. Most of the excellent Nintendo games are first party so Nintendo hardware is the only development target.
A Nintendo Wii U console costs about $100 once you factor out the cost for the elaborate tablet like controller and the top end bunded games. It's about 2x the power of an Xbox 360 or PS3. Show me a better computer for $100.
Ubisoft may have only had 4-5 cores for AI and other calculations — scarcely more than last gen, and the Xbox 360 and PS3 CPUs were clocked much faster than the 1.6 / 1.73GHz frequencies of their replacements.
Clock speed is not a good comparison. These processors should process data much faster than those in the Xbox 360 and PS3 despite the clock speed differences.
CPU that has to process the AI, the number of NPCs we have on screen
Maybe you didn't target your game properly.
Many Nintendo games run in 1080p and 60 frames/second on the Wii U which is much less powerful...because Nintendo makes that their target when deciding how much AI and graphics detail to put on the screen at once.
Really, with all the car telemetry systems out there, they should really just crowd collect MPG stats once the cars hit the road and have the average reported as the fuel efficiency numbers.
I see this as being super useful in product development, industrial, and training settings. It could be drastically cheaper and better than existing commercial solutions, and at the same time, it would probably be prohibitively expensive for your average home gamer.

Does it count if we have a friend moderate our drinking games? It's more fun and fair to drink in moderation. Otherwise the games go to shit.
Haha. Let it be known hence forth that Fwipp, poster of Slashdot comments, has posted a comment that was not complete in its message.
I like how you still want to post the lesser comments, but just not take credit for them! :P
I was with you until the last sentence on poverty. That's a small subset of the wider net you cast.

Well, this is a weakness of all-in-one machines.
But, Macs hold their value well. You won't be throwing it away. You'll be selling it for a pretty substantial amount of $$ to offset your upgrade.
Do the math.
But you already did it!
Anyways, Apple products can be pricey, but if you want excellent quality and usability, nothing on the market offers the same value.
its so that co-workers don't sneak up behind you when you're working.
they want to make sure they land on time

You have no fucking clue huh? And you're obviously young and single with no experience managing your finances.
The average American salary is around $40K/yr.

That's more like $2,500/month after taxes, health insurance, etc...if you're lucky enough to take home 75% of your income. I take home about 60%.
The Tesla will cost you $1,300 month + $200 month for insurance + $100 month for power = $1,600
About 65% of your monthly spending. Good luck living in your car with the remaining $900 month.
Oh, and if you don't want to be a complete ass hat, you should be saving at least $500 of that $900 each month for unexpected expenses.
So you've got $400 a month. Hope you have a way to cook ramen in that Tesla home of yours.
And don't get a bad tooth ache. That will cost you $2,000 to fix. Don't have to go to the ER. That will cost you at least $2,000.
I would argue that anyone who spent more than 1/3 of a year's salary on a car would be financially stupid.
Also anyone who didn't pay in cash, or have the ability to pay in cash despite financing is being stupid.
Oh, yea?

That settles it. Ignore clock speed across generations.

It's retina quality graphics! Just like the iPhone screen.
I use it recursively.
