I play and write games (I'm still working on a 2D Second Life and we're almost in Beta.)
Unity is crap. 2D pixel games which would've run fine on a 300 MHz Windows 98-era computer need something like 2.4 GHz C2D just to freaking operate at a measly 30 FPS *MINIMUM* Simple 3D demos are insanely bloated.
As if Mozilla even truly has the resources to fix half of the shit they're tossing into their browser in the name of 'competing and being cutting-edge.'
Bitch too much about it, they'd remove it entirely.
Yes, they do. Anything that isn't a shit slimline laptop almost always comes with A. a cover for RAM/Wireless and B. at least one hard drive bay cover.
One I just finished repairing even comes with another bay door for the DUAL GTX980M.
I've done and continue to do this for a living. You very obviously do not, which is why you posted as AC.
There are at least a hundred million coders. Trying to represent all of them from a sample set of fifty-six thousand is bullshit. You haven't even breached 0.1% of the programmer population.
"So any gay men in the room, or any heterosexual women, or hell any fucking married men or religious men can just go get fucked, is that about the size of it?"
Had any of you virgins actually HAD SEX IN THE FIRST PLACE, I can almost guarantee you'd not be bitching.
The only people I've ever heard bitch like that are people I wouldn't want to fuck in the first place, though, so maybe that explains it and you.
"No, you can't. Try installing Windows XP on a Skylake CPU and see what happens."
It works just fucking fine over here! Posting from said machine in my kitchen RIGHT NOW. Sure, I can't see all 6GB RAM in the system, but the system works.
Once all these companies 'merge' and follow the same shitty security practices, our country is going to be one ripe target for every hacker on this planet.
"This tends to happen if you're running the OS as primary/system on an SSD"
Which I don't. OS only needs initial load-up plus whatever on-demand services it needs. Spinning rust is fine for that (7-ish second boot time in Windows 7 and negligible loading times for the other services) and programs get installed on an SSD (mostly games, I tell Audacity and other programs that are not access-intensive to go to spinning rust.)
The OFFICIAL installer for Windows would not see SIX FUCKING HARD DRIVES. TWO OF THEM IDE DRIVES.
Please try again when you know my system configuration, instead of guessing.
"When that country entered into a trade agreement they need to abide by it."
When we violate it regularly, you have no fucking place to say anything to the contrary.
"Thank you again for your insult. It says a lot about you."
Thank you again for your very lacking world experience (of which I have PLENTY and you can check my passport and taxes regarding it.) It only serves to make us dumber and says EVERYTHING about you.
The controllers are typically not sealed, which means that inherent atmospheric moisture, which would include corrosive stuff like sweat from humans that has evaporated into the atmosphere, etc., would kill those.
I suspect (without RTFA) that the platters are fine, it's the controller boards, or rather, the solder joints/traces, or poorly-sealed IC packaging, that died over time due to corrosion.
You aren't paying attention to the words and intent behind them. You're taking everything at face value and not thinking. You are the kind of cowardly fool we don't need in this world.
On one hand, things need to change. We've got practically unlimited power beaming upon us in areas where life is practically unsustainable and our only real challenge is power transmission from those locations. Advocating for these technologies is a Good Thing.
On the other hand, I am aware of mdsolar's sockpuppeting. As a person that relies solely upon one ID on any given site to gently 'advertise' I find this sort of potential advertising revenue generation fairly obvious, especially when you check versus various links AND BLOCKED ADVERTISING SOURCES.
"On Friday, Congress passed legislation making the solar investment tax credit (ITC) available for several years and creating a new production tax credit for wind power projects.
The solar ITC, which was scheduled to expire at the end of 2016, was extended for as many as eight years as part of a $1.15 trillion spending bill."
"I'm not worried about tens of millions in subsidized alternative energy rebates that arguably helps to make our country cleaner."
I actually love it and would encourage more of it. I just bought a fuckton of 99-cent 9w LED bulbs. They're great with 90+l/w (92 by my measurements) 3000K 92CRI. Every single fixture that has an E26/27 socket has one in it. If I include my LED-lit aquarium and patio, I can keep my entire house lit 24/7 for ~$0.42/day.
From there, my only real power usage is cooking and computers and AC, and with computers getting much more efficient, the only real power hogs are the electrical cooking elements and AC, and with the lighting and computing power requirements dropping like a rock, the need to run my AC to compensate, even in the SoCal desert, drops dramatically. The overall power savings from subsidized LED lighting alone when you factor in other costs of things like heat elimination and replacement needs totally makes up for the subsidy. This is smart usage of our tax dollars.
"India was trying to ignore trade agreements since it felt the imports were being dumped below production costs."
They are. China is currently dumping shit so cheap that I can refit four houses with solar + DEEP CYCLE LEAD ACID (that is an important qualifier here) batteries + inverters + wiring + labor to entirely and permanently remove them from the electrical grid for a few grand per home and only a couple grand every 25 years between all those houses for maintenance.
"However, the Indian government is not subsidizing solar in its country the way other countries are."
Why should it be required to do so? It is its own sovereign entity, is it not, with nuclear capabilities?

If the Hulkster hits the punitive jackpot, the total could be as high as $460M.
That's an utter death blow to Gawker.

I can tell you've never been to any GDC ever. Hell, before GDC, in the 90s, we had other conferences. Scantily-clad titties everywhere.

56K out of how many millions of coders?
Wake me when the sample size can breach 2^20, please.

No, because regular computers tend to come with HARD DRIVE BAY COVERS for users to open themselves and NOT VOID WARRANTY.
Mindat notes the hardness of Lonsdaleite at 7-8. Diamond is 10. TFA says that Lonsdaleite in a pure form might be harder than diamond.
So which is it?
Edge attacks itself. Try to get my game running on it, it horks and dies.
Can't hack something that's dead on arrival.
The browser is one of the most common vectors to compromise a system. Why would you NOT attack it when it's proven to be horrendously weak?
Too easy. In fact, just getting my game running under Firefox exposed at least half a dozen vulnerabilities in the way they handle WebGL and Canvas2D.
Chrome isn't MUCH better, but at least it can handle WebGL failures gracefully.

Late to work because of your electronic device being unable to connect to a server?
Buy a fucking battery-backup manual alarm clock like a real person.

Conductive atmospheric material is bad for electronics.
Welcome to the EARLY 1990s, where we had already determined this before. Humidity kills most EVERYTHING.
You aren't paying attention to the words and intent behind them. You're taking everything at face value and not thinking. You are the kind of cowardly fool we don't need in this world.
I am a person of mixed feelings on this.
On one hand, things need to change. We've got practically unlimited power beaming upon us in areas where life is practically unsustainable and our only real challenge is power transmission from those locations. Advocating for these technologies is a Good Thing.

Follow the money. You learn a LOT when you do so.
Then you haven't checked recently:
