You don't know how ASM code works, do you? It's absolutely MASSIVE until compiling down to an executable.
I write software that controls massive food production facilities across the globe and allows me remote control to fix problems. I don't need a team, you end up with the 'too many chiefs and not enough fucking indians' problem.
You don't work in any serious global industry, obviously.
"If you want to reach the widest audience you need to be cross-platform"
And that's why you program ASM for the architecture. I don't have to worry about the OS, my software just fucking runs.
And yes, java is deprecated. Do you know how much cruft it leaves? How often it says "I have an update!" but never actually does? Package dependencies and more, it's like Linux all over again.
" There for the more memory you can fit in the board, the more VM instances you can run on any given machine"
Until you hit the CPU limit (which in most machines/typical cases, due to shit coding, only takes two or three instances, and given most programs, even server programs, are 32-bit arch, they gain no benefit from anything higher.)
"I don't think your really understand the way the world works."
Nope, you don't understand.
You, the citizenry, VASTLY outnumber your government.
If you can't control your government, you're weak as fuck and DESERVE to be run-over by those you trust to run your country.
Go back to middle school, learn some basic logic skills. That's already very apparently lacking in *YOUR* country, as you have adequately demonstrated.
In order - Kilowatt-hours, decahertz, and kiloFLOPS.
Trying to hide the dismal performance of your company product? Perhaps you should be a bit more forthcoming, 'lest your NDA kill your company with your bullshit answer.
I don't think I need to say anything about how this statement is suspect. I cut my teeth on TI-BASIC at the age of 4, right after I learned how to read.
Ten to One says your kid just followed your prompting.
Dude, you're using Java, which is deprecated every month due to new vulnerabilities. Are you insane? Your stability and future software upgrade path has gone to shit.
The company I work for (global horticulture research) won't use Java for ANYTHING because every new revision/incremental update breaks something.
Enjoy your constant updating of an unstable and insecure platform.
"Until Linux stops all their internal bickering and decides on one native standard for all gaming they will never been seen as better"
It's called OpenGL. It already exists. What you have to worry about now is the input and sound.
PulseAudio is still absolute shit. I get better features using kX drivers with an old as fuck SBLive! on Linux than most soundcards today under the newest Windows (7 and 8)
Not really. Most games that are a decade old or less almost always show improvements over framerate using OGL/OAL vs DX, this included the experimental OGL APIs for these engines.
This is because D3D is CPU-bound whereas OGL is GPU-bound (and only barely CPU bound since the CPU sends all the stuff to the GPU.)
This has been demonstrated with various wrappers/native implementations from PC-primary games to emulators. Starting from Unreal Tournament GOTY '99 through most iDTech engines and the latest Unreal engines, and also Torque3D.
Plain and simple, direct to hardware (Open*L) is faster than CPU-to-hardware (DirectX)
We're not even shipping DDR4 modules/motherboards in any large amount. DDR3 is still the latest 'standard' for most boards except servers, and even then DDR4 is rarely found there, you're more likely to find it hardwired to video cards.
Better get that money.
Disclaimer: I work in the semiconductor manufacturing/selling industry.
Bah, no. More like the old Cafe Apocalypse in Memphis, where old components were literally the walls of the place (non load-bearing walls made from motherboards and cases patched together, etc.)
" Because server ram is generally ECC and cannot be used in desktops."
If it's ECC and the motherboard doesn't support ECC it simply doesn't use ECC and just treats it as normal RAM, as ECC is performed by a chip on-stick and it only in use when supported by that motherboard.
How did this get modded as insightful when it's pretty much 100% incorrect?
" 4GB DIMMs are not appropriate for most virtualization workloads."
What sort of horribly unoptimized shit software are you running? I have ten research facilities worth of hydro equipment, all across the globe, all run from an Athlon 64 X2 5200+ with 8GB of RAM sitting in my bedroom.

power = energy, oh anonymous high school dropout.
kWh is power rate over time.
Please come back when you hold a certification or license to do electrical work.

"I would also point out as one more Apples to Apples perspective that DirectX supports a lot of things that OpenGL doesn't"
You've got that backwards. OGL can be extended, DX cannot. You can add any feature, all it takes is writing an OGL extension.
With DX, you have to wait for the latest revision.

Been there, done that. With DEC Alpha, no less.
I did anger management, from several different doctors in Texas, Tennessee, and California.
Turns out, I'm not angry. I have a better grasp of reality than all of you and react appropriately.
Enjoy your fantasy world while I continue to quietly dominate the agricultural market. Eventually, you'll be praising me, not God, for your food.

I don't have to game a system when my product does what it purports to do and NOTHING ELSE.
Used to be a DSL provider that would advertise on Slashdot how you could run servers and they'd respect your privacy.
Then they got busted lying about it.
You think you can do it but the laws in place firmly forbid it.
And the only way to stop it is to kill all members of government at all levels to send a message.
Yea, that's not happening. Nobody and no-group has the cajones to do it. We can't even stand up against election fraud.

Someone obviously failed English class and Zero-level logic.
" When you talk about sharing, I know for a fact"
No, you don't, because you're not me nor do you know me.
Quit being a poseur and start talking sense, child.

If it's paywalled, don't even fucking bother to link it, most of us will naturally avoid the link.
If you can't find a non-paywalled version, then don't bother at all.

Umm, unless they were using a wrapper, D3D isn't even in play.
Sounds like you've never had the pleasure of running TRUE SLI (e.g. 3Dfx cards.)
Given your UID, not surprising.

Your brain is broken.
Try again when you re-take and pass elementary school pattern recognition.
BTW, the comment up there that you're talking about? Mine. Made just to lure fucking morons like yourself out of the woodwork.
This is why I'm a research director and you're just a fucking peon.
Dumbass. Detach yourself from mommy's PC and reattach yourself to her tit.
