  1. Re:When Failure Aspires to Failure on New Intel and AMD Chips Will Only Support Windows 10 (pcworld.com) · · Score: 2

    Looks like Papermaster just threw away a lot of potential future paper (excepting possibly legal as this looks like collusion) with that statement.

    There is zero reason for Windows 7 to not work with the processor. Otherwise, you might as well NOT call it x86.

    " If i drop a hammer on the ground, any other human can come along and use it, no matter how much time has passed."

    No matter how much time has passed? I'm pretty sure that hammer will be practically useless after about 200 years of corrosion and UV exposure if it's made of iron.

    Source: I do a lot of metal detecting and have dug up many things, usually tools from miners from the 1800s. Even in the desert, shit erodes and corrodes.

    "Zero, since it doesn't actually provide thrust."

    That in itself would violate Newton's Laws of Motion, wouldn't it? Specifically, that would be Newton's Third Law, for every action, there is an equal and opposing reaction. If you're emitting something, even inside of a closed cavity, THERE MUST BE INITIAL THRUST/PUSH OFF OF THE EMITTING MATERIAL, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, EITHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.

    Back to school with you.

  5. More than half of the 'news' is sponsored ad bullshit, stated or not. It's anything BUT news.

  7. The second Bitcoin got mentioned, 100% positive this is a scam. It is essentially the currency of criminals and psychopaths.

    X-rated theaters still exist and are in practically every porn shop with an 'arcade.' Even today in 2016.

    Plenty of people don't want their significant others to find out. These kinds of people go to these establishments.

    My Minolta X-700 SLR from the 70s takes better pictures than most DSLRs today. Fluorite lenses FTW.

    Same ones used on LCD screens - teeny-tiny arrays of connections on the edge, that you simply glue the control IC to. You don't even need solder.

    The original Time Crysis arcade cabinet was on an LCD screen and used the original GunCon just fine. I worked as an arcade repair tech and that was the most-repaired game I worked on (specifically the GunCon recoil mechanism and the cover/reload plate.)

    "the guncons of most consoles is really a photo transistor"

    No, just the Action Maxx, Nintendo Zapper, Super Nintendo Super Scope, and the Sega Genesis Menacer ones used that (of the sozens of consoles I've owned and taken apart over the years.) Everything else from the PSX on up (Time Crysis, anyone?) worked fine with LCD screens.

  17. My code works flawlessly in Chrome, which means FireFox is at fault. Even IE11 gets better performance.

    "Yes, I also mentioned section 2 (main features). Perhaps you could take the time to read that one instead of screenshotting the "Maximum ratings" section."

    Zero reason to do that when the actual product manufacturer comes into this very thread and says "We use DDR2."

    Not my fault you bothered talking without reading EVERYTHING, first, including the developer, who was here in this very comment section.

    THANKS!

    Nope, Nintendo sucks too. They pulled the DMCA out on the AM2R project because it was far superior to Federation Force in every single way and they couldn't stand being made to look bad by a single programmer.

    "My experiences were that you won't get high or euphoric when you use THC as a painkiller, however the sensation of pain will reduce and that helps you to relax."

    I still get high, but then again I'm knocking back dabs instead of smoking flower. But my leg and back don't bother me afterwards, so I can dig gems and enjoy some scenery while high (literally, both meanings.)
