Here's the funny vid he is referring to for those 40% that modded him troll. I liked the "innovative gameplay" and "realtime weapon change" myself. 30% Redundant? Maybe. All this sony bashing is starting to sound redundant.
That's not a problem, just chop up the library of congress into 3 passenger-sized pieces and divide that with the time it takes for the ship to reach orbit.:)
Isn't that similar to the ID argument? How the hell can we use science to deduce if a external being has changed the laws of our universe and is able to manipulate time at will? I was just pointing out that it doesn't matter if we could scientifically deduce how rainbows could have been created by god, because we first have to make a faith-based assumption that god did create rainbows.
God put a rainbow in the sky to remind man that he would never flood the Earth with water again.
Yes, we can explain exactly why it appears there using elementary physics and predict exactly where it will appear at any given time of day based on the position of the sun in the sky.
But that doesn't diminish its divine origin.
The problem with this silly statement is that it would mean that there were no rainbows before the flood, and that the laws of physics were changed to enable rainbows to appear.
The XB360 has been out for almost a year soon, and the PS3 and Wii will be released in the near future. Isn't it about time to start calling them current-gen? Or will we wait until the XB^3/PS4/WWii is out until we start calling the previous incarnations current-gen?
I can either spend $500 every 6-12 months to get all the bells and whistles out of my PC (and that's JUST the video card).. or spend $500 on a console that does it cheaper (and with all the extra features on the new generation.. )
Why do some people always claim this? I have never bought a videocard more expensive than 200e, and have never had any performance problems. I've never seen the point for 500e+ videocards (other than bragging rights for having poor economic sense) because they rarely are much more faster than their medium-end counterparts.
Sony uses an Nvidia chip in PS3, and Microsoft has already abandoned Intel, it's not an Intel CPU that powers the XB360.
The problem is that Intel's integrated graphics is utterly incapable of running games, it doesn't even properly support DX9. On the other hand both Ati's and Nvidia's IGPs are DX9 compliant and lightyears faster than Intel's IGP. Thus we come to the conclusion that Intel is hurting gaming with it's crappy IGP, because you can't buy a similarly crippled IGP for AMD even if you wanted to. Luckily the next version of Intel's IGP will at least support the DX9 spec properly, as it wouldn't be able to display Vista's Aero UI otherwise..
As far as I can tell this deal only covers patents made before 2001 (section 2). I could be wrong though, not very good at legalspeak, and didn't read the entire contract. AFAIK they have another cross-licensing agreement as well, but it only covers all x86 extensions and improvements. This is the deal that you're probably talking about as SSE and AMD64 are x86 extensions. So to answer your question: no they would not need to share tech acquired from ATI.
The summary gives me the impression that they're predicting when it will happen as opposed to what will happen. Now I didn't LTFA, but I'm guessing the summary probably is accurate.

That last line is hard to spot at first glance. For some odd reason it resembles a signature and gets automatically skipped. :P

would ... Diablo II be the same if you removed the story behind them?
;)
Wait, D2 had a story?
I think most dedicated D2 players would agree that all the dialogue and movies just cause a few seconds to be wasted on useless skipping of things.

I'm guessing it's the flood with the Noah's ark etc.

I meet the definition of VTOL capable as well. Still need to work on reaching that 100 km though.
But how many libraries of congress per second is that?

Roughly 300 million population, 5% is 15 million. 15 million journalists? I seriously doubt it. Maybe lawyers, but not journalists.
Somehow i dont think the creation of visual radio (i thought it was called TV) will lead you to become a super power.
What?! Are you telling me that Finland won't become a superpower with this?!
As he already mentioned it really isn't realistic to start blowing up nukes in the atmosphere to get the rocket off earth.
They need approval from the owners a.k.a. shareholders, market shares don't matter in this case.

You don't even play WoW? Doesn't that make your belief that the game is losing its soul unfounded?
Which part? The study? My post? The weather? Specifying is a good idea, otherwise your posts end up pretty cryptic.
