.. there are no jobs in US even for unemployed but willing to work US citizens, so illegal immigrants don't have reason to come to US anymore. If they do, they might regret doing so.
on par or 'copy'?
Interestingly how OpenGL in last 10 yrs is playing catch up game with directX. all these features were developed by AMD, Nvidia and Microsoft for directX, and now just made available for OpenGL.
The ones with PhysX are more likey to crash because nvidia drivers aren't prefect.
Not a trolling attempt: I have played Mirror's Edge game where flag vawes realistically on PhysX, but it crashes on same spot always. Just before crash flag looks weird.
On Radeon, flag doesn't wave so naturally, but game does not crash either.
Our state tax is lower than yours, and you probably have local tax option which we don't. Which tells us that situation is opposite of what you tell, you tax a lot in order to function.
By the way Midwest produces nice portion of what you eat everyday, useful is not easy to measure. We'd live without your tech, would you without food?
If I'd tell you that we have high-tech industries and that you can actually get more for the buck here, you would not believe me, but that's the story for different thread.
Point is, last 5 winters have been noticeably colder than 5 winters before it. And same applies for summers.
It is easy to discuss the warming from your warm home. Come to Midwest to get the feel of global 'warming', we had about 2 days in Feb where temperature reached 30 Fahrenheit. rest of it was much colder, and any places have still 15 inches of snow cover.
Al Gore is welcome too, but he'd spend thousands in order to warm up.
Even if there is remote possibility that he didn't know better, it does not give him rights to spread rumors.
With so many fake experts, no wonder truth is hard to come by. These 'experts' prey on gullible people who know nothing more than to blame Microsoft. Often they don't know much themselves.
One good example is myth that you need to use System Configuration Utility msconfig utility to properly set up number of processors. That muth is truth on thousands of pages on internet. Although max number of processors is used by default, and msconfig option is meant only for troubleshooting, many idiots believe they 'improve performance' by setting same number of processors as it were without turning that on. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmUXx-szfJI - again advice is false.
If you had enabled everyday full scan, then memory cache would be all used up by antivirus, since it would have opened pretty much every file on your computer. Because of this, Windows would slowly put other running apps in background and give more and more RAM to antivirus.
Because they do some of stuff in software that card is actually able to accelerate in hardware? Because unlike wifi and such cards which do most of calculations on host; here they need to make hardware 'do it'? Because they don't know how to use architecture for which they don't have full specs or programming guides?
They are almost doing mission impossible. Many more man-hours are needed to reverse engineer proper ways to use the hardware. With so many millions of transistors on board, it does not sound promising.
Most people know that they are using 'non-genuine' version.
Ones that don't know, when they learn all they would want to do is get rid of nagging popup.
As many have said, Microsoft is in denial about 'non-genuine' user base and mostly hurting legitimate users.. 99% of ones who didn't pay for genuine version will do whatever it takes to keep using whatever they have without paying your company a cent.

This is not going to change soon.
ATi is sub-brand of AMD.
Then it sounds even better, we all like when underdog beats 10-times bigger Co.
Message to douche that went rampant on all my comments and rated them offtopic/trolling: you suck in real life.
To find better meaning for your life, Mr. CEO.
I often wonder why seemingly great minds get involved into some unrealistic endeavor like this. Some do it for power and money, but not all do.
Now your employees can like other phones: Android phones!

They are already PC users, just have different makeup.

people who bought this 'game' or Ubisoft management who thought this will work?
In a nutshell, developers had better vision for products and keeping niche on right track than management, so managmeent fired them.

There is still money to be made in IT/CS!

My company is blocking any Google Chrome site for that reason.
It is all about not giving any choice to user/loser when bending him over.
The more platform is open, the less room they have to pull stunts like this.
If you had enabled everyday full scan, then memory cache would be all used up by antivirus, since it would have opened pretty much every file on your computer. Because of this, Windows would slowly put other running apps in background and give more and more RAM to antivirus.
Which is left on by default.
And that "bad performance" simply meant that user opened app that was not already cached in RAM.
But Slashdot filter was pleased: if bad article about windows submitted, then publish it on front page

Can't they simply count Indians as backs?

Doomed is country that is paying a lot for unemployment benefits and welfare and little for space research.
Microsoft should have said to use Firefox or other browser in the meantime. That is real (at least temporary) solution and workaround for the problem.
Using IE6 problems to advertise IE8 is not.
And replace these thousand-times-reused-themes, effect and nonsense filled movies with something novel with more substance.
Wonderful mods on Slashdot, can't recognize humor unless it explicit says so. My post was meant to be funny. Thanks.
