I don't think this was exploiting them. This was realizing that there was interest and making the most of it. Personally I'm much more likely to buy something from somebody that recognizes a desire for the product and engages in a mature manner rather than letting lawsuits fly because of poor marketing decisions.
So a troll of my troll is my friend? Or is that more like when a couple of barons of hell are going at it in Doom and you wait around to finish the winner off with your shotgun?
Actually, it takes a couple years for the effects of the leadership to come about. Meaning that a couple years after the Republicans lost their majorities we were still watching that wind down when the financial crisis hit.
But then again why bother with logic or the truth when we can blame the people without any money for the behavior of the banking industry and Wall Street.
That would be one hell of a trick, given that electrons have less mass that either protons or neutrons do. And that even in Hydrogen where the difference is smallest you still don't have anywhere near enough mass to make that happen.
I was contemplating doing something like this for myself. Running something like photoshop is a mistake. Apps like that which can use as much processing power and RAM as is available are not going to like being used in a VM.
However for less processor intensive tasks a VM is fine. Although, something like Crossover or Wine is a much better solution.
It's not as bad as it used to be in that with multicore processing becoming more and more common it's not as much of a headache to run multiple OSes at the same time, you're still not going to be getting any more speed.
And yet OpenSUSE seems to do just fine with an integrated graphics card and moderate graphic effects. Just because MS screws it up doesn't mean that you can't have something that's pretty and snappy.
Citation needed, the rich didn't become rich based upon the sweat of their brow, they became rich by utilizing somebody else's labor. Asking them to cough up an equitable amount of tax is hardly unreasonable. We're not talking about taking the tax rate back up the the 70+% like it was when Regan took office.
But then again, let's pretend like this is a matter of hard work rather than the rich screwing over the poor so that they can't work their way up. I mean hell it's not like investing takes any spare money.
The main problem with ASCAP is that there's a blackbox and nobody really knows how the money gets distributed and none of the artists really know if they're getting a fair deal. But the idea of ASCAP isn't really that bad. It gives bars and such a convenient way of licensing music without having to negotiate with hundreds of producers over thousands of pieces of music. You pay the fee and you get to use a huge catalog of selections.
Depending upon the terms of this, the AP doing this could ultimately be good for everybody involved.
That's a serious problem, but worse is that there's pressure already on papers to not cover certain subjects because people don't want to hear about it. If they had to go out and ask for donations directly, I suspect that it would get even worse. As it is a paper doesn't have to be popular with every article, just contribute something of value over the aggregate of the years issues. With donations, I'm not so sure that would be the same method of doing business.
Not any more than conservative organizations doing similar work. I'd need to see numbers, but the Bush administration was trying to beef that up and I wouldn't be surprised if there was now a disparity in favor of conservative organizations in the latter part of his Presidency.
"Who really cares" by Arthur Brooks is the one people generally cite in recent times. I haven't had a chance to read it, but the explanation that he gave of his methods when I heard him on the radio caused me concern. There was no attempt to normalize for cost of living and he included donations to churches in the figure. At one point in the interview he compared a family of 4 living in South Dakota with one living in San Francisco with the same yearly income and complained that the folks in San Francisco were being stingy. He was comparing one of the lowest cost areas to live with one of the highest cost areas and complaining because the latter didn't donate as much. Well no shit Sherlock, people living in San Francisco have less disposable income for any given level of income.
The problem is that donations to Churches aren't donations so much as a voluntary fee for service. You get something rather directly as a result of a donation.
The other problem is that if you rely upon donations the way that a lot of conservatives would like, unpopular, but necessary causes get underfunded or receive no funding at all. Good luck trying to get any funding for domestic violence prevention funding that doesn't target men as the problem and women and children as the victims.
Granted there's a lot of crap out there. But it costs a lot of money to have somebody camped out at town hall in case something happens, likewise for covering congressional issues at the state and federal level. Not to mention all the investigation and work it takes to uncover a story and separate it from the stories that don't pan out.
The bigger issue you're pointing at is the 24 hour news cycle, even with all the technology and resources available, there just isn't 164 hours worth of news each week. Even if you discount for the commercial breaks, there's more time than there is news to cover.
Ultimately, the scariest thing is that we won't know what we're missing because nobody will be there to dig it up.
Good luck trying to enforce that against Americans in America. Copyright over here doesn't extend that far. Photos of historic landmarks fall way within the boundaries of fair use. Especially since Stonehenge itself wouldn't qualify for copyright protection even under the extremely relaxed definition that we've been working with for the last few years.
Um, you could already do that. At the time it was released it required a 3dfx card in order to be playable. But it did support OpenGL. It is playable with other chips these days though.
I know you're kidding, but PowerVR was ahead of its time. No pass through cable and able to run resolutions over 640x480. The main issue it had was a lack of game support and that NEC diverted attention from the PC market to the console market and never followed it up with the planned second generation.
That and the stupid focus on PowerSGL pretty much doomed it. But, ultimately Glide caused 3dfx it's own problems when DirectX went on to dominate the API space.
I don't think that it was a matter of wanting to do it, it was a matter of necessity. There's a reason why most dos games from later on were shipped with DOS/4GW.
The problem with MS is the lack of consistency. If you go from program to program, even just within the set that MS makes, there's a huge amount of variability. Which is problematic. Often times the applications don't look like they were written by the same company because in essence they weren't. They're created by different groups without any sort of consensus over the portions of the UI which don't need to change from program to program.
RAID actually increases the likelihood of losses due to fat fingers. Replace the wrong disk and you're screwed. Type in the wrong command when rebuilding and you're screwed.
Unless you commute via plane, you still aren't properly backed up. You really need the offsite storage to be located in a different geographic region and preferably in two different secure locations.

I thought that was "Hold my beer and watch my try this... "

That test is a lot less expensive, what does Glen Beck get for giving a speech these days?

That legacy lives on in every single graphics chip developed by Intel after the i740.

If you're going to do that, it really ought to be a Matrox M3D.

It's not internet terrorism, besides, it's Kiss, I hear they've got an entire militia. A veritable "Kiss Army" one might say.
Eh, just route all the traffic through both Russia and China and you should be fine.
