    Richard Stallman x Twilight Sparkle?

  2. Well, if its a problem, you have to troubleshot it and actually get actual proofs of what is wrong if it is even something wrong in first place, instead of just assuming and rolling with it.

  3. Neither on Ask Slashdot: Buy Or Build a High End Gaming PC? · · Score: 1

    Given the games aren't exactly demanding the top of line cards, i would focus on making something with low noise and high reliability rather than going for high expensive performance that will not have anything to use in a sane fashion for the next 4 years or so.

  4. Re:Because of the endless whiners on Sony Quietly Adds PS2 Emulation To the PS4 (eurogamer.net) · · Score: 1

    The compatibility of this emulator must be quite bad, given the fact they must be using all sorts of speedhacks and multithreaded insanity that leads to innacuate timing to make the quite weak jaguar cores handle emulation in realtime and probably the emulator must require per game tweaking as happens with the nintendo 64 emulation on the Wii virtual console.

  5. To compete against intel, you must make a x86 compatible CPU, and due the ridiculously huge warchest of patents intel and AMD, only those two can do it without getting sued to hell and back.

    And whats the odds of being forced into an style of life you don't wish for yourself in the next 10 years or so?

    It's a reference to the "god warrior", a hysterical religious nut woman that appeared on the trading spouses show:

  8. Re:Gaming on a phone is painful on With Respect To Gaming, Android Still Lags Behind iOS (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    Most games live off a very small minority of people that drops a *LOT* of cash in games due some sort of compulsion, the so called "whales", while the rest just use the free features.
    So its not exactly "the world" here.

    And probably the whales also tend to buy more expensive, luxury devices like the Apple ones, which would explain the disparity.

  9. This baby... on Controversial Company Offers a New Way To Make a Baby (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 0

    I never asked for this.

  10. Re:BASIC on Revisiting Why Johnny Can't Code: Have We "Made the Print Too Small"? · · Score: 3

    And what about people that were exposed to java?

  11. Where is the why? on Fullstack Launches Coding School For Women (sdtimes.com) · · Score: 1

    This attempt to fix the perceived problem is quite flawed, because it skips the very, very important of determining why they don't want or can code in first place, and if it is an issue at all.

  12. Re:give up on the hardware on Nintendo's New System Likely a Console/Portable Hybrid (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    When the mobiles grow an analog stick and some buttons maybe.
    Until then,nintendo games are absolutely unplayable on mobiles for the most part, given how horribly imprecise the touchscreen is for fast paced action games due the lack of tactic feedback that tells you when the buttons/stick/dpad is actually being pressed/pressed on the right direction.

  13. Nitpicking like that if anything just make it LESS inclusive, because subjects the very people they vow to protect to the ridicule.
    Making the browser better and easier to understand, and giving more people access to computers is how you actually make it more inclusive.

  14. Re:Clear as mud, and what about signing? on Mozilla Sets Out Its Proposed Principles For Content Blocking (mozilla.org) · · Score: 1

    The term SJW describe any person of low morale that spends his days on twitter and other media trying to "outprogressive" the hell out of his peers by complaining about issues and even inventing new issues out of thin air, and its not exactly automatically a project saboteur.

    Probably "clique"/ mostly san francisco clique describes it better, as then you're talking about that specific mass of very corrupt hipsters that use their money and influence to infiltrate into projects and grab more power by imposing their rules,removing opposition with em etc..

  15. Re:So the PC with Nvidia cards sucks? on NVIDIA Launches GeForce NOW Game Streaming Service · · Score: 1

    They didn't snuck the iris pro on those air macbooks yet?

  16. Re:So the PC with Nvidia cards sucks? on NVIDIA Launches GeForce NOW Game Streaming Service · · Score: 2

    It's getting quite hard to NOT buy a gaming PC, given the fact even the intel solutions are now able to run most good games at a decent frame rate.
    The era where you could buy a machine that won't even boot the games is quite over.

  17. Re:Why apple would even do that? on Can We Trust Apple To Make a Good Games Console? · · Score: 1

    And then apple "reinvented" the phones, creating a whole new market to themselves.
    If apple was ever to "enter the gaming market", they would create their own market, instead of competing with the big three, that is what they already kinda did with the phones.

  18. Why apple would even do that? on Can We Trust Apple To Make a Good Games Console? · · Score: 1

    It's a market that already have a lot of competition and a very steep entry bar, that requires a lot of exclusive games to work, and publishers willing to do exclusve games and actually talented studios willing to sell are very, VERY hard to find.

  20. Re:Embrace - Enhance - Extinguish on Microsoft Announces VP9 Support For Edge · · Score: 0

    This time they're most likely being pressured by youtube and the demise of flash to support it, so will be more a case of "supporting the next jpeg" than embrace/extend/extinguish.
    Of course, they still can put support to embedding it into word documents just the right way it breaks on open office etc.., so not a complete loss for the evil side.

    Except he showed the youtube statistics the videos, and there are clear spikes from Vietnamese "viewers" disliking only the batterizer and batterizer related videos.

  24. They will just use your machine instead, given all the exploits and flaws that this system will obviously have, given how deep it is rooted on the system.

    I wonder how many critical flaws the *AHEM* new "user free" web services will bring to the table.
