I use linux as a gaming platform. I have 100s of titles to choose from on steam. What few titles i want that are not there run fine on wine (ok so only one title, Eve online).
Also gaming mouse/keyboards etc work out of the box for me, on linux. So yea think your a bit behind the times on plug and pray. It really is mostly plug and play. Including bluetooth stuff, game controllers, etc.
The courts should not be used to enforce superstitions.
Well in a democracy, that is kinda their job. If the majority have the same superstitions. Tyranny of the majority and all that. There is no legal requirement to have judgments based on science.
OpenGL has been dead for the sorts of uses that most people commenting in this thread care about. It's still pretty much complete and robust as a basic graphics library for applications that just need 3D visualization. As a game 3D API, it's pretty much obsolete.
Again what the fuck are you talking about. Another gamer thinks they know whats going on. OpenGL is far from dead or obsolete.
And my hinky meter is off the charts. How many teens talk at all on phones or even more to the point with their phones up against their head.
These studies are so... axe grindy. They start with the premise of finding what they already "know". Often the stats are soo poorly done that i wouldn't let a highschooler get away with it. But it gets publish because this makes impact factors look good. So yea without reading it, would be very very skeptical.
More often than not. Yea seriously. A heap of studies that really do get publish are literately that bad. Don't assume "experts" or "peer review" changes anything.
TLDR; Most of the panels had no more than a 2% reduction in output over 25 years. One panel showed signs of the hot spot fault and there was some contact corrosion. The paper concluded that 25 years was realistic life time for these old panels and that with new cladding and encasing methods is probably very conservative with modern units.
I think his strength is to pick the right people. He mostly doesn't do it himself. But rinse and repeat, he has pulled things like this off more than a few times now.
...Also probably dishonest or amoral, but that is not strictly necessary.
Musk seems to be a bit better than the average, hell these days the gates foundation is actually pretty good. He, like a few others are not the typical fortune 500 CEO. They made their wealth on that new fangled internet thing long before the typical wall street troll got their teeth stuck in.
I for one welcome our new billionaire overlords. They seem a lot better than the last lot.
Only in some countries. In NZ they are meaningless. They can pay retainer, but once they stop paying you they cannot interfere with your ability to earn. However if you breach a NDA (good luck proving it) you are still on the hook.
Not really. It just gets lost in the paper work. So one dickwad (perhaps just didn't like him) can do things that end up being very expensive for the company. Not just in talent loss, but raw cash and law suits.
I just got one. For 5x less than a equivalent i whatever, with a longer battery life and every feature of the expensive phone. In fact i don't understand why people pay 5x more for.. well nothing extra. Oh and i can flash it to stock android as well.
It follows *ALL* taxi regulations in Berlin, Zurich, Vienna (taxis are soo regulated there, normal taxis are still in fact cheaper than Uber), Lausanne, Geneva. Your clearly just trolling cus you want us (passengers) to be paying a *lot* more, which is bad for a *lot* of people.
We have already established your a taxi driver that doesn't like the fact you can't over charge and extort your passengers anymore.What is your restriction? having to get a medallion? Ticked off because your in one of the groups that has been buying up all the medallions in NY city then extorting both drivers and passengers? And in many places i have been many of the taxis *are* uber drivers.
But you don't want it to be better for us do you. You want all our fucking money. Well eat shit and die. This certainly has nothing to do with what is good for the public.
Your a god dam taxi driver aren't you. No uber is good for a lot of people. Really a lot. It is a good, clean, safe and reliable service and it save people money. What is not good for is *you*. Cus you can't charge 3x more than the market will allow.
What the crap dude. Uber here, and the other 4 cites i have lived in follow the *same rules in terms of licence requirements and background checks* as taxis do.
Uber in all the cites i have lived in follow all the rules taxis need to follow. Same passenger licence requirement, same background checks. But are still 3x cheaper. So.. all this regulation is.. what are you talking about?
The main reason taxis are expensive is local monopolies. Typically the local government has a hand in the pie. It certainly has nothing to do with ensuring good taxi service, that is for sure. The expensive taxis here (about 2-3x as much as uber) provide a all round far worse service. In EVERY single respect.
Yes you are. Look at the payouts from class action lawsuits. You get, what $30 bucks back. Meanwhile the lawyers walk away with millions in "fees" cus well fees.

The bad thing about OpenGL is that it's not going anywhere (stagnant).
What the fuck are you talking about. Spot the gamer who knows NOTHING about the APIs.
Yea cus candy crush experience is right up there with state of the art CAD software.
Oh wait. No its not.
Apple, overpriced laptops for shitty mobiles games. Yet some dumb arse is still bound to buy it.

I was shocked to hear the other day that 4chan is not what it once was. Apparently they all moved over to reddit.
What you need is buffer chests.. But fan of buffer chest in Factori... oh wait. This is Real life, never mind.

A good post wasted to that wanker AC!
I hope so. I am a year overdue for a new PC that can play doom. I only got 9 hours out of that game before my last PC died.

You would think so wouldn't you. But alas. Even phrased explicitly like that and no. Still think if you can't afford it, you should go suck it.
