It could also be related to the ranking of minor league affiliates to Major League Baseball teams. A teams are typically rookies, or veterans well past their prime who are looking for a way to move into coaching or some non-playing role (but they're still good enough to show off some skills). AA teams are sort of Purgatory. If a prospect doesn't move through this level relatively quickly, statistics say he probably never will. AAA teams are where the replacement-level Major League talent is being held in reserve, or fine-tuned, or where injured players go to sharpen up after time off, etc.

What would be interesting in this grading system is that AAA is not the top, as the entire system is a feeder for The Show. What would the equivalent be in game studios? I have no idea.

You'll never be the Purple Squirrel,
You'll never even see on.
'Cause I can tell you anyhow,
They'd rather H1B one.

Yeah, I remember. However, a) it still worked on NVidia, and b) it doesn't seem to have helped AMD's marketshare.

Witcher 3 is included with all sorts of NVidia cards, I noticed today. It's still going to work on AMD. It doesn't mean CD Projeckt thinks AMD needs better Linux drivers.

No Beowulf clusters yet?

Steam Manager 1: Ok, lets tell NVidia what's what. Make HL3 AMD only. Somehow.

Steam Manager 2: Sir, I'm just looking at the Hardware Survey that we run, and just over half of our customers use NVidia.

Steam Manager 1: Oh. Ok, lets not throw away half of our potential sales.

Steam Manager 2: Good call.

Would that really help?

I'd think steam users fall into two main camps; the casual 'whatever came with my PC' camp, and the 'hardcore gamers' camp. Hardcore gamers are either going to blindly go with their favorite platform, or they're going to go by benchmark numbers.

Charitable work makes you a religion? Is that codified somewhere? Is charitable work sufficient to make you a religion? Or just a subset of things which in some squishy way will?

No, charitable work is part of what gets you tax-exempt status, is the idea. Either way, you're contributing to the community, is how it was intended.

Except, churches aren't busy doing business and earning profits.

Go look up the filings for various churges, including the CoS, the Catholic Church, and so on. Go ahead. Then tell me they're not for-profit.

Alright

First thing first grab a thick Windows Server 2008 or 2012 book from Microsoft Inside OUT and walk over to your system administrator and wack him on the back side of the head with it!

Then proceed to open the chapter on creating Group Policy Objects? disable java in internet zone under internet options in the control panel. Then create another one to enable java scripting in the intranet zone and add Pearson's to this. DONE.

It is negligence to run this on the web and any system administrator worth his salt under has it enabled for trusted zone sites or intranet sites. Safe, secure, and works with old crud.

IE has it's advantages at work over Chrome. One of them is managing ancient insecure crud and this is where is it useful over Chrome.

There is always IE. You know just saying for those who don't and do not care about new things
