And that cannot be combined? Why not test the anti-ship rocket where you'd like the artificial reef to be? I bet the fishes won't mind a hole in the hull.

And that would be bad why? Oh, right, we let having our population have access to affordable goods (that they already paid for with their tax money anyway) get into the way of profit. I forgot, sorry.

Recombining them is more of a burden, though.

I know that you see your allies just as the place where you can dump your outdated military hardware and even get paid for it, but I think this might be a wee bit transparent to even them.

Well, technically, every time I find something that I misplaced, it is quite logically where I left it...

Let's see... average life time of a steel barrel vs. average half life time of the radioactive shit contained...

Nah, we learn from our mistakes. We do different stupid things now than we did back then, there's plenty left to be done!

No, but at least they can claim "but we fought in the war". What's the Boomer's excuse for their insane sense of entitlement?

Get government out of my medicare? Fuck, if you as much as suggested something like that in Europe you'd share the fate of the late FDP. Who admittedly didn't lose its voters over that issue (alone).

As a European it really took me by surprise how vehemently people in the US (and here especially those that would benefit greatly from something like that) opposed the idea of mandatory health insurance.

Fine. Then "Sound of Music". Better?

That's even worse. The iPhone is immensely more powerful than the watch. I can excuse the watch being slow, but the iPhone?

Nothing like releasing your review the day after units start shipping, ie when it's too late to find out the unit's faults.

Goddammit I hate embargos...the only reason they exist is to hide flaws and problems from people who could get a refund. Ray, stop being the industry's bitch. You have a ton of readers, tell gadget makers to pound sand if they tell you that you can't release a review before it ships.

I got the joke. It was a lame attempt to one-up you.

I like AMD, I really do. They've gotten the short end of the stick over and over again. But even I have to admit that the Tek Syndicate benchmarks are poor proof of value right now, and for 2 reasons.

1. They were specifically structured to make the AMD processors look good by running a high CPU load H.264 encoding task (XSplit) while also running a game, which leads us to...
2. XSplit has been rendered functionally obsolete by newer software that uses the on-board H.264 encoders provided by AMD/NVIDIA/Intel. H.264 encoding is now a virtually free operation (with a 5% perf hit), which means that specific scenario isn't applicable in 2015. And that's about the only reason you'd ever want to run a game and a high CPU load alongside a game

There are still some things AMD does well at, but they're few and far between, especially at the high-end since they haven't introduced a new FX processor architecture since Piledriver. Things are far more interesting towards the low end with Kaveri versus Haswell thanks to AMD's much better GPU, though they still lose in a CPU fight.

I think in this case it might well be gravity. We still haven't sufficiently solved the three body problem to the point where we can predict and hence establish stable orbits with perfection. And the sun is a mighty powerful third body where that hot marble is rolling.
