the last time they made a huge-hurrah over backwards compatibility (xbox360), the list was 300 titles long and none new were added.

ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC are the three main performing rights organizations in the US. All of them represent the holders of the music copyrights (e.g. songwriters), not the sound recordings made by artists.
Hell, they didn't even have a lucky backpack (from films 2 and 3)
Wait. There was a 2 and 3? The one in theaters now was not #2? News to me. Were they direct-to-VHS type movies?
I use a PVR or DVR on my TV. I hate ads. They don't work. I wasted a few thousand dollars a couple years ago on radio ads to realize that people have tuned out all ads.
I pay for satelite radio to avoid ads there.
Find another revenue stream. Ads are history. Only the ad execs and the hopeful still want them to work.
But.... if you want a machine with reasonable gaming performance without the expense of a separate graphics chip, AMD is the only game in town. I don't want the best. I just want something reasonable.
You can get an HP Envy with an AMD FX processor right now. If they throw a Carrizo FX in there (likely to happen) and add a DisplayPort interface (rather less likely), I would be quite happy. I am just bothered that DisplayPort is relegated to the expensive machines only. 30" monitors are downright cheap today compared to what they were three years ago. 4K monitors are well under $1000 now. Why are mainstream laptops limited to HDMI?
Right now, my dream laptop is a Carrizo with a 1080 panel and a DisplayPort output for around $600 or so. That would let me do some casual gaming, as well as drive a 30" monitor for productivity stuff. I am not holding my breath, however. Just about the only machines with DisplayPort are gaming machine (at least $1000), or business-class machines sporting Intel (with integrated Intel graphics which suck for gaming).
Come on, HP or Asus. Make my dream come true.
If you have a hole in a system it will be abused by malicious people.

you wouldn't want to do anything about that would you? we'll put you on the potential terrorist list just in case.
your UID is too large to fit in my mouth
no, I was commenting on the outrage over musk, who is actually doing something significant with the subsidies. you don't hear outrage over the other folk
also musk isn't a hyper-extroverted narcissist, have you heard him talk? he's a total loser
you mean the part where we specifically added to their constitution that the oil fields belong to the people of Iraq?
I mean in the good old days when you conquested you plundered. That would at least fund our wars. But no we have to be all lawful good when we do it
These are subsidies that gov offers. He has not stolen anything.
In addition, Kock broths get more than that EACH YEAR. Do you think that the neo-cons are going after them? And no, the tea-party will not be going after Musk OR kock brothers. As such, the GOP will be split on this.
oil power conspiracy theory drivel
.. to what what industries get out of government. Heck, some oil tycoons saw the first gulf war where USA kicked Saddam out of Kuwait, and figured it would be a cakewalk to kick him out of Baghdad and install some puppets and get all the oil in Iraq on the cheap. Got two oil men elected as POTUS and VPOTUS, launched a smoke and mirrors campaign and got us into a war that has taken 1 trillion and counting. If the gamble paid off, they would have gained a few billion dollars. But it didn't, but they didn't lose 1 trillion dollars we, the taxpayers did.
Compared to the shenanigans of the coal and oil businesses, even if it is true, this 5 billion is nothing. But most likely it is a hit piece commissioned by the same people who brought you the Iraq war. That one was expansion attempt. Now they are defending the home turf, public utilities using gas and coal. Entrenched monopolies who have never faced competition, lightly regulated by revolving door politicians, lobbyists and company men.
Can you explain how the war got us cheap oil? You're borderline conspiracy theorest. They were part of OPEC before just as they are now, pumping out just as much before as after

It's not just the money. Don't forget about all lives that are lost in wars. And people suffering from air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels.
lets not forget the domestic hunger problems we've solved by having cheap transportation.
funding isn't what we need, Washington DC spends $31k/student, and has some of the dumbest kids in existence.
