You think third parties are inherently less corrupt? They're just as likely to be bought off or bullied as any other politician.

Democrats are currently their own worst enemy, they're devouring themselves. Republicans have thrown away all human decency and sanity. I hate them both.

I think the answer is pretty clear: Because politicians don't do what we want them to do.

If you have a good solution, I'll subscribe to your newsletter.

I see "patriots" forcing people to stand for the national anthem and pledge of allegiance. Forcing one to stand or kneel...whatever, it's basically the same thing.

Considering that internet providers are fighting tooth and nail to do as little as possible to provide service, and the fact that a monopoly has no incentive to upgrade their infrastructure, how long will it be before a reasonable number of people have sufficient ping times for this? Decades?

If anyone is wondering why VR needs local hardware it's because even very tiny amounts of latency between your head movements and the rendered image will make you nauseated.

Even if they could somehow solve the latency problem to make regular games playable, it still wouldn't be fast enough for VR. VR still needs local rendering hardware no matter what.

Oddly, it's about the same price as the 1070 ti. Why would anyone by a 1070 at that price?

Perhaps all the miners out there with racks of 1080 ti's who are currently not buying new cards will all go out and buy the new 11 series card? Is this not incentive to release?

Well, not totally selfish purposes I suppose. He was willing to kill the human race to save one woman.

Neo got everyone killed or kicked out of Eden... or at least that was his goal and after the breakdown of the alliance between the architect and himself and the failed invasion of Zion, we're left to assume that all the humans in the Matrix were purged....for purely selfish purposes. He also reprogrammed Smith to give him the ability to overwrite human minds, which was done. So, is he really that good?

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify Microsoft, and I realised that it's not actually a company. Every company on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment; but Microsoft does not. It moves to an area and it eats, and eats, until every good idea is consumed and the only way it can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Microsoft is a disease, a cancer on this planet, it is a plague, and FOSS is the cure.

Any post that ends with checkmate anything, should be considered humor. I'm telling you this because you evidently didn't learn this skill while growing up.

Lies. The more money I make the less ramen and mac&cheese I consume. Checkmate socialists.

I had no idea CFC were greenhouse gases. I thought they just helped breakdown ozone. Are they released in significant enough quantities to be relevant to global warming?
