"Which means no software will be capable of ripping it from screen like you can do it now. Because none of decoding takes place in software, which means you do not have access to decoded stream in OS."

Framebuffer rippers are absolutely nothing new and are software implemented. It's like the most trivial way to capture exactly what is being displayed on your screen. Cuz guess what? It' Microsoft - it's going to pass through DirectX FIRST. BAM the 'weak point' that most any game streaming service uses.

Can't wait for the vulnerabilities I found and gave to some nice hacker friends to hit systemd right as it's hitting 'prime time' and beats it back into obscurity.

I do have a battery in that box. 8,000kWh, and that's AFTER redundant PSU installation.

Maybe if you added a third w to the URL and actually CALLED THEIR SALES PEOPLE instead of waiting for outdated website info, you'd have half a fucking clue, now wouldn't you?

If you're too technically inept to build a system that can do it all including acting as a managed switch and firewall, you probably should drop out because you've been left behind.

" typically the database doesn't run on the same system as the web server."

Maybe if you use shit hardware, yes you'd keep them on separate systems.

Or you can catch up with reality and realize that now days, I could do the entirety of DICE Holding's website portfolio with THAT ONE MACHINE, INCLUDING DATABASES AND WEBSERVERS, oh and for fun one of those nodes could go to just acting as a hardware firewall and router/switch.

Sager, OH AND YOU CAN GET SLI GPUS TOO. Oh, and since Samsung just announced 5.5" 4K, Hey! Sager's going to be able to offer 8k in very short fucking order.

"I write this on a gorgeous Dell Precision M3800 that has it all: powerful i7 processor, space for lots of RAM (16 GB), dual SSD bays"

Yea. No. That's not having it all.

Come back when you've got 8 Xeons, 1TB ECC DDR3, 24 SSDs, and 12 GPUs in one box. Then you can say you've got it all.

Because apple fan-mods are out in force with points.

"Which "better players" lawfully support iTunes purchases?"

Winamp, for at least a fucking decade.

And in benchmarks, they perform pretty much identical, despite the bandwith disparity.

Which, if you paid any fucking attention to systems architecture design, means that somewhere else on the CPU is the bottleneck.

" But try taking any one of those cheap tablets and connect it neatly to your TV and let me know how that's working for you. I am betting none of them have HDMI out capability at that price point."

Uhhh, yea. Works just fucking fine, cost me $99.

Could you shut the fuck up about things you obviously know nothing of?

" I think you're missing the whole point of the tiny form-factor and what is it best suited for.'

Yea, portable devices. Not attached to a TV port in the back that is effectively blocked with so much fucking shielding that getting any sort of reasonable signal to it to control it is practically impossible...

"It has an USB2.0 port. That would do for Keyboard and mouse. Maybe."

If 480Mbit is only good for keyboard and mouse, I don't even want to touch any software or hardware you design, EVER.

Yea, and lemme tell you, with most shit on the backside of a TV, and all that nice shielding in the casing, it's a fucker to get a wireless signal to reach and be received.

Tried one. Already sent it back. If I need an extender cable to make a plug and pray device work, nope, see you, adios.
