Nothing wrong with 'getting acquired' as a goal. Not everyone wants to run a big business. If I had a successful business and Google wanted it I'd sign so fast the ink would burn. Then I'd spend the rest of my life stress free.
At least until you move to Belize...
That's a fun post! 36-core is immense! As an aside: It's been a while since we've seen any decent rise in processor Ghz. I remember IBM talking about functioning reasonably cool 10 Ghz processors (ref needed) in the early 2000s, but no one has them in the shops yet! I'm sure this was discussed in Moore's Law lectures prior to Y2K, but mention it these days and everyone scowls! So some people can (and they run cool) and some people can't, what normally happens in computing when the faster items are released?
It's a step down from the 48 core CPU Intel created in 2009. http://www.intel.com/pressroom...
Can someone explain this? Netflix runs on Linux under Wine, so why the need for hardware/driver support?
IME it runs poorly under Wine. I have had good results with an XP Pro x32 VM running under Linux x64, though. Not even too much added overhead, it seems. However, XP Pro x32 under XP Pro x32 seems to fail due to DRM. Hooray Linux!
As does pretty much everything under wine. Wine is great for a stopgap, that's about it.
There are that many comment trolls that have paid for HBO?
No, there are that many comment trolls with a bit torrent client.

Absolutely, allowing foreign nationals access to your systems is COMPLETELY safe. Moreover, they don't get angry when you take away their livelihood.
law abiding citizens in NYC dont have guns, there are a shit ton of guns in NYC however
Granted Wikipedia is not authoritative, but it looks to me like law abiding NYC citizens may own handguns or long guns.
Sorry, but a "meme" is a picture of a humorous animal with a joke in Impact font at the top and bottom. The word used to mean something else, but that definition got outcompeted by one that was better at replication.
You're WAY off. Arial is the font of choice.
We have a lovely convention centre here in Vancouver, built and opened for the 2010 Olympics. In Bing maps unfortunately it is still at the piling stage
Bing bing bing! We have a wiener!
What tells a player a door is locked and will open, as opposed to a door that they will never open?
Why include a door in a game at all if it will never open. Isn't that really more of a "wall?"
No, really... this is getting nuts.
I get the whole general protection of the average citizen from crimes, but we really need to shrink the reach and scope of these bastards.
You make an interesting complaint but you provide no argument or evidence that the government doesn't have a good reason to propose this rule... Note the word propose... Doesn't mean it will actually get implemented. Don't let facts get in the way of your libertarian fantasy, though.
I think part of penguinisto's point is that there should be no need to come up with an argument against random bullshit like this. But perhaps you should read TFS since it presents the argument you ask for.
