5 PhDs VS 5 PhDs with credentials proving their ability to satisfy their specific needs. That's why.

From the manufacturer's standpoint it's more important to keep customer satisfied by keeping them within the realm of what they consider safe for the hardware and avoiding warranty issues. Just like anything you can buy, it is engineered within certain specs and when those specs are exceeded nobody knows for sure what will happen.

If I was NVidia I'd provide the option for enthusiast to overclock with their agreement that the warranty is void. Some companies (such as XFX) may charge more for a product and warranty modified cards but for the budget products there's no padding to cover for potential warranty issues.

For some reason overclocking enthusiasts expect computer components from behind dealt with differently than any other product out there. If you pull the engine out of your car, modify it, and then blow a head gasket, guess who will pay for the repairs? You.

I agree. Unfortunately there is no filter for ignorance, lack of knowledge or lack of being open minded.

Yes. I agree with that. I won't claim to know what will happen to the less fortunate but what I do know is that human kind has always adjusted.

I figure they are going after most users which will exclude hackers since they all use Linux or some form of to do their work.

Did they really say that? I must have missed it but I'm not surprised if it's bozo who said it.

Comes down to saying: Using the right tool for the right job. I think this is where Linux shines.

I have though of that many times in my life and wondered what would happen. I suspect that by the time this is an issue the world will have changed significantly. Until then we continue working towards a better life.

Creative roles don't stop with entertainment. Engineering, software dev, marketing, graphic design and many other all require creativity.

You miss understand what a creative job is. Software dev, engineering, marketing... The list goes on.

Maybe you miss understand creative role. I'm not talking about artistic creativity although it does fall in that category. I'm talking about engineering, software dev, graphic design and marketing. There are many others. Those fields are not yet going to be replaced by computers. The process of optimizing these fields has started but we have not yet maximize the potential of combining engineering and computers. The software offered today is the tip of the iceberg as far as I'm concerned.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying it's probably the safest path. There are many others at the moment that won't be replaced by computers but rather optimized and reduced such as the medical field. That field in the next 50 years will see dramatic changes in the level of responsiveness they can offer and eventually that will result into a lesser number of workers.

I wasn't calling your comment Flamebait. I was warning people of the flamebait I was writing. You know that mentioning MS as a fix for Apple is always very iffy!

FLAMEBAIT WARNING.

Maybe they should hire Microsoft's Skype voice recognition programmers since they seem to be able to translate English to Spanish to English live (1s delay).
