That said, I agree with you. The problem isn't the devices. It's that stupid people use them irresponsibly. We should ban stupid people from driving.

Exactly right. Based on numbers provided by Steam, DirectX10 is currently the majority of what players hardware supports. So guess what developers are targetting? Sure some AAA studios are going all out but a lot of the smaller developers are still putting out DirectX9 games.

Of course the NSA sees everything regardless of privacy settings. So unless you trust the US government, it's probably best not to post anything that would be interpreted [by a moron] as a threat.

LOL My kingdom for mod points!

"Besides, the whole rant is based on the assumption that most women disapprove of having scantily clad women running around.."

THIS!!
Women are beautiful. Men like looking at them. Women like looking at them. Who is complaining?

I believe most shops these days make their money doing repair and virus removal. With the occasional upsale.

How Did You Learn How To Program? ...I never stopped learning!

I started on a TRS-80. But I too give thanks to my real beginnings to QBASIC. Instead of my dad, it was my older brother that introduced me to it. He eventually gave up programming and became an outdoors man. I on the other hand have been coding for the past 20'ish years :)

It will happen eventually. And then we'll have to hear the whole debate all over again. All the while hundreds of people will die in a war that most Americans have forgotten is taking place.

I'm wondering if this will shutdown the sale of used games on ebay and the like. That would be shame if so. Pretty much every game and console I buy eventually gets resold (they are mine so I ought to be able to sell them) to someone who will get use out of them after I've had my fill.

I was disappointed by this as well. It's more like a replica of a replica. I was hoping they made something more detailed.

You guys get to look out windows?

Why wait for a tree to grow it when you can just print the stuff?

The upgrade dragon isn't as bad as it used to be. A lot of gaming tech has plateaued in the past few years.
Buy/build any decent PC these days and you're good to go for some years.

They simply merged it. There is no longer a DirectX SDK to go along with a Windows SDK. It's all just Windows SDK.

That said, the market hasn't even caught up with DirectX11 yet.

They took it down for a day or two after launch.
I guess EA convinced them to put it back up though.
