I wouldn't even say it is interesting from a business perspective. 2 years ago 4k was already well under way, everyone that was producing OS's, media players or consumption devices was requesting content for testing.

you answered your own question. It should be regulated or listed as fraud simply because many falsely believe it to work and may use homeopathy as apposed to seeking real medical treatment. This has knockon ramifications for healthcare costs as by the time the person realises they are were conned they may be far sicker (sometimes terminally so), the knockon effects go to family costs, social services and many others. homeopathy is simply fraud, it has both financial and medical consequences for people and society in general.

Monster Cables at least actually work for the basic purpose. yes they are massively, hideously overpriced and prey on the gullible that believe you can make 1's and 0's more crisp, but they still perform the basic role. Homeopathy does not do anything, the only possible benefit is as a placebo, it does not actually work as a medical treatment.

nope, it means the game was refused classification and it is illegal to sell it or import. Even after they opened up the classification laws we still have a range of games that will never be legal to be sold here, anything that shows illegal drug use, violence on woman etc etc. The summary makes it sound like the bans have gotten worse, in actual fact the laws have become far more relaxed here in the last few years with the introduction of an R classification, just the proliferation of people trying to cash in on cheap gimmick apps to attract immature buyers has increased 100 fold.

So is this new retarded fucking share button on Slashdot BETA 2. FIRE YOUR DESIGNERS Slashdot and find someone with half a fucking clue.

China especially is a far closer friend than the US to Russia, history has shown the US is far more likely to be engaged in rat fucking given the past 30 years of meddling in politics in the region.

12 million in licensing fees? so they only sold 12 cables in that time?

I abandoned Nvidia about 5 years ago after their support and drivers made me want to throw my $500 card against a wall. I sold it and switched to AMD (which hasn't been trouble free either, but definitely better). I was just considering switching back to Nvidia for the lower TDP, but the HBM info that was released earlier this month stopped my purchase. I will wait to see some benchmarks from reputable sites before I decide whether to stay AMD or jump ship.

benchmarks are generally useless from Nvidia or AMD, you should see benchmarks as the sample boards hit some of the good review sites like tomshardware or anandtech

Actually it IS emulation. there are plenty of better articles around the web on, including some posted in the various discussions here. It can't play the disks, but it really is the original binaries being emulated, games don't need to be ported. however the emulator seems to need a lot of tweaking for each title hence the restricted library set to start with, the various dev houses also must agree to allow their game to run in the emulator.

not likely. When Xbox One (and Ps4 for that matter) were release they were both missing massive amounts of basic features, backward compatibility has always been a nice to have feature but it doesn't sell a lot of consoles so I would think it would be way down on the list of features to implement.

these types of people always believe they are smarter than everyone else and can't possibly be caught, it is usually that same attitude that gets them caught as the belief makes them make moronic mistakes (like boasting about being untouchable). They will keep believing that right up until people with badges and guns kick down their doors and then scream how they have been unjustly framed.

no it won't, at some stage the money gets spent, whether it is on a packet of chips or a book. Unless you only hoard the money and never spend it then eventually it is traceable. The simple fact is people have real physical presences and require real physical items to live, those interactions are tracable, amusingly crypto currencies actually make those interactions far far easier to trace than cash.

your ignorance is truly mind boggling even for slashdot, that is saying a lot considering some of the ignorance that is regularly displayed here.

bullshit. Jury nullification is a breach of your responsibility as a juror and a complete cop out. A jury is there to render a non biased verdict as to whether someone broke the law they were charged with, nullification is dangerous (though sometimes I agree with it too, but should be a very very rare occurance). A Jury is often working on incomplete information, this is done to attempt to keep bias out. As an example I was a juror on a murder trial, we had one member of the Jury that even though she thought the woman was obviously guilty she had believed the sob story told and wanted to basically give a not guilty verdict as she thought the punishment was too harsh. We spent more time in the Jury room than in the court room as we were excluded from a lot of evidence and discussion. It wasn't until after the trial we found out what a scumbag the woman on trial really was, but that would have potentially biased our verdict to assume she was guilty (e.g. wasn't till afterwards we found it was the 3rd person she had stabbed, or that she was a druggie with a long history of violent attacks).
