If you make $60K/yr and take home $40K/yr after taxes, deductions, insurance, 401k, etc...and your wife makes an extra $10K, you will still take home the same amount of your salary...$40K/yr....she will be taxed at what ever rate is appropriate for earnings between $60K and $70K...which is probably around 25%.

My anger is directed against people who make idiotic financial decisions and force the rest of us to foot their bill when they crash and burn. So more power to you for being poor and in debt but feeling like a God. Glad your paying down your debt. We need more people like you.

I don't mind my tax rate (which is about average for middle and upper middle class America) and I never commented on how much I spend. I too am debt free. I don't know where you get off attacking me with your false assumptions.

You have no fucking clue huh? And you're obviously young and single with no experience managing your finances.

The average American salary is around $40K/yr.

That's more like $2,500/month after taxes, health insurance, etc...if you're lucky enough to take home 75% of your income. I take home about 60%.

The Tesla will cost you $1,300 month + $200 month for insurance + $100 month for power = $1,600

About 65% of your monthly spending. Good luck living in your car with the remaining $900 month.

Oh, and if you don't want to be a complete ass hat, you should be saving at least $500 of that $900 each month for unexpected expenses.

So you've got $400 a month. Hope you have a way to cook ramen in that Tesla home of yours.

And don't get a bad tooth ache. That will cost you $2,000 to fix. Don't have to go to the ER. That will cost you at least $2,000.

Sounds like you've never played a nintendo game on modern hardware. Nothing crippled about it. Great graphics, animations, gameplay, resolution, frame rate and fun. Most of the excellent Nintendo games are first party so Nintendo hardware is the only development target.

A Nintendo Wii U console costs about $100 once you factor out the cost for the elaborate tablet like controller and the top end bunded games. It's about 2x the power of an Xbox 360 or PS3. Show me a better computer for $100.

Comment clock speed is not the right comparison (Score 4, Insightful) 338

Ubisoft may have only had 4-5 cores for AI and other calculations — scarcely more than last gen, and the Xbox 360 and PS3 CPUs were clocked much faster than the 1.6 / 1.73GHz frequencies of their replacements.

Clock speed is not a good comparison. These processors should process data much faster than those in the Xbox 360 and PS3 despite the clock speed differences.

CPU that has to process the AI, the number of NPCs we have on screen

Maybe you didn't target your game properly.

Many Nintendo games run in 1080p and 60 frames/second on the Wii U which is much less powerful...because Nintendo makes that their target when deciding how much AI and graphics detail to put on the screen at once.
