Every morning I wake up looking forward to them finding his bloated corpse dead on his golden toilet. Nothing but disappointment so far.
Don't forget building camps for "undesirables" and stripping political enemies of citizenship. No don't build housing for homeless veterans or anything that could help people.
You bring up a good point. He keeps talking about the "commie mayor" possibly getting elected but taking a cut of that steel deal isn't the government seizing the means of production? Or do we call it something different?
Thought I was having a nightmare. An 80 year old dementia patient running the country.
Everyone compromised speed for security without realizing it if they went for an out of order processor.
Intel did it much worse than AMD, and about the same as IBM in terms of vulnerability and performance impact of mitigation.
Core 2 was pretty decent, that's fair. But by the time the i7 came around AMD was kicking their ass at everything but single thread. Even though I am a gamer that's never been the only thing I cared about, and I've also always been cheap, so to have AMD provide dramatically more ops per buck and have very competitive processors which were outright faster in many situations has had me an AMD customer solidly since Athlon. AMD never was able to keep up with Intel's process technology, but by the time that ceased to be a thing, all Intel had left was inertia and skullduggery.
My last non-netbook Intel-based system that I bought with my own money (I had an Elitebook with a Core 2 Duo for a moment) was a P2 400 because AMD has kicked Intel right in the goodies in the market segments I care about since right around then. Only Hammer has even been slightly disappointing since Athlon, and it was still an absolute value for money champ.
That's what you said about Trump's ear, and how did that turn out?
It turns out there's still no evidence that he was ever shot.
The core 2 and i7s were very good. Everyone compromised speed for security without realizing it if they went for an out of order processor.
what an absolute joke. you are so incredibly off-base here.
In what way? Take a game and divide it by hours of entertainment it provides and then compare it other activities in a cost per hour basis. You'll find gaming is cheaper than literally anything you need to go somewhere to do, and cheaper than most other media forms you have at home. Certainly several orders of magnitude cheaper than buying a music CD or a bluray, and also cheaper than paying a streaming service.
The absolute joke here is your ability to do math.
Games are most certainly too expensive,
Games represent one of the cheapest forms of entertainment money can buy.
and you are a fuckwit
Why? Got a citation to back that up? Or do you use that as a term of endearment for everyone who says something right which you think is wrong?
What makes you think they need to follow the red book? There's no hard rule about following that spec unless you stamp the compact disc digital audio logo onto the CD package, which they don't do.
There's quite a lot of CDs on the market that don't follow the red book standard.
"Buy" access to a song on a streaming service that will go out of business and permanently revoke my access? No thanks.
Why do you need to own a song? It's a form of entertainment. It is fungible and easily replaced with another song. Look I'm making a point here, I too buy CDs but that's mostly my desire to actually support the artists in some way that actually nets them more money than being raped by streaming services. Often I actually buy a vinyl or even better, merch like T-shirts.
But as to why I subscribe to access to a streaming service? Well it's simple cost/benefit. I could spend 100s of thousands of dollars to buy a tiny fraction of what I get from Spotify for $10/month. If a song disappears? Well there's 99,999,999 other's in the library so I'm sure I can find something to listen to.
