If you're willing to pay. Not everyone need the top performing CPU on the market.

A very valid point, but irrelevant on the desktop area (unless you live somewhere where electricity is expensive, maybe?). Quite valid for laptops though.

Really? You think that will make people choose Intel? 90+% of the people don't even know what overclocking is.

As do AMD's.

Sure, there's plenty of scenarios where Intel is a better choice. But there's plenty of others where AMD is the best choice.

Look like you've missed the last two generations of Intel HD video. An Intel HD 5000 is a VERY GOOD video card, even for some gaming (though not sure about last-gen gaming).

With Intel I get 12hs out of my laptop (MacBook Air 2013). I'd never go AMD on a laptop.

Then again, you're right that you get more bang for buck: my desktop is AMD. Eight 3.0Ghz cores for a very low price. But price isn't always the only factor.

That would be very sensible and not at all capitalist. It'll never happen in USA!

Honestly, I'm starting to think I should check out MyCleanPC. If SO MANY anonymous posters recomend it, it must be something special!

But he didn't walk in. He just peeked from outside, and didn't touch anything. It's not ilegal to LOOK inside your house from outside if the wind blows the door open.

Again, the need for parents to leave money for their descendant's to have a home is yet another flaw in the system. It just proves that getting decent housing is inaccesible/too hard.

NEEDS should be covered by the goverment. And leaving money for you children to afford luxuries is sort of not-capitalist, because it means they got free money just for being your children (which is something we inhereted from feudalism/monarchies, and not actually capitalist).

Maybe the real issue is that your goverment isn't actually providing education for your own children. Your dependency on being able to leave capital to you descendants is merely a symptom of that actual problem.

I know this. This does not invalidate my former statement.

They do in my experience. And I've yet to come across somebody that's ever used MMS. I know I haven't.

Well a great truth is, we used to have issues with qt due to it's former license. IIRC, it used to be dual commercial/GPL. It isn't anymore.

vlc isn't backed by any company.

And most large software IS backed by companies. Care to mention some big GUI proyect not-backed by some company OTHER than firefox? Because I can't even think of one. KDE uses qt.

Perhaps not "industry standard", but it IS used by several proyects that dominate in their area, and several quite large (lage as in "with a large userbase") projects:

Skype, Vlc, Teamspeak, Origin, and lots more:

I agree on this point, but, what about Qt? Qt is superior to gtk in almost every way, cross platform, and not "bound" to anything. Plus, the license is pretty liberal.

If google pulled out of india, people would just use something else, and google would permanently loose that market, it's as simple as that.
