Yeah, it's a shithole country. That doesn't meant they don't do something sensible from time to time.
Fewer people would become diabetic?
You might want to point out what part of the constitution gets ignored. Because so far I fail to see what that should be.
As long as this terror state has a permanent seat and thus a permanent veto against pretty much anything sensible, we ain't gonna get anywhere.
Dump that shit, make a new one, and leave that has-been power out.
Sony is segmenting a generation of their console, something no one has ever done before. The refresh isn't good enough to be a new generation, so they're doing this half-assed thing which is going to irritate a lot of people with games targeted at the new version of the system that don't run well on the old one.
Their console is already the sales leader in this generation, they're just screwing with success at this point. You're supposed to ride out the console as long as it's profitable, and take the time to make a greater successor.
Microsoft is trying to keep PC gaming going because it's a big reason why consumers buy computers with their OS on them.
Microsoft needs that to happen so that they can sell "OEMs" (most of them don't design most or all of "their" machines anyway) their OS. Competent corporate users don't want anything to do with a bundled license, only small businesses should be using those at this point.
It's too bad Kinect wasn't more successful, for Microsoft that is. It would have helped them if they could have differentiated their console.
On the other hand if we extrapolate this EU cellphone stuff to other markets, closed game consoles' time is limited anyway.
Games for Xbox being on other platforms surely does hurt it, but it also helps the Xbox that PC gaming is strong and it's easy to make a game that will run on both PC and Xbox. They don't have to do nearly as much to convince developers to make games for their platform.
So your solution is to monetize everyone further? At least you're not hiding your proud fascism.
It's called selfishness, and you will keep it up right until we are all in our graves.
We do not appreciate it if former employees post confidential information about the inner workings online, even after leaving The Company.
That incident will be examined.
You install unsolicited code on something other than a VM that contains no sensitive information, running on a computer you will wipe after the interview, on a connection that isn't physically separated from the rest of your network?
Sorry, your security conscience is not at the level we require.
Patching other programs' memory was a feature in those days. It did make the system quite insecure of course, but it was already quite insecure. Meanwhile it let you do fun tricks. The Amiga was another platform where the lack of memory protection was a virtue. On the other hand, it also made it infeasible as a general purpose computing system going forwards. We did have some pretty good virus scanners, but we needed them.
I am running XFCE and Compiz on a system with a 4060. It's lovely. The animations could be a little smoother, but I am absolutely loving the high quality mipmaps that are missing from KDE. You can really see what is going on in the icon hover previews. My CPU is a 1600 AF (Pinnacle Ridge) which is pretty poky by modern standards, but it was replacing a FX-8350.
Now I just need to finish building avant-window-navigator. The XFCE4 dock is pretty meh. The fucking clock stopped updating for over an hour this morning...
I think most people follow brands and don't think. They don't wanna think. It's tiresome. Maybe they have to do it at work and then they wanna let their brain rest, most of them don't seem to think much at work either though.
Japanese cars have been the best on the planet since they first got their shit together in the late eighties, except for this brief moment where Tesla has had the best EVs because they were the first to put together a bunch of available technologies in a convincing way. Anyone who had R/C cars could tell you that it was time to do it. We just didn't all have emeralds in our pockets.
The situation you describe is the responsibility of the parents. Simple as that.
What is your plan for what to do when they aren't able to meet that responsibility? You need to have one, it's all of our responsibility, "Simple as that."
You want to pass judgement, but I'm betting you don't have a plan for how to make things better. I can have respect for ideas, but not for a lack of them.
