In most cases, these people do not serve the sentence in full, but are in fact allowed out on parole in some form.

The point for length of punishment is to completely disconnect the person from their previous life and then rehabilitate them by rebuilding it. Not making their life not worth living.

It's the difference between justice systems and their goals. US justice system is about revenge, which is a common theme for countries that had their justice system built based on frontier, low resource justice.
Most of the EU justice system is built on rehabilitation, which is more common in countries with long histories and more resources to spend on individuals.

Which usually comes pretty close to real reasons for supporting the death penalty.

This is a US-centric site. Welcome to the reality.

It's not about the reasoning. It's about the personal pleasure drawn by executioner and those supporting the act from suffering of another.

Basically it's a legalized form of extreme violence.

That only applies to countries with bad justice systems based on vengeance, such as US.

In most civilized countries, life sentence means something between 10 and 30 years, long enough to count as severe punishment that completely changes person life without the downsides you mention.

Please you dumb pleb. Real men use assembler for all their computing needs, including blocking IPs. Hosts are implemented in OS that's written in wasteful crap of higher level languages.

Sorry, not seeing the "user hostility" in unticking a box once after installation of the initial version with the change and never having to touch it again.

Hell, by that measure, firefox itself is "user murdering".

Just uncheck the "allow some non-intrusive advertising" checkbox. If you know how to get adblock, you know how to uncheck the damn box that shows at the first page of the options menu.

The point is that your only alternative to "dexterous people controlling stuff by spamming commands" which is pretty much opposite of good control scheme is a tree menu.

Not any time soon. We're still massively constrained on GPU front even with current graphics. And people making games want things like ray-tracing, which means that GPUs will have to make an order of magnitude jump before they even begin thinking about saturation.

The reason why 560Ti (the card I'm using as well at the moment) is still functional is because most games are made for consoles, or at least with consoles in mind. And consoles are ancient.
Requirements on PC-only/PC optimized/next gen console games pretty much kick the card's ass at the moment. Same goes for trying to play at stable 60fps or playing at higher resolutions.

Unlikely simply due to memory bus limitations alone. Then there's the whole drivers elephant in the room.

Frankly, it's unlikely that intel even wants in on that market. The costs of entering GPU market to the point where they can threaten mid end and above discreet GPUs are astronomical and may require it to cross-license with nvidia to the point where nvidia will want x86 cross licensing - something intel will never do.

What is likely is that intel and AMD will completely demolish the current low end GPU market with their embedded solutions, while nvidia/amd discreet solutions are pushed up in speed and quality.

Radial menus are a form of a menu tree.

The obvious point is that even extremely pro-republican source is showing that anti-republican point of view is correct. Everything you just stated basically reinforces his point.

Not really, no. It will take you forever to press "right, right, right" just to navigate to tile across the screen. The entire point of tiles is that you can poke your finger at any point of the screen at any given time.

This does not apply to controller input, voice input or gestures. You can do some things with voice input by making shortcuts, but that is a very limited control scheme for tiles. Other two are simply terrible.

Effectively:
Controller/keyboard = tree based menus (were all but removed from W8 in favor of tiles, one of the biggest usability complaints).
Voice input = clear differentiated names on each object on the screen, such as for example a number.
Gesture based input = Typically functions similar to controller/keyboard in most implementations. Can be used as poor man's touch in some situations, but is woefully inaccurate and frustrating in that usage scheme.
