Doesn't stop folks from trying...

It's a good feeling to learn that something I figured out on my own was already invented by someone else and is famous. That's vindication of my thought processes.

I did that with the automatic transmission (I was like 10), the toroidal supercomputer layout used by the early Crays, and variable-bit-rate encoding.

Inventing something already well-known is not a bad thing. It's a very good thing.

Yeah, I do have a problem with someone calling bullshit out of stupid animal reflex. Thirty seconds of reading the articles or the above and below comments would have explained that no, hitboxes are actually pretty forgiving in SMB if you exploit them just right.

SMB has walljumps. They are extremely hard to do.

You know, if you're bothered by a letter out of place, that makes you the week one.

Hard drives are tougher than copiers.

Active Directory is fucking excellent.

I'd've deleted that abortion of logic, sound thinking, and English composition too.

Actually I think they leave it on the back to be engulfed in water, then drop it off the top of a building, then put it on a pedestal as a mascot of good engineering.

No neutral?

I usually hate saying this, but why isn't that illegal?

Remember, as compelling it is, you have one story there. It's not data, I'm afraid.

But it does bear considering.

God Dammit. I love going to Benihana, and now I can't go there anymore.

It's a word. Deal with it.

Or go back to WoW trade chat where you sound like you belong. I don't care.

Intel values its business, government, and enterprise segments. There can be no chronically flaky hardware at all, from one end of Intel's product range to the other.

To counter the integration issue, heavy integration is a really good thing for reliability and cost control. Remember 1990? Remember failed video cards, failed disk controllers, failed sound cards, failed network adapters? There were a lot more of those, added together, than there are outright motherboard failures today. In fact, I suspect those failures have been absorbed entirely, with motherboard failures becoming no more frequent. That's a good thing.

Replying to highlight.

Just because everybody says something doesn't mean it isn't true. In fact, true things tend to get said a lot!
