    Anyone here thinking that they'll be grabbing an 8 Core Zen with an IPC comparable to Intel for less than an Intel 6 core is seriously deluded. AMD will take a smaller profit than Intel, because they have to to sell any. But the advantage Intel have is that they have room to lower their profit margin. AMD are already pretty much as low as they can go.

    A small loan of a million dollars should cover it

    int smallLoan = 1000000

    Sorry, I hear Musk I think Tesla

    Also the microcode infinite loop also affects amd, and ibm power processors. also affects amd, and ibm power processors. So it's not just an Intel problem.

    Platforms cannot be moved. Rocket's take variable paths into space. The idea of the barge is to make it cheaper and hence more viable to go into space regularly, which is the point of everything Tesla is doing. A $500,000 barge that can be used 1000 times is much more cost effective than a $100,000 platform that can only be used once.

    Selectively picking words that relate to something and putting them together does not a fact make. A rocket is also Explosive. Therefore it's also an Explosive Failure, right? It failed as an explosive. Structural Failure would be if the metal of the rocket's leg bent and snapped upon landing. In this instance the leg was fine, but a mechanical component failed to prevent the leg from locking. Now, if the reason that mechanical component failed was because it snapped then you'd have a case for structural failure. But it wasn't. I failed due to ice preventing the mechanism from engaging. Hence, it's a mechanical failure if anything.

    If Edison had given up after trying to invent the Light bulb twice... (I'm fairly sure that the Edison and Light bulb story aren't true but it's an appropriate enough metaphor so don't reply to me telling me it didn't actually happen like that)

    I think most laws on issues of this type state that if an object does not fit into any existing category it is automatically illegal until a proper classification and law can be made.

    I loved the original Homefront, despite what many say about it. Unfortunately, I think the game will loose a lot of it's charm being made by a developer like Crytek or Deep Silver.

    The TV License is tied to a 'secure door'. For example, in my student flats, because the doors to our rooms had security locks on them they counted as a secure door and each room required a TV License. However, at home, we have one secure door, the front door, so the whole house is covered for as many live TV broadcasts as we can handle. You only need the license to watch live television. You can even watch BBC iPlayer without a license as long as the thing your watching isn't live. The advantage of having it separate to tax is that the BBC are not state controlled media. It also means that if you don't have a TV and never plan to watch live TV at your own house you don't have to pay it.

    Technically, the license is required for every set of rooms behind a 'secure door', not a building. If you owned two properties side by side and you used both of them as your house, if they have separate front doors and no connecting door you have to pay for two licenses, even if they have the same address. You only have to pay the fee to watch live television. You don't have to have a TV License if you simply own a television. 'Hounding dead people' is an exaggeration. If you don't inform any agency that collects a fee that a person has deceased they will seek to claim payment until proof of death is obtained.

    Hey, if someone's gonna exaggerate the TV License as being the stupidest thing he's ever heard, I'll exaggerate to weekly. Also, I find it both fucking hilarious and depressing that your counter to my statement is that it's less than once a month, like that's so much better than weekly.

    A popular show that is difficult to obtain by legal means in a lot of countries is the most pirated show? Never

    Well, at least I don't have to worry about the weekly mass shooting being at my school, so there's that

    The problem is level of skill required. RC Vehicles that are substantial enough to cause significant damage are significantly more difficult to control than drones. I could fly a 3KG drone at 300 feet with a smart phone app but I'd crash a 3KG RC Plane at 300 feet.

    I believe they're using the term 'wiped out' in the surfer sense of the word, as in knocked on his ass and ruining his run, as opposed to being killed

    It's more similar to, before warnings had to be put on the packets, but definitely when it was publicly known cigarettes were bad for you, could you sue a cigarette company for giving you cancer? While it may be public knowledge that cigarettes give you cancer, the cigarette company didn't explicitly tell you that you may develop cancer. Obviously, anyone with common sense will tell you no, you can't sue for that, but the American legal system is anything but common-sensical. Case in point, double jeopardy.

    I misread it, sorry.

    I mean, thinking as Netflix is it not worth just cutting out of New Zealand and letting the people of New Zealand petition their government in outrage?

    And this is how to justify ad-block

    But the speech in the Trailer was never spoken by Shepard throughout the trilogy, hence my assumption it's after the events of 3.

    IIRC, Destroy results in the destruction of the Citadel, the destruction of all AI, the destruction of the Geth, the destruction of the Reapers, etc etc. In the Synthesis Ending, as all life is synthetic and requires no food there is no need to worry about the future, as everyone is functionally immortal. In Control, Shepard controls the Reapers. Using their vast powers, they can probably rebuild the galaxy very quickly. In Destroy, everyone is pretty much stranded with no Mass Relays and rebuilding likely to take decades, if not centuries.
