Oh don't do that! I thought I'd ordered the full argument and not some five-post quickie! :( Yes, I remember the thread. I thought both the offending statement and the over-reaction to it rather comic as well. Seriously - this happened in June, and we're almost in September. Tell me you're not...

I think the Lump in question regards himself as a fabulous specimen of Lump-kind and would like nothing better than to preen in front of a mirror. You need to pick a punishment that doesn't sound like a paradise ;)

Apparently Spotify identified the risk of some accounts getting hijacked by use of the same password on multiple networks: This link explains. Now, if you've never had a spotify account... maybe somebody else registered one using your credentials? An inquisitive person might reset the password...

Selectively quoted again, but rest assured that I have read, and thought about, all that was written. Something about my current job - a lot of it is spent writing letters. My clients have particular opinions, the construction contractor has particular opinions, the contract has its own...

For a man that claims that waiting is your thing, your sure are impatient! I'm busy, I'll respond to your post before last in a few more days. Please try to stall your apotheosis until then :p

D~ I'd stated that you were allowing your own prejudices to bubble to the surface. I stand by that. You may have misunderstood and assumed that, as the subject in hand was AMD, that I was suggesting you were biased towards Intel: that is not what I was referring to. You have a simple dislike...

In the grand sweep of history, universal suffrage and liberal democracy are anomalous. We're just returning to the historical average.

At this point, I'm starting to think that the only way to lance this particular boil is to go for the meanest, nastiest, hardest Brexit possible. There are a number of politicians, including our own PM, whose careers are defined by agitating for separation from the EU, and who will always...

OK, but it'll take a little while. Last week wasn't too busy, this week is.

Seems this sometimes happens in Windows as well - Make sure your compatibility settings are for WinXP, and maybe reinstall into a completely new Wine profile to ensure there are no conflicts/temporary files with other games. I can't imagine drivers being a problem for DX6-era games, but worth a...

I could, but it would provoke a pointless argument between old friends that I have no intention of losing due to hot words on an internet forum. Ultimately, this is just text on a screen. Anyway - the initial question was why you still need an nVidia card to get top graphics performance. Simply...

D~ While its true that corporations don't always act in the best interests of employees or wider society, you cannot say with such certainty that AMD is an evil monolith hell-bent on domination. Its actions to date don't reflect the picture your posts paint - you're allowing your own...

I get no screen tearing, stuttering, artifacts or blockies and good hardware acceleration with video using open-source amdgpu drivers on Raven Ridge (Vega 8 mobile), so based on a sample size of 1, I'd say they're fine. I get screen tearing with nV closed-source 340-series drivers on my older...

OK it's an old article from the Daily Fail, so should be regarded as 90% fiction with just enough truth not to get sued, but have a link: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-4733298/Darts-set-Olympics-Michael-van-Gerwen-backs-bid.html On that basis, so should engineering...

It's no different to darts, which as far as I'm concerned as something to do between pints at the pub. Fans of chucking weighted needles around while drunk have, however, petitioned the IOC to get darts added to the list. eSports probably require somewhat greater skill, with similar physical...

For EU citizens, the lucky souls, the EU will no doubt look very closely at this move by the FBI, and how it fits in with the GDPR and their own jurisprudence. Expect to see FB and friends back in court until they come up with a plan to keep EU data separate. For we unfortunate...

No matter what we do, we will not manage to exterminate all life on Earth, even if we manage to wreck the biosphere that we need to keep humans alive. We might wipe out many species of plant, animal and insect, but there are plenty of other species that do very well out of us, and others that...

I don't disagree. Not completely. I think you're just a few centuries ahead of your time. First thing to remember is that space is vast. And empty. The "asteroid belt" is not a crowded region of rocks bumping into each other, like in the cartoons and low-budget movies, but, well, empty. With a...

I dunno, half-built distro with really good documentation? I often find if I have a problem, there's an Arch wiki for it...

It's alright... once we're done scorching it to ashes, you can have it. ... we'll be on to Mars by then :P
