That was a particularly uninteresting collection of identical-looking things.

Perhaps if you find it uninteresting you should refrain from commenting? Just a friendly suggestion. I mean, what value are you adding by saying you find it uninteresting? What makes your comment particularly annoying is that it is obvious you haven't even read the short article that accompany the pictures. It states two things: "Testing revealed that all processors are identical according to the CPU Exerciser except clones from AMD." "Interestingly, AMD i8080-compatible chips were reverse-engineered from schematics literally stolen from Intel." In other words, they are identical, which is why they look identical. DUH!

  Now now, I'm surprised my light-hearted post caused such a backlash. >Perhaps if you find it uninteresting you should refrain from commenting? Just a friendly suggestion. I mean, what value are you adding by saying you find it uninteresting? For one, I can't downvote, so this is the only way I could express my disapproval. And different opinions are valuable in themselves, as you can't have rational, democratic discourse without them. >In other words, they are identical, which is why they look identical. DUH! That doesn't even disprove what I said, rather affirms it. It's like saying "The emperor is nude, that's why he seems to have no clothes. DUH!".

    >> It's like saying "The emperor is nude, that's why he seems to have no clothes. DUH!". Exactly. Stating the obvious on a site known for intelligent discussions is frowned upon.

    > And different opinions are valuable in themselves, as you can't have rational, democratic discourse without them. No one minds different opinions. But people do want a bit more substance in those opinions so that there can be some kind of discussion. > I can't downvote, so this is the only way I could express my disapproval. Not upvoting this article, but upvoting other articles, would have been one way to express disapproval.

      Well, didn't my previous post have substance? It's like everything I say nowadays gets buried. I'm going to guess it's power users trying to silence the small fry.

        Your first post in this thread was empty. Unfortunately there is a kind of "pile on" effect, where all your posts in this thread get downvoted even if those posts don't deserve a downvote. Hopefully that will correct after a few hours - other people will upvote any incorrectly downvoted comments.
