This must be what older generations felt like when music kept getting redefined by younger generations. Here I am, screaming at my screen "Why can't you whipper snappers just leave it the way it is! I like the floppy disk icon! This is the

On the bright side, I don't think EA could possibly be as bad at game production as they are at public relations.

After reading a little more its clear that my original post was incorrect. Even the original tone of "crippling" hardware seems a little far fetched to me now, it seems like these cards are just optimized differently for specific tasks (gam

Maybe the configuration is a little different too. If the professional counterpart is actually worse for gaming, perhaps its because the resources are allocated to supporting multiple displays instead? In that case, is it reasonable to cons

For the past few months my GeForce 450 drivers have been acting up, and my computer was actually unusable until I disabled just about all hardware accelleration for the card. Is it possible that the new drivers for this card are so unstable

It could apply to anything, I've heard of vegans who go as far as not using anti-bacterial soap because they don't want to kill the bacteria, or not eating honey because they consider the honey as stolen property belonging to the bees. My p

Well, then we shouldn't have an income tax at all then. If the rich aren't paying enough in taxes already, and the tax burden on the lower and middle class is already crushing them, then cutting their taxes means they will have more money t

Nobody and nothing gives you rights. You are born with them, and its up to you to assert them for yourself. Nobody is obligated to protect your rights for you (and vice versa), but they can do so voluntarily. Looking at it like this, it mak
