Oh AMD, you've done it again[continued]

upper left corner when movie is paused. it will open a whole list of options for subtitles.

Thank you for your help with this but the film must be banished from my Netflix zone.

I've tried all conceivable left hand upper corners. As this movie is being un-cooperative I'll banish it to limbo. OK, so I'm a spoilsport.

Gentlemen:

At the risk of escalating this already intense discussion of a now-personal nature, I am failing to see how any of this is related to 'Hardware' anymore. As a result I am going to hose you all down, before we get into a dick-swinging contest, which I see coming rapidly. Everyone is getting defensive, and I don't want to see anyone *getting their retaliation in first*.

Let's remember that our friendships here should mean far more than attempting to prove ourselves to each other. This thread is destined to get ugly, and I, for one, don't like that. Take a couple of deep breaths, and settle down.

You, too, Daniel. I created a special forum area just for you, and for this purpose. Use it instead. One thing that would really help around here is to keep our posting on-topic. Both you and George are often guilty of not doing that. Not *every* topic has to turn into a political/ideological/philosophical exchange. At GOL it is commonplace; I've seen it several times in the music thread, where all we want to do is to just make suggestions about music and artists we admire. We keep the leash pretty loose here, but maybe it should be tightened a bit. Keep the arguments about your principles where they belong.

If you guys insist on pursuing this particular discussion, may I suggest that it be taken into a different forum, preferably 'The Path I Walk', since it has now become a solely philosophical discussion rather than a Hardware one. Feel free to 'discuss' this further there.

Alternatively [and preferably] we can drop it altogether, and go back to being good mates again. For 13 years I've enjoyed the occasional banter, but this doesn't feel like fun.

From what I see, all this began with post #15. Not that it is so controversial in and of itself, but since it's cited thereafter in several of the posts, it has to go. So, with your agreement, I'll move that one and all posts after it to 'The Path I Walk', and you can go at it there, or as I said before, just let it go.

If anyone feels I'm out of line by saying this, let me know now, so I have an excuse to close the thread altogether. It's my job here to maintain a site that is appealing to *all* of our membership. I don't really think that our *other* readers are interested in a hardware discussion gone *sour*.

Thank you Thunder Rd! The adult in the room has spoken, I agree with his agreement.

"It will all clear up for you as soon as you except (sic) that AMD is Intel." From post number 15 in this thread.

Above is the quotation from my original post.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit. Edit. Edit.

This is a plain statement. You absolutely refuse to acknowledge its existence.
This is the nub of my feeling annoyed with your overweening superiority.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Original post continues.

No, AMD is certainly not Intel. Intel keeps on making defective CPU's with an endless list of basic security flaws. AMD has a handful of the same security flaws.

Yet AMD is FIXING these problems with its processors. Intel does NOTHING about theirs and keeps on manufacturing defective processors and releases a few fixes that may or may not work in a resentful and delayed fashion. These are the actions of a corporation that says "up yours" to the world.

Edit. Edit. Edit. Why do you continue to completely DISREGARD my original statement???



Dammit, it probably annoys me too much, wish I could shut up and stand pat. But I feel provoked because I get no notice of my opinion from Daniel~.

George you seem to think I If I don't post I'm somehow wronging you. You seem to think I'm some how obligate to serve your whim. I'm not.
All voluntary relationships between people depend in the long run entirely upon tactful reserve.
This reserve is entirely at the digression of all parties.

The truth is you know exactly why I didn't respond. I already did. But you think I owe someone who makes accusations against me then when asked for proof, a quote that proves those accusations you go right ahead and make new unfounded accusations.

How long do you expect me to respond to such behavior?

"In such a situation all one can do is leave the person to themselves not sparing them the humiliation that results."

Kaitain tells me he thinks I'm being childish, but just because he is still young.

I guard my honor ferociously. It is all I have ever had.

I do not lie. I do not lightly accuse others.I believe that over the years I have shown you my good intentions. You have most certainly shown me kindness.

That buys you nothing when you slander me. you attacked me and got your ass kicked, lick your wounds and learn your lesson.

And stop bitching about being neglected. If you need me I'll be there.

This is kindness not an obligation on my part Now stop pestering me and fix yourself.
Tomorrows another day, let this day pass.
