Do you mind if I accelerate him to 0.9999c for my 10,000 years? The time dilation should be quite effective at that point.

Oh, is that it? You're getting all over-sensitive over that statement? After all these pages, that's the bit you're sore about? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D Thank you for the best laugh I've had all week. Of course I exaggerated that sentence. That was its purpose - it's a baited hook, to get you to...

Having just reread the thread, As far as I can tell, most of your argument is "I haven't said what you've said I've said, now prove me wrong." I'm now lost as to what I've said you've said that you think you haven't said that we haven't already discussed. Got a quote for me?

That'd work - either that, or an audience that just regarded him in stony-faced silence with nary a flicker of interest in whatever he had to say.

Which assertion of mine do you think I've not responded to adequately? I'm starting to think that you're expecting me to respond to cloasters' rather different argument, as well as my own...

I'm not sure... I think he'd always find himself agreeing with his interlocutor. I wouldn't be surprised if after a few hours, he's appointed his various reflections as every single secretary of state and all the joint chiefs...

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...
