A program that automatically only blocked dangerous or irritating advertisements, would be fantastic. Ones that run audio, hijack the page, cause performance problems, etc, are the only reason I have blocking software to start with. I turn it off where it's not needed.

The Bible was used as justification to a populace that was kept intentionally ignorant by restricting it's print to a language none of them could read. The only thing that compares to the general tenor of the second half of the Qur'an, is Leviticus 20:13. Homosexuals are executed as a matter of course in the Islamic world, so on this one point Islam is no better and actively engaging in it today. Calls to violence such as the conquest of Canaan are event specific, la

Ban me whenever you feel like it, but the religion is crazy until they rewrite their holy books to not say they're supposed to enslave and kill anyone that doesn't convert. At present, there is widespread support among even the western populations. You get similar numbers for chopping peoples heads off because they converted from Islam as you would for things like outlawing abortions or banning abstinence free sex ed from public schools in the Christian community.

I'm not even going to discuss that.[/quote] It's religicide, not genocide. There's nothing wrong with the "genus", just the intolerant, apocalyptic religion most of them happen to be worshiping.

9/11 could have been stopped by any number of things. Bugging everyone's calls, secretly monitoring everyone in their homes, strip searching people before they get on flights, the list is unimaginably long, basically only limited by one's imagination. I may hold Apple with the same disdain I'd have viewing a pile of dog shit on my lawn, but the government can still go fuck itself. They have no right to demand private individuals destroy their pro
Well, culture production is actually reasonable to produce. You have a base of 1, irrespective of population and focus, so your manufacturing focused world is going all out on that 5% per 10 points of manufacturing, rounded up. If you've got a 300 manufacturing world, that's more than double the base culture spread. A ~300 manufacturing world with 100 pop and a 400% production boost, will be nearly a third of that when you switch to wealth focus, and

They might not actually be able to. If it's designed to wipe itself when tampered with, and it's memory doesn't leave retrievable information after it wipes, then there is conceivably no way to unlock it without the four digit key it supposedly requires. If it can be tampered with safely, then the tamper proof design is flawed. I'd assume it's flawed, since people aren't perfect, but who knows, maybe they've actually made it tamper proof. :)
No one, you don't need both. You can get a 190% production bonus on a Death Furnace with Terrans, if I've done my math right, before any tile modifiers, so 220% if it's on a plus 3. You get 40% from maxed out government, and 30% from three economy starbases. That's 290% right there with just a Death Furnace, no Hive needed, which only requires 26 population to hit 100 raw production, minus flat raw production modifiers, such as the durantium refinery, which i
The Death Furnace is good for an easily obtained 110% raw production bonus on one planet, you can maximize further by putting high manufacturing boosts next to it for even larger bonuses. 50% base, 10% level bonus. Slave pits boost food, research, and production, making them powerful manufacturing and research centerpieces that also boost population. In combination with a healthy food buildup, you can easily hit 50 plus population on all high quality, non pr
Your economic ideas are somewhat problematic. Population is indeed powerful, a high raw output is far superior to just stacking up more and more production, but skipping specialized worlds is highly inefficient. It's quite feasible to get 100+ raw manufacturing on a death furnace world, but if you have 100+ raw manufacturing, just a single structure will give you far more research or money than you can get from producing it with manufacturing. </
They could dump it entirely and stick to other platforms, but that's about it. Even DX11 is horribly out of date for modern processing architecture. It simply doesn't work for anything with unpredictable loading requirements. Things like shooters and RPG's could limp along for quite a while without noticing it, but the mechanical limitations crippled strategy games years ago.
If your one ship with all the vision and boosts is shot down, you lost your fleet, or you set them up exceedingly poorly. The ship with all the boosts should be a support ship or capital depending on if it has weapons, neither of which should ever be a priority target. If you haven't got any escorts to absorb damage, then you're building fleets wrong and wasting your ships. This is something the AI doesn't do in general, they build ships, not fleets. &nbs
4)They actually do starbase for range at least, but they wait until after they've declared war to start expanding towards someone they can't reach, which means you're rarely surprised by a non-immediate neighbor as they can end up waiting a very long time to actually get to you. Planning ahead would be very nice. 5)Using multiple damages and armor types to counter attackers. The AI can only handle one, apparently, it makes destroying them late ga
Those stats fluctuate so radically in both directions that it's clear they're not accurate. Usage statistics of that sort can be taken as ball parking the trend over years, but I wouldn't pay their monthly changes any mind at all, nor the actual percentages.
Right off hand, I'd say either HDR is off, or it can't keep up with the light sources.

Starkers, Microsoft had revenue around 100 billion last year. I'm pretty sure they're quite happy with sales of Windows 10. They can pretty much take a shit on a disk and make money off it.

As someone with one of those very strange brains that remembers things oddly, I can explain my typical process of recollection. It's a bit like random firing, a vast sea of facts that can't be sifted through, and you lock into a particular subject and things just start coming up. Actually visualizing what someone or something looks like is like trying to focus on a spot in my vision, it slides away as soon as you do. If you're trying to recall
In my case, verbose repartee is how I keep my hands from degrading to the point where I can't type at all. Short and succinct isn't much good for practice. Edit: Type ftw, really haven't been typing enough the last several months. It's gone completely to shit!
I can do long division in my head, as long as I can memorize the equation. Suffice it to say the length of the equation is somewhat drastically short at this point. :)
Wait, people can do this while they're awake? I kid. Well, sort of, I've never been able to do it, I just figured out that I wasn't a visual learner when I was still in elementary school. The only thing confusing me here is that scientists just discovered this. I thought this was the whole point of some people being visual learners, who can see and store that imagery for recollection, and people who can't and learn best either by hearin
It's not really possible for an OS to not install. You can, today, install windows 7 on a skylake system. For this to change, Microsoft would have needed to plan ahead and purposefully design the operating system with future knowledge of Intel's architecture ten years later, to break and no longer work with it after a while. You may not be able to get everything working, but the only way they can make the stuff not work on things it currently does, i
Windows 7 is in extended support, so it's already down to security updates only. It sounds more like they're talking about some people getting more than just security updates, not that they're trying to shaft users beyond what they pledged in terms of the support schedule.
MS is saying they wont support Windows 7, not that it wont run. They can claim that it wont run, but they really have nothing to do with what hardware Windows 7 does or doesn't run on. Their current prevarications on what they'll support or wont support are irrelevant if Intel still puts out compatible firmware and drivers for a new chipset. Intel will continue to do so until there is not enough demand to make it worthwhile and they don't have to worry about not
