Is comparing integrated GPUs really a thing that people do? Are these GPUs even remotely relevant or interesting outside of their ability to output an image at a preferably highish resolution to a display of some sort?

I think you're misinterpreting... the girls allegedly said that they did it for slenderman, and the article is basically pointing out that it's ridiculous and people shouldn't give into the misdirection. It's making the same point you are — but also trying to educate people on exactly what the girls are talking about…

According to WP (grain of salt may be necessary), Jobs put FaceTime forth as a potential open standard, and it does use open standards for its video/voip/etc systems, but Apple-controlled client certificate requirements caused it to get rejected by the industry.

Yeah, that's always been my favorite feature. winphone's contact system can automatically (or manually) link your contacts' accounts across multiple services, and the messaging app recognizes this. When my friend Matt messages me from his phone, then switches to Skype on his PC (or facebook or whatever), it's all kept…

My bad, I meant Apple OSes in general.

Except for the fact that it's only available on iOS..

It's all I use.

the first two were a result of their intention to allow games to function like steam purchases. Buy a game in a store, it ties to your XBL account, you can then play that game anywhere on any console just by logging in and downloading it. That model cannot function without certain concessions, however. People…

That's actually pretty disheartening. Sonic should be about momentum, not speed — speed is merely a byproduct of momentum. Sonic gameplay has become significantly less interesting ever since they transitioned from momentum-based gameplay to speed-based gameplay.

Sonic used to be about momentum, not speed. Sonic games were platformers first and foremost, enhanced by the addition of momentum. Their marketing focused on the speed (enabled by momentum) to contrast with competitors which were generally slow-paced.

not that i'm aware of, but it didn't need to. it simply works.

many people believe one way or another, but not everyone has to have a belief, and those that do may not adhere strictly to a 'yes/no' due to the complexity of the issue.

as a guy, it ticks me off thinking of the male behavior that necessitates segregation. Like when I started hearing about women-only train cars in japan — all I could think was "really? There are guys out there that are so fucked up that this is necessary?" Of course oglers and the like aren't quite as horrible as…

EDIT: fuckin' kinja, man.

Has nothing to do with worship. Someone can believe in a God without worshiping it. They may be ambivalent toward it, or they may even despise it. They may simply 'believe' and nothing more — no interaction, no religious practice, just the idea in their heads of "yes, my god exists". I've known people like this,…

I like this view.

I respectfully disagree. Not everything is black and white. As much as I love Carlin, ovens can in fact exist in three states — within context — unheated, heating, and heated. A state machine would in fact consider those three separate states, as they are treated differently. An unheated oven is off, a 'heating' or…

That seems like a pretty shaky interpretation. Our minds are trained on pattern recognition — 10.10 would be read as "ten dot ten" rather than "ten dot one". Why? simply put, the trailing zero stands out both by itself (no other decimal values around to necessitate an actual trailing zero, which is normally used to…

TIL: lots of people with three nipples out there.

That's not how version numbers work. .10 is not the same as .1
