Doesn't beat the fact that the retail copy of some PC games are just download codes in a DVD case. :-O

I won't condemn a whole universe of movies just because of one (or a few) bad experience. I hated episode VIII... it all started with Luke, chucking his father's lightsaber over his shoulder and was cemented with the "crank call" scene with the command deck at the beginning of the movie and...

But sometimes you get Daikatana when you give a successful developer all the leeway they want. ;-) Even the best need some oversight... but the problem is what is the right amount of oversight... it definitely is different for each studio. But everybody can agree that EA has definitely driven a...

Yeah, cause third party mods at an obscure site for a moddable game are 100% under the control of Bethesda. :rolleyes: It's exactly like how the skimpy outfits and unrealistic physics are implemented by the developer in the DoA series of games. /s

I see it this way: Orville is the spiritual successor to ST:TNG. It's a bit more campy and has more juvenile humour (Seth is Seth, you can't avoid the immature jokes). It has the same straightforward plots with a moral point that are aimed and a younger audience and Family Guy fans. It's...

So what. Danica Patrick already proved this point. As a woman, different rules apply. Unfortunately that means that it's harder to get started because of bullying/preconceptions, but once one makes it into the upper realms, it also means (if you're also reasonably attractive) more income...

Those "rogue" VW Engineers are now working for Huawei. ;-) They'll blame it on a worker bee leaving a debug-only "optimization" in.

When the general public discovers VR Pron sales will surge. Edit: mispelled "public" as "pubic"... subliminal slip? Who knows?

No kidding. This is nVidia you're talking about. They TAKE NO PRISONERS when it comes to business decisions. They'll probably do an out-of-band driver release just to fix this. You're such a dreamer to even mention this: "they [nVidia] may let it slide." ;-)

Actually, it's pretty easy to get on the HOV lane going in the wrong direction for this particular location (one just has to turn into the lane immediately to the left of the correct lane.) I have personally driven up this particular HOV direct access on/off ramp (on the correct side). At...

I get your point. But you've made your argument much weaker because you tried to push the comparison too far to IMHO unreasonable levels. McSkillet a) Lost everything in his STEAM account (worth 100k to 200k) because what he did was against the terms of service of STEAM. (He broke the rules...

Wow, 7nm process based unreleased ARM processors faster than 14nm process based released Intel processors. Who da thunk? Technically, the simpler and more modern ARM instruction set based processors can scale to faster speeds than the more complex and saddled with 1980's backwards...

Really? Have you not seen all the articles throughout 2017 about Windows 10 running on Snapdragon 835 processors? You can even go out and BUY your very own Windows 10 "Always Connected PC" running on an ARM processor...

You've pretty much described EVERY high end smartphone released. They won't run at 100% load for very long without throttling due to lack of heat dissipation.

Enough with the speculating what the root cause is... So... does the updated firmware "fix" the problem? Enquiring minds want to know.
