There is only one way to judge a project with infinite scope change . . . . that it is not seriously or effectively managed. Whatever else it is . . . is open to interpretation.
Prior behavior is very important in proving intent. Nv (like many companies) have a documented history of misrepresentation, the 970 being a recent prominent one. This is why companies settle rather than go to court where there is a likelihood of a jury assigning additional penalties as...
If I was going to make a "origin" star wars movie i would explore the history surrounding Sifo Dyas and what led to the secret creation of a clone army. Its almost a clean slate. You can do anything. No need to reinvent or castrate characters.

with his brand new IPhone 8 in his pocket. She made him try some cologne. By the time they got on the train to head home he had received a text from the cologne vendor and a facebook post.
His phone was in his pocket the whole time, locked. He asked me about it.
I theorize that there was some...
I was a Wing Commander Junkie. I became a backer in 2012. I was enthusiastic thru 2015. In 2016, I got my refund (~$1600USD). I am now all-in for $35USD starter package and I have 5(LOL) AMD Omega's that were packaged with buying a GPU.
Basically, CIG has fallen prey to allowing the visionary...
The content distribution industry is in transition. Some of the inertia is because cable companies have had a monopoly and haven't dealt fairly with content providers. This opened up opportunities for Netflix and the like. What I find funny is that all these old school companies like CBS and...
The original SC TOS actually promised a refund if the game was not released within 18 months of the original stated time frame. That language made the project attractive at some level. Furthermore, there is less of a case for SC to be considered a kickstarter once they internalized everything...
There is a subreddit dedicated to people posting their refunds. Mine is posted there ~1600USD. I got in in 2012 and out in 2016. Over the course of that time I concluded that I loved the project but hated the way it was managed. There is no doubt Roberts is a visionary; he just also happens to...
Yesterday Google decided my PC email client was no longer good enough for them requiring me to set my google profile to allow "less secure applications" access to my email. A quick search found that Google has set an arbitrary security requirement favoring their own products and use this...
Thanks for reminding me how futile it is to post on the internet. My point . . . . first you first said blithely that they are too poor to adjust their plans. When challenged on that point you acknowledged that they could get access to Capital but it might be risky . . . . is that you are a flip...
Either they are TOO POOR and can not do anything or they are subject to good business decisions and use their capital wisely. You have claimed both. Your first sentence regarding risk is ridiculous. They won't be going to a loan sharking operation for a bridge loan.

Just for yucks here is the IBM marketing on their newest MF https://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/hardware/z13.html
They claim it is the fastest single-threaded CPU in existence and clocks out at over 30,000 transactions per second. No I can not convert that the ghz )
Actually .. . .
In the late 1950s, computer users and manufacturers were becoming concerned about the rising cost of programming. A 1959 survey had found that in any data processing installation, the programming cost US$800,000 on average and that translating programs to run on new hardware...
Many that I have worked at or have knowledge of still use mainframes for middle-office and back-office processing. Distributed systems rule the trading floors and investment bankers desks. Over the years many ancillary functions have been moved around but the foundational record keeping is done...
Welcome to batch processing. Every night 10's of millions of events must be processed, data files created and handed off. There is a relatively small window in which to accomplish this. Mainframe COBOL gets this done day in and day out with almost no downtime and no errors. When maintenance...

It seems to me you do not understand economics or the marketplace. Just because AMD does not offer a product that is competitive on the high end does not mean they are not competitive on the whole. The market for CPU and GPU is vast. AMD's new products insure that they will have a growing market...
In 1987 I got an IBM RS6000 fresh off the assembly line. I wrote the first 'C' based algorithm to calculate the Option Adjusted Spread for Mortgages at PaineWebber. It had that very lock. In contrast the comparable HP machines of that time did not have locks.
According to https://robertsspaceindustries.com/funding-goals : Current funding $144,208,360
OP there is a lot wrong with the SC project but you clearly have not done your research.
