The most expensive video game is the video game that hasn’t been released, because there will always be more expensive video games to develop.

There’s obviously a lot more science to it, and, it is being used for other things.
Also, most video games are not so much video than computer graphics cards doing calculations processed by a computer with a micro-processor.

I have a 2 GB VRAM video card which was never used due to BIOS update requirement which I never did use.
I might just bring that other desktop from Storage still with Windows 7 on it, as I’m updating 2 other terminal PCs with Windows 10.
I might as well just upgrade my already existing and validated 3 other licenses, of which I do have even more than 3 anyways.

Those are all single PC use licenses, to be used on one single CPU, which CPU have more than one microprocessors on them now, like dual core and quad core.

Also, some other licenses cover 10 or more terminals, up to like 20 or 50 or so.
Those licenses are also more expensive to manage for the person or company that does license those things.

Like, what are you gonna do if you lose a security sensitive password which controlled access to the control of those other numbers of terminals on a RAID-10.?

I know I do not only ask for more money, but I’m also in courts fighting it due to attacks against my money.

Capitalism in the 50s… savage enough to sell paint through fims featuring atomic bombs…
…but naive enough to ignore the impact of radiation, shockwave and fallout on non-burned, well upkept houses. :smile:

Also, I’m a little disappointed with the video on SC. A bit too lazy and short on details, yet they’re under assault from SC White Knights on the comments, nonetheless.

And now I’m off to bed. Nighties lovelies!

Also: 3 out of 3 vehicles are now on their way to Mars!

Let’s hope that they all make a safe arrival and deliver amazing results from their missions!

Kleptomania (klep-toe-MAY-nee-uh) is the recurrent inability to resist urges to steal items that you generally don’t really need and that usually have little value. Kleptomania is a rare but serious mental health disorder that can cause much emotional pain to you and your loved ones if not treated.Oct 21, 2017

Kleptomania - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic

[https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/kleptomania/symptoms-causes/syc-20364732#:~:text=Kleptomania%20(klep-toe-MAY,loved%20ones%20if%20not%20treated](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/kleptomania/symptoms-causes/syc-20364732#:~:text=Kleptomania%20(klep-toe-MAY,loved%20ones%20if%20not%20treated.)

Kleptomania is when you look through a keyhole to steal the content of the work from the keyboard.
Like if it didn’t exist and that it wasn’t designed for it.
It’s like typing more loudly than a dot Matrix printer without the Caps Lock key on.

32º C alone doesn’t work to sleep.
80% humidity makes it worse.

Over 31 º C is too warm.
Over 75% humidity it too humid.

Under 16.5º C is too cold.

I’m not implying my house interior is hot, but during the afternoon two hobbits came to my house and threw inside a golden ring with inscription on it and left. :man_shrugging:

Occasional Hayley photo incoming! Brace yourselves!

BOOM!
Shot through the heart
And you’re to blame
Darlin’, you give love a bad name

An angel’s smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion’s a prison, you can’t break free

Oh, you’re a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, there’s nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done


That image above of Hayley has to be the most gorgeous one(until new and better ones resurface). :crazy_face: :drooling_face:

Oh, I love her for her personality and voice too. I’m not shallow, you know.

Critical Points or, checkpoints, don’t have to be big, and, can even be infinitesimally small, or, extremely small…
Small things can matter more, and be less trivial, and make a big difference, and more than a big difference.
Trigger events don’t need to be small.
Triggers on systems are small and are designed to function effortlessly , to avoid exertion.

Small things don’t have to be trivial, however, little things can be frivolous.

That one I don’t know about yet.
I’m not sure how he would achieve that, and what it is about and how to do that.
Usually , things have to be thought about by someone before, or, someone else.

They also don’t mention when they try to credit themselves for gifts from others, while trying to make someone attacked as abnormal, in attempts to justify the discrimination and concealed deceit.
After all, it’s not their fault if someone else had trillion stolen from them…

Or, how much is it?

Compared to others who are also attacked, which is less their fault, since they have no means to prevent the damage caused to them, and the evidence against the source sought to be forfeited, so that others can be credited to benefit society , while they are illegally interfered against being able to do so, and the benefit from their work accredited to someone else who tries to embezzle their intellectual property without legally contracting to have the rights transferred through valid employment contracts, or transfer of rights, while trying to make them lose control of it, with attribution of nonsense, spam and so on.

Then, after that, come back crying, looking for military support, not realizing the damage they caused to others , while seeking to make false claims of damage to others from those they attacked, to try to diminish their liability.
Unfortunately, the military is not going to protect them anymore than their fair share after that, otherwise they too would die and be overran by the same scientific reasons and causes.

Who’s to say that the accounting for the values of the inventories being sought to be forfeited is not to be calculated.?
Those are financial networks.
No money is worth 1 cent without someone else.
For that reason again, no one is self-made, that is another fallacy,
the same fallacies used to protects those money.

The same for military assets and other trillion dollars companies.

Heh, Malcolm Gladwell… I’ve read “Outliers” and “Blink”, I liked both of them. “Outliers” really matches my undertanding of success as a random thing (thus, people shouldn’t be punished for failure, a topic on which European style welfare state is ages ahead of USA’s “I got mine, so f*** you if you don’t” mentality).

Also, a random SMBC comic i’ve had a good laugh with it…
