So basically, AMD trying to keep up with the high end intels. Only pricier.

AMD is pricier than Intel you say? Then take a look at the diagram "Performance per dollar" here:

Calling Trumps win a "coup" is nonsense. If media were to tell you what party or canditate to vote for, it would also not be called a coup.

Here you can read what is refered to as coup:

I personally don't mind much that Trump is president of the US. As long as he doesn't start new wars and keeps his promises against new foreign state interventions - apart from fight against Islamic State, I actually think it is the lesser of the two evils.

@Calmus : Even coming from a country more left-winged than the US (France), and even being quite the left-winged type myself, I don't believe in communism at all. It's too much of an utopia.
And as for AI... Do you really believe we can develop a society with more and more machines and better and better AI for these machines, to the point humanity almost don't have to work anymore, without having the machines contest it ?
If it comes to the point that robots equal fully-grown humans, I don't think the situation would last long... Why, you'll ask ? Because, it would be kind of creating a new triangular trade, with the only difference these new slaves would be made of metal and wires instead of flesh, and that we'd create it.
The farer AI comes, the closer we are from coming to a point where it will actually be sentient. And if we make it to this point, we'll have to acknowledge them rights.

If we progress further with AI intelligence research through the next few decades, I believe it's very likely that (Artificial) Superintelligence will end all our intellectual work. Superintelligence will be the last invetion we have to make. Thats the opinion of some scientists, such as Nick Bostrom and Sam Harris.
Interesting TED Talks of those:

A socialism or communism like system could work. If not today, perhaps in the future when artificial intelligence and machines do most of our work. Scienties believe a superintelligent AI could be about 2 to five decades away, with a 50% likelihood or something like that I read in some book.

If it is not a socialism like society by than, very few people (or even robots) will own almost everything. Even today the eight richest people own more than the poorest half.

If I could vote between the two, I would rather vote Trump. Even before being president Hillary seems to be a total war hawk. With her as president the foreign policy of the US will be surely more aggressive than it is currently under Obama.

sources which backup my claim that she seems to be a hawk:

Of the likely US presidency candidates I don't really think Trump would be the worst choice as US president. Trump is often portrayed as quite radical but another republican candidate Rubio could be much worse in this regard.
I have the impression that Trump is more independent from the US war machinery, Goldmann Sachs and certain other lobbyist groups than Hillary. That might be the reason why much media and most of the other republican establishment doesn't like him.

I started a new character with much agility. At level 10 Light Armor and 91 agility I can easily train armor. Currently I can train with creatures like Frost Arangmas and Jade Clacker and loose only very little health in Defensive stance with a shield.

Seeing your stats I suspect the new armor training might be harder for players with little agility.

PlaneShift News and Rules / Re: PlaneShift 0.6.3 released!

Laanx was migrated to another server about 2 years ago.

in the file PlaneShift/data/servers.xml there should be a line:
Code: [Select]
ip="planeshift.teamix.org" port="7777" />
after you changed servers.xml you should be able to update the client in Planeshift Launcher (pslaunch) I think.

here is a cartoon about how our press understands freedom of speech:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Screen-Shot-2015-01-18-at-9.46.05-PM.png

The cartoonist worked for Charlie Hebdo and was fired for this cartoon in 2009. Obviously not every religion is treated the same in our press.

The Hydlaa Plaza / Re: Warning about oxygen
« on: January 17, 2015, 03:58:21 pm »
Oxygen is actually toxic to cancer cells as well. Several alternative cancer treatments try to increase the oxygen level of the body e.g. with alkaline food diet.

That was found out by nobel price winner Dr. Otto Warburg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Heinrich_Warburg).
His assumptions were largely ignored by the Rockefeller-funded medical establishment.
A description of his thesis can be found here: Dr. Otto Heinrich Warburg, 1931 Nobel Prize Winner - The Root Cause of Cancer

A recent study about this backs his thesis and pretends it is actually a new finding: Low oxygen levels could drive cancer growth, research suggests

Gonger, the USA has fought Islamist since the start of our nation. [...] But there has never been another nation that has done more to help others in the history of the world.

[...]

In the last few decades your nation did more harm than any good. Look to Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan. The situation in these countries did only get worse after the US intervened there. The US didn't intervene in these countries for humanitarian purposes.

In Syria the US actually supports Islamic rebel groups, so that they might overthrow the current leader of Syria one day. Even with the ongoing support of terror groups for several years, Assad has had enough support from his people to stay in power.

I'm afraid US is aiming for world dominance for a new world order. That's the greatest threat to the world. Now they try to destroy the sovereignty of Russia, next will be China.

I am skeptical about his demands too. I find it a bit hard to believe that there is a several years wait time for such a surgery in Canada, especially if it is as vital for his life as he claims.

in the path where you run this script, is there a file "planeshift_sketch_xml.rb" or is this supposed to be installed as a gem?

to run a ruby script, you can write something like that...
Code: [Select]
ruby path_to/my_script.rbthe path to the script may be a relative path or even just a filename, if the file is at the current path of your terminal.

under Windows it might complain that it doesn't find the command 'ruby', then you will have to enter the full path to the ruby executable. With ruby I have only experience on Linux systems.

Development Deliberation / Re: CrystalSpace build problem: xwindow
« on: June 01, 2014, 03:34:13 pm »
I can compile crystalspace under a debian jessie based system.

I noticed that if I use revision 38934, I cannot start the walktest due to plugin issues, with the newest revision 40212 the walktest works.

my system:
gcc version 4.8.2 (Debian 4.8.2-1tanglu1), 3.12-1-amd64, Cal3d 0.11.0-4.1 (used a *.deb package from the Nvidia site), bullet 2.80 rev. 2531

to compile CS, I used the following:
Code: [Select]
./configure --without-java --without-perl --without-python --without-3ds --with-cal3d
jam -j2 libs plugins cs-config walktest viewmesh

with "jam -aq ..." like described in the compiling guide, it fails.

Development Deliberation / Re: CrystalSpace and Bullet
« on: May 07, 2014, 05:41:41 pm »
I compiled Crystalspace two or three month ago, I used bullet-2.80-rev2531.

Edit: I'm not really sure if I used that version when compiling Crystalspace, I have downloaded this version, but I can't see it in /usr/lib that it is installed; according to their website (http://www.crystalspace3d.org/docs/online/manual-2.0/External-Libraries.html#0) bullet version 2.76 is recommended)
