Steve Jobs predicted Obama would be a one-term president
By Rachel Rose Hartman | The Ticket – 1 hr 43 mins ago

"You're headed for a one-term presidency," Jobs said during a meeting
with the president that took place a year prior to Jobs' death related
to pancreatic cancer, according to his upcoming biography as reported
by the Huffington Post.

There might not be another president and the president we have now could
become our dictator. All he needs to do is pull off another false flag
and
this time impose marshal law.

He just has to keep enforcing Bush policies and pardoning him.


Great buds like that should hang together!!!

Amazing that this group of illegal public servants, from the president
on down, can hold their grip on the freedom, money, property, speech,
etc. of the American citizens ... slow torture onto death becomes a more
fitting punishment each and every day ... too bad the Constitution won't
allow it ...

What was truly amazing, is EVERYTHING which was needed to construct the
original MAC was already laying about on the shelves, just waiting to be
picked up and assembled into a working unit.

Jobs and Wozniak were able to see that and assemble it ... however, the
really important question is, why were all these parts just lying about?
Why had the components been created without the realization of what
their real purpose(s) was/were/are?

For most people, it went over their heads, and still does, for that
matter ... still, Jobs and Wozniak were pretty smart guys to solve a
mystery which had escaped the rest of the world ...

JS


Old adage:

"The secret to success in business is: `Find a need, then fill it'."


I was more like jobs and wozniak walking up, seeing fenders, a motor, a
windshield, tires, a drive line, rear end, bumpers, etc. lying about and
constructing a complete car ... the real mystery being why had the parts
been created before the "need" for the car?

Some do use PCs, John.

But there is more to overall productivity that simply reading numbers
from a benchmark.

Or, simply, give a child a toolbox, and give a journeyman carpenter a

What I seen was bill gates become very obstinate and think that that
there was no need for video as powerful as the computers ... MAC video
graphic artists where forced into being ... now that windows went
ahead
and provided the supporting software/driver support, there is no finer
video than you will find on PC's ... and the leading reason all no.
one
games usually only run on the PC, and windows ... to transcode them
for
another architecture/video support cuts too many capabilities from the
game.

Windows didn't "go ahead" and do that, John. The companies that build
the graphics cards provide the drivers.

As for your "too many capabilities from the game" claim...

...let's see a concrete example.


Actually, it is windows that supports the hardware, if they don't,

No, you are completely incorrect. Windows supports the driver
architecture that the hardware manufacturer must write their driver's to
comply with.

anyone can write as many drivers as they wish ... the OS would simply

And anyone can. They may not want to, but they can.

not be able to utilize it ... yet another post which blatantly outlines
your refusal to cure your ignorance ... but your complete willingness to
comment on things you know little, or even nothing, about.

The irony in this statement is off the charts...


Gates saw a world where a simple video chip on a motherboard would be
sufficient ... his vision changed.

Again, Microsoft doesn't write the drivers: the hardware manufacturers
do.


Again, you prove yourself a fool, the high level drivers make the video
calls to the devices ... the hardware manufactures simply have to
translate those into assembly ... the same calls are made, but the
firmware of the manufacturer translates those to fit its' hardware ...
ATI will be much different the NVIDIA ... but windows makes the same
calls from its high level driver(s) ... and, windows must provide what
the game developers need, the instructions and calls, or it doesn't even
get off the ground. Just because a video card slot exists on a
motherboard DOES NOT mean windows has to support it ...

It is the windows kernal which runs the games ... but hey, glad to be
able to help you dispel your ignorance! :-)

I'm sorry, but when you really don't know what you're talking about, you
should just shut up.

Create a video card, write drivers for it according to Windows published
requirements and it will work...

...Microsoft doesn't have anything to do with it other than certifying
the drivers after they've been written.


What a dumb asshole ... you'd better make yourself familiar with the
windows device driver tools and their specs, moron ...


I am familiar with the process as you obviously are not, since you said
that Microsoft writes the drivers for other companies' hardware when
they most certainly do not.


They most certainly do, or more accurately have ... now the hardware
simply needs to have those translated ... new hardware can be
constructed which can do a whole LOT of things that WHQL drivers, are
not aware of and can't use ... not until the windows drivers and
constructed, by microsoft, will those ever be used ...

WHQL is the specification, is the test, is the standard for windows
drivers ... it is the sole creation and property of microsoft.

Like I say, you attempt to use semantics to prove black is really white ...

No, John. Black is black and white is white.

Microsoft writes the specs to which the driver's must be written...

....but the hardware manufacturers/vendors write them.
