Lol. Oh Bob. I see you didn't get that help you are crying out for.

Schiff isn't the one saying it.
It's the over a dozen Trump administration officials, you know, like the people who gave him a million dollars towards his election campaign to then be installed in his cabinet with zero experience, people that he now calls never trumpers...them, and idiot Trump himself who released a heavily redacted call summary, called it a transcript, and inexplicably left in the parts where he insisted on investigations into political rivals (and no one else) in exchange for releasing congressionally approved aid.

If Trump drained the swamp, it was only to turn it into the world's largest and most ecologically disastrous sewage holding pond.

Great job? On what? Destroying our international standing and standards? There he IS simply the best. Sucking up and capitulating to our enemies while abandoning and distancing our allies? Yep, better than all the rest. Lying to the American people? Better than anyone else. Running a criminal administration for his personal enrichment? No one else could pass the test.

If you call his disastrous work a "great job", what will you call his removal? The best job ever? You are so delusional that just last week you claimed Republicans run the house and Democrats run the Senate so you could blame our badly flawed paperless voting system on those evil Senate Democrats. *facepalm

Wasted billions on 70 miles of new wall.....that's really replacement fence that can be cut through in under a minute with a reciprocating saw, and only where barriers existed. Great. Increased illegal immigration exponentially. Great. Tax cuts/government welfare for the rich but not the needy that exploded the deficit and debt. Great. Failed trade agreements that have cost tens-hundreds of billions only to put us in a far worse position than before he started. Great. Zero investment in infrastructure. Great. Total decimation of environmental laws.
Great. Abandoning our best allies against terrorism to cozy up to dictators. Great. Best of all, he's widened the divide in America more than all administrations in the last 150 years combined, and recently began calling for preparation for civil war if he's not re-elected. Great.

Um...if he's removing deep state operatives, why are they all his people being jailed? More than even any two term administration ever, beating Nixon's indictment and conviction rates in under two years, before the Mueller fallout. Indeed, in that time he has had more than twice the convictions of all Democratic administration officials since 1970....again, before most Mueller convictions. (It bears noting that Republican officials are convicted at a rate >91 times that of Democrats).

What you really meant to say.....No matter what Trump says it is guaranteed to be a lie.

Games I have are Blitz, Star Trek, Spike, Clean Sweep, and Scramble (my favorite).
And despite the title of the vid, I don't think the raster-graphics that Vectrex uses are considered pixels.

Actually, rasterization is the term for putting an image to a pixelized format, usually a file or other read-only format to be displayed as it is.
I think what you meant to say was "vector" graphics, as vectors were what the Vectrex was designed around.
Either way, all graphics use pixels in the end, as that is the raw building block of the digital image, so the title of this is something of a misnomer if taken literally. It's a bit like saying "paperless sketch", or something.
Vector processing is basically the precursor for polygonal rendering and the real-time 3D we are used to seeing today. The primary difference to raster images being that it is drawn and manipulated in real-time, as opposed to raster-imagery being a simple, unalterable record of an image in pixels (like a recording).
I fail at the metaphors, but you get what I'm saying.


Whoops. I did indeed mean to say vector, not raster. Raster's actually what I think of when I think of pixels, so I said the opposite of what I meant. Long day. Thanks for your informative reply

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Sure, there will always be a place for PCs - just like we still have high end "mainframe" servers today. Just don't expect to see PCs in the living room for too many more years.

I will gladly eat my words, if I'm mistaken. But I really, reeeally doubt it will be a mac/PC killer. It will be an alternative product - maybe laptop killer, but it cannot replace what desktop machines do (games, development, typing). It's basically the beginning of the paperless newspaper, I think. But I think the fact that it is bigger than your pocket will be a factor.

^ OK - I'll hold you to your prediction and we'll revisit in a couple of years. Here's my iPad prediction:
It's going to be huge. Much bigger in impact than the iPod or iPhone. Maybe not in total units sold, but in shaping a whole new class of device. Expect Nooks and Kindles to follow suit with devices that add movies and TV. Microsoft will also get in on the action- too late as usual, as they'll continue to push using a "windows" type environment- which doesn't translate well - but eventually they will be pulled by gravity to a windowless type UI tablet device.
The iPad- or a very similar device - will be the Mac/PC killer. We've had the the same paradigm (mouse, windows, drag, point, click) for over 20 years. It's time to move on.

Anything successful gets copied by everyone else. Businesses travel in packs. Apple have been good blazing the trail for markets like ipods and iphone, but like all first movers there are plenty of problems with the trailblazing products, which clones can fix in their version.
It's IBM 100% compatible PC all over again. I'm pretty happy that IBM made the model that made the PCs what they are today, but the clone companies have a big hand in shaping the market too.
As long as Apple can keep innovating, more power to them.
(I still think the ipad is a weaker product than the iphone, but we'll see.)

Basically this is a new way to make people even more anal about getting their handouts back.

That's why Bushie won't use the emails. They can be recorded. Yep, totally paperless, computerless office. That's My Bush!
