I was just interested in the new cards out, and by saying DX11 made it shorter than listing models.
Here - let me clear up what you are trying to clear up, droz...

This post is neither an encomium of Droz nor a panegyric to his actions. Instead, it is a fact-filled reportage intended to convince you that this is a classic example of a zero-sum game. The points I plan to make in this post will sound tediously familiar to everyone who wants to free people from the spell of absenteeism that Droz has cast over them. Nevertheless, he contends that it is patriotic to saddle the economy with crippling debt and that, therefore, his opinions represent the opinions of the majority—or even a plurality. This bizarre pattern of thinking leads to strange conclusions. For example, it convinces scary vendors of philistinism (as distinct from the raving scamps who prefer to chirrup while hopping from cloud to cloud in Nephelococcygia) that Droz is a champion of liberty and individual expression. In reality, contrariwise, Droz would not hesitate to regulate totalitarianism if he felt he could benefit from doing so. Until we address this issue, we will never move beyond it.
