There's also the problem of compatibility with the 3ds. There are card chips that will fix the incompatibility problem, but it causes a lot of heat from the processing. It does heat up, energy is constant within a solid state drive.
Look, it just is not possible currently.
Maybe in a year or two, just not today.

Not sure if you're serious.
Sure, you can't do it on a 3DS, I wasn't suggesting that. But there's absolutely no issue with creating a portable gaming device capable of using 32GB+ of storage. I mean, look at any smartphone today. The CPU/GPU/RAM are most of the heat, and the rest is just inefficiencies in various chips - and also insignificant.

This is possible today, there just isn't a dedicated portable gaming device that's compatible with a large memcard like that. Oh wait, the PS Vita is.

To be clear, I mean no offense - but it's already been done.

Actually that can cause a large amount of heat to build up very quickly, as they have yet to probably sink the heat.

Not even close to being true, microSD cards (or at least mine) run quite cool.
As a matter of fact, I have no solid-state storage which heats up at all, and much of it is quite fast.

... you have no clue what the fuck you're even talking about.

You personally own a server worth $100k? You're retarded, if you have that much money you clearly have a job where they have servers like that available, just use one of them. You're so smart, they probably wouldn't even know. Not to mention that you can't even run a computer like that without running yourself new electrical lines, it's going to draw a whole lot more than 100A (assuming you're in the US, that's the maximum power draw in a standard household).

Again, I am referring to the definition of anarchism as defined by the creators of the philosophy of anarchism. The creator(s) of any given philosophy have a monopoly on the definition of that philosophy, and are therefore more reliable sources for the definition than Merriam-Webster could ever possibly be. If I say, "I have created the new philosophy of X-ism, which is defined as X," then X-sim is defined as X. Period. End of story. It doesn't matter what any dictionary says about my philosophy, because I have a monopoly on the definition of any philosophy that I create.
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, who is considered generally to be the ideological father of the anarchist movement, describes "anarchy" as, "the absence of a master, of a sovereign." And it is upon this definition of the word that anarchism is founded.

Again, USSR China, etc. were not attempts at libertarian communism or socialism, which is what I have been describing this whole time.

To answer your question, I would use the word "disorder" or "chaos" to describe a society with a complete lack of order and organization.

(Your unwillingness to accept my definitions of the words I was using is entirely understandable, I should clarify. It is good to be skeptical about things such as this. But, as I said in my comment below, this is why I linked you to another source.)
User avatar #190 - KimonoDragon (01/10/2013) [-]
You can't possibly be serious. Expressing favor for a certain opinion makes any argument in favor of that opinion invalid because it is biased? Well then how in the fuck is anyone supposed to argue in favor of any opinion about anything, at all, ever?
By your logic, I should consider all of your comments thus far to be entirely invalid, simply because they are explicitly opposed to anarchism, and are therefore "propaganda."

Eliminating bias is something that you're supposed to do when attempting to obtain or present only the objective facts of a situation, in which case you're not supposed to argue for one side over another.; but that is not what I'm trying to do, nor is it what the creators of the website I linked to are trying to do. I am trying to argue specifically in favor of my side of the issue, in which case my arguments are supposed to be biased, because I am trying to advocate an opinion. That's kind of the whole fucking point of any argument.

The reason I linked you to another source is because you are willing to accept neither the legitimacy of my usage of certain terms such as "libertarian" and "communist," nor my explanations of how the terms have been defined by the philosophers that invented them, whereas infoshop's FAQ cites all of those philosophers to prove that such usages are legitimate usages of the words.

Whether or not communism (which usually coincides with the philosophy of anarchism, as opposed to being inconsistent with it, as you claim--something you should know from reading the introduction to the FAQ) can work on a larger scale than it has historically is not known, and cannot be known, as it has not been tried on such a scale before. I don't see any reason that it couldn't, though.
#192 - gjsmothefirst (01/10/2013) [-]
USSR, China, etc... this were the attempts. Look at the results.

And when looking for something such as a definition (and I am really trying to prove that your definition is wrong), yes, bias must be eliminated.

Your site is perfectly valid if we were arguing about how communism (or in your words, anarchism) worked. It's not, however, a valid source to define the meaning of anything, due to said bias.

I am serious, I don't believe you're correct, nor will your sources sway me (as apparently mine cannot sway you). Just because you apply a pre-existing word to an event, object or thing doesn't make it the right word.

Put another way, if anarchism is what I would call communism, what do you call the complete lack of government which I would call anarchism?

Ever tried to hook two computers together with USB? Doesn't fucking work.

Sure, I use flash drives and external drives all the time, but you can't transfer files through USB, as you implied by comparing it to Cat5E (which you really should be calling Ethernet, or by the more appropriate 100BASE-T or 1000BASE-T).

Yeah, no fucking shit it's a pro-anarchist site. Where the fuck else would you expect arguments in favor of anarchism to come from? Anti-anarchist websites?
Don't give me that "propaganda" bullshit just because it argues in favor of a philosophy you disagree with. I chose the website because I find it presents the most well-cited and well-argued case for anarchism that I have ever come across.

You are correct about the dictionary definition of anarchy, but that is not what I am referring to. I am talking about anarchism, a political ideology which has its roots in the writings of a long line of philosophers from the nineteenth century onward, most notably Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin, Emma Goldman, and Alexander Berkman, among numerous others.

Falsely equating anarchism, the political philosophy, with "anarchy" in the vernacular sense of the word, does not function as a valid criticism of anarchism, because the two are not the same thing. The first anarchists did not intend to imply the state of chaos and disorder that the word "anarchy" has come to generally signify. We could have an argument about whether or not "anarchism" is really an appropriate name for the philosophy, or if what the philosophy promotes should really be called a system of government, but that would be completely meaningless. The philosophy is called anarchism by its proponents, regardless of what you and I think of the appropriateness of that terminology. Personally, I prefer to just call it "libertarian socialism" whenever possible, just to avoid all of the ridiculous connotations that the words "anarchy" and "anarchism" carry with them.

Maybe you should call it that, since anarchy and/or anarchism (please don't argue over synonyms, you look like an idiot) are not communism, which is what you've been describing this entire time. Incidentally, communism is a great idea (again, in theory only) and when it does work (you gave three examples), it's great - but it only works on small scales, for short periods of time.

If you knew how to analyze sources, you would know that it's your site would NEVER be considered valid in itself, no matter how well-cited or well-argued it is - it is pro-anarchist, and therefore has inherent bias regardless of how well it is presented. A dictionary definition is as close as possible to a completely unbiased definition.

You have a fine case for your argument, if and only if you call it what it is (communism) and realize that it hasn't worked on any meaningful scale in the real world.

(Your unwillingness to accept my definitions of the words I was using is entirely understandable, I should clarify. It is good to be skeptical about things such as this. But, as I said in my comment below, this is why I linked you to another source.)
User avatar #190 - KimonoDragon (01/10/2013) [-]
You can't possibly be serious. Expressing favor for a certain opinion makes any argument in favor of that opinion invalid because it is biased? Well then how in the fuck is anyone supposed to argue in favor of any opinion about anything, at all, ever?
By your logic, I should consider all of your comments thus far to be entirely invalid, simply because they are explicitly opposed to anarchism, and are therefore "propaganda."

Eliminating bias is something that you're supposed to do when attempting to obtain or present only the objective facts of a situation, in which case you're not supposed to argue for one side over another.; but that is not what I'm trying to do, nor is it what the creators of the website I linked to are trying to do. I am trying to argue specifically in favor of my side of the issue, in which case my arguments are supposed to be biased, because I am trying to advocate an opinion. That's kind of the whole fucking point of any argument.

The reason I linked you to another source is because you are willing to accept neither the legitimacy of my usage of certain terms such as "libertarian" and "communist," nor my explanations of how the terms have been defined by the philosophers that invented them, whereas infoshop's FAQ cites all of those philosophers to prove that such usages are legitimate usages of the words.

Whether or not communism (which usually coincides with the philosophy of anarchism, as opposed to being inconsistent with it, as you claim--something you should know from reading the introduction to the FAQ) can work on a larger scale than it has historically is not known, and cannot be known, as it has not been tried on such a scale before. I don't see any reason that it couldn't, though.

USSR, China, etc... this were the attempts. Look at the results.

And when looking for something such as a definition (and I am really trying to prove that your definition is wrong), yes, bias must be eliminated.

Your site is perfectly valid if we were arguing about how communism (or in your words, anarchism) worked. It's not, however, a valid source to define the meaning of anything, due to said bias.

I am serious, I don't believe you're correct, nor will your sources sway me (as apparently mine cannot sway you). Just because you apply a pre-existing word to an event, object or thing doesn't make it the right word.

Put another way, if anarchism is what I would call communism, what do you call the complete lack of government which I would call anarchism?

Again, I am referring to the definition of anarchism as defined by the creators of the philosophy of anarchism. The creator(s) of any given philosophy have a monopoly on the definition of that philosophy, and are therefore more reliable sources for the definition than Merriam-Webster could ever possibly be. If I say, "I have created the new philosophy of X-ism, which is defined as X," then X-sim is defined as X. Period. End of story. It doesn't matter what any dictionary says about my philosophy, because I have a monopoly on the definition of any philosophy that I create.
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, who is considered generally to be the ideological father of the anarchist movement, describes "anarchy" as, "the absence of a master, of a sovereign." And it is upon this definition of the word that anarchism is founded.

Again, USSR China, etc. were not attempts at libertarian communism or socialism, which is what I have been describing this whole time.

To answer your question, I would use the word "disorder" or "chaos" to describe a society with a complete lack of order and organization.
