    I can't figure this out for the life of me. Something recently changed with my phone/Android OS that is killing my batter life at a much faster rate than normal. I'm on a Note 3 with Sprint, and for the year that I've had the phone, I'd lose about 1% of battery life per hour that it idles with...

    Someone hit my parked car...suggestions?

    There are a LOT of states that do no-fault medical/injury payments from auto insurance. Probably 10+ states go no-fault where injury is concerned. Some states prevent an individual from further suing the other individual, some do not. That whole system is also decent in theory but gets abused...

    Someone hit my parked car...suggestions?

    No, not in those states. They have specific laws that state that nobody owes you any damages, even if they are at fault, if you didn't have your own car insured in the accident. They look at it like your car shouldn't be on the road if its not insured, it's your fault it was even out there to...

    If you have a budget whatsoever, then its just all about being smart with price vs performance. A $2000 computer might get you 20% better gaming performance than a $1000 build, but is that 20% performance worth a 100% price increase. Most people would say no. I'd tend to do the $1000 build...

    Someone hit my parked car...suggestions?

    Depending on what state you live in, you could be totally boned. Some states have insurance laws to where someone else does not have to pay you, even if they are at-fault, if you don't carry insurance on your car.(I think maybe Michigan is like this, and a few other states, but can't remember...

    I really hope that with HBO now offering stand-alone HBO go and the rise of Hulu and Netflix that we are getting closer to a-la-carte cable/satellite TV channels.

    Yeah, completely depends on if it is your TV stating 1080p, or Netflix. You can go crank a Youtube video up to 1080p all day long, but that doesn't mean you are watching it in 1080p, depending on your TV/monitor. It just means the original signal is that, and then your TV converts it into the...

    If you can't piece together parts for cheaper than buying pre-built, you are buying your parts from the wrong place. I'm not going to tell you it's always a huge savings, but it's usually a slight savings + higher quality parts, so that's a plus. And I've had the same experience as mkopec...

    Is there a 3rd party "trainer" around anywhere that lets you edit characters to re-allocate skill points? I've made some dumb decisions and wasted a lot of points on a couple of my characters that it would be nice to have back.

    I'm not sure why women don't possess the "don't give a fuck" gene that us guys have that allows us to deal with inordinate amounts of BS without cracking emotionally, but they don't. And it sucks.

    I also think a lot of it has to do that the average congressman is an old fogey who probably doesn't use the internet to do anything beyond Skyping with his grandkids.

    And a lone 290(or 970) isn't going to run games very well on high/ultra settings at 4K anyways, so I wouldn't even consider 4K performance at the moment unless I was purchasing 2 cards.

    970 wins almost every benchmark at 1440p and below. 290 wins at 4K resolutions(most of the time, but not always). As long as you're sticking with 1440p for the foreseeable life of this video card, go 970.

    280 Is a solid card, it benchmarks right inbetween an Nvidia 760 and 770. Id say jump all over it if you would even remotely want any of those 3 games. it becomes an outstanding deal at that point. I've also heard you can re-sell those game codes for a little cash if you don't want any, and...

    I'm the same way. Fuck pie crust, it's a waste of space. When I was a kid and my mom would bake a pie, she'd make extra filling and put it in some ceramic ramekins and bake the filling by itself for me, so I wouldn't have to deal with any shitty crust. WTG mom.
