I was disappointed that the baddie dino on the rampage used its camouflage all of 1 time. Strangely enough, in The Lost World (JP pt2) book, this was the defining ability of the most lethal dinosaur. Sadly the film went in the direction of stupid instead of following the book. Carnotaurus -...

Non-instanced open world named raid mob. Think of Gorenaire, Severilous, or Talendor from EQ days.

You beat me with the mcconaughey shoops! New Horizons launched with the fastest escape velocity, but only had 1 gravity assist by Jupiter. Voyager got a few gravity assists, hence its far greater speed. Another fun read: Voyager

Voyager 1 = currently 131.89 AU from the Sun New Horizons = currently 32.84 AU from the Sun

Another fun fact I am trying to figure out.. Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 and travels at ~38,000 MPH. New Horizons launched in 2006 and only travels 9,000 MPH. How has it already covered 1/4 of Voyager's distance (based on communications time napkin maths) in relatively short time?

You mean 4x?

And to put it further into perspective, Voyager 1 takes about 36 hours for one-way communication! *edit* My bad, that is for 2-way. Just over 18 hours for one-way.

Pointless storing media on an SSD anyway. Your bitrate while reading from the disk for playback is a tiny fraction of platter drives, let alone SSD. I have a 512GB Samsung 850 Pro for OS, programs, & games. Then a 4TB HD for all my active torrents and local media storage. For the long term media...

This.

All good points already made. Drop the Sandisk SSD for a Samsung 850 Evo.

Palum, for everything you listed I love my Land Rover LR4 (Discovery 4). The only issue is the price creep on them has been kinda nuts. 2013 was the last year they used the 5.0L V8, so their used prices have basically stuck. My truck is nearly 2 years old, but has only lost about 5-8k off of...

I actually thought Frenzic was trolling. Then the dude goes full retard.

Internet here in the middle east. (No caps)

I'd be all over that. Single account TLP it up to PoP, then halt forever.

To be fair, that was what Intel were doing up until that point. This is also the supposed reasoning Everquest 2 ran like shit. They were trying to build an engine with longevity and up to then, it was ever increasing clock cycles. Intel decided to go with parallel processing and multi cores...

2006 was the year Intel released the Core 2 Duo, which is where they left AMD in the dust. Nothing has been close since. But yea, Noodle's point stands. 10 years since producing anything to rival Intel's chips. It's a shame though. With all monopolies, we as consumers suffer for it with...

Just thinking about the wording of "1 per machine". There are easy work arounds for this, if it is simply a client side software implementation. The only real way to enforce this is 1 per IP. Of course, then they run into the issues with multi-player households. It will be interesting to see how...

See my edit.

Here's the full document. The bar on the right imply correct usage? *Edit* The disclaimer could be implied that "typical" usage takes into account a sampling of the human error fuck ups. http://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealt...ethods_508.pdf

Plus you have people that might have taken a 6-12 month sub on X number of accounts. They better be ready to offer refunds. (I don't see them accepting a monetary loss)

They have their niche, but yea I think the FX60 was the last AMD chip that had better gaming performance than an Intel chip. That was what.. 10 years ago?

Holy shit. lol

True. Still should do the RAM testing. No reason why the CPU should have an odd clockrate after that.

Latest Ceres shot. APOD: 2015 June 30 - An Unusual Mountain on Asteroid Ceres

I always OC through bios and don't like in-OS software because when testing or things get unstable, it tends to really fuck things up. Is there not a way to go into BIOS and hard reset to defaults? Also, you need functional CPU and RAM to boot and dig around in BIOS. CPUs are fairly bulletproof...

New Chipshet info I shooped together from Wiki. Old Z87 (Haswell launch) and Z97: New Sunrise Point for Skylake (Z170):

I was really talking about the behemoths like Dell / Alienware and the like. It's been ages since I screwed around on the Cyberpower website, but I always looked at them as a middle of the road company that is basically taking parts and putting it together for you. An assembler service, if you...

Skylake is the next big generation. Haswell was from 2013 and Broadwell was just a die shrink of the same. Skylake gets you the next 2 years worth of tech. Plus there are some big leaps coming in the Sunrise Point chipset. (Tons more native USB3 ports, 20 PCIe 3.0 lanes, DDR4 support...

I do fully admit there is a point of diminishing returns and some manufacturers go way overboard in cost for aesthetic purposes. However, there are brands out there that throw a boat load of cash into R&D. "Exotic and untested crappy parts"? I find it extremely hard to believe DIY crowds are...

From your wording, it sounds like you purchased already? I would wait if at all possible. The next gen Intel CPUs (Skylake) paired with the next gen motherboard chipsets (100 Series / Sunrise Point) are due in September. That's right around the corner.

On paper, the two machines might look similar, but self-built you can get far superior brand name components. Instead of unknown oem generic RAM at 1600MHZ, I can put in quality branded (and faster / lower latency) modules. Power supplies are notoriously generic and questionable from pre-builts...

ISPs stiffling innovation and progress. Caps make streaming unusable now, yet we are trying to push 4K tech? Caps need to drop or be raised by an order of magnitude!

Such a nice HT room, why not get some quality speakers instead of a DIY mishmash? My HT setup: TV =Samsung 9000 Series Smart TV AV Receiver =9.2 A/V Receiver, Surround Sound | AVR-4311CI | Denon Fronts =Paradigm | Signature S8 | Overview Center =Paradigm | Signature C5 | Overview...

My last ex said the pill drove her batshit as well. She ended up going on Depo-Provera because it is a hell of a lot easier to manage and just as effective. (injection every 3 months) Not only are they horrible for the feels, but they are also one of the least effective methods of BC! Something...

Still way overspent. You can buy an Intel NUC for about half of that price. I use one as a Home Theater Kodi box and it is amazing. If he is truly only using it for internet and music it would still be a huge overkill. Amazon.com : Intel Next Unit of Computing Kit with Dual HDMI, Gigabit LAN...

God damn, that is bad! Just to make you feel worse, I am in the middle east in the land of the sand shitlords and I pay for 100Mb fiber but in reality end up with ~110Mb. (3rd world problems??)

Fuck you Mist! Clippy was cool. lol

That is interesting and something I never considered. Can you actually get PMI removed if a newer house appraisal tips you over 78%? What about the opposite if the market turns? I just assumed PMI was locked at the purchase appraisal price. (Again, me assuming)

Grimm, you are absolutely right. That good bye at the end was just cold and emotionless. The dissonance was palpable just watching it.

I agree. I don't care if the ideas aren't his, Cameron is an innovator and pioneer in the special effects world. You see the progression with that water tentacle thing in The Abyss, which was the first CGI water AND first computer generated three dimentional character put in film. That was the...
