    What do you do?

    Except we're not contractors. This is a new long term (3 or more year) service agreement contract for a very large collection of military phone systems. We're a service provider, not a contracting company. We have thousands of customers with 10s of thousands of service agreement contracts, we...

    What do you do?

    Chaos will like this. This is how retarded my company is. I'm trying to fill out government forms to request access to Navy systems (SAAR-N and accompanying forms) but my employer has given me no information about the name and type of system we're accessing, the beginning and end date of the...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    I think they're quitting because Blizzard plans on not doing anything new for a while. There's probably no major projects left in the pipe. They will probably just use this stable of properties as cash cow for as long as they last. A friend of mine left Blizzard for a major EA studio a year...

    Mist Mostly Mightily Blames Other People or MMMBOP for short.

    More like 15 hour shifts. But yeah, I've just learned to accept that working 80 hours a week is normal. Over the labor day weekend I worked 70 hours in just 5 days. My paycheck was fucking retarded huge and I'm just going to do this as long as I can possibly take it.

    GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 announced available May 27th

    The Pascal one you can overclock pretty hardcore, unlike the 1080 which, if you buy one of the better partner boards, is about as topped out as it gets. You can easily bleed 20% more performance out of the Titan X, which is about 24% faster at stock clocks than the 1080. So for 100% more...

    Nothing important. Displayport can autodetect when the display is on or off. If you don't turn both monitors on all the time, I would use displayport for the secondary monitor, that way Windows will automatically turn off the extended desktop when its not powered on. But that's like basically...

    This is all at 1080p though, right? At higher resolutions, the stress is going to be on the GPU, now on how fast the CPU can feed it.

    MTG thread

    FTV foils cup a lot worse than regular foils. Regular foils will remain uncupped as long as they are kept sleeved in a stack with other cards.

    With gsync you will not see tearing until you're under 30 frames. You will not notice sudden, brief framerate dips as much either, because you will not lose those 'in between' frames.

    At 1080p, yes, but at such a high framrate that you won't care. Running at 1440p, not really, the GPU will still be the main bottleneck.

    What do you do?

    What kinds of jobs are there in IT crisis management/disaster recovery? That's the only thing keeping me at this job. It's actually legitimately fun when we get a critical system down for a major managed services customer, and have to spring into action and start mobilizing people and...

    So this is free for Windows. Lets you make your own Halo 5 levels and play 2-16 player Halo 5 matches on Windows 10. The catch is, there's no matchmaking. You have to invite people using Xbone gamer tags for Windows.

    I think the 1060 is a waste of money for what you get. I'd rather have an RX480 if we're looking at that price range. Anyway, I just built one of these for a coworker and they're absolutely fucking in love with it. Could have easily gone with the i5, but I wouldn't change much about the rest...

    The fact of the matter is, this shitty call-center job pays a lot more than either of my previous two jobs in the higher education system. It just requires me to work 60-70 hour weeks to do it. This shitty call-center job also requires a college degree and/or industry certs, even though no...
