True story, of course, but Kegz' post about not cheating was legendary. I'd go find it but I don't feel like wading through the cesspool of P99 RnF.

Well, you can tell that BFL is shipping a good number of units, anyway. Difficulty is up to 19,339,258 as of earlier today. Also, my mining rig blew up. No idea how much of it is still working, but it isn't likely much, so... yeah. Was fun while it lasted.

Shades of the "I didn't cheat" thread on P99 forums.

I added 5 GH/s to my 25. My order page says I owe -250$ now that I paid for it. Ugh. I emailed them and we'll see what they say... worst case, I'll get a refund or a second Jalapeno out of it. They've starting shipping Singles, at least. And they're almost through August shipments of 5s.

If I could paraphrase it? Something like "we got this". Only, not so much, and someone's balls are gonna be held to the fire soon.

And Amazon too, apparently. The PS4 is featured on the amazon.com splash page right now -- the Xbone is not. Amazon.ca's "Best of E3" page has a big picture ad for the PS4 and relegates the Xbone to the side menu. No Xbone picture at all. Sony, you done good.

PS4 preordered. Xbone laughed at and browser page closed.

If your hours are at the discretion of your employer, it's probably not uncommon for you to be let go if you can't meet their expectations. Just because others have discussed availability and are exempt (for whatever reason) doesn't mean that you'll necessarily get the same treatment...

Cool. I hope I'll see my 25GH/s box before it becomes a paperweight. The 5s are headed firmly in that direction already...

I'll try this again, for those that can't read. The new features in Windows 8 -- that is, the UI elements unique to Win8 -- aren't intuitive. What that has to do with keyboard shortcuts or a command prompt, I don't know.

UI elements should be intuitive. Most of the new features in Windows 8 aren't intuitive, even for a power user, so... yeah.

Not quite ready to switch to Litecoin yet, but that's the talk of the forums, yeah. Apparently BFL has only shipped 35 units at this point, which is kinda closer to 0 than it should be.

Titanfall: It's from EA. It'll have always-online DRM. No thank you. Also, I need to keep up with this damn thread. It's too fast for me.

Meh. Crisis Core was a solo hero story for the most part, and it was a good game. I'll reserve judgement until it's out.

Sure you can. You can install games to HD on both X360 and PS3, so there's no reason why you wouldn't be able to download approved mods and install them.

You're talking PC, not console. Yes, it's cheap to build a PC with a bunch of RAM. It's not cheap to build a console with the same amount of RAM. Apples and oranges. As for "why not", unless it's a guarantee that the game won't have any DLC (that might require more RAM), any improvements or...

Oh, I'm not saying that you can't stretch a game to 8GB by modding it. Saying that 8GB of RAM gives devs more wiggle room is a bit insane. No game should require that kind of memory out of the gates, so I can't see why it would have been a huge boon to the Xbone had the PS4 not had the same amount.

EWOD. Empty Wallet of Death.

If any dev creates a game thatrequires8GB of RAM to do "things", I hope the game catches on fire and dies. Not "on fire" as in sells well. I mean, the warehouse catches on fire and destroys any and all copies of said game, purely out of spite.

Well, it's gotta vent somewhere, and it's not like there's room on the sides, so... yeah, unless they've found a way to thwart physics, looks to me like that'll be venting (probably poorly) out the bottom and it'll heat up quickly.

Cool. Hopefully it'll work out. She's been fussy lately so no idea if she'll sleep through most of the trip, but she likes car rides so far, so we'll see. We'll definitely have a couple bottles with us just in case, and there are plenty of rest stops along the way. Can't do the dark hour...

Going on a 2 day trip with our little one (just over 2 months now). 5 hours there and 5 hours back, plus a bunch of visiting with family. I'm not worried about the family time because they'll be understanding no matter what happens, but the travel time has me concerned in that we have to get...

That would be "by 70", not "to 70". Reducing staff from 100 to 30 people is pretty drastic, and sounds (to me, anyway) like someone screwed up hardcore and it requires a full re-envisioning, not just a cleanup.

Yeah, we'd need to see the declaration for the student part, not the teacher part, unless that is also giving you an error. Looks like you're not defining CStudent properly, or (and I'm guessing here, because you didn't include the code) your #ifndef at the top of student.h is actually an #ifdef...

Difficulty is up again today. 12,153,412 now, up from 11,187,257.

The voice acting pretty much made FFX unappealing for me. Some of it was decent (Auron for instance), some of it was horrid (Tidus for the most part). Even FFX-2 had better VO. If not for the story being good, I would have put the game down partway through and never finished it. Even then, I'm...

Yeah, I don't really see 13-2 making any sense whatsoever if you didn't play 13. There are some parts of 13-2's story that require you to know what happened in 13, or the immersion (oh god, there's that word again) isn't there. Kinda makes me wonder how many of 13-2's reviewers actually...

Yeah, I get that. I want to do the right thing here. The problem is that there is no right thing yet, because no firm decisions have been made. Hopefully that's forthcoming.

Think you might be looking for this guy. He probably already drank whatever you ordered, though. Just saying. That's kinda his thing.

The difference is important... there are different rules for income and capital gains. Anyway, I'll probably have my answer by next tax season. It's a long way away.

I must be one of the only people on earth that didn't mind 13. Meh.

Haven't played it, no. Haven't had time. I suppose I can look it up myself, but what changed that would make me want to replay the entire thing?

Sure, I'll buy that. FF12 vs. FF13, though? I personally think that 13 comes out ahead.

Not until it became dollars or was otherwise valuated, no. If you dig up a gold nugget and store it in a box in your house, how would anyone know about it or its purported value? It has to enter the financial ecosystem somehow before it will have any value at all to anyone other than you...

Oh, I'd say FF12 gives it a run for its money.

Er. No. I don't have to prove anything to them, because all they see is a wire transfer from my account to my account. I can keep my money wherever I please. As a matter of fact, unless I'm very much mistaken, I don't even have to tell them about anything in my Mt.Gox account unless it's worth...

See: Blockbuster.

So, this presentation wasn't meant for the average gaming consumer? Excellent marketing, then, as they showed only the parts that sucked about their gaming strategy. Hopefully E3 will be better, but I'm betting it won't be. If it is, I'll gladly eat my words.

I'm an average consumer. I'm basing my current decision, which may still change, on the franchises that have signed up for both. I don't give a shit about TV enhancing functionality. I want a gaming console. The PS4 seems to be in step to deliver, and the X1 does not. What part of this is...

You're ridiculous. These guys just spent an entire reveal telling us what was going to be a big deal with X1. It all sucked. So, it's not premature, at least, to say "I'm not interested in the X1 at this time". The PS4, however, is going to have exclusives that I'm very much interested in, so...
