    Could be right, just saying that it would be ludicrous / device suicide to price it that high.

    Yes, but that is Apple.. always known for bring overpriced compared to the rest of the market.

    4ms is nothing for an IPS monitor. Pretty much as good as it gets. The tradeoffs for TN are far too great for me. Desperately awaiting a >/= 27" IPS 1440p / Gsync, and I really don't care about the price. I just want perfection without all the tradeoffs either way.

    Computer Issues

    Well since it is happening in safe mode, it's far likely it is hardware related. You need to check out your memory, not just your HD. You can either run something like Memtest or the old way of removing all but 1 stick at a time until you find the culprit.

    Not heard that. I thought they went with their own Samsung processors (vs old 3rd party snapdragon) to shave down costs? Considering the S5 only cost $650 on release, there's no god damn way they increased the price by >50% while removing 3 of it's main features. That would be an absolute...

    Laptop Computers

    Just received my new Dell XPS 13. It won CES 2015 and I have to say, it is sleek as shit. Very small form factor, tiny bezel makes the screen look larger than it is and just clean form and function. The one big downside I think is the web cam placement at the lower left of the screen. I look...

    Just reading about the new Samsung S6. I have to say I am disappointed. One of the biggest plusses for me has always been the ability to add your own microSD card for dirt cheap. $30 for 64GB, etc. I am shocked they removed this feature as well as the non-removable battery. After a year or...

    That easy swarm farm is because he's in Commons. The zone is ordinarily a ghost town except for passers by. While it's cool you can swarm, I still think with the XP bonus on this server you are far better off finding a solid full group blasting through mobs in a zone with a high ZEM.

    This was the reason they nuked Project M. Could have just stopped the xp gain for monsters, but it was the inevitable griefers that killed the whole project.

    The pessimist in me would probably choose to do the 30 year and make the extra pyaments to pay it off early vs 15 year and being forced to pay the higher payment. Worst case scenario with a job loss, you have a much lower payment responsibility on the 30 year note vs the risk of foreclosure on a...

    Great opener. Probst did write that he honestly feels this is the best season filmed in quite some time. He is usually pretty straightforward on his opinions, so lets hope the season keeps going strong!

    New Progression Server confirmed

    Population will drop dramatically post Velious, maybe have a resurgence in PoP and then absolute ghost down if they go beyond that. THAT is why they need limited progression. Regarding old zones, I highly doubt they would do it. They would need a separate patch file for the server for the...

    That 50mm 1.8 is dirt cheap, but a hell of a lot of people go one notch up with the Canon 50mm 1.4. This lens is always in my bag: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Autofocus.html

    Yea, I worry about making the same mistake. It's easy to forget I am VPN'd for other reasons and just happen to browse around and forget. I've basically made a habit of simply adding my BTN torrents in the morning before work only.

    As someone who played an Enchanter to 55, be prepared to suck shit in pvp when caught out solo. You have a ton of tools to lock people down (stun / mez / etc) but you have very little in the form of DPS unless you happen to have a charm pet up and running. Yet, even then you are a single dispell...

    Just FYI, I don't pay for a Seedbox, or Dropbox, and VPN will get you banned over at BTN. I get people are used to their newsgroups. I just don't see why it is worth paying for when I can take a few minutes and clicks for the exact same effect. (All my downloads are dumped to my 15TB NAS...

    The only thing I am hesitant with is the brand. Acer? Since when have they been the pinnacle of display tech? I'd feel more confident if it were an NEC or Samsung.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I use the SSL version trackers too over IPT / BTN. Any file on IPT over 8GB in size is "freeleach" and I only ever download BluRay quality movies in 1080p, so that is pretty much every single download. I have entire BR season rips of TV series too and on BTN, it has nothing to do with actual...

    Nice looking monitor Jeydax. A good IPS monitor (or two) is the only thing on my upgrade radar for the forseeable future. It will be nice once it gets properly reviewed in the hands by the masses.

    They were insinuating that Renault drivers are elderly people who are as clueless about quality cars are they are in their driving skill. As someone who lived in the UK for 6 years, I concur. As for the 3 supercars on the test track, I worry that each will give their consent at varying...

    Pretty sure I did through mid / upper 30s in Mistmoore. The zone has a huge modifier, but it can also have a lot of pvp griefers. If you can get that inner castle courtyard group going, you are safe(er) from the PK twinks.

    The group XP bonus is so great that no one gives two shits what class you are. If there are 3 warriors in group, that bonus XP is still > only being a half full group of "balanced" classes.
