    you dear sir,

      just won a internetz!

    Thank you for making my day.

    Just use "HIMEM" to but some stuff in the 384k upper area :P

  4. Re: Only 30 Grand? on Chevrolet Unveils 200-Mile Bolt EV At Detroit Auto Show · · Score: 1

    And that does not include the fact that your maintenance is outrageous compared to electric.

    What? I agree with most of what you said, but this is crap. Diesels are extremely cheap to maintain and last an extremely long time. Getting 200-300k miles on a diesel engine with no maintenance is common. You'd replace a electrics batteries several times at a huge cost in that frame...

    Well done! I figured you for a old 80 unix guy that hadn't even heard of Oculus Rift!

    For 200 can say why someone wouldn't be wearing one in line to buy something?

    because like most geeks, you're sitting there in line with your phone out anyway. Now you stop angry birds. tap the GW (or Apple app) wave your phone at the reader and you're done...

  9. Re:Maybe one day, but not by 2025 on One In Three Jobs Will Be Taken By Software Or Robots By 2025, Says Gartner · · Score: 1

    Yeah, They'll start dribbling out in 5-8 years. The first serious roll-out will start around 10 years with 1/3 jobs replaced coming 20-30 years out. Its just a matter of sheer amount of robots that need to be built.

    Anyone who doesn't think its going to happen is seriously deluding themselves. Pretty the only that can stop it is a global meltdown of modern civilization or earth destroying event (man made or otherwise).

  12. Re:Enough World of Warcraft already on World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Launches Nov. 13th · · Score: 1

    yup, most of that crap started because of PVP... It is extremely difficult to make things different but equal.

    vanilla was good

    BC was awesome (probably the pinnacle) ( I remember spending a month and half learning how to properly gear and play my druid for tanking)

    WotLK was still decent but the downward spiral had started, ALL classes using same gear,stats,cooldown dependent rotations, etc really started to show.

    What the heck was next? I can't remember but it just generic, all thinking ceased. gear no longer mattered there was no thought needed, just can you watch which skill on cooldown you should hit next...

    pfft doesn't matter

  13. Re:Enough World of Warcraft already on World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Launches Nov. 13th · · Score: 1

    So if possible they made the game MORE nintendo like, removing any possibility of thought needed in gearing your character...

    That answers my question about whether I'd ever want to go back :)

  14. Re:Enough World of Warcraft already on World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Launches Nov. 13th · · Score: 3, Informative

    Did they change the basic game play?

    I was a big fan of the 2-3 expansions. But the game became WAY too nitendo based for me. Literally all the classes had the same gameplay, nothing but watching multiple "cooldowns"

    Exactly !

    What's worse is I think they've started dicking around with "most recent" also :(

    ALL I want is POSTS to appear in chronological order and ALL of them to appear. If I haven't unfriended them or muted them...

    THEN I WANT TO SEE THEIR POSTS....

    FB can't even do that right...
