    I doubt if those comments are coming from guys with families or even GFs.

    Not where they're coming from but rather who they're aimed at.

  2. A citation would be useful...

  3. List it as used, and you're fine.

    That's only because Amazon is attempting to redefine the word "new." Previously-purchased retail goods that are "unopened" are "new" whether Amazon and their corporate clients like it or not.

    There is a process to change them if you don't like them...

    Which, more often than not, comes down to a choice between voting for a shit sandwich and a kick in the nuts. You've said more than a few insightful things on here but this was not one of 'em.

    When we reach photorealism at dual 4k, then we can maybe talk about peaking.

    When a single mobile GPU can drive a pair of small 8Ã--8k 120hz stereoscopic displays, then we can maybe talk about peaking. :)

    Then that 3D acceleration came out and buying a good video card became much more difficult.

    There was a sequence of "correct" 3D cards to own which more or less went from Matrox Millenium to 3Dfx to Nvidia but if you bought wrong (Nvidia NV1, anything ATi before r300, S3, Number Nine, Voodoo4/5, etc), you were generally not a happy camper... fortunately for me, I learned my lesson early-on with "Tandy 16-color graphics" (EGA comparable but not compatible.

    No one with any brains thought 3D television would take off. No one with any brains doubts, however, that VR will. Why? Logic.

    Truly they sound like decent enough people but smarter men than you or i have done a more than adequate job demonstrating the evil inherent in a monarchy. In any case, if he's really that enlightened and wants to impress the world with his considerable self-respect, he's free to step down and abdicate. Anything else is meaningless.

    Why?

    And before you answer, look into the case a bit more.

    I've looked into the case with tremendous interest and was surprised to find how many people have, in fact, been charged under this law in recent years... Regardless, feudalism, "nobility" (sic) and aristocracy should've been completely eradicated centuries ago; the fact that their ilk are still extant anywhere on the planet, much mess Western Europe, makes me want to hurl.

    It may be greatly exaggerated but ranting about ignorant fundamentalists, regardless of "flavor of their nuttiness" is hardly racist. And for what it's worth, Christian fundamentalists aren't any better; they're just as gullible re: believing delusional horseshit and just as capable of doing tremendous evil in the name of their "god."

    For a medicocre Hollywood flick, the plot contains some fairly-funny scenes and there are some really good lines; I consider imdb's rating of 5.9 to be a bit unfair... just be careful; there's a "sequel" (UK version of the film) that looks particularly shitty, though I haven't actually seen it.

    I'd call the NSA and ask them for a restore (since they snoop on everything anyway).

    Why bother calling? Just ask 'em out loud right now; they're probably listening somehow... ;)
