Last year I didn't have PeerBlock running (this helps, right?) and I got shut down. The kid that I spoke to from my ISP said that it was for the UPLOADS, not the downloads. Been running PB and limited my upload speed and no issues yet.
I fail to see the difference between a robot killing off a group of people and a religious extremist strapping explosives to his four year old son before he tells him to "go say 'hi' to those nice soldiers over there."
I guess I'm becoming the last of my generation, haha. I haven't owned a television in four years so my PC as become my primary source of entertainment. Its my music station, communication center, gaming rig, DVD player, news hub, shopping center, and encyclopedia. I guess people are stuck in their ways with television riddled with ads and trash TV that don't realize the potential of a desktop PC. =]
Yea, some bits were a stretch. I just see a PC way more versatile than a console. I don't have any lights on my case so its not that bad. I also have a storage compartment in my desk that it sits in. Can't see it or hear it. Works great for me.
But you're right, I cannot build a PC that plays PS4 quality games for $600; yet. I can then though, take my existing setup, toss $400 at it every few years to keep up with the updated games.
Answer these questions, and I'll believe you that a PC can replace a PlayStation family console.
Will your PC play Blu-ray movies?
I actually watched Alien last night in Blue ray quality.
Will it have a nice case that fits in next to the TV, as opposed to the big ugly tower seen next to a desk?
My Antec 900 looks very nice.
Will it have a large library of games that support multiple USB gamepads, as opposed to being focused on online play that requires a separate PC for each player?
I have the option to plug in game controllers. I have a 3TB HDD that I can fill with an assortment of games.
Will installation of games from discs be as easy as insert and go, or will the user have to click through an installation wizard that copies pretty much the entire game to the hard drive?
First time installation may take a bit. After that, double click and go.
Will there be a guarantee that video card drivers won't have a defect that renders them incompatible with the game you bought?
I've yet to have an issue with my 670 FTW not running any game.
And will it cost less than the "five hundred ninety-nine US dollars" that the last PlayStation launched at even with the video card and Windows license?
I can build a PC that will be able to play games of PS2 and PS3 quality for about $600.
Right now, I can play BF3 and Eve simultaneously w/ no problems.
I'm considering the same. Mine in monitor two, BF3 in monitor one. I just don't have the attention span to do both. That and I'm not sure if my 670 can handle it. =P
"will easily be the most powerful single-GPU powered graphics card available when it ships"
Yep, for the first week or two. I'll stick with my 670 that runs BF3 at max settings with 50+ FPS. Graphics card like the Titan is as useless as Anne Frank's drumset for the typical gamer.
I hope the mainstream media gives more attention to this instead of some celebrity bullshit. People might start gaining an interest in this stuff and maybe give this subject matter the attention it deserves.

Its a matter of where it grips it I'd imagine.
It's already been mentioned that Obummer's medal was for "peace". This is for science. There's a difference.

So you are saying that both are deeply distasteful and likely to result in casualties among civilians who are 'innocent' by any stretch of the word?
Pretty much this.

Clever. +1
It seems so much easier to just build a PC. =P
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that our open carry laws contribute more to low level of violence instead of the lead paint. =]
America's Army would be a better comparison than CoD.
There no game out there that can compare to that of real warfare. None.

Hah. I saw that video and thought for sure it was the impact site of the meteor. Never heard of the Door to Hell. Had me fooled.
I wonder how many stared at that thing and were waiting for the giant mushroom cloud to appear. Like Sarah Connor at the playground.
I won't be done my training for my Retriever until the day after it passes!
I'd pay for it to land on Washington
Fixed.
I could buy 20 of my pickup trucks for that much. I must be out of touch with reality.
auto mechanics don't need a 4 year Degree maybe a 2 year trades / tech school.
I run my own 4x4 shop and I have a B.S. in Elementary Education. =P
Let me know when we develop piracy in nulsec.
I was the kid that paid some girl in candy and stickers to cover my book. I didn't have a clue how to do it. XD
I have to wonder how blimps can prevent the collapse of a building that wasn't hit by a plane.
Perhaps you missed it, but clearly that plane hit that building.
