    yup,clearly he's an idiot. He bought a HYBRID 1TB drive that likely has a gig of flash or less, the rest is standard mechanical drives, use this for storage not gaming. And you do NOT have to raid and span your disks, that's just fucking stupid.

    Starts off talking about building a gaming PC and how "hard it is". It's not, it's only hard if you are an illiterate idiot. Ends rant by suggesting MACS are better. Ok, this isn't even clever MAC spam.

    Should come around, might as well sue FB over all those violent settlers groups inciting violence and planning attacks. but that would be antisemetic some how.

    And that's why they left facebook, to live in their bubble. AT least you seem to get it, you need to take the time to delve into both sides to get any type of insight. If you are a "liberal" or "progressive" which I can't ignore the fact that you are using as derogatory terms, you need to take in as much from the other side as possible. If you are a conservative or whatever term you want to toss out, you need to listen to what's coming from the liberal side too, because both groups are living in a confirmation bias bubble. Being mostly in the middle I've noticed a trend. Inventing bullshit arguments and creating strawmen.... from both sides. It's funny though because you attempted to trash on AK, but you ignored the fact that you, yourself, posted this: "No doubt that was the goal of progressives all along, or anyway delights them." So who is living in the fantasy bubble? The people using facebook, the people who left, or the dude who thinks this was all a huge "progressive" conspiracy?

  5. While I'd typically agree, a quick google produces some "leaked" 3dmark scores, so yeah, he might be referencing those for the 1060. But I wouldn't reccomend buying old gen at this point, the leaps from dx10-11 are pretty big, theres so much coming down the pipes, and lets not forget Vulkan. Vulcan? whatever. Don't buy old crap but don't be the super early adopter.

    you poor fool, just give up on linux gaming, MAC gaming is actually a head of you, just stop and be real about things. get your work done on linux, code script automate, whatever. But if you are going to play a game outside of candy crush, you're going to be doing it on windows. But hey, I think you can now play games from 10 years ago on Linux. PROGRESS! Seriously though, I do luv my 'nix, but gaming is never going to be worth the trouble on it.

  9. Goldstein is lying on Woman Wins $10,000 Lawsuit Against Microsoft Over Windows 10 Upgrades (seattletimes.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    A woman named Goldstein says her windows 7 computer started upgrading to windows 10 without her consent and says: "I had never heard of Windows 10," Goldstein said. "Nobody ever asked me if I wanted to update." Yup, calling bullshit right there, windows 7 made damn sure you were aware of the pending windows 10 upgrade, so the fact that you are even saying that tells me 100% you clicked install now because you thought you'd get a settlement and you did. Well played Goldstein. Well played.

    I do not think you've encountered cinavia then. Its genius really, you can't stop them from making copies. BUT you can digitally fingerprint the audio, push through a law that requires all devices to support the software, then stop them from playing it. Yes I'm fully aware there are limitations with cinavia and on the whole, it was a failure. But it was a first run attempt, the next one won't be so easy to bypass.

    They've managed to find a way to force you into buying all new audio equipment, or at the very least, an expensive dongle. It's genius, it really is.

  16. Re:Wake me up when 2/3s are Linux on Microsoft: Nearly One In Three Azure Virtual Machines Now Are Running Linux (zdnet.com) · · Score: -1

    I think Linux needs to hit 2/3 of the market share before we can expect that. While I love me some 'nix... I live in the real world, and that world relies on Active Directory, so those windows servers aren't going away anytime soon. It's pretty crazy though, the bulk of the AZURE cloud will be linux guests soon. And to the AC who posted :Embrace. Extend. Extinguish. You do realize what Azure is right? It's a fucking cloud hosting platform, and in no way shows MS embracing, extending or extinguishing anything. MS couldn't care less what OS you run on your guest, the only thing that matters is that guest is in their cloud. Now you could argue that container support is them "embracing" linux, but it's not. It's giving their customers what they need and want. You know what friend? It's not 1994, you can stop hating MS now.

    Lest the internet make fun of you for thinking you invented video streaming. Youtube started as a video hosting site that allowed YOU to upload content. Youtube has an EXTENSIVE and AUTOMATIC system to deal with "stolen content" and, of course, sends any ad revenue to the content owner. so no, Trent doesn't have a valid point, he's a vapid fuckwit who wants to appeal to authority because his idea to rip off youtube and make it a paid service hasn't wiped youtube off the net. Go suck on a tail pipe, it would be more productive for all of us if you did.

    hardened and "hardened" are two different things. I think the one you are referring to is meant to say, this is a combat ready, can take a beating and still work, type of phone. Like those hardened laptops able to survive a nuclear strike or some crap. The hardened we are talking about here is of the software variety, it's a SECURE phone. It's still an s4 body, and will still shatter if you drop it. The SOFTWARE has been hardened. Isn't learning fun?

    Knox has changed, at one point there was a rom flash detection flag you had to fuck with if you flashed, as knox would throw a warning and say your warranty was void. Samsung said, officially, that the warrant would NOT be voided by flashing the rom. I think in later versions, activating knox stops you from being able to root the phone but can't confirm, I stopped trying with my s4 after a few bad flashes including several cyanogen builds.
