    For home use, sure! But there are those of us who travel frequently and would like to knock out an hour or two gaming after work or in-flight. I would rather not fly with a pelican case for my desktop and monitor.

  7. Re:1080p is not very good these days on HP's Omen 15 is the First Gaming Laptop With a 240Hz Display (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    The Dell XPS series also has UHD screens, although they're not marketed as "gaming" laptops. I still do casual gaming on my XPS 13 with surprisingly good graphics settings.

  9. Re:No, they are not on The EU is Banning Almost All Coal Mining on Jan 1 (futurism.com) · · Score: 1

    I truly fear for the next generations that really didn't live under the Stasi (and/or those who really want to) and consider it a thoughtful exercise in the confluence of the first, third, and fourth amendments and the second. The Coast will bend willingly. The agricultural and river states...not so much.

    Yep. They were the same crowd saying "we can't drill our way to lower gas prices" a few years ago and they're using the same argument now: "if it won't give me immediate and instant gratification, it's not worth doing."
