These cards may or may not damage your motherboard, but there is zero doubt that in the default configuration -- not some out of spec hacked BIOS configuration -- they are not compliant with the PCIe standards.
Putting that PCIe logo on the box is therefore deceptive marketing and AMD should be held accountable here.
Typical of all ISPs, you will never get a "thank you" from them as a stable long standing customer. They strictly want "new customers" or "new service".
They sort of expect you to leave.. after a short period of time.
If you're running as a party outsider, run as a independent or new party.
It's like saying you want to Apple's new CEO, but only if you make the whole company run Windows. My guess is that you won't get very far. It would be a stretch to say "rigged".
And there simply is no competition anymore. Tick-tock was designed to hammer, hammer and keep on hammering against AMD until they were dead, deAD, DEAD! (for those that don't know AMD used to compete against Intel)
I buy the blu-ray of a movie I like, then download it off a pirate website.
Which is a violation...even if it sounds like a legit thing to do.
I don't even own a blu-ray player. It's just that I have a home media server and would prefer to have movies in a format I can stream throughout my house. But Hollywood insists on only letting you stream movies over the Internet. No simple way to have a local copy which plays on all my devices.
Current decoding DVD or Blu-ray is a Federal crime in the USA.
At first I borrowed a friend's BD drive and tried ripping the blu-rays and re-encoding the movies to a smaller size (raw rip of the LotR trilogy was nearly 200 GB). After struggling with merging the two-disc parts into one movie file and keeping subtitles synchronized, I threw in the towel and just downloaded it from a pirate site. Someone much better at video encoding than I had already licked those problems, plus his encode was smaller yet higher quality than mine.
Either way it was a violation.
So I ditched my plans to buy my own BD drive for ripping, and now I just pirate the movies after buying the blu-ray. Though I'm not sure you can really call it pirating, since I own the blu-ray which by Hollywood's insistence that I'm buying a license not a copy means I'm licensed to own and view the content.
Not quite. With a Blu-ray the idea is that it is played in a licensed Blu-ray device because in truth, they still want control of your playback rights and even the ability to revoke it at will.
What does Hollywood think will happen to folks who used Slysoft's software to rip their own discs now? If the lack of updates means the software won't be able to rip future blu-ray releases, those folks are going to start doing what I'm doing - buying the blu-ray and downloading the movie from a pirate site. Only some of them won't be as honest as me and will quickly realize they don't really need to buy the blu-ray in the first place.
Not everybody is willing to break the law at any cost to get their own way though. I'm not saying your scenario won't happen though.
BTW, this inverts the backup argument. The blu-ray disc becomes my backup copy, safely stored in its case. Heck, I haven't even removed the shrinkwrap off of most of them. Though I prefer to think of them as a physical certificate of the license to the movie, and my backup would be downloading the movie off the net again.
Your actual Blu-rays are legal of course, you're just not exercising your right to view them on an authorized playback device. Since you're targeting non-authorized playback, either ripped or downloaded from the net... those copies, even of media for which you have physical discs, is in violation.
Country needs a big fix. Sure make copying and distributing Blu-rays and DVDs illegal... I get it. But we (those with backup servers or media servers) should not have to commit a Federal Crime to watch what we own. It's insane.
Here's the surprise.... Olympics not being held in Brazil. Being moved to North Korea. IOC was told the whole country is like one big Disney World! Should be great!!

I expect Microsoft will continue to support Skype on Linux until they terminate the product or.... for a month... whichever comes first.
Let's say Tim's name were 'Jack' instead. There might be some satisfaction in removing the "Head" of Apple, named "Jack".
So what would happen if they held the olympics, and the Russians couldn't show up?

Unfortunately you can't see the letters from Earth. You need a light source. Fortunately the Juno has an early prototype of the G700 super light.

Unless Bill Clinton says it's ok.
We would list the apps affected, but then we couldn't get into your phone anymore.

To whoever it may concern:
We hunted down and killed your children. We did it slowly and painfully unless you paid our rasom of course.
Reflecting on this a bit, we decided that maybe it wan't that nice of us to do that. So we're making it all up to everyone with a big "I'm sorry."
Glad we got everythiing straightened out. And again, sorry about your kids (can't you see how sorry we are?).
This was a painful note for us to write. However, we are pretty sure we'll never attempt to do something like this again.

I'm thinking Facebook Poster Boy?
To drive this home a bit...
Trump is outlandish.
Trump speaks often without thinking through what is said.
Trump says things that aren't true.
Trump puts people on edge.
Now think about Facebook posts.... get it?
I've read many articles comparing Trump's manners with Facebook posts. Hey Mark, maybe you could use this to your advantage?
Subject line reads very different if you remove the dollar sign.

This is true. I meant serious competition vs. competition for anti-trust sake.
And there simply is no competition anymore. Tick-tock was designed to hammer, hammer and keep on hammering against AMD until they were dead, deAD, DEAD! (for those that don't know AMD used to compete against Intel)
If we assume they are written in Java... then certainly we can do some profiling... just look for people with less hair.
