It's price gouging when you have no choice to pay for something you need and they raise the price to unfair levels. Nobody was forcing anyone to buy Intel parts. If you didn't like the high prices and better performance of Intel parts you where perfectly free to pay the cheaper price for AMD's parts.
While the FX parts didn't have the performance their intel counterparts did, they where more than adequate for 99% of what people would use them for.
Why are my posts still showing as 0 when my karma is excellent?
This article doesn't surprise me. I know at least a dozen people in SL who have disabilities in RL. I I even know one couple, he is bound to a bed paralyzed from the neck down. They spend a great deal of their time together in SL to escape the limitations he has.
A free month in a free game? That sounds like a bargain
There are two members of membership in SL. The basic free account, which is plenty for most people. Most of the people I know have this account.
There is a paid membership that gets you some bonuses like free land, extra group slots, and better customer support. Most creators and builders have this membership.
The funny thing about the premium membership is it costs you about $10 a month. You get a stiyphen of about L$300 a week for your membership, more if your account is older. L$300 comes out to be about a $1.25 so out of a $10 membership you wind up paying a little over $5 once your stiyphen gets added up.
I hate in game purchases with the heat of a thousand suns
This makes little to no sense what so ever. You walk up a vendor, right click on it, and select pay. A box pops up asking if you're sure you want to do this. You say yes, and it takes you're money and gives you a box.
I don't know what sims you are hanging out in but SL is more than alive for me. I take in live music at the End of Time sims, go listen to blues at Fogbounds, and to take mesh and scripting classes at the Builders Brewery.
SL is just like any other interactive medium, you get out of it what you put in to it. If all you are doing is hanging out with a couple of fiends in one sim then maybe you might want to get out and check out some other sims. There is plenty of things to do. You just have to go find them.
Granted it will be difficult to do well. But in the end VR will be for entertainment, AR will eventually integrate with every facet of your life.
Exactly. VR will have its uses but AR will be a complete game changer. Everything from the battle field to advertising will be changed. You currently have a world of information that you can access from almost anywhere. Now you have that information right in front of you.
Now can anyone think of the down sides to this? Discuss.
Obama had a terrible relationship with Russia and Hillary was practically calling for air strikes on Moscow. I think we'll be ok with Trump.
I'm not worried about Trump starting a nuclear war with Russia ether. Trump is at first a businessman and contrary to what the rules of acquisition say war is not good for business. I also believe in the system in place. If Trump does go "off the rails" congress will step in and remove him.
I'm sorry but you lost your argument here. How can you call Clinton "competent?" She was the media and the Whitehouse chosen successor to Obama. She all but had the election in the bag, but she managed it so badly the lost to Bozo the Clown."
For god sakes she was running a mail server out of her closet for state business. This woman was far from competent.
Really? We are now in more danger of all-out nuclear war than during Cuban Missile Crisis?
I highly doubt that we are. That is one of the reasons why I can't take this clock seriously. Over the past 40 years I have heard the line "we are closer to nuclear war than we have been since."
Play with your clock if it makes you feel better. Call me when the nukes fly. I still have the sunscreen lotion and the bottle of tequila I was saving from the '80.
Totally agree with you. Those of us that grew up under the constant pressure of instant annihilation from nuclear attack just don't get worked up over climate change that much.
But anyway this is what I don't under stand. So many liberals that I know are losing their shit that Trump is openly talking to Russia. Russia has many nukes and a delivery system that will work and will reach us. Why would you not want to have a open dialog with Russia? Seems insane to not have it.
When we didn't have a open dialog with Russia in the 1960's we almost exterminated ourselves. We WANT to have a dialog with our "enemy." I would much better have a war of words than a war of nukes.
My phone lives in a case but it is thin enough for the charge to take. My daughter's S7 is in a thinker case and doesn't take a charge when she sets it on the charge pad. What she did is get a case where the phone sits in a magnetic insert. She just plucks the phone out of the outer case and it charges that way.
Well I did say "at least." The last time I missed the pad I noticed that it said 80% when I woke up. I can't be 100% that it was fully charged before going to bed that night. I just assumed that, probably shouldn't have assumed.
Actually that is a good question. I'll put fully charge my S7 tonight and not put it on the charging pad over night. If it wake up with a 80% then I need to check the apps that run at night.
Both my daughter and I are very pleased with the battery life of our S7s over our old S4s. On her S4 she would have to stay "tethered" most of the time to a wall outlet. She doesn't have to do that now.
I love the wireless charging of the S7 too. I have charging pads placed around the house where I would normally be with my phone. I just put my phone on one of those when not using it.
I do hate the round samsung charging pads. Who ever thought of that design should be flogged. It's is easy to put the phone on the pad and not have it in the right position to charge. That is where the S7s good battery life comes in.
I have a round pad next to my bed. There has been a number of times when i would pick up my phone in the middle of the night and not place it correctly on the pad where it would not charge. On my old S4 if I didn't charge it at night it would be dead in the morning. Even not on the pad my S7 will have at least a 80% charge come morning if I missed the pad and my battery was full when I went to bed.
I have a few offline hard drives that I have encrypted with truecrypt. I have noticed that one of the options for hash values is SHA-512. Does this in any way effect truecrypt?
Yes, I know it is no longer supported and I should switch.

It was a very touching story when I met them.

Well that isn't creepy at all.
I don't think they understand the meaning of the word "clean."
Why not both? Teach them to code but set the interface language to something useful, like Mandarin.
Two birds, one rock.

Not exactly a difficult or stressful operation.

Hey. That is just for my donkey porn buddy.
Well when we consider that a 7 TB Samsung SSD costs 11,000 bucks, I believe we can see why.
Pirate movie collection? Try porn collection.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was running it out of the dumpster behind Trump tower. I don't believe anything he did would surprise me.

I probably should. I've moved since then, several times, I don't even know what box its in.
Please demonstrate your option that Trump is "demonstrably unstable."
Russia disliked Clinton but she was competent

Put the head of your security department on a pike outside the system room, as a example of what failure looks like to his successor.
