I assumed they must be Chinese. Who else could claim ownership of the US "our country"?
Wait, so you don't consider it to be your country? Maybe that is why your country is so screwed up if you do not think of yourself as having "ownership" of it. You think the problems are for someone else to solve.
The upscaling is pretty impressive. A good 4k upscaler looks significantly better on the same 1080 source. That said, 1080p give a pretty sharp picture in it's won right. I don't think 4k is very noticeable in typical size family room (i.e. viewing from 10-14 ft away) unless you have a 75" or larger TV. Similarly, if you have 42" or smaller TV 720p is probably OK unless you are sitting 6 ft away from it.
Not this again? Listen, not everyone lives in the burbs in a huge house with a "family room". Many live in condos downtown where a TV cannot be 10-14 feet away so a 55" 4k TV is noticeable.
I have seen uninitiated consumers tricked into buying last year's inventory of 3D or OLED HD 1080p sets for the same price as a 4k TV. They are convinced by the salesman that the they should spend over 1k on a slightly better picture (OLED) or gimmicky 3D TVs that will only work with 3D bluray discs. They are that you cannot see the difference in 4k because there is no content. There is 4k Netflix, 4k Youtube and 4k Bluray already and most sets now do a great job upscaling 1080 content.
If you have a small condo in the city, you do not need a 60 inch TV and if you are getting one, you should not be getting a 1080p model at this point regardless if it is OLED or curved. You are better off with a 4k model now. I have a 55" 4k samsung that I am still happy with even though it is a year old model with 4k Netflix but only 1080p youtube. I can use my laptops to drive it to 4k and watch Youtube that way.
My 4k Samsung is an awesome 4k monitor.
For Musk, this isn't just a *theory*: it's fairly obvious he's using the cheat system.;)
The codes are found in a book composed of many books. It was dictated over generations to various writers by the the one who wrote the system. He came to the Earth and one point but the local inhabitants treated him poorly and killed him not realising that his death would result in the start of a reset of the system. The initial parts of the shutdown process have already begun.
I can't believe ANYONE associated with this dev could think this was a good idea. It's possible you could have a user or two make serious threats, but 100? Sorry, didn't happen.
And if you make games so bad as to inspire 100 people to send you death threats, maybe you should re-evaluate your chosen career...
I am sorry but shouldn't the people who make those sorts of threats be placed in a mental facility to have their head examined? Would a sane person make a death threat over a game? Steam should have banned the users making threats. The customer is not always right.
Well you guys objected when we called you nazi scum, so we had to think up a new name...
National SOCIALIST WORKER PARTY is right wing now? All regimes with NAZI tactics and behaviours so far in the past have been socialist. Are you confusing fascists (Italian) with the NAZI? The latter grew out of the union movement and first met in gay bars. Hitler was being given female hormones by his doctor.

Liberalism: Ideas so good they require an end to the world's largest prison state that has supported fascism for so many years.
Please read 1984. It is a warning against English Socialism. The party in the story is called IngSoc which is New Speak for English Socialism incase you could not figure that out. Political Correctness is the New Speak of today.
How about almost every climatology study done in the last forty years?
I tell you what. If you don't think AGW is real, why don't you explain where all the energy being absorbed by CO2 in the atmosphere is going. Are you advocating the "magic heat sink back into space" theory?
What do you think trees and other plants breath? What do you think the earth did before humans existed when a volcano erupted spewing many times more so-called "greenhouse" gasses into the atmosphere?
If you are really paranoid about this stuff, go out there and plant some more trees. Or shut the hell up.
Why doesn't the $170K go directly to the school district? I doubt the FCC has anything to do with ensuring the school districts budgets are compensated.
Are you expecting the victims to be compensated? That does not happen with civilian victims either. The government agencies love to enrich themselves from the misery of others.
Sounds like a form of Treason if true. Inviting a foreign nation tho cyber-attack America and/or Americans... can;t believe people actually are willing to vote for this piece of garbage
Treason? Do you mean like having secret government emails on a home server? Like knowingly allowing soldiers and an Ambassador to die in Benghazi and then blaming it all on a Youtube video?
Kerry is an asshat and not to be taken seriously. Why do you Americans keep on voting is morons from the Democratic party? They have no clue what they are doing.
It is the Democrats telling business that all sexes should be able to use the male or female bathrooms.
How is a bathroom male or female? Last I checked, most have sinks, and most have doors which hide toilets which are 100% identical. How much can people talk about nothing?
Men's rooms generally have urinals. They generally stink like urinals mixed with a lot of poo smell. Ladies rooms do not have urinals and fancier establishments have places for sitting down and talking as well as a makeup table with a large mirror.
I generally spend as little time as possible in public men's rooms because of the odour.
They are nowhere near identical or you simply travel in different social circles than I do. I know something about what lady's rooms look like based on what I hear from my fiancee and other ladies. Oh, I forgot, this is slashdot so most of you do not know any ladies besides your mother.
Historical revisionism is apparent. Luckily, the US is alone in swallowing this revisionist bull. The rest of us know the reality.
Apparently, you skipped school during the history lesson. It is not revisionist. It is an accurate description of serfdom which eventually morphed into mercantilism and trade guilds and eventually we ended up with entrepreneurship and capitalism. Capitalism is the great equaliser. It allows the low born to rise up through society and become part of the ruling class. Some of the "old money" rich want to see a return to serfdom and that is why they are systematically trying to destroy the middle class to prevent the lower classes from having an avenue to escape poverty. They want to stay rich themselves but keep any more people from pulling themselves out of the muck of poverty.
You are right, we used to have freedom until you nanny state lefties decided what we can eat, watch, drive, build and fly on our own property. California is the worst for over regulation.
You give 40+ hours of your week away to corporate bosses, just so you can feed yourself.
37.5 hours on average. I can more than feed myself. I can travel to exotic places, stay at 5 star resorts, buy my fiancee a nice diamond solitaire engagement ring and support numerous charities and ministries.
That's called slavery.
No, it is called a job or a career.
Getting a handout and not needing to slave at a job would GIVE YOU MORE FREEDOM.
No, it would indenture me to be a slave of the state by requiring me to hand over more of my money. Someone has to work to produce. We cannot all be welfare bums.
It astounds me that you right-wingers have been brainwashed so hard you're basically stockholm'd zombie slaves to capitalism.
Yeah, sorry but I have a nice 6 figure salary, 5 weeks of vacation and a nice benefits package. I do sometimes work overtime but rarely.
White Privilege right there. Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton, the finest examples there are.
Don't forget that the Clinton's belong to a "whites only" country club for years and that Bill Clinton loves the Confederate flag. He even used it as part of his campaign logo for governor I believe.
You've gone insane from wingnut propaganda. People call the toxic Conservatives bigots and racists because of the bigoted and racist things they say and do. It's a dead-end subculture that destroyed the Republican party.
Funny, I thought Bill Clinton was a Democrat. He was a member of a "whites only" country club and he was proud of the confederate flag even using it as part of his campaign logos and making a speech about how much he loved that flag. I thought it was the Republican party that ended slavery and ended segregation in the schools of the south and state democrats were the ones that opposed it. I thought Democrats in the US senate and House voted against early legislation to end segregation and extend rights to non-whites. I thought that Republicans could not get elected in the south because they advocated for equality for the black and the whites there voted Democrat because of that.
The democrats were on the losing side of the civil war. Go brush up on your history. You have been fooled.
the rich don't have to pay for the common infra and yet they benefit from it. I say force it from them. make taxes truly work for us all. its not a hard concept to grasp.
Wow. You have no clue how the world works. It is the poor that do not pay for the common infrastructure but they benefit from it. Who do you think pays property taxes to the municipal government? Rich landowners pay for local schools whether they have children or and and whether they have them in public schools or not. People who pay rent are not paying toward local schools other than from State income taxes possibly and the lower the income, the more likely that they are paying little to no taxes. The middle class tends to pay the most taxes.
The hashtag against racist violence is to protest the violence, not to inspire it, but the racist-right can't handle the idea of black people having the same rights as the rest of us do, so they'll pretend that a murderous nut is the fault of Black Lives Matter, even though he was shooting at BLM protesters in addition to the police.
Racist right? Like Stalin? Like the national socialists? You keep on talking about the "right" but libertarians are "right" and are all about individualism to an extreme rather than collectivism and centralised control.
I would encourage you to consider Gary Johnson. The Johnson/Weld ticket actually has some experience governing that includes balancing budgets. FWIW, Johnson's a way more successful businessman than Trump.
So you want them to throw their vote away and ensure a Clinton presidency? Do you even understand how the election works?

Massively reducing the production of CO2 and other gasses which contribute to global warming and climate change.
So what is your plan to stop volcanic eruptions? That is the primary source of C02 emissions besides animals.
