  4. Re:US policy: first arm them then bomb on New US Airstrikes In Iraq Intended to Protect Important Dam · · Score: 1

    That is nonsense. The US government provided arms to the Iraqi government. The Iraqi government lost control over them due to the attacks that they weren't able to stand up to. They probably would have made it if the US still have a meaningful presence there. The US left Iraq in no small part due to the stupid claims detached from reality that the US was there for the oil when it is European and Chinese companies getting the oil contracts.

    It's Europe that is hurting for oil, not the US.

    But.. but.. but.. zionists!

  5. It is much smaller than the iPads screens on E-Books On a $20 Cell Phone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But it is much smaller than the iPads screens.

    It is less than 1/9 the size of the 10" of an iPad.

    Also can I expect the resolution to suck too?

    Why cares? Why is this slashvertisment posted on /.?

    It may not be much smaller than an old iPod Touch and maybe it doesn't have worse resolution either who knows but so what? It's still poor and shitty. Small, low-res and no e-ink.

    "Shitty smartphone can do smartphone stuff although shitty" - You don't say?

    The Killer NIC may work. I don't think either work with OS X and there the Gigabyte boards are supposed to be easier to work with.

    One interesting Steam box design I saw was one which was hanged as a "backpack" on your TV.

    I guess depending on whatever one already have a powerful PC or whatever one prefer tablets there may be a difference in whatever one would just want a simple box which can stream the games using the PC as rendering engine or a more capable one which will actually be running the games.

    Since the Steam controller and Steam machines with SteamOS was delayed Alienware launches with Windows 8.1, Steam and the Xbox 360 controller instead (the Xbox One work in Windows now too with official drivers but have to be connected with micro-USB cable rather than wireless, I don't know when they will fix wireless connection for it but I haven't bought one waiting for that to happen in case I can't buy it separately.)

    I should had thought about dual channel myself =P

    The 17 GB I saw mentioned was from a wiki and it make sense that answered for the single memory module :)

    I thought later about using R290X because it likely had the greatest number, GTX 770 happen to be what I consider "good but not insanely extreme" :), good enough to beat an APU platform but not something which wouldn't be considered by most (or well, maybe so, but not out of reach for them at least :))

    How do you judge playable?

    For instance in bf4 full-hd (or whatever it was, I've closed the tab) the 7850 seem to have done around 30 FPS.

    It all depends on what you want though.

    Also it showed TDP as 65/45 (turbo or no turbo?.)

    70% the price for 75% the GPU and 84-90% the CPU power?
