Completely not true. You need something as powerful as this or even more to play AAA games like Elite: Dangerous with maximum image quality (i;e. including say 2x supersampling) in high definition VR at 90 frames sec X2 (eyes) without dropping frames (i.e. making you feel nauseous)
Anyone who actually wants to make/own their own copy of a broadcasted show so they don't have a dependency on being connected to the Internet and to have to pay again to stream it, and someone else keeping it available?

Try taking your European premium car to an independent. None of them have access to the diagnostic tools or software that the dealers have, that in some cases are necessary for even basic tasks that in any way involve the ECU.
Anybody that keeps their life's work on a single free cloud service and also doesn't keep any backups, is in my opinion so stupid that its almost inevitable eventual loss should be considered self-inflicted.
I've never trusted Zotac stuff it always seems to be low/budget quality. I'd be interest to see how a Founders card compares to a factory-oc'd EVGA card though.
I did see some stuff, gonna have to look for it again. From memory I think the founders edition they had seemed to overclock slightly better than average but it wasn't the best OC card. I'd be far more inclined to bet that the OC ability of the founders edition is down to it being a more effective cooler and maybe even something stupid like just higher quality or more properly applied thermal paste, rather than a higher-binned chip.
Its the fault of voters. Very few Americans actually vote for the candidate with the policies they most agree with. They either habitually always vote for the same party regardless of candidate or their policies, or just vote for the candidate most likely to win against the candidate/party they most dont want.
The inevitable outcome of decades of negative voting instead of positive voting is that at some point (i.e. now) we're going to reach the bottom. What we are seeing now is a direct result of decades of voters following a negative voting process: A president being chosen from for one of the two most completely and inherently unsuitable candidates to be president in the entire USA.
As soon as you see the move to replacing employees with H1Bs coming, you need to already be looking for another job. The market is actually pretty good at the moment. If you have any decent skills then you will be in demand. Also if you don't already have some rainy-day money put aside to cover say 6 months of unemployment then you're already putting your family at significant financial risk. I guess if you're forced into a position where severance is dependent on you retraining your replacement, and you really can't do without it, then I would appear to go along with it to get the money, but be REALLY bad at the retraining. You were hired for your engineering skills not for training skills. At this point it just sucks for them if you clearly don't have any. Who knows, maybe if you make it look like your H1B replacement just can't hack it, then they will decide to keep you instead. Even if that happened I would already be doing everything to get out of there ASAP, but at least it would be on your timescale.

Import tariffs and tax breaks.
China has an endless supply of people that will work for next to nothing. You'd think they would be the last ones to be looking into robots.
dammit really? There goes that idea....
Aww damn really? I guess I'll have to cancel my order.

Bzzzzt totally wrong.
That would be the Tesla product range. Titan is a gaming GPU.
Its so powerful, it shot first then created a whole separate timeline in which it shot second.

Apparently someone doesn't understand lasers.

I'm surprised they didn't just call it MS console :-)
I can't help but think this was a blatant attempt by Microsoft to suddenly gain ownership of the generic and long-used term "streaming".
Just wait for the rash of law suits from Microsoft against websites that have already been "streaming" audio/video for years.
What a retard. How do these people even get into government?
Chinese government creates new arm of military tasked with collecting all Pokemon Go characters located in military bases.

>> We believe in an inclusive country that fosters opportunity
Translation: We prefer a corrupt government so we can get an endless supply of H1B visas to replace all our US workers with cheap foreign labor.
I'm surprised that Rand Paul isn't in the list. Kinda makes me wonder which side is the sham.
All politicians are liars, but why are you skeptical about this group?

Just grow some balls and refuse to train your replacement. You know you're going to be out of there soon anyway.
