Yeah, but eHarmony is there to get a real date, not a playdate online. This service is utterly laughable, designed for the loneliest, most pathetic fucks on the planet. They compare it to buying a drink for a girl at a bar, which is hilarious as you do that in the hope of getting your dick wet. That isn't going to happen when you're gaming with some chick from Romania.
Damn, I think I just found a day job for my wife. She can flirt with lonely bozos online all she wants and gets paid to play games, too. This is an all-around win!
It's enough for Source games on a 1280x800 screen.
the gtx285 is the only decent one.
Wow, someone is suffering from a total bloody delusion. You're right, a 9800GTX is total crap and not decent at all. A Radeon 4870? Yeah, that's nothing.
if you had said 8600 and 9600 id be more sympathetic. the first number is the generation, the second number show its place in that gen.. like the 8800s were MUCH better then the 8400s and the same with the 9800s and the 9400s...
Captain obvious to the rescue! Come back when you've grown up enough to realize that not everyone is in a competition to have the biggest e-penis.
None of the Macs currently sold (or that have been sold in the past year or so) have integrated Intel graphics. Maybe you should figure out what you're saying before shooting your mouth off.
Ah, I see. Apple ignores abusive labor, they're horrible. Apple actually does something about abusive labor, and it's just for PR to shame other companies. Got it. They can't do anything right no matter what because you said so.
They did cut off a factory for falsifying records to cover up violations. Also, when was the last time ANY company did this? I guarantee you that a great deal of products in your home were made by sweatshops, child labor, indentured workers, etc. What are all these other companies doing about it?
I don't care what the reasons are. I'm glad that SOMEONE is doing something and that hopefully this will galvanize other companies into doing the same.
I wouldn't say so. An application like Manycam lets you put anything you want into that video feed. Let's just say that the folks over at 4chan have found Chatroulette to be one of the best kinds of trolling as they can not only rape the eyes of their victims, but actually see the reaction for themselves.
1. This is why you don't buy anything (if you want support) from a company that is getting sued out of existence.
2. This is why you don't buy anything that you can just do for free. It really isn't difficult to make a Hackintosh these days. You bought something that only simplified the process marginally, if even that.
3. This is why you don't be really, really stupid about buying things.
Did you (or any other idiot commenting here) read the damned article at all? THEY DID SEND A SUBPOENA! Blizzard could have probably ignored it, but they risked opening up a huge can of worms as a result.
And you gave "your" personal information to them when you signed up and every time you logged on. If they have that info, it isn't just "yours" anymore, and if you read their TOS, you'll find that they have no problem giving that up to law enforcement.
Read Blizzard's privacy policy. Then read the article. Blizzard was subpoenaed for the info. They didn't necessarily have to comply, but it was in their own best interest that they do so.
Did you even read the damned article? The police subpoenaed Blizzard for the info. Also, read the posts with Blizzard's privacy policy. The process was solid and will hold up in court. Take you kneejerk somewhere else.
The police sent them a subpoena, you idiot. Complying with the law is not "bowing down" to law enforcement. It's complying with the law. Not cooperating could have been costly for Blizzard. Why is that such a difficult concept for so many in this thread to grasp?
Don't forget dark matter. If I remember correctly, the dark matter kick got started when some astronomers decided to screw around with a huge telescope and just take random pictures of the sky. They saw some unexpected gravitational lensing and went from there.
Apparently some people get the opposite effect from Jobs' reality distortion field. Let's see here...
Mach: It's open source. So long as Apple abides by the license (which they do), there is no possible way they can "steal" it.
Objective-C: Apple is far from the only ones to have an Obj-C language. And the funny thing is that NeXT was the first company to license it, which Apple later purchased. Yep, obtaining a license certainly equates to theft!
MP3 Players: Are you fucking serious? Apple was far from the first to make an MP3 player. They were simply the most successful. Holy crap, Sony ripped off the inventor of the wax cylinder by making the Walkman!
Multitouch: Apple purchased Fingerworks, who had developed a number of multitouch technologies and interfaces. Again, buying is stealing?
The App Store: You can't possibly be fucking serious.
Song recommendations: See above. You mean they can recommend something based on something else you bought? WOW, they stole that...from the rest of the ENTIRE FUCKING INDUSTRY.
Phone cameras: Holy. Fucking. Shit. I'm not even going to address this.
Words cannot describe just how incredibly stupid you really are.
Yep, and it also brings a shitload of bugs that they KNEW about on the PTR. They went live with the patch anyway. The new graphical backends are causing issues left and right. I can say that in OS X, my framerates have plummeted (and I'm on a 3.8ghz i7 Hackintosh with a GTX 285), VSync no longer works at all, and the command key does not work in game. This stuff was well known on the PTR and they went live with it anyway. It's fucking unbelievable.
I can at least partially agree with this. People in the Hackintosh community should stop cheering for Psystar. Apple doesn't seem to care if hobbyists make their own Hackies. However, if more people keep trying to sell them, then guess what? Apple will not just sue those people out of existence, but they'll also start tightening their grip on OS X. It will get harder and harder to put OS X on a homebuild. So in a sense, I'm glad that Psystar is getting screwed in court. Commercial Hackintoshes are a very bad idea unless Apple officially lets people, although that's bloody unlikely.
That being said, I wish it didn't have to be that way. Apple is a bunch of dicks, but it's been that way for a long time and I doubt it's going to change as long as Steve Jobs keeps getting new organs (the guy is going to look like a Veridian from ST: Voyager in 10 years). I'd love to be able to quickly and easily get OS X on any old PC, but that's not how it is now and we all have to deal with it.
Psystar was a lost cause from the start anyway. Apple can spend more on lawyers than Psystar could gross in a year. They were dead meat from the moment Apple filed suit.

I'm guessing that voice chat will be required when available.

Nvidia 9400s are piss poor

Um, no, your 2006 Macbook Pro would have a Radeon X1600 in it. There is no Mac that had an 8400 in it.

Sooo...Apple tells these guys to shape up or ship out and that makes them even lower? You wouldn't happen to own a Chinese sweatshop, would you?
I wouldn't say so. An application like Manycam lets you put anything you want into that video feed. Let's just say that the folks over at 4chan have found Chatroulette to be one of the best kinds of trolling as they can not only rape the eyes of their victims, but actually see the reaction for themselves.
I'm sure the chucklefucks at the Geek Squad will cry many buttery tears.
Since when is the Fairness Doctrine free speech? Since when is banning sites that post "right wing rumors" free speech?
You have an awfully warped definition.
1. This is why you don't buy anything (if you want support) from a company that is getting sued out of existence.
2. This is why you don't buy anything that you can just do for free. It really isn't difficult to make a Hackintosh these days. You bought something that only simplified the process marginally, if even that.

If you'd actually bother to RTFA, you'd find that there WAS A GODDAMNED SUBPOENA!
Read Blizzard's privacy policy. Then read the article. They were subpoenaed. Fuck you, you kneejerking bozo.

Better turn all the lights off and hide in a lead-lined cave.

Maybe they thought that he'd stolen some precious joules.
Because this has NOTHING to do with Hackintoshes, you idiot. It's happening to Mac users en masse.
