He really screwed up the release of these documents. He needed to compile all the worst offenses and release them back to back to back. A year ago or so when he released the most damning one, Congress started fussing, but then he went quiet for another several months. Releasing it slowly allowed the public opinion to warm up to the idea of it, instead of adding fuel to fire we were trying to hold the NSA's feet to.

Now, the opportunity is lost, and will never be had again, except for maybe in the new country that starts on Mars from the pilgrims that follow John Galt^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Elon Musk there to start the Atlas society.

I'm using a PC and I don't need AV software. I occasionally install AVGFree when 'something is acting funny' just to make sure (to date only once was it a remote-jack virus) or if I accidently clicked through an Ask.com toolbar installation on the latest bundle of aTube Catcher that I downloaded. Otherwise, I've been fine. Stay away from shady websites and don't install every *.exe you run across and you'll be fine

oh, I thought he was a monkey person.

I guess that would change how I feel about him

A good example with this you can expect coming up will be about how 4GB isn't enough memory for future proofing, but how 3 months ago everyone was saying having only 3.5GB available in the 970 wasn't.

AMD's drivers have, historically, been a little more rough around the edges for special features (alt-tabbing to multitask with something on the right HDMI monitor while using dual monitors while gaming on the left in DVI-- this was a problem 3-4 years ago, but not now), but lately (last year that I've had my 7850) I've been impressed with their driver stability, and it reminds me of how well my 670 worked 4 years ago.

NVidia still has the edge on CPU efficiency with their drivers currently but that'll be changing with these DX12-capable cards where any game compiled in DX12 will make use of new parallelized draw calls that improve multi-core driver scaling substantially, which should solve AMD's current problem. In other words, this Fury/FuryX card looks like both fastest and cheapest card for anything but 4k gaming (where it sometimes loses to the 980Ti).

for anyone who was looking for more to read on this matter, Ars Technica looked into this with PCMark2005. I'm not sure why but I don't care if that was a 10 year old benchmark, 10 years is not a long time IMO. I suppose AMD could be blamed a little though for not supporting writable registers like Via on their chips...

NVidia does sorta-similar with their Game/HairWorks features in Witcher 3, or pushing retardedly stupid anti-aliasing modes because their architecture runs them better than AMD's.

I'm sorry, but a telco or commco changing the meaning of the word 'unlimited' to mean 'less than unlimited' is a free lunch. FCC just took it back.

All they have to do now, is actually specify the speed tiers. 10GB? full speed. after? 256kbps.

Meh. Not going to kill their business, nor is it a slippery slope to something worse that we're sliding down towards like socialism. This is simply defense of the english language against greed.

oh, didn't know this. thought they owned all that

I am well aware they don't, but that's because I thought they owned them.

I don't regularly watch kids tv. I see you do, and are hiding you coward

can you open that up for us? I wasn't aware of this, and would appreciate a short schooling session

honestly, if you're going to bribe congress to let you pillage the country's copyright system getting it extended every 25 years so that your financial conglomerate can continue leaching off the IP of one creative man who died 50 years ago, the least you can do is keep some Americans employed.

fuckers.

OK, but point is I bought Beyond Good and Evil and XGRA after seeing the list and them saying 'more were coming', and those more never came. XGRA I can understand, but BG&E was a highly rated classic that should have been included.

if it weren't so laughably or desirably easy to do this, you would have a point.

Let's take a look:

* the founder of Paypal, largest digital payment system;
* and SpaceX, the company to be the first to land rocket stages backwards cutting launch costs to 10% what they were before;
* and Tesla, the only electric car company to actually make it, much less thrive

says he can do it again for much cheaper.

I, for one, welcome our new John Galtian overlord.

I don't usually hold my breath when it's cleaning day, no problems so far.
