The other half...hardware upgrades and a real life.
Arguing "real life" with a hardcore gamer is like arguing the cost of gas with a NASCAR driver. As if they actually give a shit.
If wasting time was any type of real concern, the game would stay in the box and on the store shelf.
IIRC NASCAR uses ethanol for fuel? (so that the flames are invisible and don't frighten the spectators).
Well, the Samsung 3.2 TB drive claims that you can read/write the entire drive every day for five years before failure. It's my understanding that at one point, SSDs were notorious for gradually declining over time, but that today's generation of SSDs basically has reliability out the wazoo. I can't quote you stats on it, but anecdotally, I've had a couple of SSDs in my computer for several years now, I leave it on 24x7, and I've never had a problem.
...Yet. YMMV.
I certainly hope that's sarcasm.
Its both sarcasm and the reality of how government perceive their needs
I was in China last month, our hotel had CNN. As soon as it reached the segment about Hong Kong, the channel just blacked out. About 10 minutes later it came back on as if nothing happened.
Why be scared of external opinions? You do not see that as censorship? Suppressing history is censorship.
You are basically calling the Chinese populace a bunch of idiots who would not know how to make decisions for themselves.
This is why

the rioters in other cities also got the idea from news media.
News media and social networking blackout on the riots when they started would likely have stopped the riots happening in the other cities. Because the democratic UK had little taste for such media control the situation got very out of hand. Thats part and parcel of being a democracy eh.
Shame it doesn't work on Windows 8.1....
And the build dependencies gave me a lot of trouble when I tried to install it; the recommended packages don't work with one another, the extra python tools didn't even recognise that python was installed.
Silly foreigner, only American citizens are human beings with rights.
I suggest that you go for a drive with $500 in cash in your car. When the police stop you and find this cash, explain this to them. (this assumes you are in the USA, of course)
Couple thoughts... first that people need to quit blaming police for asset forfeiture, and start blaming the people who elect politicians that passed the stupid laws - and the only ones that can revoke them.
Not really. Its not as if a cop who looks in your car and sees a wad of cash is faced with an obvious crime which he, as a cop, is obliged to act on. The cops are totally able to say "oh look, obvious drug money! *yoink*" or to ignore it.
They, the cops, choose to steal from you. In the USA.
Government needs to follow their own laws otherwise what's the whole point?
Government needs to be able to ignore its own laws and selectively apply them as is useful to do at the time. Thats a core function in government.
So, because he is exercising his rights as a foreign citizen living in another country and going through the legally established international process for determining extradition, he is a 'fugitive' and thus his assets are fair game?
This is theft, plain and simple, just like "civil" asset forfeiture.
The USA has no problem stealing from their own citizens in their own country, its hardly a surprise that they have no problem stealing from citizens of other countrys who are also overseas.
To be fair, having seen the video of the US Diplomat (April Glaspie) saying to the Iraqis (actual Saddam IIRC); '[W]e have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait' you can read that deliberately obtuse statement either way. The subtlety of the language may have been lost in translation, but I would certainly not argue with someone who suggested that it ment that the US would not intervene in an Iraqi prosecution of a border skirmish with Kuwait. Likewise , I'm sure the diplomats were oh the view that had told the Iraqis that the US had not yet formulated their view on the merits of the Iraqi border claims.

Uh...how radical does it have to be, before it's acceptable to hit the button? How radicalized is it acceptable to be? How radicalizable are the proles?
I'd hit the button for anything political or religious in nature. Just because I can.
I love how the Democratic Party invention of free speech zones somehow became a "Dubya" thing. They may have only become widely covered starting in 2000, but they were originally an invention of the DNC to keep pro-life protestors away from their 1988 convention.
Both parties have been using them since the 2004 elections, so it's not like you can lay the blame solely on the Republicans either. Both parties do it.
The UK has had 'free speech zones' for decades, its called 'Hyde Park Speaker's Corner'.
a well regulated militia was the PEOPLE. That means the people have a right to bear arms....
And well regulated means registering with the government so it knows who has a gun so they can be called upon it times of invasion or insurrection.
No, it does not. It means "well trained".
No, it didn't. It meant that the guns had been properly tested.
don't get me wrong, i love their fans... but come on, it's a fan.
those exec and investors are dreaming if you think that market is that large.
Its not just fans, they also make pretty good heatsinks. A lot of those heatsinks are pure copper. So Zalman must get through quite a lot of the stuff and it isn't cheap.
For example, I used to have a dual CPU machine with two large Zalman pure copper heatsinks, the sort that are really big and have fins in a fan-out arrangement. In total there was about half a kilo of copper hanging off of that motherboard. They didn't even need fans on them, just the case fan was enough.
Manufacturing this shit must involve having a lot of copper stock.
