My problem with this new card is, as far as I can tell it barely meets the minimum requirements for some next-gen games. Isn't the min req for Assassins Creed Unity like a GeForce 680?

The specs for all new games are out of whack with the latest generation of video cards. If you buy a $200 card, you should be able to play any game released in the same year (though probably not on Ultra).

I just don't want to pull the trigger on a $350 video card, but it looks like game devs are making that the entry level for AAA games.

If the group had valid points, there would have been more than a handful of e-celebs who have identified themselves as part of the group instead of hiding behind anonymous white hoods.

Because Adam Baldwin is pro-GG and Ratzo is very anti-GG so he probably thinks that while he can peddle his point of view it's a bit outrageous that people who disagree with him can do the same.

I keep slipping that stuff in there hoping /gg'ers will post replies under their account names. Like Lt. Aldo "The Apache" Raine, I like to be able to see my gamergators coming.

But I guess the shame factor prevents them from doing so. I can understand that.

Could those have been addressed? No idea. It was great when I reached university though and all that shit went away.

Bless your heart. So much of growing up (and parenting) is just random, it seems. It's good that you can see how things changed for you. Maybe you come to some understanding of what played into the change. You'd probably be a good parent.

Most of what I remember about my kid's early and middle school years was fierce love and hope. Fortunately, my wife seemed to have a pretty good grasp on the complicated stuff of young girls, but even then, I remember a lot of cluelessness on our part. It was mostly a matter of doing our best to be honest with her and honestly listening to what she had to say.

I'm honestly glad it worked out for you. And it seems to have worked out for us, too.

Sorry, you're wrong. By your definition, this post is programming because I'm encoding commands for what should be displayed on screen in the form of ascii commands. HTML and CSS are not programming, they're design.

He's making sites from scratch without programming because HTML isn't programming. Most small business/personal websites require little to no work even at the javascript level. He isn't talking about writing a blog, he's talking about a dozen screens for a restaurant with their location, menu, and a few pictures. Which still probably shouldn't be done by hand anymore unless its a personal for fun project.

And that's stock, not cash. I don't think even Google has 200B cash sitting around. For the sale to go through they'd have to give stock, and at a premium. Realistically you'd see FB owning 35-50% of the new company in an all stock deal. Just not feasible.

I doubt FB would take that offer, and I'm not entirely sure Apple actually could physically make it. But ignoring that it would be the worst possible merger you can imagine. There are no 2 more polar opposite cultures in the valley than those two.

Have you see FB's market cap? I'm pretty sure they don't.

It would get rid of the only piece of functionality worth having. The screen was tiny, hard to see, impeded your normal vision, and more or less utterly sucked. It couldn't be interacted with and couldn't take text input well. The only interesting thing about the device was the camera and what you could do with it in the realm of computer vision. I'd rather lose the screen and have a wearable camera with bluetooth to my phone for display and processing. I already have a far superior screen in my pocket and I can perform real input on it. The screen was useless.

and if my kid HAD cyberbullied, they would be so grounded. I'd take the smartphone away and they'd have a Jitterbug like Granny.

You know, as the parent of a now-grown daughter, I sometimes wonder what I would have done if I found out my kid was a bully. I mean, bullies are just the worst, at every age group and in every socio-economic category. And the thing is, once a kid has become a bully, I'm not sure what kind of parenting is going to get that out of them. Grounding won't do it, because they'll just get more pissed off and take it out on some kid that's too scared to talk about it. Even if you were that kind of parent, it's not something that can be beaten out of them (obviously). Medication doesn't help sociopaths (I don't think).

You know, there are only a few things that would make me feel like a failure as a parent. I don't care if my kid was gay or transexual or wants to be an English major or run away and join the circus or get tattoos on their eyeballs and listen to Disturbed records.. I'd still love my kid. But if I ever found out my kid was a bully, either in real life or online, hassling people for how they look or their gender or lifestyle or making threats or doxxing people or wearing #Meninist t-shirts, I think I'd give them a very serious talking to and then just start hoping they move out early and don't call home too often and maybe grow out of it before they ruin too many lives. Either that or drown them, but then I'd go to jail (unless the judge was the parent of a bully or a bullied kid, in which case I might get let off with a warning and $50 fine).

no they were too newfag for 4chan so they went over to cripplechan in order to bitch about their lifetime involuntary celibacy and how they should be allowed to rape because otherwise they will never get any.

Gee, that's kind of harsh.

Three.

- the CIA

And by the way, your fly's open.

God dammit.

You know, I wonder about that. I'm not sure the CIA has to infiltrate anywhere to monitor peoples' thoughts in an age when everyone has developed a compulsion to share each and every one of their thoughts with the world. I mean, ISIS has twitter accounts for chrissake. Even Adam Baldwin has a twitter account, so at this point, the bigger problem is not collecting those "thoughts" but turning them into information that can be acted upon and ignoring the trolls and shitposters.

[true story: my favorite old keyboard died the other day. I didn't mention it to anyone, didn't tweet or email about it or put it on facebook. Not a word. Didn't search for new keyboards online or visit any stores that sell keyboards. Just plugged in an old cheapie I had laying about the house. It happened about 8:30am. By noon, I was getting targeted ads for these fancy new mechanical keyboards. Coincidence? Maybe. More likely, the NSA/Google industrial complex has set up mobile Stingray targets to monitor my thoughts. The bastards.]

[here, watch this. Hey CIA, I'm thinking of a number between one and ten. What is it?]

All the pedos and two other toxic groups (mostly all the same people) moved over to 8chan when 4chan was no longer willing to tolerate them.

Can you imagine being too despicable for 4chan? And yet, it happened.
