You'd think that. But remember that we've been in a bit of a gaming dark-age, where the min-sys-reqs for a game were relatively low. That is until the 8th gen consoles shipped and developers were finally able to raise the hardware bar from a C2D/2GB/8800GT for their absolute minimums. AC:U is the first AC game from the 8th gen hardware set. Black Flag, while available for Gen8, had it's PC version sourced from the Gen7 release with much lower system requirements than Unity.

That used to not be the case, surprisingly.

The PCBs. Take a moment to think about it. That is naturally where all the inductors are mounted.

The new 'trashcan' design ones are however built with laptop-modeled components. Designed to conserve as much space within it's overly minimal enclosure as physically possible.

Diablo 3, though before that it was Starcraft for N64 and Lost Vikings 2 for PS1.

World of Warcraft and StarCraft 2.

It's not the lack of a Start Button that gets me. It's the whole 'forced touch-UI' experience, the fact that half the system's settings are in a classic dialog and the other half are in a Metro dialog, the complete lack of warning when the system is going to kick you in one direction or another. Performance-wise, I'm sure it's fine. But it's the user experience that completely turns me off. If they'd done it right the first time (i.e. Windows 10), then I'd probably have taken the time to upgrade. But Win8/8.1 will never have a place on any system I'm using.

Well duh, who would willingly want Windows 8 on their PC? I've been refraining from buying a new Asus ROG system until Windows 10 is available on them.

If Comcast is in the wrong here, and it wouldn't surprise me if they were, this guy is gonna be able to come in to a whole lot of money. Both from Comcast and his former employer.

I'll pick the one that leads to unscrupulous employees getting fired as quickly as possible. Escorted outside immediately by those very same guards.

All the same, internal or not, why would a guard have access to sensitive and classified internal Google data? If they do, someone needs to rapidly fire whoever is handling information security and replace them with someone competent.

What kind of idiot gives physical security staff access to private systems they don't need? Access controls are paramount for something like this. Guards shouldn't be given access to anything that isn't directly required by their position.

Are you high? Milestone 11 doesn't exist yet. It probably hasn't even been frozen yet. The most recent Milestone release is 10, which has worked flawlessly with my N7-2012, Netflix included.

How? CM already doesn't have GApps by default since at least CM7, because Google put a stop to it. You can't stop people from flashing GApps to a CM running device.

Then why did they throw a shitfit when they found out CM actually did bundle GApps early in it's lifespan? Ever since CM7 (So far as I recall, could be as early as 6), you have to flash GApps seperately or else the system is somewhat useless initially. That didn't used to be the case, nor is it with any CM edition devices like Oppo's N1 or the OnePlus One.
