I'm one of the few who actually likes Terminator 3 and somehow, god knows how he was for the most part - pretty damn convincing in the movie. He really didn't appear old in the movie, definitely pulled it off but T3 itself was a decade ago. I saw him in Expendables 2 and,... I mean yeah it was fun and stupid but he was starting to really really look his age. Even his line delivery seemed off.

I'm going to have to second this guys post - some of the obscure stuff on demonoid was fucking incredible. I could not only find rare foreign films, in the correct (foreign) language but with subtitles AND 720p AND with good seeds.... and often......... and even older ones.

Seriously though, as a movie buff there were movies on demonoid, in good quality which where incredibly difficult to find anywhere, even legitimately. I do feel a bit bad about getting dodgy copies, I really do but damn it was useful for hard to find stuff, nothing has even come close since.

Great of Valve to release Steam for linux and to port their games - but bloody surprising all the Steam engine, Valve made games weren't ALL read at the actual time of launch of the product. I'm sure it's not a 5 minute task to port their engine - but once they did so, one would've thought the other products would be, somewhat trivial.

Good work but not a flying start for what some speculate may be Valves long term future.

Give both of them NO goddamn paid leave.
If you can't afford children - don't have them. Why do I need to subsidise your breeding?

I work in gov and the amount of days off I see people take because of sick children "compassionate leave" or maternity / paternity leave - it's just mind boggling. So I pay more tax, don't get bonus's while people busting out children left right and centre are being spoon fed my money.

Nope, you breed it, you pay for it.

I was considering one of these on a PC, the special circumstance though, my own PC in the office at work, just stealing their electricity.

Yes I know, it's bad, I'm evil - understood, it's the wrong thing to do - however, beyond that, if I'm not paying electicity and I got a full PC with 7970 for say 350$ in total, I was hoping to pay the thing off within 3 or 4 months. Not viable?

No seriously?
At the prices Apple is asking, let alone the ebay sellers?

I know some of these conferences will give you free technology - many intel ones hand out CPU's in the past or motherboards and CPU's, HP ones have handed out some decent hardware.

Are these people likely to get an ipad 5 or iphone 6 or even something current gen? The prices are madness. I think Google have given out a free Nexus before too.

Well, fairly usable.
It's our fault idiots keep buying fad products with glossy displays, which are defective by design.

No, I'm not just talking about Apple, sadly idiot companies copied them. Oooh nice and shiny, just like the movies!
Worst design fad of the last decade in technology.
