I get most of my Amazon packages from the Amazon locker from the local 7-11. For packages that are too big for Amazon lockers, I send those to my POB or arrange for Sunday delivery when I'm home. I was a bit surprised to see a mail carrier working on Sunday to deliver my last oversized package.

It seems I've read Texans say that could never happen here because everyone would pull out their guns in church and shoot the shooter.

The shooter shot into the church building while walking around it from the outside, and then went inside to finish the job. Short of posting guards at the church doors, they never saw this threat coming and couldn't shoot back if they were armed.

Maybe you just bought a 7970 from a crappy company.

Nope. Being unable to run "Rage" on 7970 and AMD processor is well documented problem that never got fixed. Not by AMD. Not by id Software. After my $300 video card went up in smoke, I replaced it with a $60 Nvidia video card and the game just worked.

Comment Huh? (Score -1) 169

I gave up on AMD when the Radeon 7970 and an AMD processor refused to play id Software's "Rage" faster than 3 FPS. The 7970 and an Intel processor, no problem. It didn't help that the 7970 fan died and the card cooked itself. I've been using Nvidia cards for the last five years on my AMD systems. Although an Intel/Radeon combo would work, I just don't trust AMD for video cards.
