I just built a similar system. Ryzen 2700x, 32GB 3200mhz ram, 1tb Samsung pro 970 nvme drive, vega64...all water cooled. The system SCREAMS! Intel might have a few points of single threaded performance up on my system, but I doubt anyone sitting down at my system could even tell the difference!

Newsflash for you. Freesync is already dominant in monitors...and Sansungs new Q series TVs support it too. As does the Xbox OneX. AND when HDMI 2.1 is finished, so is the proprietary and nvidia taxed Gsync. Open beats closed EVERY SINGLE TIME!

So what? There are PLENTY of Linux distros to choose from. Dont like Ubuntu? Run Debian...or Fedora...or Slackware. Still concerned? Dig into the source code, where you can VERIFY that there are no shenanigans!

That's irrelevant. If AGING DSL tech can't keep up, then ISPs need to modernize. Period.

15% of the US trade deficit with China is dur to WalMart ALONE! So yes.

Dont confuse "anti-semetic" with "anti-zionist"!

Yup, when you repartition, any "cruft", NSA provided or otherwise, gets taken care of!

There are several wifi sniffing apps you can download for your smartphone that will accomplish.

In order of popularity. Duh.

And more and more are beliving in Bernie Sanders!

Yeah, its all bullshit right? Its not like half of our country is ON FIRE eight now due to record drought...or that we have seen record high temperatures in most of yhe country...it's all a Democrat conspiracy right?

99% of scientists disagree. We DO know that climate change is real and that it is man made. Only in the US, and only in one political party is it still up for debate! Everyone else in the world has alreafy acknowledged the science as valid.

Actually, its "PRESIDENT Obama", and you may want to check the voting record of your favoritw rwpublican slimeball...its THEY who want the corporations to own the government, its the democrats who want to keep them in check. Last I checked, the government is supposed to be "By the PEOPLE, of the PEOPLE and for the PEOPLE"! I see nothing in our Constitution that says that corporations and their interests ahould be above that.

Microsoft's LEGACY business is doing well. Windows 8 is struggling, Windows Phone, Surface and Xbox are outright failures.

The biggest scam was getting the suckers to buy into this failed ecosystem in the first place!
