  1. I'd like to hear what actual humans think before buying.
  2. I would be buying fur coats if I paid 10-35%. Don't really need fur coats, but I could totally buy them. If I paid somewhere in the middle, say 20%, I would only have to work a few days a week to stay afloat. We start at 48% and the highest bracket is 60- something percent.
  3. Historically scientific advances follow prolonged warfare, so whether a society is inclusive or not is not as important than whether it has a perceived sense of urgency. It need not be active warfare, take the US and the USSR space race for instance.
  4. And of course Kentucky fried chicken. not a lot of people know this.
  5. Didn't Australia use to have a blatantly racist immigration policy. If you were white you got in, that sort of thing.
  6. a small green grasshopper got sucked into one of the intake fans on my computer. It was pretty gruesome. Particularly the cleaning up.
  7. If I can stomach more than 20 mins of it it will already be an improvement. It looks like every other shooter out now, engine wise. Hopefully the augs and alternate approach philosophy will mean that it plays much better.
  8. What if you want to enable a developer console by adding a line to the shortcut target. You get a STEAM error and the game won't start. Is there a known workaround to this ?
  9. Or a single card with a dual GPU.
  10. One should make an effort not to automatically dismiss or gang up on the new guy. That's so unattractive in a forum.
  11. Paragraphs, they are so important. Anyone can use them.
  12. Where do you find the game dir of something installed with STEAM, say if you wanted to install skins, mods, etc.
  13. I went with ASUS VE276Q 27". Seemed like a good compromise. For twice what I spent could have had a Dell which was actually pretty nice. A step up in resolution, better image quality, but for the budget this will do.
  14. I suppose they could have easily overwhelmed him, if they were rushing Zerg with no consideration for their own lives and not people. Cowards indeed.
  15. This is hard. It seems reasonably easy to get burned when buying a mid to high level 27". At least the responses for this are positive. Low power consumption, LDC back-light, good picture quality http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1533...ighlight=VE276Q
  16. http://www.retrevo.com/search?q=HP+2710m&a...odelid=23658715 People are liking this for price - performance wise, but look at the power consumption. 135 Watt while running it vs, 29 Watt. That's insane.
  17. Reviews hate it, and after looking at comparisons, the only thing it has going for it is the price.
  18. http://www.edbpriser.dk/Product/Details.aspx?pid=4728486 I'm looking at one of the mid range sync masters. Very low power consumption, LED backlit, at 29 watt maximum, the lowest I have seen in any of the 27" i have browsed. 2 ms response time, which should be plenty fast. 1920 x 1080. The jump to 2560 x 1440 is quite an expensive one, so it will have to do.
  19. Buying a flat screen for a friend, the specs look pretty confusing though. I'm not entirely sure what it is that makes one model twice the price of a comparable one in terms of resolution and response time.
  20. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_Latin Yes, but given that no one actually speaks Latin in the real world, we use English phonemes, and get 'eI' for eː Yes, this is a waste of time, but now I can't stop.
  21. Not saying I could do better.
  22. looks like he painted over a render instead of figuring out what a sitting human really looks like from that angle in that kind of sofa.
  23. Deus sure as hell ain't pronounced deius by anyone able to actually speak a language that is not English. It's latin dude. Nobody really knows. Google says 'deɪ əs ɛks ˈmɑ kə nə' If anyone here remembers their phonetics course, that's what I said. Excepting that I didn't use proper symbols.
