  1. That's another thing. I'm a bit of a noise freak and the constant high pitch whine from a small fan could be a deal breaker for me. Any unconventional cooling out there ?
  2. HA! Good Fun! HA! Good Fun! Well, a bullet to the chest doesn't leave you screaming.
  3. What the hell kind of name is GL502VS-FY081T anyway. That's like the opposite of branding.
  4. They aren't selling in Europe near as I can tell. http://www.pricerunner.dk/pi/27-3402658/Baerbar/ASUS-GL502VS-FY081T-Produkt-Info Anyway this one sports a 1070 and it's cheaper. Of course they cut corners elsewhere. Only 512 gb total, 1080p display and It doesn't have the huge battery.
  5. Maybe I should go back to funny animal compilations on youtube.
  6. He never killed anyone like that. Although plenty of people were thrown in jail for having the wrong opinions. Details matter.
  7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CDkWN1-BwE I sometimes put on one of his lectures if I can't sleep. The way he drones on in an unexcited monotone about power structures. It's comforting.
  8. Do you see anyone holding onto power Cuba in that kind of extremely polarized environment without being a dictator though. Remember they have no democratic tradition.
  9. Well with an all in one like that one probably not much. Know a guy who got one. Seemed happy with it. Although I didn't see the point of the extra expense since he wasn't overclocking. The plate can be changed to fit any socket ?
  10. One wouldn't have happened without the other. I make no excuses for dictators, just saying that the colonial experience is not just Robert Mugabe's bad excuse for everything. It is also the determining factor in the development of most African countries, as you well know.
  11. They certainly helped create the circumstances.
  12. The British Empire begat Robert Mugabe and Idi Amin. In a sense Castro is your creation.
  13. Castro is a response to the US invading and propping up a dictator, Batista. It doesn't get much more imperialist than that. So yeah, there's that.
  14. My sense is that those all in one enclosed coolers aren't all that good. Water offers the best cooling performance but possibly at the cost of headaces you don't need. I'd go for beefy air cooling personally. They make more noise than many air coolers too by virtue of smaller fast reving fans being more effective for a radiator.
  15. What can you expect with dishonoured 2. Do I have to go dig my 1080 p monitor out of storage ?
  16. Denuvo protects the DRM routines so they cant be circumvented. 'Anti tamper' sure, whatever. Same difference really. It's there to make the DRM work and prevent cracks.
  17. was that beyonce. pffffft.
  18. I might bite on Dishonoured on the strenght of that. Just got a GTX 1070.
  19. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-38086933 Bwhahahahaha. Yeah.. He'll totally sort that one out.
  20. Denuvo is real time encryption algorithms. Something that prevents you from running a copy. How is that not DRM. Isn't it effectlvely the same as what an USB key dongle does. Constant verification.
  21. That would be Frederik IX of course.
  22. I give you the last king of Denmark. Christian IX. They don't make em like that anymore. There's no joke or anything but.. just look at him.
  23. Most of the EGPUu adaptors I've seen are very bulky. They need their own PSU after all. Probably not something you can just lug around. And there are DYI versions without a PSU which are just the connectors, they don't enclose the card. Probably not a long term solution, one wrong tug at the wires and you break everything. It really can't take up much more space than the GPU itself and still call itself portable. I think EGPUs are mostly meant to sit at home enabling you to plug your laptop into a bigger screen, the EGPU and the charging station.
  24. Yeah I'm starting to realise it would come to twice that at least. However, with an external GPU and options, i dunno how good they are haven't used one, for compiling with GPUs. I mean that would be the point of an external GPU, you get a middle of the road laptop and spend the money on an upgradable GPU package and just lug it around with you whenever you need it.
