  1. I kinda buy the notion of a deliberate campaign to discredit Clinton. Seems like a small investment for the potential return. Just the sort of thing a polonium poisoner would get up to.
  2. Straight forward on the nose rock and roll.
  3. As far as the actual skills attained, it's largely symbolic, something that society has determined has value. Hopefully you learn good research skills along the way but the truth of the matter is that probably only the person who is going to grade you will ever read that paper you spend months agonising over. It's depends the field of course. Would you consult a 'self taught' medical doctor. I think not.
  4. Maybe to save on TPD because it's a mobile device ? Wacom got a lot of flak with the last iteration of their tablet PC because of fan noise and heat.
  5. One of the above. we are talking levels of cringe that will make your testicles reascend.
  6. Only a dual core though. Didn't know they even still made those. Still should be the business for design.
  7. After you cant see individual pixels anymore what's the point. I could on my HD screen. I can't on either my ipad or my 4k screen. The 4k video he is editing is 1/4 of the upper right corner, he would have to have his nose up against the monitor to even tell that it was 4k
  8. This year from Disney
  9. Aaaand I failed. Ordered the most expensive version. I feel guity now. And those 5-7 days can't go fast enough. • Intel® CoreTM i7 • 512GB • 16GB • NVIDIA Quadro M1000M graphics with 4GB GDDDR5 VRAM
  10. Yeah it's one of the bandit camps on the road to Margarth. So.. somewhere in the northern reaches close to Margarth. That's my final answer.
  11. Is there a bandit camp rigth nearby ?
  12. Drawing a blank. I'm going to say 'outskirts of Whiterun' or 'Somewhere between Falkreath and Margarth'. Alternatively the area south west of Riften. That's pretty unspecific, I know. I got 17/20 in a guess the Skyrim location quizz that I can't find again now.
  13. I still want one though. Damn. I can feel my restraint slipping away.
  14. 8 gb ram, 256 gb hdd a core i5 and and that chip in a wacom tablet pc. Estimated battery life in moderate to heavy load. 3 hrs. 2000 Euro. lol. I guess they know their market.
  15. Being a hopeless powergamer I googled the locations of all the stones of power and went and got them as the first action in a new area. You really need those if you are going to experiment a bit with your build. There is a respec potion available in Novograd and once you have it you can try different loadouts on Geralt.
  16. Anyone know how capable the Quadro M600M is. Supposedly that's a workstation chip suitable for CAD/design whathaveyou.
  17. The most expensive model will run me 3200 Euros. The cheapest one is 1600. If I get the cheapest one I can just about get that AND a laptop like the above. There is a lot of Goldilocks marketing going on with the Wacoms though. Like offering 64 gb drives and 8 gb ram on the higher end versions (arguably inadequate) to try and steer you towards a more expensive purchase. What you really want is the superior digitiser, not Wacom's tablet computer that it is stuck to it. (bad value, few options for upgrade etc)
  18. You will have the opposite problem soon enough.
  19. Yep, which leads to a kind of obsolescence for most of the game content after a while. You can still do it, but it's going to be too easy and the loot is going to be useless. Not unlike Borderlands 2 a lot has been ruined with levels and leveling.
  20. As far as I can tell keys redeemed from physical media still don't count. I wonder what that's for. A simple FU to the resellers who after all take a big bite out of STEAMS profit ? Anyway you can still spam the review list with positives, say leading up to a sale, even if those reviews don't count towards the total score. As long as you have a 'mixed' rather than a 'negative' that's still going to help you. 'This change doesn't impact the review score. Each game's score will continue to be calculated based only on customers that purchased the game via Steam.'
  21. So it does. Looks like the change was in november.
  22. It used to be really easy to inflate the stats and I don't think they fixed that retoactively. If you give away a couple of thousand keys with the simple message 'if you liked the game please consider writing a positive review', well that's going to get you a positive score, unless you sell millions and depend on traditional advertising or your game is so terrible that it can't garner positive word of mouth at all. For a while now in order for a review to count it has had to be a STEAM purchase, it can't be a redeemed key, which is also a bit misleading since most discerning people get the STEAM key from a reseller usually taken from a physical media that never gets used. We can thank regional pricing and the odd privileges still afforded to brick and mortar stores for that, but that's another matter. They really need for review and campaign giveaway keys to be unique and recognisable in the review system.
  23. Theres is too much crap now on steam. It makes me more suspicious of small games and less likely to buy anything not from a large publisher. A shame really. Almost 40% of steam's entire inventory of games were released in 2016. It's really great for small developers and really unfortunate for those same small developers that there is no filter for quality. Almost 6000 games on steam altogether if memory serves. Who would take a chance on anything with so many turds among them
  24. That's a javelin, not a spear. http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2016/05/12/Russian-medieval-reenactor-takes-out-drone-with-spear-throw/5671463073455
  25. So I'm considering getting one of these ridiculous things instead. http://www.wacom.com/en-sg/products/pen-computers/wacom-mobilestudio-pro It's a ****load of money. Really want it though. Can't say I feel the same about owning any laptop nomatter how powerful it is.
