Success. Windows boots up in the blink of an eye.

Installed what I have. Thermal paste came out like diarrhea and did not at all resemble the perfect sphere in the instructions. Why can't they make a dispenser that gives you the exact amount you need. used the silent CPU fan cable extensions and set the fans to silent mode in the BIOS. Temps stabilised at 28 degrees. Pretty impressive for air I'd say. The m.2 is not detected in windows, hoping a bios update will fix that.

Hiding money to conceal ownership isn't illegal. Besides, you can't assume they are all tax evaders, even though they probably are. The papers would be exposing themselves to libel from hundreds of habitual and recreational plaintiffs.

Sooo... what GPU to get. So far I've ordered : Asus z97 pro gamer. It was reduced price and I was able to confirm that there were no clearance issues with the ginormous CPU cooler. It also had a nicer audio chip than the cheaper offerings. Nocturna ND 15 cpu cooler. Not strictly necessary, but reducing peak noise from the CPU cooler was attractive. So was the price .Max fan RPM mode comes in at under 30 db. if you believe their stats. Samsung 950 Pro 512 gb m.2. I consider this a future investment. Two aging non SSDs make up my bulk storage. So, do I get a mid range card like an r9 390 or a GTX 970 or I just get whatever and save as much money as I can while I wait for a suitable GPU offering.

Story is breaking big across Europe and the papers are loving it. All despite the secret Bilderberg/Illiuminati meetings with all the western CEOs and political leaders it seems. One thing about big scoops. When they get big enough they generally trump the editorial line and whatever proprietorial influence applies. Anyway, seems like the tax hideout was something favored by rich individuals rather than multinationals, who are probably much too smart to ever be caught out like this. Though not for any pressing ethical considerations I'm sure.

They got it from a German newspaper, and believe me there is nothing they would like more than to expose the dirty secrets of western corporations. If this had been leaked to a Russian newspaper, do you really think any of them would have remained un-arrested for very long. 2,6 terabytes worth of files if I recall. You need a small army of reporters.

What does Messi need with all that money. What's he building in his underground lair.

I suppose if Batman had died they would have had to pay Frank Miller something.

Bat V S You gotta have Superman, sure, but less is better. Seems like the entire movie is that two minute plug for another movie at the end of a Marvel movie. The scene where DC rolls out their portfolio of 'meta humans' read 'not mutants' is just laughable. Aquaman ??? lols. What the hell is Aquaman doing in a Batman movie. 5 seconds was too much. There is PLENTY to do if you are trying to make a convincing confrontation between Batman and Superman and they cut corners making it less believable just so they could spend time plugging Justice League. You don't need a contrived reason for Superman to fight Batman, you DO need to make the audience believe the contest of wills between the two. They made too much of Batman branding people like a kid with a magnifying glass. Batman is not vengeful or a sadist, he uses fear to get inside their heads. That theatrical aspect of Batman where he becomes more powerful because you believe in the spectacle he creates is absolutely essential to who he is.

Yeah, I'll go along with that.

Who is supposed to be Superman in Kill Bill.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/a-rare-interview-frank-miller-871654 I think it's going to be a great time to be a cartoonist. You can't come up with a greater buffoon than Donald Trump. The fact that he thinks he can be president of the United States is one the best jokes I've read in a long time. At least I hope.

Grew up in a comic book shop more or less. Haven't kept up though. It's an expensive habit.

Whatever happened to Bill Pulman, is he retired or something. Dr Strange could be good. Fingers crossed. That track remind you of this or is it just me.

I never cared about the Marvel - DC rivalry. Mostly because I considered superhero stuff less interesting than fantasy/graphic novel stuff. Notable exceptions aside of course. Generally I would pick the best of either and never notice whether it was published by DC or Marvel.

Well. Young people tend to be idealistic and left leaning. Old people become conservative and jaded once they realise they aren't going to change anything. Just how the world works not attempting political commentary here. Everyone wants the 18-25 demographic, but overtly political storylines are just boring. I don't think attacking the establishment even counts as political. It's just one of the features of the establishment, being under constant critique from the arts. Comic books can take more risks than movies and when they do it sometimes pays off in grand style. V for Vendetta, The Watchmen. Even though Moore is probably at bit past it now those were seminal works and back when they came out everyone I knew had read them. Our parents had their Dylan albums, we had our graphic novels.

ahh

I need m.2 support and TRIM I suppose. It's a bit hit and miss with these boards, some list TRIM support for SSDs others, even expensive ones, don't. Why isn't this standard. Does The EVO 950 Samsung PRO m.2 SSD go hand in hand with a TRIM support board or is there something else that can perform that function ?.

That does look pretty sweet. Maybe coupled with a wall mount.

So my GFX is dead too. Just before I decided to clean it out it the fans had been whining at max speed for a protracted period. I think I might have killed it by manually setting the fan speed lower. It would kick up to maximum anyway when playing games having reached the temp threshold but this repeated experience probably killed it off, especially considering that there was a solid block of dust covering 1/3 of one fan. Soo.. what to get as a placeholder. I'm getting that 40' 4k display. Given that I will be likely replacing another GFX in a year or so when the price of the new cards have stabilized I have been pondering what I can buy now that I will still be able to use in a future build. One thought is SLI/ Crossfire configurations with different cards. No guarantees but maybe there will be backwards compatibility with the new cards. Another is a fanless GFX, that would still be a nice thing to have in the drawer if I want to experiment with an ultra quiet build in future. Drawback here of course is that all fanless GFX offerings are pretty weak.

Scary truth is stopping something like this means you got lucky.

I seriously considered the surface because of the pen function. Not quite as able as a wacom though. Hybrid tablet/laptops and especially powerful ones are still selling while traditional tablets are not. My mom wants something to write and surf on as well and for some reason finding out what falls to me. Wondering if there is anything without some windows OEM installation included in the price. at the lower end of the spectrum that would be an obvious thing to try and cut out.
