  1. Frame interpolation? No thanks AMD. I turned that shit off on my TV day one.
  2. YELLOWCARD! "One For The Kids" album tour circa 2001?
  3. If you're still mining with a GPU you're doing it wrong. That time has come and gone.
  4. It's not the classified. 780ti classy is already up on their site.
  5. Whoops! Comprehension fail on my behalf. Sorry buddy
  6. +1 but Slick's is most important. We've already seen Diesel's rig rebuilt recently.
  7. This, but I have no idea how they could possibly implement it. Gamers are far too resistant to distribution platforms other than Steam, see: Origin. Gamers want all their titles on Steam. As others have already said they'd have to release their entire Halo line-up to entice gamers to use their XBOX (for PC) platform. They already have the XBOX app in Windows 8/8.1 in Metro, but they need something for desktop, considering many gamers (myself included) are not in a rush to upgrade from WIndows 7.
  8. They can do more, this time. But they probably won't because: titan. They won't. A 2/4GB card would require a 256bit bus width. 780ti has a bus width of 384 bits and same bandwidth, just like the titan. Allowing for either 3GB or 6GB of GDDR5 Ram.
  9. This really should be pinned/stickied.
  10. F$%k no. Office 2013 is a UX disaster of epic proportions. Don't believe me? http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-office_install/how-to-change-the-theme-of-office-2013/aadcf2ff-4435-48e1-bc80-c058d6299a61 http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/outlook-2013-folder-pane-reduce-space-between/c6ff2221-e98c-46f2-80be-0a8c108f8883 http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/outlook-2013-themes/31372645-f409-4794-b404-f30e85bb934a http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/ed1de1dc-1389-4980-acf2-aefc95947ac1/changing-to-a-theme-with-color-in-office-2013?forum=officeitpro http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/cb410e68-dfef-497d-8c37-ef62dc36720f/feb-2013-office-2013-nice-themes-when?forum=officeitpro Here's my favourite comment and it's spot on: The UI of the File Explorer Ribbon is perfect, and if you don't like it: collapse it. However the changes made in 8.1 to list the user folders (downloads, my documents, my pictures) was a stupid decision and there's no standard option to turn it off (unless you regedit). See below:
  11. If it's powering on, then it is posting (Power On Self Test).
  12. Sounds like a DOA GPU. You'll have to try borrow a GPU from a friend or find a way to source one. If the BIOS compatibility with IB-E was the problem then it wouldn't post at all.
  13. I don't get how your MB managed to brick your raid array? It's stored on the LSI controller and the BIOS should simply recognise the volume as a SCSI device, right? I can understand that happening with software raid on a MB, but not on hardware raid.. Weird.
  14. Oh, boy! More assumptions on your behalf. No shit, sherlock. However for all intensive purposes it failed at conveying its message as a "joke". This is proven by his now available statement on his website. You are entitled to your opinion of what constitutes a straw man and what does not, that however, does not make it true. I'd rather not. Yay! Semantics. Rudd => Gillard => Rudd. 3 changes. 2 different leaders. He's entitled to change his opinion even if he did believe Anthropogenic Climate Change to be "crap". Why is he not allowed to change his mind? I bet you loved the GetUp! ads, too, which went as far back as quoting Abbott from his University days, because we should keep everyone accountable to what they said as teenagers and in their early twenties, right? People are not allowed to change, right?
  15. Boy! Am I glad you concluded the discussion over. I was waiting for you to determine that for us. Now you know why many do not appreciate discourse with Labor voters; you deem yourself so much more intelligent and enlightened (dontbeafuckingidiot.com was an excellent example of how to preach to the choir and not to the contrary) than Liberal voters. Please, don't link me to wiki definitions of argumentative technique. It's incredibly condescending and rude to do so. The fact you are not conscious of your attitude is displayed by you linking people definition to well known argument technique. You're entitled to say and believe whatever you want. I'm simply pointing out how I interpret your beliefs which you've posted on the forum and of which the consistent theme is entitlement. As I've told you once before it is not the leader who matters. It is the party. Labor is proof of this. They changed their leader 3 times. The Liberals, as a party, do believe in climate change. Contrary to the FUD Labor supporters would have you believe.
  16. For every study you cite, another can be shown to conclude the contrary. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/business/sa-business-journal/australian-carbon-tax-failed-to-impact-on-emissions-business-survey-finds/story-e6fredel-1226669983385 http://www.aigroup.com.au/portal/binary/com.epicentric.contentmanagement.servlet.ContentDeliveryServlet/LIVE_CONTENT/Publications/Reports/2013/Carbon_price_impacts_Jan_2013.pdf http://www.aigroup.com.au/portal/binary/com.epicentric.contentmanagement.servlet.ContentDeliveryServlet/LIVE_CONTENT/Publications/Reports/2013/Carbon%2520Tax%2520report%2520FINAL.pdf Anyway, the OP is about the internet; not the efficacy of the Carbon Tax.
  17. Accusing me of straw man argumentative tactics and then claiming to not be aggressive nor making personal attacks. :lol: Too funny! Please explain which of my arguments are straw man and a detailed explanation for why each are. You do want the NBN for yourself. I'll also call you up on your comments in the piracy thread, whereby you said "I can't afford it, but I want it, so I'll have it for free". You put your interests ahead of others. That's not very "Labor" of you! :unsure:
  18. You're going to have this thread locked, again, so congratulations on your vitriolic rhetoric. Well, Gillard was our duly elected (by way of hung parliament) PM — until she was knifed by the man who she knifed — up until 3 months ago. So, yes. She is relevant and she is pertinent. So, no. They cannot be excused. Kevin Rudd is not the Labor party, he is but a face. It is the constituents of a party that matter. It is they who matter when a conscience vote is issued. They would have voted against it. This is not American politics, contrary to what the majority of young and ill-informed Australians think. I blame their attention being predominantly on The Daily Show & Colbert Report rather than actual Australian politics. Your position on FTTP is relevant because it panders only to your own desires and not those of the nation. You're in their rollout and the majority is not. Of course I oppose Anthropogenic Global Warming/Anthropogenic Climate Change (yes -- this means I acknowledge its human cause and oppose its further progression as a phenomenon). However, I do not believe a tax is the solution. Rudd is not secular. He is a hypocrite. He would have betrayed many of his constituents who follow him for his religious conviction. Again, as I've already said; a tax is not a solution. I've already read their policies prior to the election, thanks. I've also read The Greens lunatic policies on power production too (closing down our only nuclear reactor, OPAL, used for medical research and production of medical isotopes and a blanket ban on the mining of uranium and its export).
  19. How else would you describe a "conscience party vote" introduced at the very end of an election campaign, which predicted their total wipeout? I'll ask you again: why didn't Gillard, an atheist, introduce the policy? Why on Earth would an atheist oppose gay marriage; especially when her deputy (Penny Wong) is openly gay? Please, don't be so gullible and credulous. Exactly. I guess it was just "tough luck" for the large majority of us who weren't in their rollout, right? "Health challenge"? Wat. You think Rudd is secular? The man is an Anglican Christian who attends church every Sunday. Abbott is a Catholic. At least Gillard for all her faults is an atheist. She was the only 'secular' leader and yet even she opposed gay marriage. How's that for progressive and secular? Labor is pro-fossil fuels too. Do you have a solution for replacing Coal as a base-load power source as it constitutes 80-90% of energy production sources?
  20. OK, guys! History lesson time. There was a proposed filter under Howard's previous government. However it was opt-in and never mandatory. http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/howard-pitch-for-family-vote-with-internet-filter/2007/08/10/1186530542829.html The Howard government had a 189 Million dollar policy named "NetAlert". You can read more about it here: http://www.pcw.vic.edu.au/Our%20School/Parents%20Guide%20to%20Internet%20Safety.pdf It would spend monies on furthering education on internet safety; enforcing the AFP's power to crack down on CP; and provide a free downloadable filter for families to use. They trialled the downloadable software, until it was revealed a young teenager had cracked it within 15 minutes. They abandoned it. Post 2007 election -- Labor got in and pushed ahead with their mandatory ISP-level internet filter and dumped the entire NetAlert policy in its entirety. http://www.news.com.au/technology/netalert-web-filters-dumped-over-holidays/story-e6frfro0-1111118667453 The Liberal party has always favoured opt-in and spending money educating parents on how to responsibly control their children's internet usage. They fucked up and immediately admitted it. What more can you want from a political party? I hope you didn't vote for the Sex Party as their preferences were given to One Nation.
  21. Erm, Labor were cutting funding from University. Perhaps you didn't notice? The Greens were at their throats about it. They planned on diverting funding to primary and high school education instead. Rudd & the Labor party had 3 years to introduce a marriage equality policy – they didn't. Why did they leave it at the very last minute as a "conscience" party vote? It would have no chance of being passed, even on their infinitesimally small chance of regaining power; given the liberals would have stone walled any policy they tried to introduce with strength in numbers. There's also the fact a decent majority of the Labor party oppose gay marriage. Hell, even their previous atheist leader opposed it. Rudd is an Anglican, and yet he suddenly supports it? It was a pathetic last minute ploy for votes. Turnbull is towing the party line. He knows FTTH is better than FTTN. He is economically conservative but socially progressive. It's a compromise. Do you want faster internet now (within 2-3 years) or maybe faster internet in 5-7-9 years time? The true reality of the matter is: were you in the 3 year NBN rollout plan? I wasn't. That means even if Labor succeeded in this election, they would have upset a lot more electorates by the time the next election came about, and would have been annihilated even more so at the polls.
