    3M is probably the best of the best at this stuff, there is a brand I've heard of VViViD looks pretty good. It's mainly best to get a sample of piece to see the quality ad go from there.

    Everything looks good, but you may be able to get away with a cheaper psu if you go for lower wattage. Also, if you plan on doing ocing the 212 might not be the best. I've seen some people get 4.4 ghz out of it and others don't fare so well. Really comes down to the silicone lottery.

    You may get a large pressure increase from the CO2 getting released.
    Then the acid would react with the metal in the loop and over time, there would be leaks.
    The sugar would carmelize further on the blocks where it gets heated, building up layers of caramel, resulting in worse and worse temps.
    All your components would be sticky once taken out of the loop.

    calebp123 reacted to TechFan@ic in Elder Scrolls Online Livestream!!!!!!   
    I'm a massive Elder Scrolls fan, I've played Morrowind, Oblivion & Skyrim, & I loved all of them.
    I've also played an MMO or two in my day.

    Overall I'm disappointed with what was shown, there are a few things that I really disliked & somethings that I hoped would be better.
    The animations of the characters, running, standing & even attacking looked very generic & not very realistic, I'm 100% certain that it's not because this is an MMO and that they didn't "need to simplify the animations to accommodate a great number of characters on the screen", because I've played several MMOs with fantastic animations, one in particular had spectacular animations was Aion Online.

    Not having to aim precisely with the bow to hit your target doesn't annoy me too much because enemies can move really quickly and internet latency is unforgiving.

    Another thing that I thought was very generic and is almost anti Elder Scrolls was the sparkling & glowing on books that's supposed to help you locate them I believe that they should've implemented that differently, Far Cry 3 does this sort of thing very well using sounds surrounding collectible items, Skyrim used the humming noise & the fog of the nirnroot both of these approaches did not negatively affect your immersion in the game & fit the style of the game perfectly well, the sparkles on the other hand are just too generic and cartoony.

    Another similar issue I have is with the red line surrounding enemies that you lock on, it's very immersion breaking and quite unimaginatively implemented.
    Recognizing the enemy that you are locked on is definitely necessary, but the way this mechanism was implemented was very poor.

    Character models looked very generic as well, the NPC he met at the beginning was holding a book in her hand, the book wasn't a separate entity however, it was actually part of her character model, I thought we were past this sort of thing, we're already in 2013, you can easily animate objects in the hands of characters without having them be part of the character model itself.

    The voice acting wasn't very good either, far too generic for my taste, you rarely hear a British accent in any Elder Scrolls Game, yet the NPC spoke in the sort of British accent that you hear in every cheap MMORPG game you come across.

    There was no point in the whole live-stream that you'd pause and say,  yes I recognize this gameplay feature, it looks a lot like elder scrolls.
    I've actually showed some footage of this to a whole bunch of my elder scrolls fans friends that do not follow ESO news & I asked them to guess what game this was, only one out of 8 said this looks like Elder Scrolls & when I asked him why he'd guessed that, he said it was because the campus looked like the one from Skyrim which is extremely sad.
    I was seriously considering buying & playing this game, but after watching the gameplay video, I've decided this game is far too much MMO and far too less Elder Scrolls for my taste.

    Best thing MS could do for Windows 9?

    Different colours on the logo are different modes
    Classic mode
    business mode
    Entertainment mode
    Touch mode
    Options for default boot into any of those
    Classic is basically windows 7 with enhanced functions like the new file transfer and task manager and multi screen support
    Business mode is just encrypted classic mode
    Entertainment mode is like xbmc or windows media center or somethjng
    And touch mode is modern ui

    - Performance much improved in Crossfire configurations
    - software fix enabled by default
    - does not help wtih multi monitor or 4K 60p displays due to tiling technology implementation
    - Still BETA, but they did hit their “summer release” timeframe

    - Introduce theselves, ask to be let in, ask to search the house, but don’t really search thoroughly
    - another point added that apparently searches by her husband at work were also part of the criteria - TBH I don’t really see how that makes a diff
    - Looks like many of the issues were caused by multiple people in the house searching for diff things.
    - Apparently searches for “backpack bombs” were done on a work computer from a place that she got fired
    - Huge amounts of misinformation floating around this case - whats going on?
     
    Google restricts us of Fiber to Host Servers
    http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/41536-google-fiber-not-allowing-you-to-host-a-server/page-2#entry539880
    - Article from the Verge seems to blow this completely out of proportion IMO
    - I’m going to play devil’s advocate and argue that this is NOT a net neutrality thing
    - It’s obvious that this BETA service does NOT have the backbone to support a bunch of jerks
    - My ISP forbids running a server too, but they’ve turned a blind eye to the fact that I’ve hosted a website, and run a file server including nightly offsite syncs. I would expect Google to do the same.
    - The example they give is you shouldn’t be running a VoD service out of your home or something stupid like that.
     
    Samsung Cheating the Benchmarks?
    http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/41580-samsung-denies-phone-test-trick/
    - Well well well
    - Denying it makes it 100x worse imo. At least AMD and NVIDIA have outright admitted to optimizations for benchmarks in the past. Neither of them has ever gone as far as to just ramp up the clock speed of their devices for certain apps though. Unreal.
    - Claiming it’s power envelope related is kinda ridiculous. I doubt very much synthetic benches are pulling less power than actual games...
    - This will have zero impact on sales

    - This comes after the vibrating windows that play commercials

    - Based on where the future is heading, there’s no way Tom Cruise would have gotten away from the Future Crimes folks in Minority Report. Fact is once again stranger than fiction.
