  1. 5'7" last I checked. Hoped I could be taller, similar to my grandad, but it seems not as I'm 18 and haven't grown in nearly a year.

    I don't believe that Star Citizen will ever rel…

    The thing is, they're getting so much money from crowd-funding that if they fail to release a suitable game, which at the minute I doubt they will, then people will call for their heads as they haven't gotten what they were promised. Therefore, they need to keep it in alpha/pre alpha stages until they feel they have something that will stomp the floor with elite: dangerous and no mans sky
  3. Sony Xperia Z3 and very happy indeed. Upgraded from a HTC 8S and also on EE4G for the same price.
  4. Well this is good, but my data cap is going to come around so much sooner now if I'm not careful.

  6. Strange, but I can see the sense in it. Moving to a smaller node faster is a good idea instead of having a stopgap at 20nm which would likely end up being a few years. If AMD had done stuff at 20nm, then it still wouldn't be good enough, so straight to 14nm is a more sensible choice.
  7. No, the dark knight trilogy is based in an entirely different universe without superpowers to the rest of the new DC universe, which has the flash and green arrow in the same universe.
  8. GTX 770, looking to get a non x fury in the future though.
  9. The reference nvidia cooler is quiet, until you put it under high load. Then it's pretty loud depending on the case of course. Temps are average, not that great compared to an open cooler but still decent, I tend to get around 79C to 80C on my 770 when playing just cause 2. When just browsing etc. the cooler is still audible, but is fairly quiet (I've tested it with the rest of my rig being passively cooled). If you are using a case with tight airflow, go for it, but otherwise unless you can't live without the aesthetics then go for something with a better cooler.
  10. The closest I can think of is a high up district judge. However you need to work as a lawyer for a minimum of 10 year before, and there's no guarantee you'll get through the process, if there are any positions available at all. Let's just say I have a rather rich relative who has more holidays than someone who works term time and they're a district judge with a few extra side titles. 100 days of work a year, where you basically sit in a chair, listen to evidence being called out, statements and then decide on someones future, then do a summary write up afterwards.
  11. Finally, a bit of sense being shown here by the government. Don't send full troops in, make ISIS scared shitless by using the SAS. They're the elite, some of the best soldiers on the planet, so when they're given carte Blanche really they've still got orders and many restraints. Bear in mind these are the forces who abseiled into the Iranian embassy in London and took out a group of terrorists rescuing 19 of the 20 remaining hostages in broad daylight.
  12. I hate the idea of prime day on amazon. Just because I don't have prime doesn't mean I don't buy a shit ton from there. I do hope there's at least some deals for those of us who can't afford prime

      I agree. I don't want Prime and nor can I afford it. I don't see why I should be punished.

  13. When I insult someone, I aim to be sneaky about it, and to confuse them. For example: - you are the living definition of a floccinaucinihilipilification.
  14. This contest is now over, the custard creams have arrived.
  15. YAY! Hamertime: To add my tuppence to the debate. No, I do not believe in religion, however I was raised as a Protestant of the Church of England, have been to a CofE school for primary school and have been at a Jewish high school for the last 7 years. I've learnt a lot about different variations of religion, and personally I believe religion has been good in the past to allow people control of the uneducated, unwashed masses. It also gives people something to look for in life, a sense of hope perhaps. Religion has a waning place in society, personally I believe it is holding us back as a species but it is still relevant for the time being. I am an atheist and always will be, however my family is religious so I feel sympathetic to those who are religious, I understand why people might want to be and I accept that it is just the way of life. p.s. If there is one religion I would ever think of following it would be Sikhism, due to the fact it does so much to help those who are unprivileged and the attitudes of those Sikhs I have met in the past.
  16. As @Johners said, it would be impossible both due to the size of them both and the monopoly laws in place. If one were to buy the other, one example of a clear monopoly would be the search engine area, so either bing (god save us all) or google would have such a large measured majority that they would be required to split up into smaller companies again. However, ignoring monopolies I reckon MS would buy google, even though google are probably larger.
  17. There are some graffiti artists out there who just have a great sense of humour, and there are some who are outstanding artists. This guy has great humour and turned the council into artists.
  18. Basically this is happening http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-33379571 TBH I don't use reddit, but I do think the admins need to be more communicative with the mods and the rest of the users.
  19. Considering I got mine for cheaper than a 960 the other month, I'm actually quite pleased with it for a "short term" graphics card. It has pretty good performance and OCs decently, and although I haven't ran out of VRAM yet, my usage is quite high. If you can get a 770 for around or less than a 960 then it's a steal if you ask me, but more than a 960 and it becomes worthless.
  20. I've never really heard of finalmouse much before besides the odd comment here and there, and although I'm very happy with my G600 I'd quite like the opportunity to try out other mice.
  21. Considering I've never played the arkham games, I probably shouldn't bother with this until I've played the others, but C'est la vie. Count me in
  22. Don't have a girlfriend, but the girl I'm interested in is an apple fangirl.

    Huge thunderstorm today just ended. It went fro…

    Haven't had one yet, but it's been trying to rain on and of all day and it looks like there's going to be a thunderstorm this evening.
  24. They didn't blow up the houses of parliament, they just fell down due to lack of repair. Also, I never saw olympus has fallen but I may need to see it now as this looks quite good.
  25. Oh I know that, I just don't have the need for prime instant video. It's a waste of money if you ask me, I'd much rather plan and be patient.
