  1. I wouldn't consider an unarmed drone to be military intervention, but I suppose that distinction would have to be made by someone with a star on his jacket.
  2. According to the Budapest Memorandum signed by Russia, the US, and the UK, they have an obligation to be there and protect the country of Ukraine. Like it or not, it's true.
  3. There's very little chance that the Supreme Court will find this constitutional. Opinions aside, it's clearly stated in the constitution that they can't do that. Heck, even the reasons behind that amendment are based on governments picking and choosing what can go into the news, by law. (Note: The news media may not cover the less exciting, more important things, but there are always journalists that don't suck)
  4. I completely agree. I'm sure there will be a more in-depth report on the subject soon, but you take what you can get.
  5. According to a report made by Ivan Schuller of the University of California, San Diego, "A highly sensitive magnetic material that could transform computer hard drives and energy storage devices has been discovered." The new material's magnetism can be adjusted via voltage, without applying a magnetic field. This is the only material known to man in which this is possible. Source: http://bbc.com/news/science-environment-26435809 ----- Professor Shuller’s material operates within a narrow range of temperatures. When the oxide is cool, it operates as insulator. When it’s hot, it works as a metal. At a sweet spot of about 20 degrees Kelvin above room temperature, the material becomes a strange new substance that can create a five-fold change in coercivity, or “magnetic resistance“. While exact applications for the material are yet unknown, Schuller and his colleagues predict it could be useful in data storage and electricity networks. Anything from computer hard drives to electrical transformers could benefit from the technology, which stands to make devices more efficient, powerful, and easier to manipulate.

  6. Unfortunately, the TITAN BLACK, much like the TITAN is extremely uninteresting for most of us. While I could see the benefit of it for someone that enjoys video editing, or someone with some serious impulse control issues, there is no logical reason for a strict gamer to buy it. I'll be holding onto my ASUS GTX 780Tis until something comes along that completely destroys them performance-wise.
