I have another one for you guys, was talking to an 18/yo UK girl on xbox and we were comparing xboxes when I asked her how many GB her hard drive was.
 
I told her that if her xbox was laying flat it should be on one of the sides and if it was vertical it should be on the top (hopefully not bottom).
 
She ended up picking the xbox up with internet cables and all still attached, and tilted her xbox around until she found it. Needless to say bad things happen when you tilt a CD/DVD player. Her brand new copy of COD Black ops or mw3 or whatever it was got completely wrecked. I can't rememebr if it was cracked or just really REALLY scratched. 

What he meant was, why can't they hand this ww2 game project to treyarch or have sledgehammers and treyarch work on it since treyarch has had good experience with making ww2 games in the past

Limit 3 per customer, deal lasts until Monday 3/13.

This actually makes me feel like we don't have the worst government in the world here in the US. I would have used the phrase "full retard" in the title, but I felt that might offend someone and I don't feel like having to go back and change it. Although I'm sure one of the mods would just change it and yell at me lol.
 
So, France has decided that every single image indexed by a search engine, has to be paid royalties.
 
Wait....wat?

I feel like we ALL know where the "royalties" are going to end up, and it's definitely NOT with the content creators, or average people who just decided to post their daily adventures on Facebook or whatever the French people use (I feel like it's probably Facebook, could be wrong. If anyone from France can tell me that'd be nice.).
 
This is just.....France what are you even doing? French people, even we, in the US, as corrupt as we are, have already basically decided that indexing is fair use, because it's not publishing and it's not "reproducing", it's INDEXING, it's saying "you wanted this, well you can find all of these things, at these places".
 
This is the equivalent of a library, having to pay royalties, to place a book that they have on the shelf, in the index card catalog. It's just flat-out stupid.
 
Feel free to disagree with me. If you think these royalties will actually find their way to the little people who created them, please explain why. It'd be awesome if that actually happened, but I cannot see it happening.

If true this is just more shoddy business by Nvidia. How hard is it for a big company like them to pay their employees to develop their own code?

If I could play skate 3 60 fps my life would be fulfilled. 

I just wanna play skate 3

I own/owned the PG279Q and while it was an excellent monitor when it comes to build quality and such, the panel was less to be desired.  The QC on the monitor in terms of blb or IPS glow was horrendous.  I ended up returning the monitor and picking up two Acer XB1 monitors.  Neither have any kind of significant blb or ips glow.  It was definitely painful for me to return the Asus as my PG278Q was a great monitor and I am a big Asus fan.

Trust me DON'T DO IT. I bought a 780ti a month before maxwell launched for $637 USD, the 980 launched at $550. You'll get better performance for most likely less than you would if you bought those now. Also, unless you're pushing 4k or multiple monitors you don't exactly need two 980ti's. Just saying, I mean you probably already know that :p.

It depends on if you have multiple devices using the wifi at the same time. The devices share bandwidth. Lets just say for example you have a router that is rated at 54mbps. The quoted wireless bandwidth is the total bandwith for that the AP can provide, and is half duplex. So the AP can handle no more than, for example, 54mbps of data. It doesn't matter how that traffic is distributed, 54 clients each sending 1 mbps or 1 client sending 54mbps etc. Very few wireless networks can ever achieve their full quoted data rate. It heavily depends on signal strength, which includes things like distance from router, materials the signal has to pass through, etc.. 
 
My best advice is if you can use Ethernet to connect to your network then do, at least on your main pc, it will provide maximum speed and reliability. If you can't connect directly to your router, then maybe buy a cheap switch and connect via that. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to research this!

clearly time to jump ship from nvidia. no i cant say that with a serious face.

So sad they don't put the 780ti in those graphs anymore  

First time posting in this section, not sure if this really counts as a "Deal" but more of an announcement.

For a moment I thought "What the hell, who would spend so much money for a game just to get a bunch of useless crap they'll likely throw away anyway?"
Then I remembered the special Fallout Loot Crate I ordered and put my self in my place.

I do love me some Blue & Black! 

Your non techie stories are more so you claiming your preferences are better.
No wonder they called you a douche

The any key? Wha-Where's the any key? *smashes keypad* access granted. I hate computers...

I once had a screencap of Call of Duty Black Ops as my desktop background. (It had been my background for about 2 weeks btw) 
When one day my mom came in and told me that I need to get off the game and start doing my homework...
 
Also, one day I had SCP Containment Breach installed on my mother's computer and accidentally opened it so when she got on the computer to browse the web she kept telling me there was something about a D Class on her computer and that she thought it was a virus I needed to get off.
 
Im not really making fun of my mother but I just think she could learn a bit more about computers, she is software savvy when it comes to Microsoft Office applications but other that she doesn't have a clue.

Finally, tech news in my state!
