Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I stopped buying and building pc stuff when ram suddenly went up from $40-50 for 2x2gb to over $100 for the same thing. The icing on the cake is how old stuff from 2008 is still priced similarly to market prices then. I've been bitter and resentful since. Took up a new hobby. :)
IMO, we gain more from their labor and logistics than if we were to move everything to another country. Try getting Dell, Sony etc to stop using China and then we can start somewhere. The Chinese are simply not interested in keeping the same laws as us because its usually not in their own...
Next there will be a full search before you go into the restroom and cameras to monitor and make sure that you're not doing anything illegal in there. Taking a shit? Too bad - you're going to jail for bioterrorism.
I had 2 and sold them. It didn't do anything for me except load windows faster which is pretty pointless unless you like to sit and stare at such. Games were still plagued by network latency and I rarely need to reboot my system. It would be nice in a laptop for the speed/heat/power savings and...
Those of you that are insinuating that the granny shouldn't be accountable for this problem, whats to stop someone from using such an excuse to actually commit crimes? I set up a wireless network and use a secondary pc in my car or garage to do all sorts of crazy shit and blame it on some...
I'm assuming its because credit companies and banks have ebay, amazon etc by the balls. It's tough to do any kind of business where you offer a good price because one chargeback or bump will kill the profit you made from several sales unless you deal with trinkets.
Most of the truly smart geeks I know hate the social and political structures of traditional corporations. Salary takes a back step to their passion. The companies these days have no loyalty and very little is based on meritocracy but instead, rewards tend to go to the loudest retard or those...
If you do audiofool company math, taking a 500 dollar player and adding some minor changes and selling it for 3500 isn't that much of a markup/ripoff anyway.
If I can use it to browse, play hd movies and music then I would gladly welcome another competitor into 'any' market. I use the power of a nice amd or intel computer maybe 10% of the time. The other 90% of the time, a netbook or pda would work well for the intended tasks.
