Good advice all-around - thanks guys. I think I'm settled on a 3800x setup - but there is a shortage on AMD motherboards right now. Not a single x570/x470/b450 at my local Microcenter and Newegg isn't looking good either - even Amazon is cleaned out aside from a few absurdly priced ones. Plenty...

My trusty old Ivy Bridge setup is finally feeling the crunch. I figure there might be some others on this forum still rocking old setups, or recently upgraded from one, so any thoughts on all this are appreciated. Looking to jump to an new 8-core setup, mainly for gaming. I've been playing a...

Would that be a bad thing to call you?

Some people have a very difficult time internalizing their issues.

Homophobics have latent issues with their own sexuality. Why else would you care what another guy does with his dick? Because you're angry with yourself for wanting it.

I think it says a lot about what goes on in your head if you have to throw needless emotion into your code.

Apple strategically adds crumple zones to absorb the impact energy.

Say what you will about Fortnight - but its success means Epic's success. Long-term I see this giving a lot of potential to the whole unreal platform. I just hope they don't get extreme with their licensing - small teams need cheap and easy access to the top-end tools to compete with the big...

They've already been doing this indirectly - comparing location and connection data between users gets pretty close. This will just help them narrow down who is in the room with you, rather than the entire building.

There's a good chance you DO have a facebook. I don't know how social you are, but if you've even so much as appeared in someone else's photos, facebook probably maintains a ghost profile for you. If you've ever been tagged in a photo, then they have a name to the face - and its all downhill...

Sure, there's some risk here. But in the scheme of things, its going to be the text message that kills you - not the radio waves it was sent on.

This is the new trend - Node and ajax is everywhere. Yeah, its odd for javascript to be needed for something simple like a sign-in page - but for so much other functionality, there is either no way to avoid it or the alternatives are simply not practical. Its just a tool - my web apps use it...

In any case, I think it says a lot that Rockstar puts out games that people would even consider buying twice. The opening felt like the Hateful Eight.

Am I the only one that thinks these things are stupid? All the spying aside, but there is such a thing as too much laziness. You already got the smartphone with the amazon app to order your damn tide pods. One more layer of convenience for your convenience.... there's a Xzibit meme here...

The cheat software alters the online experience beyond what the game was designed for. By lawyer standards, the mechanism isn't relevant and copyright law is invoked due to how ownership over software is claimed. Its a legal mess for sure, but not a stretch to consider this as a form of "digital...
