The ups guy on my route is currently driving a rental truck budget i think.... has for the past week, they are inundated with packages atm- and have to make more deliveries than they had trucks- my local area, the guy says they rented ~20 of the trucks for the holiday season to meet demand
rofl.
first off- the think tank is a bunch of idiots but they are paid for the doomsday stuff
second- we produce MORE foodstuffs now than we did 50 years ago- look it up, per acre we grow more food- in part by better farming practices, in part by better seed, in part by...more carbon...
the rational? while i do not agree with it, but it is simple:
money. charging a tax- now is it 9% a month? 9% a movie? a show? what if you do not use the service for a month, do you still get that ~dollar tax on your bill? you did not USE the service, thus TECHNICALLY you shouldn't have to...
i'm thinking of upgrading my wife's and my video cards. ...depending on where the price ultimately is for the nano.
lets see the 290x is 275 watts correct?
the nano is ~175 watts
if the nano is 2x per watt performance vs the 290 then the nano should perform as a 350watt 290.... 275 is...
how many zombies are going to walk 50 miles? probably none, the issue would be the infected PRIOR to being turned.
places like boston nyc etc. pretty much doomed too many ways in and out
more rural areas though, esp in the mountains would/should be able to enact quarantine protocols at most of...
Put out good movies we want to WATCH AT THE THEATRE and we'll go, it is that simple-nothing so far this summer- to me- has had that I MUST GO SEE THIS MOVIE vibe.
there has not been Many "must see" movies out so far this year for me and my family- so we have not gone.
the next - for me at...
Besides removing the gold for hulu/netflix they are moving more towards a plus style with free games for gold
AND
just ANNOUNCED PRICE CUT--sorta-

if so, what would stop me from loading say
mxvideo player

it does have Plex on it so..maybe

i'd be ok with during the movie is not coming on for 15 minutes "reel" before the show when everyone is getting seats.

I'm A Civil Engineer by trade- mostly land survey but do a lot of residential city work.

i'm sticking with 10.2.1 atm, i don't pay attn to that much, it works for everything i want on a media tablet, though a few sites don't work...correctly on my browser due to my insisting on having an ad-blocker active pretty much 100% of the time.

i have a nook- first edition with the touch pad on the bottom, a nook tablet and a nook hd+
initially the tablet and hd+'s problems were not hardware related, the hardware is great- for what they are- it was their marketplace- which sucked. no google play, now that they come with that, they are...
YOU OBVIOUSLY do not turn your Wii-U on more than once every 3 months.
my Wii-U is played AT LEAST 5 times a week, its always connected and it has had - 3? updates in a year.
it has great games, hell my kids got 3ds's for xmas and monster hunter 3 for that- so now we all play together on...
i can understand them pulling it from the store but removing it from the library is - to me- a no-no
the problem is, always online drm that came with the game- square shut off the server= you literally cannot play the game since it requires the server to be there to "check in"
which...
all the same even with the DLC, shouldn't be more than 30-40 bucks
i bought it on steam the other day, have played ~7ish hrs (i am at the helicopter crash) good game, though honestly, i'd like less combat and more exploration and puzzles. tomb raider is about puzzles and exploration, not mowing...
the biggest problem with the Wii-U is two fold well 3 fold but we all know the 3rd one.
biggest problem is the bloody NAME..Wii-U was AWFUL. Wii2, Super Wii, or a completely different name would have been better.
2nd biggest problem is lack of -steady-game releases.
the wiiu had a ~6 month...
i'll be upgrading to a mechanical next time i buy a keyboard.

What i meant for the numbers
ps4 released in US and Canada only- sold a million units
week later- Xbox 1 released worldwide- well 13ish markets- sold a million units
week later ps4 releases world wide- except japan i believe- sold a 1.1 million units.
same week black friday- xbox 1 sells more...
pretty much, however, "initial release day" totals
ps4 ~2.1 million units
xbone 1 million units
the xbox 1 did a world wide release, the ps4 did staggered.
but the problem is while black friday more xbox 1's might have been sold, the ps4 sold twice as many overall in the month of november...
the wiiu has this "layout" already. so does my android tablet.
personally, i am indifferent about it.
it works but i'd rather have the older style, it gave more choices, faster.
still doesn't have my favority show on it, but i have PtP networking for that muhahaha (though i need a new hard...
Titanfall to remain xbox/pc "for life.

if you pay attention for the past say 16 years.
the temps- as they figure the "global average" (whatever that is) per all 3 major temperature "charts"

does this mean that...
The thing with the Bone is.
despite them touting it as a console, it isn't
it is a MEDIA COMPUTER that plays games,
tell me one thing- ONE THING- that a computer cannot do (not including kinect) that the One does currently?
the one cannot play games without installing it,
a...
but it isn't insignificant.
its a killer to me, my kids trade games with his friends all the time.
my neighbor use redbox for game rentals
etc.
to you it may be insignificant, to me it is a loss of consumer rights that further erodes what we can and cannot do with things we bought...
with the draconian style DRM the One Seems to be doing, no way in hell i am getting this.
if anyone doesn't know, basically the One is a purpose built media computer that plays games, Not a games console.
summary:
mandatory installs of games
mandatory 24hr check in online or no playing...

Always on requirement to play imo is a bad idea. what happens if you lose the internet for a few hrs ...you cannot play any games on the system.
REALLLY bad idea, in my opinion.
serial numbers loaded during first install then "registering" said number to your account - ONCE- then being able to...
how they implement the always on thing will be important.
easiest fix for the always Kinect is...Duct Tape the Cameras/have it face the wall.
Personally i am not buying the Nextbox OR ps4- we do have the WiiU (awful name imo but hey i don't set the names) if not for the lack of ALOT of...
My idea, is, a glove, motion sensors recognize all movements relative to a "central sensor" around the palm, and fingerstips(sensors on the back. have it programmed for sign language recognition as well as having it programmable for gestures for words.. you enter "learning mode" and enter the...
two words about microtransactions in games.
No Thanks.
IF the game is good i will buy it. however the second i have to buy an item/content to finish the game, is the day i stop buying games.
