I think it's called a ransom. EA: "If you don't buy Anthem, we're killing DA and ME!" Well, not that I honestly care about the next iterations of DA or ME...

[Shower Thought] RTX 20xx series is intentionally gimped/bad so that they can clear the glut of 1080 series stuck in the warehouse? [/Shower Thought]

*crying in X58*

Yes yes, stay away from my eroge.

While I wait for AMD to get Ryzen optimised and Intel to work on their new platform, I just ordered a X5660 off ebay to upgrade my ancient i7 950!

Seeing that a couple of us have BlackBerries... how is that 0.0%? (maybe "< 0.01" instead? like in stats) :banghead: And I'm waiting for new Mercury because I love PKB phones.

And nothing of value has been lost

My body is ready... Kidney for sale.

Yes. A new weapon in the Pokemon Go thing. And yes, get off my lawn. ;)

Yes, they have stopped updating the original Power Grid. But they are working on this instead http://future-ready.roccat.org/. They call it the Roccat Swarm. I'm pretty excited for the new interface though :)

How about a cheapie tablet plus Roccat's Power Grid? http://power-grid.roccat.org/en/Home/ While I use this combo for playing Elite Dangerous, the Power Grid does have a tab that shows system usage and other useful tabs.

For the focal zoom section of the lense, I use a larger ziploc bag to allow some free play. My experience is that the more varied the zoom ranges (for a general purpose zoom lense), you will need a larger bag give allowance for adjusting focal lengths - you need to experiment with that. A...

Have had some experience in photography in less than ideal environments... I do heartily recommend ziploc bags and gaffe tape (lots of them). Besides using gaffe tape to seal up the camera and lenses against dust or water (not entirely water proof), gaffe tape is rather effective in downplaying...

I'm using a T440s with specifications that are a little different from what I see on US markets. T440S 20ARA00QSG i7 4600U 8GB RAM 256GB SSD (apparently an OEM version of the Samsung 840 Pro - MZ7TD256HFAV) GT730M 1GB HD non-touch 1600 x 900 res (I assume it's a TN panel) w Win 7 Pro 64-bit I...

^ That escalated quickly.

Different folks different strokes. I think it's really interesting to read about the differences between camera brands and technologies (advantages and disadvantages). Ultimately each of us have a different rationale in our choice of cameras. By the way... Fujifilm4lyfe! :D

While Metabones is "supposedly" working on a Canon-X Speed booster adaptor, some Fuji/Canon users are using Kipon adapters. http://fujixfiles.blogspot.sg/2012/07/fuji-x-pro-1-and-canon-ef-lenses.html You lose the AF and IS, but supposedly makes you readjust your thinking by forcing you to go...

And stupid cheap as well. I have never encountered such quality and small lenses at bargain prices. I sold my huge camera bag and shrunk it down to a very small one now. I'm no fan of huge knockers in white/red trim or black/gold trim.. unless they wobble in the most excellent fleshy way.

Thanks IdiotInCharge :) X-Trans makes me lazy with post-processing. Shoot and print is my motto.. more so when I do it professionally for art gallery projects and faced with tight deadlines. I absolutely refuse to post-process unless it's about cropping or resizing for 300dpi prints...

I don't understand the bit about "stabilized macro lens". 1. Mirror slap has always confounded me when I photographed micro organisms... my X-Pro1 seems to have alleviated that issue. 2. Any vibrations are reduced with weights on tripod or having a macro-focused rail/tripod system. 3. Remote...

Being using Fuji's X-Pro1 since it was released. It's a lovely piece of kit - it suits my professional work (art reproduction for publishing processes) and interests (flowers). Prior to the X-Pro1, I was on a Nikon D200, Fuji S3 Pro and S5 Pro with a bunch of prime Nikkor lenses. Fuji X-Pro1...

I'm keeping his image on for at least a month. :D

Funny. I drove by this place once and I wondered whether it was abandoned.

Running on Win 7 64-bit... You have to run Homeworld (and Cataclysm) in compatibility mode set at Win NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5) and Default OpenGL mode. No special settings for Homeworld 2. Just install and be merry!

Stopped playing for a year, but I remembered blasting through security missions the lazy way. Drake! Fly in a straight line, poop missiles and keep the shields up. Easy as pie.

I'm sold when the consumer version is released. Reason: Chris Roberts' Star Citizen + Oculus

That sounds promising, Skripka. I will look into that as well as I am looking for a city simulator that is a little more modern. A SC4 modder recently released a launcher (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/28544-sc4-launcher/). I don't have Eyefinity, so I am not sure whether it...

I can help with that... You can get the latest NAM package (for Windows) here: http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/26793-network-addon-mod-for-windows-installer/ The biggest update for this package is the draggable fractional angel road system the NAM developers came up with ->...

Looks like I'll be holding onto Simcity 4 for a long time :) A little help from simtropolis.com + some NAM = Simcity 4 is a little more lovable then the new Simcity. Hey, it helps when Simcity 4 is still available on Steam :D

PM'd you :)

Oops..

You can try a third-party bellows and just use your 50mm f/1.8 instead - http://amzn.com/B003EDYDVM. It will give you 1:1 and more :) Based on a guide for a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 on a Nikon PB-6 bellows... Ratio 1:1 @ 52mm extension of bellows @ 54.3mm working distance Ratio 2:1 @ 103mm extension...

And why are u playing computer games while driving? :confused:

Funny, I just picked up the i3 2100 with a Asus P8H67-M for my HTPC. Awesome combo and affordable as well :)

Still a POS, in my opinion. I'm glad I moved on.

[OFF TOPIC] Many years ago, it seemed like a popular thing to aspire to owning a green card or even a US citizenship. I don't know about now. To be honest, I kind of like the "freedom" I get in Singapore, instead of being forced to drop my pants at the airport all the time. To clarify my...

I still think he could have picked a nicer country to go to. Hint: I'm a Singapore citizen.

Awesome fun :) Needed hints on some of those though. :D

Hmm... why should the review include the 7970? Price point-wise, the review did a stellar job of comparing those that are relevant. Performance-wise, I could switch to the 7970 reviews and compare the data sets. Sure, the video drivers may be a little dated, but it gives me an indication how...
