    Ordered the Xperia X Compact.

    I'm on a z5 compact and before that had a z1 compact. I love the size as I commute a lot on the subway where it's mostly standing room only and it's so much easier to use the phone with one hand. I prefer the size for pocketability, too. I hate having something big in my front pocket. Love the...

    I bought my 3930K in June of 2012! Holy crap!

    I'm still rocking a 3570k from 2012 and probably won't upgrade it for a few years yet.

    I think China is really going to do it...

    My reply was to the person who said that US intervention would lead to a "catastrophic conflict". There will be no wars, and not just because of nukes, but because China can't, nor will they be able to for the foreseeable future. That's a major misunderstanding of a lot of people; that China is...

    Swimmers covered up act of vandalism

    This is all still unraveling and I'm sure more details willl be unearthed later. With that said, how do you come to the decision to make up a robbery-at-gunpoint? That's what the consensus seems to be so far, that they fabricated the story. But why? It doesn't make any sense. What exactly were...

    This is a great feature. Even something as simple as bolding the username.

    Geforce GTX 1050 / 1050 Ti Thread

    Can anybody speculate as to how this may translate to a laptop part? Since it's probably unlikely we'll get the 1060 in ultrabooks (I'm guessing 14"+ like the razor blade), then this 1050 could be a discrete gpu in a 12~13 slim ultrabook, which is very attractive for light gaming on the go. At...

    I think China is really going to do it...

    lol there is not going to be any catastrophic conflict with China. Nobody is going to war. First of all, China literally cannot go to war against any seasoned force, such as the US or Japan's. For now, China's aggressive capabilities top out at bullying third-world nations. They do not have the...

    XenForo - Admin Login As Different User

    Yup. As a forum owner, it's easy to do either with back-end only modifications, or just reading the database straight up. I only ever had to do it once to mediate a dispute that had gotten really nasty over PM. I had no evidence that the person was being hateful, mysoginistic, and racist toward...

    NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 10-Series (Mobile Pascal)

    The gaming on the go sweet-spot is probably going to be the GTX 1060 paired with a 1080p screen in a 13/14 inch slim body, ala the new Razor Blade. At 1080p, the x60 packs more than enough punch that you're not making too many sacrifices on graphics settings, and it allows you to still get a...

    Kevin Smith calls out cyberbullies for attacking his 17-year-old daughter

    1) I never suggested it was only because of her name that she catches hell. 2) Uh, there is a difference between a fictional character that has been sexualised during the course of her characterisation, and one where being sexualised *is* her characterisation. Honestly, I'm surprised people...

    Kevin Smith calls out cyberbullies for attacking his 17-year-old daughter

    How convenient that you don't have to explain yourself. It's a good strategy, thanks. The crazy thing is I can't tell what you're disagreeing with. That Kevin Smith named his daughter after a comic book character, or that doing so is not in the slightest bit problematic. But whichever side you...

    Kevin Smith calls out cyberbullies for attacking his 17-year-old daughter

    lol why don't you state your stance instead of flinging dung. Do you think it's not a little bit messed up that Kevin Smith, noted mega-nerd and possible aspie and definite autist, named his daughter after an overly sexualised comic book character frequently depicted as being in an abusive...

    Kevin Smith calls out cyberbullies for attacking his 17-year-old daughter

    I feel sorry for his daughter, as apparently Kevin Smith is such a sperg that he named her after a freaking comic book character. Considering how sexualised Harley Quinn often is, it's all kinds of creepy.

    I think China is really going to do it...

    You ignore the fact that the middle class is booming in China, the population is aging severely, and that the costs of labor are already starting to go up and will only continue to. One day, there will be a cheaper alternative, and everybody will go there, and China will not be internally...
