    The liberals $43 billion train to no where...

    I can't wait, my business will literally use this train thousands of times a year, and my god will it be better than dealing with TSA at the airports.

    IRS Scandal explodes. "no evidence that would support a criminal prosecution."

    They are, if they donate to political groups registered incorrectly as non-political (and therefore tax-exempt.) It's not all about you, or your "team", just fyi.

    Arizona County Lists Wrong Election Date on Spanish-Language Voter Documents

    Devil's Advocate: Last year the election day was the 8th. The form wasn't properly edited, or the wrong draft was printed. Simple clerical error.

    The Bounce: Obama's Gallup approval jumps nearly 10% in one week

    That's what happens when one party's speeches have 0 facts, and the other is actually correct....even if it does take a former impeached president to do it. God we need more parties. Fast. This system sucks for actual normal citizens.

    [MMO] World of Tanks

    It's a notification error in english only. It's either track damage that is not enough to completely track, or penetrates the first plate of a spaced armor (but not the second). The game works right, it's just saying something a bit misleading.

    What is the purpose of the metal platter-cover all modern hard disks seem to have?

    My guess would be to minimize internal air movement, as there is more open space in a 3.5" drive. Small eddies would affect modern drives more than older ones, as the density has gone way up. That said, it's just a guess.

    Sword of the Stars II

    It is light-years better, and still in very active development. Is it 100% yet? Nope. Is it going to be? Yeah, I really do think so.

    Ubisoft and EA. If you buy you forfeit right to complain, because it's not like it's a surprise at this point.

    How long do video cards last under load?

    Frankly, the on/off cycle is much more stressful on electronics than leaving it on 24/7. Might last a while yet.

    Correct. You can skip multiple tiers if you have enough free xp.

    [MMO] World of Tanks

    Personally, I think they just need to make the garage stats reflect the actual state of the tank. Not that hard.

    [MMO] World of Tanks

    This is a common misconception. The rammer, 100% crew, vents (if available for the vehicle), and the 10% consumable like chocolate are all required to REACH the stated number. If you don't have them, you are well short of it in reality.

    When you die, either rightclick to switch between live teammates to watch, or just hit escape -> Exit Battle to play a different tank in the meantime.

    Need Some help with finding the right 3D monitor for me.

    1) No issues at all unless I play in 3d for 5+ hours straight, then a bit of eye strain beyond what I would get without it. 2) In some games easily. Metro2033 for example is just amazing. In some not so much, so it depends on what you play. 3) They fit me fine, but this will be more of a...

    Will I be able to run Skyrim? Lend me your knowledge! heh

    The video card is the only thing you'd conceivably need to upgrade to run it at good detail at that resolution.
