Well, the second highest ranked processor there (i5 2500k) costs $220 on newegg, and a 6950 is only about $240 as well I think.

Okay, didn't notice that the Toy Story one is a short, rather than Toy Story 4 with a different name. Don't mind that so much :)

For me, one of the main reasons I consider Pixar to be brilliant is their originality. Cars was the least original idea, and I liked it the least of their films. I still enjoyed it, but it didn't have the impact. Cars 2 (I haven't seen) has been pretty badly received.

Never! There's still always the chance that Amazon will have them. There will be at least 10 clear seconds in which to place your order if it does. So all you need to do is spend the next few days constantly refreshing. Perfectly reasonable and fun way to spend your time.

I do love being able to use it one handed, and pretty quickly, but the benefit lessons when my final message ends up saying something like "dont forget to out your turkish in your vag"

To be honest, I lean more toward your view of it - I would tend to use 'hardcore'/'casual' to qualify (if necessary). Gaming certainly doesn't need an extra layer of elitism added to it by trying to retain the term 'gamer' for one set group (I play a lot, and I already feel hedged out of certain communities just…

I know that you have to do that, and that's what I do. It used to work, but it just doesn't seem to pick them up most of the time anymore. Especially "here's".

I'm still having problems with my Swype getting gradually worse over time (something I believe they claimed to have improved/solved). I updated to the latest version, and things were working fine, but now it's got to the point where I end up needing to correct at least half the words in every text. It has also…

I think it's pretty hard to define to be honest, but I don't think it's that cut and dry. I play chess once in a while, but I would definitely not describe myself as a 'chess player'.

Have to say that I already wish they had stayed with the original series. The films largely did nothing for me, and I thought the final episode before was tremendous. Before the current series, there were no episodes I disliked. There were definitely some I liked more than others, but every one of them was at least…

But what do you do when the two coincide? Almost all major protests have a small group that goes off and decides to riot, even though that isn't the point of the legitimate protest and they condemn that action. The news is much more interested in reporting a sensationalist story about rioting and, as a result, a…

You're correct, that was poor wording. I meant that it goes to them in general, but there are various other costs along the way, they definitely don't get every penny.

There are lots of posts from people berating those who buy second-hand games, but I think they're generally taking a pretty narrow view of the subject.

maybe houses too. Those architects and builders are only getting paid the once for designing and building. We should all employ directly to build new places. Definitely screw all those bastards RENTING property.

Decided not to bother with the comment, because it was stupid. Then clicked submit accidentally, instead of cancel. Just to emphasise stupidity.

In response to the opening: I sometimes find Japanese 'politeness' a bit odd. Or perhaps it's just not what I would consider politeness. On the surface it can seem very polite, going out of their way to do things, making all sorts of offers of help and so on, but over time I've felt that actually it's more the…

Now you're raising other issues. Maybe they could have a better infrastructure, but for now it isn't available everywhere, so that's irrelevant to the point. My relatives could choose to rent a house further away from the people they want to visit, that also costs more, but they don't wish to, so it is a situation…

The majority of the UK might have a good internet connection, but not everywhere does. I've lived in London and Leeds and had great connections. My family has lived in North Devon and currently in the Midlands and the only thing they can get is phoneline internet which drops all the time. I've helped them search…

But, unfortunately, not everyone is in the same situation. For example, I travel around. I have really good internet at home, but sometimes I'm at hotels (which might or might not have free internet), sometimes I'm staying with my family or renting a flat for a few days. When I fully move house (which is every…

Hehe. JesusChrist is a skeptic by nature.
