If you don't use facebook its best to block it entirely. All those like buttons on web pages everywhere slow down browsers since they all phone home, and a poorly coded website will stall entirely waiting for a response from facebook. I've noticed a few times in firefox that while a page is trying to load its stalling while accessing some facebook server.
Yay adblock. Or blocking via the hosts file works well too. For reference these are the additions to add to the hosts file.

| Honestly I think Sega escaping Microsofts clutches is a good thing if you look at it from a PC perspective. At least Sega still releases or publishes PC games. You'd be hard pressed to avoid getting spittle on your face when you ask a Microsoft rep about PC gaming. |

Was that the dismemberment code? That one was a blast...
g_saberrealisticcombat 5 I think? Something along those lines.
Yeah that sounds like it. I think the most fun I had with that was fighting the lightsaber enemies. If I recall the code made ALL lightsabers behave realistically (for a fictional weapon I mean) so even the enemies could cut you to bits. It was sorta like Bushido Blade on the PSX.
Damnit I alway do this, I reminiscence about part of a game and have the urge to install it again. |

| The best representation of a lightsaber I ever saw in a game was Jedi Outcast with realistic saber combat turned on. Made the game too easy but damn that was fun. It slices, it dices, it cooks at the same time! |

Ooh, sounds powerful. I needed a new card,
"Pricing is said to be $899 with availability starting at the end of February."
I don't need a card THAT much. |

Yeah PC sales are down, but PC's have also plateaued performance wise. We simply aren't getting generational leaps in computing power that necessitate new hardware anymore. A system from 5+ years ago can still handle most tasks. Pads meanwhile ARE getting sizable upgrades that justify purchases, but even those are going to slow down as they've hit the battery wall.

Irt to the Occulus, VR got lost in the wilderness because there just wasn't the GPU grunt to do graphics as good as what you can get on a monitor at an acceptable FPS on the headset. The older VR just looked godawful and was at such a low framerate that it was migraine inducing. We're at that point now.
Indeed! The last time I saw a VR machine in the wild it was running this game (the name of the game helpfully supplied to me by a kindly blues poster in an old thread). Look at how primitive that is, it doesn't even have textures. Processing power and display tech have come so very far since then that its due for another shot. |

It's exciting because it works so well. It works well enough to have grabbed the attention of major developers who want to support it. Please let me strap a 3D, motion tracking display to my face. If I had an extra $300 right now, I would so grab a developer kit to play Doom 3 with.
Yup Doom3 would probably work well, as would Amnesia. I'm looking forward to trying it in games that have a good sense of scale and/or height, like Mirrors Edge or Assassins Creed. |

You mean the gadgets that keep getting disabled due to security issues? And that the majority of people don't use. Odd I've yet to use the ribbon, but that's probably because I've been using nothing but keyboard shortcuts for the last 12 years.
Disabled due to "security" issues 6 years after being introduced, conveniently just a few months before Windows 8 release. And they never even bothered to fix the security holes, instead they tell people to buy windows 8 or just sod off and disable the feature. The MS website used to have gadgets that were tested by MS and perfectly safe for use, once again you go there and it pushes you towards Windows 8.
As for a majority not using it, how much is that? Even 10% of windows 7 licenses sold is 60 million people. |

No but start8 does. And really I can't find a difference between Win7 or Win8 with it. Unless you've got a real hardon over aero, which I hated anyway.
Start8 fixes a few things but not all. You need the 8 Gadget Pack to restore desktop gadgets, and if you dislike "ribbons" you need another utility to restore the windows 7 interface in explorer. There are a few other things but they're pretty minor. And yes people miss aero glass, not everyone likes the minimalist Windows 95 approach of 8.
So yes if you install a few mods you can get an uglier, slightly faster Windows 7. Assuming MS doesn't disable these mods with a patch again. |

If you're not using their service anymore and they can't show you ads or sell you useless shit what exactly do you imagine they will be using your getting-older-and-more-useless-by-the-minute personal info for?
I imagine building an army of robot clones to take over the world, one random citizen at a time. |

So, if you're using classic shell or start8. Which makes Win8 pretty much the same as Win7, are you saying that Win7 also sucks?
Classic shell doesn't fix everything.

Dell had it last week, I checked...
edit: yep, still there
I picked up a couple Windows 7 licenses from NCIX for some work machines, although that was probably just their remaining inventory. |

| If the threat of a future dictator is a reason for blocking gun control then it can also be used to justify scaling back the power of the military. The less weapons that future dictator has the safer the people are. Good luck getting that passed. |
