I recently saw a message in my spam folder pretending to be from my own email address, and their "proof" of this was mentioning a really old password they got from one of those leaked credential dumps. They say they've already infected my PC with untraceable malware and threaten to tell all my contacts of the shady and disgusting things I look at or do online unless they receive like 1000 bucks in BTC within 48 hours of opening the email... Lmao.

Update 18/11/2018 20:29 GMT – A spokesperson from Nvidia has reached out to us to dismiss this story. Stating that the item is simply out of stock. Instead of showing as “out of stock”, the NVIDIA website simply removes the item from the store, which led us to believe that the item had been de-listed. This is false and we apologise for supplying false information. We’ll update again as any information arrises to that fact, or otherwise.

yeah it's been off the site for like months now, I don't even know how that became news.

Then why does the GEFORCE GTX 1080 TI FOUNDERS EDITION 11GB GDDR5X say Notify Me because it's currently OOS?
This is bullshit from Nvidia, nothing more nothing less.

They sold "well" relatively speaking, but they made no profit, basically. Apparently only the Walking Dead series made them money. And they had insane amounts of staff to churn out their huge amount of games, so had a huge burn rate.

Just pisspoor management, basically.

Importantly, victims of revenge porn are caused somewhat irreparable injury, which cannot be compensated for, even with millions.

Give me a fucking derp.

Man, this is so ridiculously Cutter. It's the fault of women having fun with men, not men being assholes.

Naked photos are healthy and fun. Stop trying to discourage them.

Would you expect anything different from the angry white man.

As much as I'd like to, I still haven't even bought a SSD for my desktop PC, as I simply can't justify the ridiculous cost over a (much larger) HDD.

I was like this too, but then I got an SSD. Having instant boot times, and instant response times on everything was worth it and I feel I've gotten my money back from those time savings.

The thing is, I leave my PC on 24/7, and reboots happen infrequently. So the only way an SSD would make sense for me would be to get one large enough to replace my main drive, that also has all my software and games - which means 1TB at the absolute minimum, with a 2TB making me feel more comfortable. Otherwise, there would be no benefit and it would be a waste (ie. with just my OS on a smaller drive).

A 1TB M2 drive would cost me about $300 US minimum (and they can go up to twice that), whereas I can get a 10TB (!!) HDD for about the same amount (or a 1TB HDD for $45). There's just no way. Sure, I can afford it, but I certainly can't justify it.

Wolfenstein II is one of the many games I bought early because of how much I liked the first game and then won't touch for 2 or 3 years because of the many games on my backlog which is constantly growing because I bought the games early because of how much I liked...

Ehm...

Where are my meds again? And somebody please destroy my credit card. Thanks!

I'm willing to give this a go eventually. I have the first although it never quite grabbed me. Not like Left 4 Dead anyway. I felt it was missing something. Even the combat got kind of dull quickly because your just swinging away mad without requiring much skill there.

I've heard they greatly improved the hit detection/combat overall so that that's a great leap already if they did. If they just made the progression through the stages a tad more clean then I'm sold. The first was just missing maybe polish or something to really move it into AAA grade quality game.

I couldn't remember for the longest time but now it just hit me. Demolition Man! That's the snowflake world little SJWs like Nucas are hoping for. A world that appears on the surface to be free and fair but is really just another totalitarian state where free thought and expression are illegal. Where bad language gets you fined and dirty thoughts get you sent to a "re-education" camp, and sex is completely virtual, and no one ever eats anything bad for them. Holy shit, I don't know who wrote Demolition Man but they were way ahead of the curve.

Yes. Exactly. You exposed their nefarious plans.
It's especially entertaining as no one gets worked up over minor things than you, the difference being that people like Nucas care about others and you only pipe up about something when it has potential to make your day slightly worse. Otherwise, you think everyone is an awful complainer that needs to shut up. But if it's an issue that may make Cutter's life 0.001% worse, holy shit, he calls everyone an evil fraud!

There was no collusion, absolutely no collusion, no collusion.

If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth.

Vitamin C cures the common cold. You only use 10% of your brain. Eating carrots improves your eyesight. Crime in the US is at an all-time high.

You should probably read what it actually says, but that might be a bit hard for you so: The claim was, russians colluded to elect Trump. The case shows that isn't the case. It in fact shows that they ran campaigns to bolster BLM, Clinton, Stein, a couple of others. They ran a campaign to bolster Trump. So sorry, the collusion story goes right out the window. Collusion means they worked *directly* with an official in an official capacity to do something. But here's the kicker, they created fake US drivers licenses(and stole ID) to vote in US elections, and wanna guess which party they registered under? It's in the indictment.

Man would you look at that. I guess you *do* need voter ID laws, on top of that it looks like you also need to start deporting all those illegals. After all, if 13 russians supposedly influenced an election(starting back in 2014), what's with those 12 million+ illegals?

The US spacefaring shop asked for permission to launch up to 12,000 satellites to form this internet-sharing constellation.

What could possibly go wrong with that plan?

Ugh, satellite based internet. Yeah, 5 second delay for any action is useful internet...how the hell is Satellite internet even still something that can realistically considered?

I'm sure SpaceX has a plan to reduce latency, but you can only do so much before physics takes over. Sorry, any Americans in rural areas, you're going to keep on getting screwed, of course.

Whenever I see an open PvP game, I just think of myself playing Ultima Online in '97, and Asheron's Call Darktide in '99...playing 16 hours a day, laying waste to the people who actually had a life.

Since I'm on the opposite end of that spectrum now, lucky if I can play for 3-4 hours every third evening, I can't participate any longer.

Wish I could though, those days were a blast.
