    ** The AMD VEGA Thread **

    I really don't know if it's worth the wait anymore, another 2 months is a really long time especially since I have no pc to tide me over in the wait. I've been waiting because I have a freesync ultrawide monitor (3880 x1600). Is freesync worth it? I know a 1080ti is more than enough for my...

    Overclocked ryzen and power consumption

    I know that normal overclocking of ryzen disables the power saving features and the CPU will always be running at the overclocked speed but is there a significant excessive usage of power when the cpu is overclocked but isn't running any intensive programmes? There is something called pstate...

    Best distro for a slow atom netbook?

    I vote some form of puppy or crunchbang. Puppy will be quicker but crunchbang is beautiful and I love openbox.

    Lance Armstrong charges

    I recently finished reading a book called "The Sociopath Next Door". Armstrong could have been lifted verbatim from it.

    any router that natively supports bandwidth throttling?

    I've been looking for a router that will allow me to limit bandwidth to each user. Most routers seem to just have a simple prioritizing QOS feature. Someone in my house recently got a device (similar to appleTV) which basically streams p2p TV and is hammering the bandwidth and exceeding the...

    Olympic female badminton players face charges

    i don't think you can compare the two sports like that. You can't draw in badminton nor can you knock the shuttlecock back and forth until the end of the match. You either score a point or lose a point.

    Olympic female badminton players face charges

    what's the difference if they tried to lose obviously or appear to be making an effort? The answer is no difference at all except they tricked the audience. Perhaps a more grey area would be if Spain needed only 1 more point for a better draw so played for a draw. They would also not be...

    Olympic female badminton players face charges

    i don't see it as the equivalent you described. Still using swimming as a comparison I would consider the previous round robin matches to be part of the "prelim" and this last match which they gave no effort is like the last few lengths. They also "knowingly did enough to get through". They've...

    Olympic female badminton players face charges

    it's in poor taste but i wouldn't call it cheating. They did enough to qualify so were holding back. It's the same as all the swimmers we've been watching holding back during prelims and giving their all for the finals (Phelps first race he qualified in 8th place). It's perfectly acceptable to...

    What does everyone think about the Ye Shiwen swimming performance?

    Also she has 1 WC gold and 2 Silver medals so it's not like she came out of nowhere. Considering she's only 16. It's easier to improve PB's as your body grows compared to older competitors.

    What does everyone think about the Ye Shiwen swimming performance?

    That's just sensationalism, she swam the last leg (of 8) faster than Lochte because she paces herself differently over the 400m. Would your eyebrow still be raised to know she is actually 23 seconds slower (4:28.43) than Lochte (4:05.18) overall and 15 seconds behind the 8th placed male...

    The "Post your pictures here" thread.

    thx for the tips. I see what you mean about the persistent light sources on a very long exposure. The brightness of the background kinda threw me off, the area must have been a lot darker than what i assumed it was based on the picture.

    The "Post your pictures here" thread.

    wow this looks great! How is this effect achieved without seeing the person holding the torch? I'm a novice but this looks like a lot of fun to give a go. I understand it must have been a long exposure but can you give me a bit more detail?

    Choosing a camera bag

    Looking for a new hoover.

    I wouldn't worry about the bag, we used to own a miele in the early 90's and the bag mechanism is still the same today. The miele has a general brush that can do hardwood floors if the bristles are set down. They have a specially designed brush for hard floors if you wish to buy it as an extra.

    Looking for a new hoover.

    i was in the market for a new vacuum cleaner recently too. Went for the miele 5000 series one ( the black one, it's got the most powerful motor but non of the gimick attachments i don't need). After owning several bagless models before, i've decided bag is the way too go. No mess just bin the...

    Estate agents (letting)

    they take a % of the monthly rent from the landlord based on the services they provide. If the landlord just uses them to find a tenant and manages everything else then it's usually just a payment.
