Of course the best way to get justice is to burn down your own home. Brilliant people those Fergsonians.
I liked your original post better.
A lot of people probably use Linux with out even realizing it.Like other malware then.
Lol, vs Linux. Like its a viable alternative or something.
Why aren't you getting more storage capacity than 256GB?
*posts thread asking for suggestions to improve shit PC*
Won't fit a lot of anything on 256GB, just sayin.
The SSD seems out of place. You'd be better off with a large capacity HDD of similar price since it is a gaming computer and games nowadays take up huge amounts of space. Just my opinion, though. The idea of constantly deleting/downloading games as I play them is not desirable.
Also, in addition to what Parsifal said, I would like to point out that your GPU is going to be bottlenecked by that CPU. If you're going to build a new computer I'd suggest getting a better CPU first then a GPU later. You can easily add a GPU to a build, but the same isn't really true for CPUs. If you get a bad CPU you're boned until the next build. Intel's integrated graphics are actually pretty impressive, I have a Surface Pro that uses Intel 4000 and it can stand to play most games at 1080p on low settings.
Welp, I finally got around to seeing it. I agree with the RLM guys, and the Rottentomatoes score. It's a good film, but not a great one and certainly not Nolan's best. What dragged it down for me was the heavy handed dialogue and issues with the plot. I didn't appreciate the "love transcends space" nonsense, it came across as very corny and out of place in a movie that had established itself as being critical of silly concepts and quite grounded. The pro-exploration stuff also began to grind on me, I realise Nolan wants to really push this message but I feel he was too blunt in doing so.
Then there's the issues with the plot. Time travel always fucks up media that uses it, and Interstellar is no exception. It doesn't make sense that humanity evolved to where they are when Earth was destined to die, so how could they have saved us? Time is portrayed as something set in stone unless you mess with it (as seen in the Tesseract), so it should be safe to assume that the future humans had to go through the same stuff we did.
Black Holes do not work the way they do in the movie. No one knows what is beyond the Event Horizon, but it's probably not a Tesseract that happens to manifest all of your specific memories and allows you to change them, before dumping you in the future next to Saturn. Another issue was the constant cutting from Cooper to Murph during suspenseful moments. It felt contrived trying to create drama with the doctor and lung crap on Earth when Cooper is trying to save humanity. I felt Matt Damon was a bit of a distraction in an already long movie, but I didn't dislike the addition of that sub plot.
That said, it did have great imagery and some cool directing choices. It certainly wasn't a bad movie, but I think Nolan could have done a lot better than he did.
Oh God I botched that link.This is what I've been hearing. That it was too ambitious with the space scenes that it weakened the human element. Basically, it missed the mark.
tl;dw the RLM guys liked it, but felt it was too many movies rolled into one. They felt that the weakest part of the movie was the human drama.
I'm still going to see it cause I think it'll still be good regardless. I'm just worried it'll be similar to 12 Years a Slave.
As a former bookie, I can tell you myself, in spite of what people stupidly say in this forum, the odds of the Earth alone (forget about the rest of the universe) being built with just the right amount of chemicals and what-not to support life is so-far from likely that its stupid.
