    4690K beats both. Overclocking prowess of the 3570K with the IPC of the 4670K.

    See, I don't care if it is low or high, as long as I can play with my friends (besides, since my computer is SO BAD, I'm used to low framerates.

    The point is that you can do better for the same cost.

    Don't start this...

    You started this "fiasco" with a nonsensical premise, either retract it or be prepared to defend it.

    Regardless, this should be moved to CST so more "experienced" forumgoers can assist the OP.

    2. Don't you think 6TB is quite a bit excessive? To use up that much you would need to have about a dozen hours of fraps footage.


    I've never understood this forum's view of "you have too much storage." It's not like a 2 TB drive is double the price of a 1 TB drive.

    Yeah, no. I'd love to see a video of a 650 Ti playing Minecraft at 60+ fps with SEUS v10.1 and Crysis 3 at very high fps on high/ultra settings - mainly because it's simply not possible.


    A "PC cam" of the graphics card exploding in the process would be nice as well.

    Unfortunately, knowing how to play a song simply by listening to it requires a talent (or ability if you will) most commonly known as "Pitch Perfect".

    I think with that amount of money on your somewhat old motherboard any upgrades would just be a bandaid until you do a serious upgrade, but http://www.amazon.com/AMD-A8-3870K-Graphics-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B006J420UE will work for a while.

    The A4-5300 is newer than the 3870K, so he'd essentially be downgrading the motherboard to get it.

    Quote from Metamorphic_Fish

    Con: Having some breeds of dog around children isn't always a good idea... especially in a neighborhood, when you have to be careful about other's children too. I also think, if there was an intruder, he could take out the dog easily, depending on the type of breed, or his weapon.
    If your dog is a threat to children, it is the owner's fault for not training the dog correctly. There are no bad breeds, only bad owners

    Honorable Mentions

    DEFAnimation - For giving me the idea!
    Everyone @ Karmacorp - For giving me the greatest time i've ever had on a server!
    Anyone who downloads and/or supports this texture pack, thanks in advance!
    Stonehawk - For the strength potion effect animation, and for being an awesome friend

    Requests

    Ideas, Ideas, Ideas. I have several ideas for many textures, but not all of them. Feel free to post ideas for any texture.

    Criticism is allowed and (as previously stated) requested! But do note, berating is NOT criticism. This is my first texture pack. Infact, its my first anything-realated-to-textures, so yes, I am a novice.

    Anything you might be willing to give; advice, help, perhaps a video review *cough* FreestyleOMG *cough*...or nothing, no big deal ;)

    Quote from Winter_Mage
    Isny te suppose to be a subset of id

    Creationism is an attempt to make Intelligent Design sound scientific, and it fails catastrophically.

    What makes the whole "Creationism/Evolution" thing so strange is that it is so specific. It is a single set of supposedly competing theories (Creationism is not a theory, I explained why that is- it's based solely on innate and one could also say a childish need to look at things in a teleological sense.

    But when I say specific, is particularly with regards to the "teach the controversy" bit that was started ages ago when this whole debate was started by christian apologists on school board councils. There isn't any "controversy" outside religious fundamentalists, though.

    And it raises the question- the posit is typically, "well, you should teach Evolution and creationism both, in the interest of fairness".

    By the same metric, should we teach the "stork" theory of reproduction next to the sex "theory"?
    Should we teach the 'theory' of celestially inspired attraction next to the Theory of electromagnetism?
    Should we teach the 'theory' that Pi is 3 next to the "theory" that it is 3.1415926...?

    The problem I think is that somehow, "theory" came to mean the same thing as an opinion. You have an idea on how something works, it's a theory, in the colloquial sense. However, when we talk about the Theory of Evolution, or the Theory of electromagnetism, or the theory of General Relativity, etc. we aren't talking about a simple idea of how certain things work; we're talking about a theory in the purest scientific sense, a well-substantiated explanation of observed phenomena that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly confirmed through further observation and experimentation, and which provides verifiable or falsifiable predictions.

    The theory of Evolution by Natural Selection meets this criteria. The Theory of Electromagnetism does. the "Theory" of Creationism doesn't meet this definition. It is nothing more than a opinion being presented as a theory; on the pedestal of the idea that "all opinions are equally valid" allowing apologists for the causes in question to push it as a "theory" in the colloquial sense, putting it on the same level as Evolution and Electromagnetism, which are, "only a theory". Creationism is a theory only in the colloquial sense. It has no well-substantiated explanations of observed phenomena acquired via the scientific method and repeatedly confirmed via further observation and experimentation.

    Putting Creationism on par with the Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection is analogous to giving equal consideration the the scientific theory of reproduction via Sex and the theory of reproduction through stork delivery. One has a well-substantiated body of evidence showing it to the be true. the other has opinions and assertions (I'm sure there is a site somewhere that is not satirical that may support this supposed cause...). When you actually look at the evidence support each side- you see that one has well-substantiated evidence acquired via the scientific method. The other has anecdotes and complaints and FUD that tries to elevate itself to the same level as evolutionary theory by simply saying "Evolution is just a theory, so is creationism! Teach the controversy!"

    Education needs to be re-prioritized to focus on what the individual needs to know rather than a standard can of knowledge everyone should know. A medical doctor does not need to know the history of the Roman Empire, and a trash-man does not need to know algebra.

    Does this government include a Wiccan seer who can tell the future/fate of people?
    Quote from crafter200


    That is fantastic. The first real step in moving forward with a real change is to accept some ideas as wrong and ridicule them.


    That statement gave off so much bad vibes and I'm not even religious O.o

    Two people with the same exact genitalia are indeed the same as trying to combine thyme with thyme. You can't spin it any other way.

    For what it is worth I do not base any of my views on religion - it's simply how nature created us.

    There are two sexes, therefore, it makes logical sense to follow nature: a marriage of a man and a woman will follow nature; two men or two women do not.

    That is why we form couples.

    Are you seriously saying you agree with redstonevet's posts?
