@Wipqozn your towns always seem to be more or less the same size, as if they don't ever grow

also, how the hell do you have so much money?

there's always buildings I need, so my cash is always hovering just above 0

@Frank how insisting do you have to be to manage to plug a USB in the wrong way? :O

Frank

@Chippies Depends on how stressed out you are.

(Hint: She was REALLY stressed)

Chippies

@Frank Idk, unless the port was really flimsy and made of crappy materials, it would still require quite a lot of force, imho

@MadScientist It was mostly because it was kinda fragile, and she probably shorted it out by lifting the slot right off the board.

Q: Is it possible to model real cities in the new Cities: Skyline?

Is it possible to model real cities in the new Cities: Skyline ? By that, I mean to recreate the look of the city so it would resemble an aerial of a real city like London or Chicago. Obviously to do that you would need to make buildings look like real buildings in the city in question. For exam...

New York mother arrested for being black, and then had her children taken away for being black

> “You black b----es don’t know how to take care of your kids … you need to call the kids’ father, not us … we can’t raise your kids … why are you wasting our time, we aren’t here to raise your kid … why don’t you take your f---ing kid and leave?” the officer said, according to the lawsuit.

> Mobley said at her preliminary hearing that when she tried to leave, the officer stopped her and told her he was arresting her. She also said that when she asked the officer why she was being arrested, he told her, “If you’re going to say another f---ing word, I’m going to knock your teeth down your throat.”

Q: What do I get for getting Poke-Bank?

I apologize to those who are disgruntled by the wrong type of question, but what do I get if I get Poke-Bank (besides the ability to transfer Pokemon up from older games), and, are there any alternatives? I am trying to decide if I want to spend the £5 a year or not.

Rick Santorum blames gay marriage in the US on the EU because they don't have the word 'God' in their constitution. Little does he know, the US doesn't have the word 'God' in its constitution either.

Granted, this is from a blogspot site so I'm a bit ambivalent on its veracity.

But this is Rick Santorum, it sounds about right for him.

spugsley

@Yuuki oh goodness, Rick Santorum.

Yuuki

@spugsley Also, I'm imagining some EU countries saying, "You're saying we're the cause of marriage equality in the US? Huh. You're welcome, I guess."

@Yuuki you know what they say... "when you're born with a bible up your ass it's really hard to get it out."

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuuki I would agree with that

Mad Scientist

9:55 PM

@Yuuki Germany here, we have the word "god" in our constitution. Not that we pay attention to that, but it's in there in the part that hasn't any consequences.

Chippies

why is it that Americans are so fussy about who's left wing, right wing, liberal, republican, etc? Every time I read an article about politics, there's always one group belittling the other group and vice versa and there's never a debate that doesn't involve grouping people into certain groups

@MattGiltaji but I haven't seen people from any other country care so much about politics and be so vocal about it

Matt Giltaji

@Chippies part of it is that media companies, individuals, and the political parties themselves make enormous amounts of money by getting "normal" people angry about every little thing

@AshleyNunn It's the rare kind of book that basically writes itself.

GOTTA BUY FOUR OF THOSE

AT THE VERY LEAST

SCRATCH THAT: BUILD FOUR IDENTICAL COMPUTERS, WITH FOUR TITAN X'S EACH

AND ASSIGN A QUARTER OF THE SCREEN TO EACH COMPUTER

ONLY THEN YOU WILL REALLY REACH MAXIMUM GLORY

Chippies

I'll just wait for when AMD releases their new stuff, they haven't done much lately

295x2 is faster than titan x most of the time, but has lower minimum frames

1080p is gonna be good enough for me for quite a while, I think

Unionhawk

Yeah, please, this thing has enough trouble at 900p low graphics a lot of the time

RPi Awesomeness

Are we talking about the Titan X?

MadMAxJr

Dude you're still doing SLIx4? I got a warehouse for a rendering farm next door.

RPi Awesomeness

10:25 PM

@badp That's a LinusTechTips video isn't it?

badp

@RPiAwesomeness yep

RPi Awesomeness

I'd recognize that benchmarking video background anywhere

Meh. I'd still prefer a 980

Too expensive. But, I mean, it's not targeted at gamers specifically like the 980, 970, and 960 is.

Chippies

@RPiAwesomeness the Titan X is something you should want, but not necessarily purchase

Titans have never been great price/performance cards

Serverfrog

im a filthy 970 peasant Q-Q

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies Oh. Heck, I'd love it. But I would still buy a 980 before saving up for a Titan X

@Serverfrog How's that 3.5GB VRAM working out ;)

Chippies

10:27 PM

they're just the best single gpu cards and without competition they can afford being expensive

RPi Awesomeness

I'd honestly buy even a 970.

Serverfrog

@RPiAwesomeness i don't really feel it, the 500mb slow vram

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies And they're more targeted at game/3D graphics devs - more workstation cards

Chippies

980 seems pointless for 1080p gaming

RPi Awesomeness

@Serverfrog I doubt you would. Most people don't on the commonly played games.

Serverfrog

10:27 PM

but 300€ for a 4k gaming card

RPi Awesomeness

It's still an impressive card for the price.

Chippies

@RPiAwesomeness well nowadays it's targeted at 4k gaming

RPi Awesomeness

4k gaming isn't here.

Chippies

since nothing can really push 4k well enough yet

RPi Awesomeness

Not by a long shot

At least for AAA games.

Serverfrog

10:28 PM

i mean WoW:WoD... i can't run it on 4k and Ultra

MadMAxJr

I'm waiting for AAAA games, that can't be run on current gen hardware, but get released anyway.

Chippies

@MadMAxJr Crysis?

Serverfrog

@MadMAxJr The Crysis effekt?

Chippies

Doom 3 could hardly run on hardware of those times as well

MadMAxJr

Preorder now and it comes with a developer box.

Preorder the double platinum edition and it comes with a developer.

RPi Awesomeness

10:30 PM

lol.

Serverfrog

but then take the other side of the coin: the Sega Saturn

Chippies

whenever AMD finally releases their new cpu's and gpu's, that's when I'll start planning my new PC...

Ampt

AMD needs to get their shit together in a bad way

RPi Awesomeness

Tell me that the green lighting on that Titan X is meant to be there...otherwise they've got some serious color-cast issues with their lighting.

Chippies

@RPiAwesomeness LED's probably (idk what picture you're talking about)

Ampt

10:32 PM

They're killing the console market (obviously) but who the hell is installing AMD cards into gaming rigs?

Serverfrog

I think AMD looses it's Place as price-performance ratio

MadMAxJr

I'm waiting for Cyrix to make a comeback from National Semiconductor before I plan my next PC.

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies That was what I'm guessing.

Ampt

I would still put their CPUs in that category, but their GPUs need drivers, and AMD makes ultra-crap drivers so...

Chippies

@Ampt plenty of people, actually, a 290x can outperform 980 in many cases and is cheaper

RPi Awesomeness

10:33 PM

@Chippies That is true.

Chippies

amd cpu's and gpu's deliver amazing performance per dollar

RPi Awesomeness

NVIDIA == Better Power Efficiency & less heat, but it's more expensive.

Ampt

@Chippies except when the driver crashes... again... and again... and again... I try not to be a fan boy but anyone who's done crossfire can attest to how awful the experience is

Matt Giltaji

which cards have less fan noise? my rig at home sounds like a jet engine at takeoff

Serverfrog

So AMD -> lesser pre invest and then higher Power costs, nvidia the other side?

RPi Awesomeness

10:34 PM

I would have gone AMD for my GPU and CPU if I wasn't going to only be using Ubuntu for my OS (NVIDIA drivers work better with Linux) and if I hadn't got such a deal on an Z-87 Mobo

Ampt

@MattGiltaji H20 FTW

Mad Scientist

The power consumption of current AMD cards is rather discouraging if you only have a 430W power supply. I'll probably buy a 970 next, I'm terribly GPU-limited after I got a 2560x1440 monitor

Serverfrog

and now the question of the questions: Good Linux Support?

Chippies

@Ampt have you used an AMD gpu since radeon became extinct?

since ATi was bought by AMD?

Yuuki

@Ampt Water is pretty awesome.

Ampt

10:34 PM

@Yuuki you can drink it n shit

Chippies

@MadScientist 430w seems rather weak for a gaming rig to begin with

Matt Giltaji

@Yuuki >< i was looking for a card named h20

Ampt

oops... :) the Asus DirectCU2 coolers on my stock cards worked pretty silently when they were still attached

Chippies

@MattGiltaji depends on aftermarket cooling solution mostly

Ampt

well... the bottom one was quiet... the top one realized that it was like 2mm from the next card down and flipped out and went 150% like it was going to create lift and make more room

Mad Scientist

10:36 PM

@Chippies It's perfectly fine at the moment, it's a reasonable Seasonic that actually can provide the nominal power. I've a 2500k and a 560Ti and still some power to spare.

RPi Awesomeness

o.O 7 GHz? Imagine that on a CPU. You'd have to cool that bad boy with liquid nitrogen and stuff.

Chippies

@MadScientist well, yeah, you can get by with it, but I'd imagine at full load you're running pretty close to limit

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies That was my thought. I've got a 550W and that's about as slow as I was willing to go.

Chippies

I'd go as low as 500w, just because it's a nice round number

but sometimes you can get a nice 600w for just a couple more dollars

@RPiAwesomeness theregister.co.uk/2014/09/02/amd_fx_series

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah 500W would probably be fine. But, I mean, there really isn't too much price difference between the 500W ones and 550-600W ones and I was going for future-proof upgradeability/peace of mind.

Whoa. 8.7 GHz. That's impressive.

Ouch. 250W TDP. That's almost half of my PSU right there.

Mad Scientist

10:40 PM

@Chippies 354W currently with Furmark and Prime95 running both. And that is the power draw without calculating the efficiency of the power supply, so there is still quite a bit of headroom

Chippies

@RPiAwesomeness future is heading towards power efficiency though, so there's that too :)

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies Yeah. And, it gave me some overhead for OCing the CPU.

Chippies

@MadScientist 430w * 0.8 = 344w assuming it's 80 bronze certified

I mean, you're not gonna hit that wattage at normal use

but it probably wouldn't be too good to run at 354w for a long time on your 430w psu

Mad Scientist

@Chippies The rated power is the output, I think. And I got something like 85% efficiency at that load

RPi Awesomeness

facepalm

That moment when you go to close a Firefox tab with the Ctrl+W shortcut and accidentally hit Ctrl+Q :P

Chippies

10:43 PM

@MadScientist Idk, you're probably right, Idk that much about how the PSU's work

@RPiAwesomeness seems like a crappy choice of shortcut keys for closing all windows (that's what google told me it does)

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies ik. I use my keyboard for a lot of things, but that one nips me in the butt fairly commonly. Especially when I'm changing tabs when it's dark out :P

Chippies

@RPiAwesomeness Yay for backlit keyboards! Also, can you disable/rebind the shortcut?

doesn't seem like a shortcut I'd ever use

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies Oh, probably. But I'm too lazy :P

It doesn't happen very often though, so it's nbd.

Chippies

alt+f4 works just fine if I really have to

not sure if alt+f4 works in linux though, so there's that

RPi Awesomeness

RPi Awesomeness

Chippies

Acer has the best quality control

@RPiAwesomeness at least they did all they could at apple to lower the heat

RPi Awesomeness

It couldn't hurt to try putting Ubuntu, Mint, or Elementary OS on there just to give it a go. Who knows, it might run cooler, especially if you install TLP on it.

Chippies

10:52 PM

@RPiAwesomeness I don't think anything can make it run cooler, if it gets quite warm on windows idling

I have vent holes drilled into it, so the fan can actually get some air in, but it's still quite warm

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies #CaseModsFTW :D

Chippies

before I drilled the holes it shut down from overheating in summer even when idling

@SaintWacko What distro/DE combo?

SaintWacko

@RPiAwesomeness Ubuntu 14.04

RPi Awesomeness

@SaintWacko Nice! I've got that on my desktop. 14.10 on my laptop was just too boring of a release to make it worth the extra upgrade time.

10:56 PM

\o BBL. Dinner time has struck.

@SaintWacko Fair enough :D

Whoever said Linux can't game is obviously not with the times.

Yes, most AAA titles aren't on Linux, but tons of others are. And just because AAA games aren't on your platform doesn't mean it "can't game".

Anyways. Dinner time
