Or, as an alternate: Regionally aligned forces (RAF) provide capabilities to combatant commanders with agile, adaptable and focused general-purpose forces that can prevent, shape and win in today’s operational environment by generating Soldiers and organizations that are better trained for specific regions. (italics are not mine, they are from the author) becomes: There's a whole lotta different kinds of bastards out there. We're gonna make sure we've got the right stuff to kill each and every kind of son of a bitch, and we're gonna make sure they know that. And if they know that and they still decide they want war, then they know the tread mark that'll be on their rears.

It means that the officer writing it can layer jargon to achieve proper packaging of contradictions allowing maximal buzzword density and the provision of the level of clarity of mutually uncomplimentary definitions (MUD). But no it's an argument for somewhat specializing forces to provide greater capability in the chosen area in both deterrent and warfighting terms. Problem is a regionally specialized force is by definition not adaptable, and if anything the US is overburdened with regions to align to, minor nuances he apparently had no time for around another round of buzzword flashcards. Postscript: Fuck MacNamara.

One of the few things hippies and militia types can agree on.

Cooler Master 212 and a better fan is a strong contender, it's very good, and excellent for the price. The Noctua is pretty decent and plenty sufficient for most non-serious overclocked CPUs, with a pretty big focus on noise. EVGA's ACX CPU cooler is apparently a top notch heatsink, but it wants a fan replacement to shine.

What's a single thread performance, windows? I dunno. Also god help me I'm considering setting up an OpenStack machine at home for laughs and work stuffs.

Wicked just indicates you speak a malformed version of the English language because you're from the bad big city on the northeast coast.

Ah yes, the lumpen pickle and the progressively larger triangles.

Dear god that looks better than the awful mod for Sins I helped make. Buying it just so I can spin ships and drool. Also good on the guy for having played BFG, it's a great tabletop game.

That sucks, sorry to hear it. It's sad to hear these super premium screens having issues when I got a pair of decentish 1440p IPS for $700 combined and they only have IPS glow that isn't noticeable in most cases. Having those screens and the issues the *sync screens have makes me perfectly happy to wait it out. I just hope Fury rocks so I can take a week off work when I get it and drag my 34UM95 home to game on. It's either that or not spend $650 on a video card I don't play heavy enough games to need, and that doesn't sound fun now does it?

Dear god. Also what monitor?

It has been a steady process mirroring the slow decline of the USSR. Legend says he gained three pants sizes when the Berlin Wall fell.

Nuke on a deadman switch.

Atrocity can solve most problems except, of course, the problem of bad guys winning.

As if the combat load of the soldier doesn't expand like an ideal gas to fill the container.

Is that pose the Ski Ramp?

Hahaha, you've got jokes now. Those space savings got cashed in. Redesigning ships like that is problematic in the extreme.

If you're thinking about specific games, look up that specific game. I'll spare you scrolling through gamegpu.ru. Honestly it seems like it'll eat the CPU power you feed it, but that's a steep price tag. You'll probably see a bit more, 290X aftermarket is more impressive than Titan and it's been getting continued improvements. It looks like an i5 is enough threads for it, comparing the 2500k and 2600k, it's just ruled by clock speed once it's got four real cores, although a 40% OC on the 2600K only gets 20% more performance. Minimums do a bit better, especially at unplayably high settings (come on bohemia get it together). Edit: 290Xs are on the way out, so act quickly if you want one.

I'd say the CPU would very likely be worth it in the long run, although it won't always make a huge difference. http://anandtech.com/bench/product/697?vs=1198 You're captain of your own ship when it comes to motherboard features and what really matters, but AsRock's control stuff has been very favorably reviewed, and when I looked I considered it second only to ASUS'. IIRC you're running a 760. This is a low bound on the difference between the cards, because that's a reference 290X, although Uber keeps it from throttling too hard, an aftermarket cooled card will do better. http://anandtech.com/bench/product/1059?vs=1038 CPUs are infrastrure. They aren't glamorous but they do need updating every once in a while or things start getting ugly and there's not much you can do to get around a CPU bottleneck. It's more expensive for a CPU/mobo than the card, but only you can say when it's worthwhile. That should last pretty well for quite a while though, and if you really need cores you might be able to find a used i7 cheapish in the distant future. Maybe not though. It should probably last 5 years fine. GPUs turn over faster and steadily improve. However, you'll get a much bigger boost right now. I personally don't believe in recommending whether to spend. I recommend how to spend if you're going to spend. That upgrade should give a noticeable boost. Whether that's worth it or not is up to you, and is informed by what else you do with your time that could be benefited by that money.

Done and done, that sounds like a great use for a cheese that doesn't melt.

Most of the times I find myself replacing meat, I find myself going to paneer. Part is because most of the time Indian food is where cubes of something with a firm texture like meat is called for, and part is just because it has a good texture and taste.

I very much like being able to easily handle team effort actions. Very much. The inadvertent encouragement of niche terratorialism is an awful idea and should be countered. Speaking of RPG things I utterly loathe: http://theangrygm.com/ask-angry-passive-skills-active-skills-perception-and-knowledge/ Angry GM is good and covers something near and dear to my heart. Skill checks are to resolve the results of actions caused by character choice, either NPC or PC. If a skill check is a matter of passive detection of information, it should be pre-decided and divulged, not be something the players have to badger the GM about.

I'm talking straight up outright Sandy Bridge single core instructions per clock performance there. I don't think that's too unreasonable if they go for IPC like they said they were going, and that'd make it close enough that things relying on a single strong core would be a lot less brutal.

Asia's already been teasing it.

Get 50 games in pvp not in bot battles and you too can have a reskinned version of the T4 US BB.

Their CPUs are. Their GPUs have been very competitive, and have generally aged better than NV parts. The big problem is they tried to make a real serious play for server marketshare, and really messed up their architecture by going in the opposite direction of what would give a good product in basically every single market segment. Hopefully they'll have a good one coming out soon, just in time for APUs to become a very viable product. If their CPU pans out right, they could be in a great position to challenge Intel in the absolutely huge space of people who don't use a dGPU. Even matching sandy bridge would get them close enough to compete very well on superior graphics. Plus, that'd let them gouge into NV's lower end discrete marketshare.
