Usually but not always. If it should happen again, it's easy enough to check your peers within your torrent client - you'll occasionally run in to healthy swarm leeching off of a slow uploader living in the sticks and using dial-up. If a bunch of seeders are sitting at 100%, you'll probably have...

As has been previously mentioned, ISP throttle is the likely culprit. Another possibility is that no one else was seeding at 100% and they, like you, were waiting for the last few bits from the original uploader.

You're probably in a better position to answer this than anyone else. How many games do you like to have ready to go at any given time? Do you have any other hard drive hog programs? Will media be stored on this drive or do you have a different solution (another drive or NAS)? I have a...

The "largest landmass Bethseda Game Studios has ever created for post-release content." That's big.

One of the nice things about the G2 series, among others, is that there are custom color sleeving options available, from both the original manufacturer and from aftermarket vendors, that completely replace the stock PSU cables. If you want the interior of your build to be seen, this can make...

Is the street price expected to drop? I hope so, because I'd be otherwise concerned that they're planning to phase out the G2 series, which is better, fully modular and very close in price.

I assume that this is in reference to gaming? If so, I think that the first question that you have to ask is whether or not you have the hardware to drive the higher resolution monitor. If you do, go for it. If not, you'll need to factor in those upgrades as well.

If you've got the PCI-E connectors, I wouldn't worry about it.

Elsewhere in the WWW, many are concerned about YouTube's Content ID, which can yank down a live stream if it thinks that there's some IP infringement going on. If it happens enough to even be a little annoying, the endeavor is going to flop.

It has been a long time since I have seen such a whiny article with so little justification for said whining.

I take it that you haven't made it to Econ 101 yet?

Sign me up,

I DLed the developer preview. It's nice. Voice recognition is leaps and bounds better than previously and I'm already developing a habit of leaning on reminders ("remind me to check the stove in 8 minutes..." I've also set a few location-based reminders, but haven't actually been out and about...
