ElEmEnOhP··on Building a Lightroom PC
They included a $1499 monitor in the list as well, along with a $400 VESA arm mount, and hundreds of more dollars in accessories.

Overall, with your Silicon Mechanics build they'd probably be closer to a $8000 build. On top of that, a P4000 is pretty much a beefed up GTX1060, which gets smoked by a GTX1080TI if one is going for GPU performance. They're not really comparable builds.

ElEmEnOhP··on Vice News FCC Net Neutrality Vote Live Stream
Comcast could also just throw a 10 gig cap on your line regardless of whether net neutrality. It is not in Comcast's interest to cripple your internet usage as they'll just bleed customers to the wireless providers (who don't fall under net neutrality to begin with anyway).

I see the logic a bit with MIT's article, but at the same time most smaller startups are probably just piggy backing off of AWS anyway. Harvard business review has a good write-up here if you don't want a hyper-politicized Chicken Little take on it. https://hbr.org/2017/03/the-tangled-web-of-net-neutrality-an...

ElEmEnOhP··on Vice News FCC Net Neutrality Vote Live Stream
There will be no wake up call because nothing is really going to change for the end user. All of this slippery slope nonsense about a walled off internet is just hysteria stoked by social media.
ElEmEnOhP··on When the Revolution Came for Amy Cuddy
What does this have to do with gamergate? If you've never seen guy/gal on guy death threats/doxxing, then I'd say you're just being will fully ignorant.

Based on the fact they were targeting Sanders, Trump, and Stein voters I imagine they were probably just making money off of clickbait with advertisements on their pages. It was election season so naturally most of the clickbait farms transitioned into politics rather than 'how to get an 8-pack' or whatever other health/lifestyle garbage they were peddling before.
ElEmEnOhP··on More Americans Are Falling Behind on Student Loans, and Nobody Quite Knows Why
Correlating government debt (which is primarily owed back to it's citizens) to household debt is extremely disingenuous.
ElEmEnOhP··on The R. Kelly ‘cult’ story and the ‘Gawker Effect’
Probably because Gawker lost in the court of law for the horrible things they did. It also didn't help that Gawker editor A.J. Daulerio made that horrible quip as well. I doubt there was much need for "social media massaging" when you are dealing with Gawker.
ElEmEnOhP··on Windows 10 is making too many PCs obsolete
To be fair, those same Apple machines from 2009 that are compatible with Sierra are also compatible with Windows 10 since they didn't put a gimped Intel atom chip in them.
ElEmEnOhP··on Uber CEO Kalanick likely to take leave
That e-mail seems reasonable to me. I'm going to guess it has more to do with a death in the family than telling people not to vomit and to not get sexually involved with someone in their chain of command.
ElEmEnOhP··on Bugger: Maybe spies aren't very good at their jobs (2013)
He graduated from Wharton which is one of the most prestigious business schools in the country.
ElEmEnOhP··on Dead People Are Posting Anti-Net Neutrality Comments to FCC Website
Good luck with that, the current FCC chair was an Obama appointee. This has nothing to do with silly Russian conspiracy theories and everything to do with money.
ElEmEnOhP··on Yale Climate Opinion Maps
>The Republican President claims quite emphatically that it's a "hoax."

That was a joke made on twitter.

ElEmEnOhP··on [dead]
It looks like tech sites will be forever plagued with "sell your stocks and invest in <insert cryptocoin of choice here> due to impending doomsday" in the same way that radio is constantly telling you to sell your stocks and buy gold.
ElEmEnOhP··on In the US, we need a Muslim-Jewish alliance
The article read more like the author has serious beef with the ADL because they don't support legitimizing the fringe Hamas Palestinian government and wants a new Pro-Palestine Jewish group that will be more favorable to a 2 state solution.
ElEmEnOhP··on Microsoft Germany says Windows 7 already unfit for business users
Ad tiles aren't hard to get rid of in enterprise environments either.

You can remove all of the Windows apps with a powershell script, and then you just have to shove a modified start menu layout in the default profile before capping the wim file to roll out your installs from.

ElEmEnOhP··on Twitter fired its VR manager because of something he posted to Facebook in 2013
How is that any different than Clinton? She's talked about 'droning' people who oppose her viewpoints.
