US economy - performance of Republican and Democratic administrations

„Everyone knows“ sounds like you have no sources and are just making stuff up.

US economy - performance of Republican and Democratic administrations

I read this some time ago and in light of the upcoming election I thought I post this to give people some information about their choices and start a discussion. As it seems, going back until WW2, under Democratic administrations the economy fares much better than under Republican ones. I find...

Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

And I thought we're having serious discussions here. Humans are much too selfish and quarrelsome to unite like that. Especially China is much more interested in Africa and its resources and as a market for Chinese goods.

Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

NATO is no defensive alliance. NATO has attack missiles in many European NATO countries. And it (and/or the US) has a history of attacking other countries as well (Serbia, Lybia, Syria) without UNO mandate. Or regime change...you name it. Please let's not make this completely one-sided. That...

Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

Hypothetical question: If Russian and Chinese troops were staged in Mexico, Cuba etc. what would the US do? It's much too simple to paint Russia as the only aggressor here. It doesn't justify beginning a war, but it explains why they feel threatened - and with good reason. Both sides should...

Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

I'm quite undecided on this. On the one hand there is NATO/US who expand ever closer to Russia. Then the "revolution" (read an article that it rather was a US-backed coup) in Ukraine. One can imagine Russia feels cornered. Remember the Cuba crisis? Why did the US flip out back then with the...

When was AMD / ATI last performance leader for singel GPU?

Depends on your point of view. Nvidia and AMD rarely had synchronized releases the past 5+ years. Go by "generational top tier" or look at the whole timeframe including lower tiers? Example: POV 1: - 7970 < 680 - 680 < 7970 GHz - 7970 GHz < Titan - Titan <= (?) 290X - 290X < Titan Black POV...

About mining, ethics and hipocrisy

RS, and when the price for the coins tanks like it has happened before (top for BC was for instance $800, not it stands at $400), what then? What if the government reglements cryptocurrencies because they feel threatened by it which could depreceate the value further? I find it highly...

About mining, ethics and hipocrisy

While I'm not partaking in the hardware game or its discussions anymore, I still read in the forums from time to time. One topic that has always bugged me is mining. I read of many people openly saying they are mining, buying lots of hardware to do so. Personally, I can understand the...

Ultrabook: Macbook Air 12 vs Zenbook UX305 vs ...?

It has the same problems as the other UX305's and also a fan which I don't want since I'm very picky about noise. What about stability once the display is opened? It doesn't stand on the two rearmost rubber feet as several reviews showed. And is working without a lit keyboard not too much of a...
