OP is asking about RX 480 vs GTX 1060, which is better if they are the same price and if holding for 3 years. OK the problem is, the RX 480 costs ~$20 more (3 years of power bills). If you got the RX 480 then you'd be paying an extra $20 for LESS performance than the GTX 1060.
Furthermore...
Multimonitor is 6W for the GTX 1060 vs. 40W for the RX 480. https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1060/24.html Idle and gaming load figures also available at that link (5 vs 15W; 116 vs 163W). Let's say the average difference is a mere 20W over 5 hours per day in a combination...
I have both a GTX 1060 6GB and a RX 470 4GB in my household (one for me, one for the wife).
- Ignore the "AMD is DX12 futureproof" hype
The reality is that NV has less improvement-room in DX12 than the AMD RX 480, but GTX 1060 is the faster card to begin with. So if AMD = 100 and NV = 110 in...
OK thanks. Moved. If that guy is still a mod after this I'm just going to quit like so many others have. Mods are supposed to be role models for forumers, and he is anything but.
I'm glad you found some people who were decent. Most American Muslims are. But Muslims themselves say "please don't lump all Muslims into one basket." There's a spectrum of beliefs and practices. http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-overview/

You call Brad's reply "thoughtful" right after claiming my proposals (which are much the same as Brad's, plus additional specifics) were unrealistic.
The reason why you called Brad's reply "thoughtful" despite being even less specific than mine, is because you wanted to attack me in the guise...
To be clear, I'm not saying attacks on mosques are justified. With few exceptions, American Muslims are not the problem; most are relatively secular by world standards.
That said... moot? That's a very US-centric attitude, yet not surprising. Americans will flip out over protests at mosques...
"Attack" you? Grow up and read what you wrote and the tone of voice you used and how utterly wrong you are. Don't even pretend like you made any points or are above it all. You wouldn't even acknowledge that you misread what I wrote.

I didn't say you didn't read any of the thread. I said you didn't read all of it as is clear from your not talking about education until I reiterated it. So get off your high horse.

Your tone of voice is unnecessarily condescending by implying anyone is "struggling" with your "request" (read: rude, condescending demand.) I mean, you write "Is that the best you got?" without reading everything, and expect anyone to want to answer you rather than put you on Ignore?

Why is this? If one decries hardcore fundamentalist cults/churches like Westboro Baptist (the infamous "GodHatesFags" church), many people are ok with that. But the same people rush in kneejerk "defenses" of Islam. Is it because they are ignorant? Do they not realize that Islam has not had...

The math is pretty simple: if you are not a hardcore Sunni, but still Sunni, then you probably choose Assad vs. the crazy nutcase foreigners who have invaded and destroyed your country.
If you aren't a Sunni, then your choice has been made for you, because the crazy Sunnis want to kill...
You asked about end game. Frankly, if you're a hardcore Islamist then the universe will never be at "peace" until all humans are Muslim. Look at it from their perspective--they think they are doing non-Muslims a favor by spreading the faith... they are saving us from hell. Of course, "peace"...
No. In the secular Western world, religion is compartmentalized and you can swap religion at will. But Islam is much more deeply embedded in a state's psyche and government apparatus, such as the Islamic religious police. Also, leaving Islam is punishable by death. I encourage you to ask...

You keep spouting straw men arguments, outright lying about my allegedly not responding to you (when in fact I did), and missing the larger point in your incessant pedantry.
Yes, you did give a straw man argument because you were speculating that if a Muslim raped a Swede then it was due to...
Now you're just making up a straw man. It's not about people raping in the name of Allah or any such nonsense. It's about mentality. Is it so hard to comprehend that if men come from countries where women are treated as chattel, the opportunity for "miscommunication" rises?

The question is not how high Sweden ranks relative to other countries, since definitions of rape vary. The question is, do Muslim immigrants to Sweden commit the Swedish definition of rape, at a rate higher than native Swedes?
Also consider this: it's SUPER, SUPER shameful to admit to being...
The article doesn't say that. This is what it says:
"A 1996 Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention report bears this out. It noted that Muslim immigrants from North Africa were 23 times more likely to commit rape than Swedish men. It is no wonder why today Sweden is deemed the rape...
Does not debunk. You take issue with the absolute numbers. That's not the point, the relative numbers are the point. Muslims went, crime rates went up, and when the rate of Muslim men raping Swedish women is more than 20x higher that of others, that says something.
You apparently didn't want...
Did you even read what I wrote? I wasn't blaming it on all Sunni Muslims. I explicitly called out Sunni fundamentalists, of which Wahhabism is part, both here and in my other posts. Want more? Have more.

No, *you* STFU. History did not start with French colonialism. Hint, Islam started in the 7th century. If you want to play the "let's go farther back in time" game then go all the way back.
