I can't wait until our top end PCs will look like overpriced pieces of ***** compared to the stuff that will be available later.

#11 to #2 - morebuckets (08/17/2015) [-]

They do...every single year

#20 to #11 - thebaseballexpert (08/18/2015) [-]

a couple of bucks does not compute to "over priced pieces of **** "

the same computer components i bought almost 2 years ago are only collectively $300 cheaper now than they were. Considering my whole system cost ~$1400, it's really not as significant as 30 year to go from $6000 to $1400

#36 to #20 - anon (08/18/2015) [-]

You mean $6000 to less than $100 because those parts would cost less than $100 together if you could even still find them.

#54 to #20 - morebuckets (08/18/2015) [-]

It's only been a year, and my computer has already dropped like 700 dollars in value

#28 to #20 - colegaleener (08/18/2015) [-]

haaaa I spent 650 and I can probably outperform you

#30 to #28 - lordcuntdestroyer (08/18/2015) [-]

#29 to #28 - twondai (08/18/2015) [-]

that's quite a broad assumption
what are your specs?

#32 to #29 - colegaleener (08/18/2015) [-]

i3-4160, asus h87 something or other, gtx 960 2gb, 8 gigs of 1600 mhz ram

okay maybe not totally outperforming you but im happy with what I have

extremely happy

#33 to #32 - colegaleener (08/18/2015) [-]

and btw it was a z97, not h87. my baaad.

#48 to #32 - masterjogi (08/18/2015) [-]

i7-4970k, msi 97 gaming 5, titan x, 32gb ram, eat **** , 800€

#51 to #48 - colegaleener (08/18/2015) [-]

haha yeah right. you must have gotten the five finger discount if you spent less than 1000 usd on that. a titan x alone is 1500 usd.

#53 to #51 - masterjogi (08/18/2015) [-]

no but i got the titan as a promotin article last gamescom

#52 to #28 - thebaseballexpert (08/18/2015) [-]

I swear. PC elitists are the worst kind of people. "PCs are much better that platforms", "I spent less and can out perform you", "AMD is only for cheap builds that suck in every aspect"

Do I care that you spent less than me and can out perform my system? I couldn't care less.

#55 to #52 - colegaleener (08/18/2015) [-]

you do, though. you care enough to comment.

back in the early 70's my grandpa was a contractor for the army and he worked with computers.
and he always tells this story about the day they got the new 5K drive, and all of the programmers he worked with were all wondering how in the world they were going to fill up a 5k drive.
now i hear they are announcing a petabyte hard drive and im just like, how in the world am i going to fill up a petabyte drive.

weird how stuff does that.

#12 to #8 - morebuckets (08/17/2015) [-]

>PB hard drive

Hard drives have begun maxing out at ~30 TBs, it's flash storage from here on out until IBM gets that magnetic drive working

#23 to #8 - misterred (08/18/2015) [-]

Well, we have much more porn now

#10 to #8 - fragman (08/17/2015) [-]

except it's not weird and like 10 years ago we couldn't imagine to use terabyte disks... I already know I'd probably fill a 1 PB disk within one year of purchase

#38 to #10 - anon (08/18/2015) [-]

How much porn do you download a day!? Jeez you probably hooked a flesh light up to a fan to Jack you off.

#44 to #38 - mondominiman ONLINE (08/18/2015) [-]

Some guy did that once, twisted his dick. He even took pictures, **** was gross

#42 to #38 - fragman (08/18/2015) [-]

remember when the best movie quality available used to fit on a DVD?
Or when a game had 2 install CDs?

Not only the space we get increases, the amount of data for standard use also increases similarly quickly.

I have over 300 porn pics and it's like 90 mbs. I really don't use a lot of space.

She's a little to happy after her city was just bombed, don't you think? Some people just want to watch the world burn.

#19 to #9 - artyomthebadass (08/18/2015) [-]

She won't happy for long. Coming out into ground zero she will most likely suffer the effects of "the atomic plague" and more than likely died several weeks after this photo

#21 to #9 - sugoi (08/18/2015) [-]

She's just relieved that no one will know she left the stove on.

False. This is Malcom X and Liam Neeson

#24 to #18 - misterred (08/18/2015) [-]

No. These are Liam Neeson and Denzel Washington

#50 to #24 - hubbob (08/18/2015) [-]

No its toejam and earl. Ten racist points If you guess which one earl is.

Forget his fake legs. Look at his glorious hair!

#56 to #6 - husiuro (01/03/2016) [-]

His? I thought the kid was a girl. The kid looks so much like a girl.

#49 - anon (08/18/2015) [-]

It'll be interesting to see how entitled kids nowadays will react to WWIII.

dont suppose somone with photoshoping skills would do the dramatic fade face to the Nagasaki woman survivor

#34 - heenoking (08/18/2015) [-]

The guy playing football with Bob is Jimi Hendrix fyi...

#31 - sirlorge (08/18/2015) [-]

So Fidel Castro absolutely looks like Liam Neesons in that second pic, right?

#27 - xxjmacxx ONLINE (08/18/2015) [-]

Is it just me or does Fidel in the last pic look like Liam Neeson and Shia had a baby?

#22 - underthelaw (08/18/2015) [-]

**underthelaw used "*roll picture*"**
**underthelaw rolled image**This may be random but would anybody know what mournful songs would be played on an accordian?

#17 - FuckYouFatBen (08/17/2015) [-]

And Jimi Hendrix. How an we forget Jimi Hendrix in that picture!

Yes the London Bookstores had it har during world war 2. just google Dresten 45 and this bookstore seems fine.

#14 to #7 - morebuckets (08/17/2015) [-]

This image is to show what happened, it's not saying "oh my god look at these poor souls blah blah blah"

#16 to #14 - flemmi (08/17/2015) [-]

I not saying that this picture is not sad but if OP wanted to use a picture about the second world war this is pretty low on the scale. She is still able to read her book. still alive. the shop is not burned out it looks like just a wall is missing. During the war entire cities were razed. But OP used this picture to show the victims of the "Luftkrieg" someone who is barely damaged in the overall picture.

thats why i feel that the picture is not the best choice. OP could have had more than that.

#25 to #16 - anon (08/18/2015) [-]

it's just to give a perspective...
it's not about showing the worst outcomes as a result but looking into the world at the time. We've all seen more of the nasty stuff. The pictures with people going about their lives are just as intriguing.
