  1. I feel dumb for asking this. But is a 6ms response rate on a monitor even noticeable?

      (key word being dynamic as opposed to static). You basically have to judge the ms rate on a company to company basis. :( That being said... We have tons of smart people on this forum that can help with advice if you have some particular monitors in mind (Asus is personally my favorite company to purchase monitors from when I'm on a budget).

      Yes and no... When they say that the response time is 1-5ms, 99% of the time they mean the grey to grey time (as opposed to the old black to white system that actually MEANT something). Unfortunately there is no industry standard set for the g2g response time so each company makes up their own (so they can basically say their response time is whatever they want). You also see companies doing the same thing when they claim to have a "dynamic" contrast ratio of 50 million to one (key...

      Rofl... I was thinking the instrument because the mandolin is particularly hard on your fingers, lololol.

      I hate to say it cause I love having the security blanket that is a Paladin... But I'm surprised it took this long for them to make some changes.

  8. Apparently there's been tons of issues with Nvidia's newest 320.18. Avoid updating from 314 if u can. I think this is why my 770GTX is performing like shit.

      Figured it had to be either the new drivers or some coding clashing with your old ATI drivers. This is one of the downsides to being an early adopter, you occasionally have to deal with some buggy early release drivers. :(

      The 770 is an overclocked GTX 680 (with increased voltage from a bios flash) with better memory (most memory on a 770 has been able to overclock to 7ghz). Pretty awesome deal for $400 in my opinion. :D

  12. So I went to a bar the other night...left a $10 tip on $30 cuz it was an ultra dead night. On the way out the bartender said to her friend "thank god...he tipped horribly". Thoughts?

      Yep. We enjoyed knowing right off the bat we were serving someone who wasn't costing us money. We were taxed for 10% of our total sales, so any time someone stiffed us, it cost us.

      By the way... Standard drink tipping etiquette (from a bartender's point of view) is $1 per drink or 15% for any cocktail over $10.

      Most bartenders would be pretty happy with that tip. >.<

      I bartended for about 6 years and here's a pro-tip for everyone. If you're in an atmosphere where the bartender will remember you... Pre-tip. So in your case you'd give them the $10 when you ordered your first drink, then no tip for the rest. All the bartenders I've worked with preferred this and usually gave the customers who did this better service and stiffer drinks.

      Your mouse, monitor, and keyboard are the only real interaction you have with your computer. Nothing wrong with spending a little cash! I use a Filco Majestouch-2 Ninja myself. :)
