I'd love to see a size comparison with an R9 290x or the GTX 780 Ti.  I've got one of each in separate systems and I don't understand how a video card could get much bigger.  They're already frickin' huge.

You guys might not be huge Top Gear nerds, but Mere and I have watched it religiously for years.  Jeremy Clarkson, one of the show's hosts and arguably the driving force behind it, has just been sacked by the BBC.

He threw a punch at a producer a couple weeks back, so it's somewhat hard to argue that he didn't deserve this, but it's undoubtedly the end of Top Gear as we know it.  It'll be interesting to see where he lands.

(...POWERRRRR!)

Yeah, I would have canned him too.  BBC didn't really have a choice.  Nonetheless, it's sad to see Top Gear come to an end (at least as we know it), even if Clarkson absolutely deserved it.

I am a Top Gear fanatic. This upsets me   Clarkson was way out of line... but.. sigh.

It would be neat if Netflix picked up all 3 presenters for a new, but similar show, as the internet seems to believe.

If you haven't checked out the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, it's pretty classic and funny.  I'd give it two or three eps to grab you but I'm glad I binged on it.

Just finished Going Clear that is on the FTP server and HBOGo.  It is a really great documentary.  Covers everything about Scientology and wow, does it destroy that cult utterly.

160 lawyers vetted it and are on standby for HBO in case lawsuits come out.

Give it a watch!

I'm not sure what all this means but anytime Bloomberg is confused points to high market volatility.

I think just the fact that Facebook can overshoot the 100 year old GE company in 12 years and that the Fed (the criminal organization) hasn't raised interest rates in years and more and more people "disappearing" from unemployment numbers points to some not good things approaching.

My prediction is that college tuition is the next big bubble to burst and I'm giving it 7 years to burst...if not sooner.

Thought the link had some interesting items so I'm putting it here.

Meredith and I watched this a couple days ago.  I can't speak for her, but I couldn't agree more.  If anything, I thought it was somewhat embarrassing that Jellico temporarily inherited such a broken crew.  Sure, the Federation fleet isn't primarily intended to be a military force, but considering the amount of conflict that occurs in the series you'd think they'd be able to get their act together in a hurry.
