if you're a non professional, just borrow a color probe from somewhere , and calibrate whatever ips monitor you have at home, and it'll be fine..

Ask around , specially the at-home photography guys, they all have these probes, because it's the cheapest pro-photography tool they can buy, which ...

Facebook has a very specific purpose.

It reduces the time cost to maintaining relationships/ creating new ones.

For young people it's the primary way of mate selection..



For people in mid-age, or heading into it, they may already have a mate, or have abandoned looking for one.. :mrgreen ...

I don't care about gaming but I do care about photo editing. For this OLED is a game changer as it allows a wider color gamut than anything else out there.

OLED does not have a larger color gamut, it has higher CONTRAST only.

Most LCDs actually produce wider gamut than current OLED.. reason ...

Well the upcoming analog switches are gonna make most keyboards of today obsolete..

So.. kind of a pointless discussion..

INcidentally ,, this is also why OLED is total crap for gaming.. because it doesn't have the ability to be backlight blanked, as it produces it's own light, it can not ever achieve the motion clarity of ULMB.. it will always have some ghosting..

We're still 10 years away from an OLED monitor that ...

ULMB is night and day difference.. Fast motion is almost completely clear..

The one disadvantage of ULMB is that on the fastest setting (there are levels you can set), the screen is much more dim, so you can't use it in a room that's brightly lit.. But you can use the 10% setting, while not as ...

I love the form factor around 30" 16:10, perhaps with some 20" 3:4 on the sides (they're quite cheap these days). It provides enough horizontal space for multiple at least 1200px-wide windows, and I appreciate the 1600px height (more rows of text).
This is exactly what I was thinking about doing ...

4K + IPS + ULMB

As soon as they make that, it's the feature set to jump in on.

Ever since they ditched PCI, all my old cards are not obsolete.. I know they have an Adapter, but I tried it, the power it was delivering wasn't very clean for some reason..

The First game wasn't very intuitive, and the puzzles felt very bolt on.. they seem to gel well with the First Person feel..

I tried the demo, Felt like much the same..

Bourbon drinkers I know sometimes employ stone or ceramic frozen cubes to cool their drinks without diluting them.

I've tried the stones, doesn't get very cold.. and it's slow

But I've heard those beads with phase change liquid inside does work..

However, those beads are metal, which would ...

as soon as you put in a ball of ice, you'd get much more than a drop of water though..

Thanks so much Mu for allowing the thread to continue with more clarity..

people keep asking me to close/delete this thread.

you understand that if you just stop replying there wouldn't be an argument here.

please prove the world DT's maturity, stop feeding the trolls and have this thread go automatically into the oblivion.

Hi matt3o, I had no intention of thwarting ...

what does the water do? create texture as the liquid hits the tongue mixed unevenly ?

Room temp, always. With rocks, usually at first. But the furious wee bars we have over here will usually melt it in a few minutes.

When I'm setting the tempo myself, in quiet surroundings, neat, from bottle straight to glass. No fuss.

Yea that's why I mentioned I'm going to CNC an iceball maker ...

I am not strong enough personally for room temp on whisky..

vodka/ rum i can handle, things like tequila, whisky, the flavor overwhelms me..

On the rocks, vs chilled, vs room-temp ..

what say ye.

Negligent misrepresentation. Since, though you complain that the usage of verbiage is of no use, but keep insisting scam, when it's clear what was meant, I tried to get you to agree to a term. But, again, you didn't read the whole thing, or just outright dismissed it.

What we have above is ...

Hahahaha.. that was most likely bonus swag.. Did he ONLY receive a pack of cigarettes.. I recall he got other stuff , though yea, again wrong stuff..

There was no resolution available for me but to get my money back. Which I have done. His transaction was with me, and has nothing to do with random other guy on the internet, no matter whom that should be. His records were woefully incomplete if he didn't even know how much money he'd taken in ...

He said himself that there was the $2000 budget for shipment and settlements.

He said himself that he was coordinating and planning a solution to the issue..

That does not make them facts. If you can prove those claims, feel free to do so. If all you can do is repeat shit, you are wasting my ...

I cleaned a couple of intellimice a little while ago. They were heavily used and nasty dirty. Took them completely apart, once you remove a couple of screws in the bottom you can really disassemble the mouse nicely. All parts except for the one controller/optical PCB went into the dishwasher at 50 ...

Again, and again, you attack the person instead of the argument.


. And be above board about your involvement, and your affiliations, and your motivations.





All of your arguments devolve to a dispute against the prose of my language..

You have yourself not presented any facts to indicate ...

Way to make a mess of the place.

I don't think this thread would remain the Top topic if you guys did not bump it so often..

You can't deny responsibility in that.. hahahahaha..

It was not my intention to upset the status quo here..

Inside your head. Would have the same impact, but without annoying people half the world away over none of their business.

Hmm. With all this film noir style tipping going on, I almost give a shit who it is!

Well, almost. Ooh, look, a butterfly!

I am definitely against deleting this thread.
As Matt_ says, close it, but do not delete it - that would be much too GHish.


I believe the thread should stay open, because I am here to answer and explain and unravel any lies generated by --Rootwyrm--

Where is this guy? I am not aware of him at DT. And I don't think we have any role to play as hosts for external grievances.

He has an account here:

You've already made your 'case' . Why should you be against closing the thread? That way the information that you wanted to preserve is still there, and the unproductive conversations can end. Seems like a win/win to all.

No, I have not finished.. Until --Rootwyrm-- redact his untrue statements ...
