    They are the same. NVidia makes the GTX750 chip. An MSI one is just MSI slapping that chip on a board and selling it. EVGA slap the chip on a board and sell it. Its the same fucking thing and you could have fucking worked that out for yourself. If you really want input, EVGA sometimes overclock them, sometimes MSI overclocks them, you can work out the difference for yourself, want more input? Never had any reliability issues with EVGA myself, never tried MSI, reviews would answer that one, you can find those for yourself.

    Now I am going to go and make an independent thought on what I need to get from the supermarket for my packed lunch for work tomorrow and to finish off dinner tonight.

    Just buy whichever of the two is cheapest. They are both 750's the silicon lottery will probably account for more than the cooler will between those two cards.

    Take that into account when making this decision for yourself.

    You walked right into that one, you're asking another question even by saying this.


    Do YOU think you care?

    So it's illegal to have a weapon on your or in your car in the U.K.? Huh.
    The heaviest thing that I have loose in the passenger compartment of my car is a 1 inch thick book. Sometimes I keep a toolbox in the trunk which has a pretty good sized ratchet in it, but it hasn't been in there for the past week or so. My trunk is completely empty.
    I don't ever feel threatened while driving and I never do anything to make people mad.
    If someone were trying to attack me, I'd lock the doors and make use of my 4,000lb steel box for necessary offensive or defensive action.

    Honestly the flashlight is primarily there in the event I need a flashlight, its just on the subject of weaponry in vehicles, yeah my flashlight may be suitable for clubbing someone with. Its a pretty bright one so rather excellent for its role as a flashlight.


    But yeah. Arming yourself in the UK generally does not happen. You can carry a folding or retractable utility blade under 3" in length, although it may not have a locking mechanism (which therefore excludes a conventional stanley knife) for no actual reason, however should you be searched by a police officer they will usually query why on earth you have it and try to pin something on you.

    Self defense is not a thing here, seriously, someone attacks you, yeah you can disable them hand to hand only and restrain until police arrive, they shoot at you and you stab them in the chest, you will be charged for manslaughter, retarded. Firearms in public is immediate armed response.

    The only excusable exceptions to knifes in public are when you can provide a genuine valid reason. If you are transporting a load of fishing gear and you have a gutting knife you will be excused. My work knife, my car was searched recently (did I post about that?) and my work knife was found, I was asked why I had it to which I replied that its the box cutting knife I use at work, the total blade length is within 3", it is retractable, it does not lock (its spring loaded to retract), its extended length is under 1". Nothing more was said on that matter, especially considering it was with my work boots and high vis jacket.
    Having a handgun on the front seat ready for gangsta wannabes, you're going down. Firearms in cars are transport only, advisable to bring your paperwork with you on that one.

    Now I'm done with the cop career of Rivals.
    I think it was way to easy, espacially the last mission though.
    It took me 30 seconds to get it done.
    So, I guess now that I'm done with that, I can start the racer career.

    I've never thought of carrying blunt objects in my car, and I suppose that it couldn't be too bad of an idea. I know a few people living near the border that keep a handgun in their glovebox, though I doubt that would really be necessary (I don't personally own a gun, and I don't have plans on buying one). If anyone started chasing me, I'd probably just drive to a busy parking lot or police station and try to keep moving. The only thing that could be classified as a weapon in my car is a tire iron, some toe ropes, and a pair of jump leads, though I'll keep a heavy flash light in the back in the case that I need one. :p

    Anyone knows how to put Windows on a Android x86 tablet? Getting one soon, and would prefer Windows over Android. (tablet in question is a Tesla L7)

    Hey I'll get it for dirt cheap (something like 0.5€ monthly for 24 months) and it has a Atom that is weaker than my S400 and 2GB of RAM. Even though I think Windows and WP are inferior to Android, I'll try to get around with it.

    You do have to consider the whole AMD versus Intel thing though. It too applies to an Atom versus a snapdragon. There are many technologies at work in the x86 chips to accelerate performance somewhat and they do work well, although snapdragon then has the bonus of RISC. A decent compiler these days can usually achieve better performance on a RISC type architecture than CISC.



    We have 2 Tesco Hudl 2 tablets. Android on x86, fucking solid. Battery is only thing to really watch for.
