Meh, This CyberMonday is a bit shit tbh, hand full of outstanding deals but the rest are like so meh....

Nothing overly spectacular. I was tempted by a 960GB SSD for £150 but then again i dont really need one. Was hoping a 980Ti might go up on offer but the best ive seen is a reference 980 and 960. complete and utter bullshit. very lackluster

I wasnt able to much over black friday as i was working so i hoped id be able to make up for it.

Also. I dont think people would like the idea of glorifying a guy who tried to blow up parliament by having a massive sale. letting off fireworks is one thing (gunpowder plot etc etc) but massive retail sales?

 

[dorsetknob]

Most people are muppets get big buisness to promote a day with massive sales and they think with their wallet not their conscience.

But it's different you know? Of course we all welcome the low prices, but half the fun is the stampede at the stores and the UK's just missing out because everyone sits at home and orders stuff off amazon!

Think of all the crazy videos that you see every year of animals--er people, I mean--rampaging through Wal-Mart on Black Friday

Yeh every one loves a stampede especially the poor sots at the bottom of the pile
Do you know how much damage that 400lb buffalo wearing stillettos in a stampede can do

then you have to worry is that Ashole armed with a gun and is he/she going to fling lead because you grabbed the last fucker

" Rant over"

Also for those who are interested - Amazon are still doing a lot of Internet Security/AV suites for cheap. I bought a kaspersky user license for 5 users/devices for £15 which is CHEAP. Its £22 for the 1 year and 3 device license.

So far ive seen, Norton, AVG & of course Kaspersky. Ive bought kaspersky keys for as low as £12 for 3 users but those are becoming hard to find. for £15 for 5 though, you cant go wrong.

Go to the main page and go right to the bottom and look for 'Digital Deals'

I don't remember the last time I paid for AV.

Also feel apologetic after having to edit somebody's NPU news article referring to RAM as storage...

Saw that too, thought at first that it was a really old article speculating about a theoretical S830. How many new news guys are there on NPU?

Just the three of us, and the other chaps have been writing on there longer than I have - so none!

Defender on my main rig, and MSE on the streamer. Had Avast on both but it got super crappy with ads and stuff.

Extended military action in Syria - yes or no? Lots of good points made, also a lot of dilly dallying.

 

[Finners]

No for me, we are just working our agenda still trying to get assad out by strengthening all the other groups fighting whilst weakening IS.

Let the Russians blow the lot to kingdom come and keep their mate assad in power.

I would carry on bombing them in Iraq though,

But the problem with that is Russia is also attacking friendly forces who are opposed to and currently fighting ISIL. the UK are trying to help these factions fight ISIL but if Russia is bombing them Because they are enemies of Assad then that is a severe conflict of interest.

We've done 5000 airstrikes in Iraq, and over 3000 in Syria. What have we achieved? Not a lot, besides accidentally bombing a hospital. The solution isn't airstrikes. Airstrikes cost a substantial amount (a single missile costs almost a 100K), and don't actually do anything other than take out a single building/vehicle.

The reason for their ineffectiveness is because we can't bomb places like Mosul, the ISIS stronghold. We can't bomb it because it's full of civilians. If you can't destroy Mosul, then ISIS still exists (without Mosul they cannot claim to be a Kaliphate, if ISIS cannot claim to be a Kaliphate they under their own rules they're not allowed to exist). Bombing anything else is like emptying a sinking boat with a thimble. We can't bomb Mosul, and bombing anything else is entirely pointless and costs lots of money.

There is no "right" choice. We either bomb them and make France and the US happy (that's all this is, a political massage), or we don't bomb them and this little alliance between France and the other nearby EU countries think of us frugal typical British ponses.

I say we listen to the Syrians. They say they will deal with ISIS themselves, they don't want our help and they don't want our air support. The only thing they ask is that we stop the Assad regime from murdering it's own citizens. Catch is Assad doesn't listen to anyone unless they threaten military action (remember how he gave up his chemical weapons, only after we started annihilating his anti-air placements?). Catch is Russia is in the mix, so anything anybody does is hindered by their insanity.

 

[Finners]

Russia wouldn't have to bomb the people who we have armed and are backing they could simply stop fighting and Russia would stop bombinv them.

My underlying point is we shouldn't have any interests in Syria, was a stupid idea to supply these groups in the first place.

Turkey scored first blood. I guess they wont be getting any christmas cards from Russia this year.

Oh yeah that was both hilarious and ridiculous. The people stopping ISIS from invading turkey are the Kurds, who are pushing back ISIS whilst simultaneously being attacked by the Turkish military its all just a political shit storm

Then the Britian will be accused of sitting back and doing nothing, and then it becomes a humanitarian issue. ISILs hate will spread and it will send a message that ISIL is strong and will crush whoever that stands in their way. How long can Britain sit back and watch and wait while innocent people are slaughtered. What about france? what about Tunisia? and what about 7/11?

We can all sit back and wait but if we dont take the fight to them and keep them back then they will come to us and seek to destroy our way of life. You have the deal with the fire before it spreads.

::EDIT::

actually its already a humanitarian issue.
