I honestly can't seem to find the market segment that the 4 series is after that the 3 and 5 didn't already fill. Other than door counts, these cars already overlap pretty heavily (IMO).

1M: Smallest performance coupe M3: Midsize performance coupe M5: Full size performance sedan M6: Full size performance coupe 7 Series: Oversized sedan

So, ELI5, please.

I'm about to replace my nVidia GTS 250 with a GTX 760. I am changing nothing else in my PC at this time. What I'm looking for is a rather simple set of benchmark data and I was hoping the glorious PC master race could help.

What I'd like to capture:

  • GPU, CPU and Memory performance (% utilized, temperatures)
  • Min/Max/Average FPS
  • Logs this information in an easy to record or otherwise recall format

What I'd like to do:

  1. Run the benchmark against my current PC untouched.
  2. Run the benchmark against my current PC after properly cleaning out dust.
  3. Install the new GTX 760 and run the same benchmarks.

At this point, I'm not concerned about burn-in tests or super deep level tweaks an

You all have shown me the many attempts to expose large government corruption and unconstitutional behavior. You have also shown that the reporters who attempt to uncover it or simply pass along the truth from an insider seem to have a nasty habit of killing themselves. Sometimes that's not even enough so they shoot themselves in the head TWICE...

I'm a little fearful for the life of anyone charged with helping Snowden get this stuff in front of people's eyes.

I demo'd the Rift at the Ann Arbor VR Hack-a-thon. Despite those kids (they were young devs) only having 48 hours to develop a proof of concept, the experiences were awesome.

I'm a sim racer primarily and I have a home built PVC rig with racing seat, modded G27 wheel, pedals and shifter. I own most racing sims including Assetto Corsa which is easily the best sim that supports the Oculus Rift.

If you have a Rift but not a rig and want to see how immersive it can be, feel free to hit me up.

NOTE: I unfortunately do not have a DirectX 10.1+ graphics card (GTS 250 is 10.0) so Assetto Corsa doesn't render things like grass or trees well for me. The driving itself is still excellent.

r/Detroit•

This is just an opinion post and I'm hoping to spark reasonable conversation. Please don't just quote the Bible and leave.

My idea is to make Detroit similar to Amsterdam. Amsterdam is a well-known tourist destination around the world. Why? People go there for sex and weed. Now, marijuana is actually not legal there but merely tolerated in some kind of legal limbo (more info welcome).

Marijuana: Colorado and Washington expect massive jolts to their economy (estimates as high as $1 Billion) due to the industry around legal marijuana. From head shops, weed cafes, artisan weed edible goods, growing, sorting, packaging and running small businesses of all types to support this activity. It'

I'm fairly sure my IT hosting company will be doing an IPO within a year or two. We do critical application hosting, support outsourcing, the works. Other companies that do this are pretty big though we're a medium sized business on the rise.

As an employee, it's likely that I'll be able to buy in to the IPO at a certain discounted rate but I would doubt without terms.

Most of the .COM bubble was tied to companies that barely existed. They had techy sounding names and so they went up 700% or whatever over night but by the time the regular employees were able to sell they weren't worth hardly anything or the company dissolved leaving the owners rich and the employees with nothing.

I purchased a ticket through Delta with miles but I have since canceled the card. I know the ticket will be good to go but what about checked bags? Is there a way to get any of the card reward with an award ticket but not being a card holder anymore? Will they see my ticket as an award ticket and assume or is it one of those things where they'll ask me when checking in for the card? I'm technically still a frequent flyer with Delta, have my account number and some miles left but don't have the card itself.

As Chase appears to be harder to churn (more than once), I had a question about adding additional people to a card. The standard sign-up bonus is 40k plus 5k for adding an additional card holder.

If, for example, I signed up and added her would she then be ineligible to sign-up for a separate card later and then add ME as the named person?

Is it better to sign-up at different times completely separately and be happy with just the 40k points each?

Bonus Question: Do most CC companies care about separate accounts to the same address (over a short period of time or otherwise)?

I was all gung-ho about these as well until I found out that the cap isn't $1500 in cashback but rather $1500 in PURCHASES. This means that the maximum value this card will ever earn you is $75 per year.

Almost any proper rewards card would beat $75 worth of reward per year.

Am I missing something?

EDIT: Apparently it's per quarter or $300 cashback value per year, assuming you max the categories.

EDIT2: I get it now, guys. Thanks to all.

I recently heard that jetBlue (Jet Blue) seems to do non-stop flights from my local metro airport which I previously thought only Delta did. Delta has a good track record with their flights, safety, etc. However, their website is horrible and they have odd policies.

For Example:

  1. They group round-trip tickets into one price. When you select the outgoing flight it gives you the total price of both flights. However, this can change depending on what flight you select coming back. This is confusing and doesn't really make any sense.

  2. They do not change the number of rewards points it costs based on current ticket price. Delta will charge you, for example, 40k points for a flight when the
