also logitech started gluing their mice together at some point which makes it impossible to open them up and clean shit out of the wheel

Forward/back, sideways scroll and another one that I just discovered and I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the instructions.
The M100 was nice in that it was just one screw holding it all together so when I split milk all over it it was quick clean up.

And it is more than enough for someone who really doesn't game much (and definitely not high end games) but I do need something decent for work.
I do mapping work and that involves using really big pieces of data sometimes and playing with large UK datasets is a pain in the fucking arse with a shit PC.

is there an up-to-date source on these #'s? doing it manually isn't fun and it looks like driverdb hasn't been updated with the 2015 championship placings
anyways the FIA is clearly doing their job ensuring that everyone that enters F1 is a mid-twenties pay driver

there's more wrong with it than just that.
if you want to go with intel over amd for cpu that's a matter of choice, but if you're not really gaming, the better parallelism of amd's multicore system is better and more bang for the buck.
weird even so. it's like they gave you the meme-est build.
a friend of mine made the mistake of going on reddit and asking them for a build. I looked it as i was going to help him and I concluded that crowdsourcing often produces retarded results.

Swapped case out for a Fractal R5 because I love the design and the door is reversible.
Shoved in an optical drive just so I can keep the old PC intact for emergencies.
Price is now £1144
It's a bit over budget but I really don't care. I just want to hit buy and get this over with because I'm getting that weird feeling again in my stomach.

Plans to speed up 2017 F1 cars watered down after Pirelli concern
tl;dr nobody asked Pirelli if the 2017 regs were realistic and they have found themselves inside a aero-dominated feedback loop trying to find the magic 5 seconds
>more aero = more force on tires
>more force on tires = need higher pressure
>higher pressure = less grip
>less grip = slower lap times
>slower lap times = need more aero
GROUND EFFECT
There is definitely a middle ground to be found between rock tires and cheese tires. Engineer them so that the performance/degradation relationship is more predictable and drivers can choose between driving flat out and nursing the tires. Apparently the current construction won't work for the predicted loads so Pirelli needs more testing anyways.
