:cry: so young too :(

yes and with so much potential.. coming off a 40 goal season and an allstar appearence, won all star game mvp even. now hes probably gonna miss this entire year, and then he may be facing jail time after that.. and then hes got to live with that all his life, killing a team mate and friend.. like everyone else, i feel for him as a person, but as an atlanta thrashers fan, its a damn shame, hopes were so high going into this season

If Snyder had been wearing his seatbelt he would most likely be alive.

Well the car was ripped in half. I'm sure a seatbelt could have dealt different results, but they would have both been seriously injured if not killed whether a belt was used or not

They were both incredible hockey players. So young with so much potential. May Snyder R.I.P. and though the death may be Heatley's fault, may he make a swift recovery and deal with this in the best possible way. We don't need to lose another person to this tragedy.

Ruining a Ferrari is one thing. To ruin two lives is devestating, especially those so young and talented.

Snyder was considered to be a very good up and coming player. He was at the top of the list of many scouts as being one of the next great players in the NHL, possibly a solid second line center for the Thrashers eventually, he hadn't even played a full season yet, a tragedy.

Heatley, by far, was gonna become a superstar, possible 50+ goal seasons in the future, multimillionare, but now, who knows, the judge may let him go with his mind in a daze, who knows, Snyder's family probably has some say in that, but it's gonna be tough for Heatley.

Heatley and Snyder were best friends... I'm not sure how Snyder's family will react. I think they were both probably enjoying the moment in the Ferarri, though, to be honest. But that's just what I think.

I am a Blues fan but also a hockey fan in general. I feel for both families with regards to the accident. The pictures really bring home how horrible that accident must have been. Its amazing that either one of them made it through that.

It would be a class act to retire Snyders jersey...I hope Atlanta does the right thing.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      They used AI based TOOLS to convert the JavaScript engine (the main rendering engine is still C++) and it was not fully automated but was human reviewed. Other subsystems will be looked into to also be converted to Rust in the future. I have no problem with any of that.
