If I didn't work for a Non-Profit I'd be fucking pissed as I just bought a TechNet Plus subscription. Thankfully through Techsoup (non-profit software site) it only cost $42.00. Still lame though, but whatever. Does anyone know if they killed MSDN as well?

Best bet is to downloadSQL ExpressandManagement Studio. After you get those setup gohereand download the 2008R2 version of the Adventure Works database. This should be a decent setup for you to test queries, build views, or whatever. Quick tip I have for you is to be careful when updating...

Can't wait to hear all the stories of people shouting "Xbox Off!" at the start of each match to disconnect Kinect users.... Also can't believe they can't include the cheap ass headset with a console price of $500.00. Surely somebody at Microsoft must realize that no matter how fast you are with...

It's hard to mute people....

This was my thought given how little chatter there has been about it. I intend to skip Xbox this generation, but if every game has dedicated servers I definitely wont.

Ok maybe now that you brought this up someone can answer my previous question. If Microsoft is providing Azure for dedicated game servers on Xbox live, then won't every online game have dedicated servers? That to me seems like a huge bonus for Xbox.

Keep seeing rumors of dedicated servers via Azure for all Xbox games after the wired article that came out. Does anyone here have some insight on this? I really don't want to support Microsoft but dedicated servers for all the FPS games would be killer.

Yeah, after seeing the limits of the plan I don't even get why they scraped it. If anything people might share a digital game and then their buddy ends up buying it because he got sucked in after an hour of playing.

Yeah I'm sure developers just want to make some coin on the secondary market so us poor saps who purchase games new don't have to pay as much... That's definitely why Microsoft put in the DRM "feature".

Major domino action in effect. Already have friends saying they are ditching Sony for the One now which of course makes being loyal to Sony more difficult since I'd like to play online with my same crew... Was really hoping Sony would crush them, but I guess MS wised up to fast.

Just stayed up late again to finish this bitch off. Awesome game! So many different things I could say, but the biggest thing is the character development. As others have said you actually care about the characters. They did a really good job at capturing all aspects of being human in that type...

Probably want to keep Microsoft in the dark, and try to keep PS3 units moving before the release.

It's amazing how quickly you can lose a fan base. Just weeks ago my friends and I had assumed we'd all be getting the next gen Xbox. At this point none of us are getting it, and we have PS4's on preorder. We likely would've been loyal to the Xbox brand for many years to come had they not pulled...

Can get two on Walmart.com as well. If you order separately on Newegg it will go through unlike Amazon, but who knows if they will cancel them later.

This is really crazy to me. I honestly thought Microsoft would stay the course for this gen of consoles and just push Sony out of the market, but instead they gave Sony the perfect way to get back into the market! Just pre-ordered my PS4 from Amazon as well.

Cartoon completely reminds me of my high school experience regarding WoW. Got into beta late Junior year and pretty much played all the time. Random people at school would make snide comments like I was a super nerd or some shit, and now I run into them years later and they are all eager to play...

Yeah, I actually had a pretty verbose explanation of Blizzards decline written up, but said screw it. The point was pretty much made with the D3 example.

Right... because its not as if Blizzard could easily create a new type of character akin to selecting "Hardcore" that doesn't have either auction house available.... Nope, not possible! It certainly wouldn't give any indication of how many people liked the auction house vs. disliked it either...

Holy shit people... At what point can we just say shit happens and move on? Lets pretend there is some sort of Tornado suit that will protect you from any Tornado in the world. Would you guys clamoring for a super bunker go out and drop XXX$ per suit to protect against the very remote chance a...

Right, because coming onto a forum and saying "you should like this because we do" really convinces people to stick with it. If anything I would think the half arrogant blue responses to poorly made design decisions would garner more animosity for Blizzard and drive subscribers away not retain them.

What I find funny about the entire situation is that since Vanilla people have been bitching about stupid shit (just as the example you posted with double gating gear), and yet they continue to defend it when they know damn well they are going to change it at the very next opportunity. It just...

Office 365 SharePoint isn't free, but definitely has all the features you'd want and more. 2013 has made downloading and uploading files even easier as well with the ability to drag and drop folders to and from document libraries.

My thoughts exactly. Does a vigil really ease the burden of eleven years of rape, and forced abortions? I can't even imagine living in that environment. Holy fuck I would've killed myself so fast, and if that wasn't possible I would've been severely mentally handicapped from banging my head into...

Uhh wtf.. It's not as if they knew she was a sex slave in a basement for the past decade. My question would be how long did they search, where did they search, what else did they do? You have to move on at some point and if they were posting flyers and crap for say a year or two then at a...

Who knew Tony was going to start outsourcing production of his suits to China... Mass quantity and built like shit! I'd of preferred to have seen this one on Red Box, and this is coming from someone who enjoyed pretty much all other Marvel Films.

Yeah I completely agree. To be honest even in Vanilla the level of animosity I had towards the Horde was more directed at the opposing elite guild, and their better players when doing Battlegrounds and such. At this point I feel less compelled to care because of cross sever everything. There is...

Yeah... I have to say I never really understood why any game maker decides to go with factions that can't associate with each other. Really creates nothing but headaches in the long run.

Definitely can vouch for the 100M/300FT limitation. If you want to test it feel free to go buy a 1000FT box from Home Depot for Lowers for $75.00 and put an end on both sides then try to get connectivity through it.. wont work.

That's crazy. I've never had a big issue with an OS service pack. I'm somewhat tepid about Exchange, SharePoint, and stuff like that, but generally if you even wait a few weeks you can see any issues caused by the service packs. At this point though I would think everyone would want SP1 for R2...

Update time! Girlfriend didn't work Wednesday, made 76.00 on Thursday, 84.50 on Friday, and a whopping 160.00 tonight (highest ever). All shifts were 7-8 hours, and remember that's just tips. Factoring in minimum wage her lowest average was 18.69 an hour and the highest being 29.19. Pretty...

Yeah, understandable you don't have a response. Even if she was paid no hourly wage she would've made $13.35 an hour at a buffet where tips are much lower than your average restaurant.

Totals are in... $93.50 in tips on a 7 hour shift of which there were no customers for the last hour..... Factor in the $9.19 minimum wage, and you're looking at $22.54 an hour for picking up plates, and cleaning the floor. This isn't calculating that she only reported $16.00 in tips (since you...

Source is here. Googled this out of boredom. Love it!

He has three kids and a wife man. He was pretty open about his lack of money when customers stopped showing up. The primary reason I mentioned him is because he stated the same thing the picture did which is "If you can't tip, don't eat out", and literally months later had to quit his job due to...

LOL! Well my girlfriend (who is bengali & 20 years old) went to work at 3:30PM. It probably helps that she is extremely cute (especially for a shit hole like Old Country), but I will give you an update on her tips for the night. It's generally around $40-80 on a weekday, and $100 plus on...

I can't even begin to comprehend the rationale. I heard the same exact thing from my buddy "Man, you don't know the stress of not knowing your paycheck"... What stress? You know your paycheck is going to be at least minimum wage. What are all the servers out there trying to decide? If they...

Wait, you mean to tell me that you, and all your buddy waiters don't think to yourself "We sure make damn good money for the minimal level of skill this job requires!"? Well of course you fucking don't idiot! That's not how the human mind works. Even morons on welfare feel they are a special...

Well we can agree on some things then. I do tip, but only when the service is actually good, and I have a major axe to grind after hearing people like my friend Matt brag about bringing in $200.00 just in tips ($3.00 more than I make in a day as a Jr. Sys Admin) only to continue talking and...

Right. I'm certain that all the hostesses of the world making minimum wage are just crying about their promotions to server. It's really difficult to make up that wage gap from $2.50 to $7.00 an hour. There's also the fact that whether or not you're afraid to confront your employer for the...

Once again dude. Good for you. You are completely missing the point. The fact of the matter is if servers were ALWAYS tipped 15% they would make more than 90% of this forum. If you actually think that's realistic, you need to get your head out of the clouds. There is a reason people fight for...
