    Sound Engineering: PC or MAC?

    Get one at a store that has a return policy and see if it meets your needs. Or you can do what the last generation did and call or email the company and ask.

    The NSA watches you poop.

    I'm not making that argument, though, so leave that baggage at the door. He has no idea what the reaction or consequences are until he sets it in motion. He made the decision for us, much like the NSA did with their programs. If I were in Snowdens shoes, I would have kept my trap shut. If...

    Oh no, my megahurtz, they've been stoleded!!! I'm paranoid enough to run a virus scan now, thanks bro. Although WoW isn't really a trojan because I allow it to scan my ram for anything when i hit accept on the TOS.

    IDK man, even as kids we kinda figured it was monitored and played games typing things like "bomb" in our messages to be annoying to any would be monitors.

    You took an internet away from me and you dont even have a clue about how the telecoms are funded? Man, gimmie my internets back.

    Sure, its dramatic. Something less dramatic. The french get pissed at us and stop exporting goods and the price of Brie cheese goes up to $100 a wedge. I will fucking lose it if that happens, man.

    The NSA watches you poop.

    I didn't say it was right. I said it should be expected. Good thing Snowden made the choice for all of us by exposing it. If he was so unhappy about being recorded he could have commited suicide. But no, he'd rather potentially ruin the govt by exposing their wrong doings. Look I understand...

    I don't want to live in a world filled with assholes, but thats not in the cards either Snowden. The gov provides the highway, the gov monitors the highway. Why would you expect the internet to be any different?

    Windows 8

    I put windows 8 on my laptop and desktop. I had so many fuckin issues, even though I wanted to like it, I eventually reverted back. I'll wait till 8.1. Fuckin bullshit, setting up networked folders was a shit-storm, windows 8 wouldnt recognize my usb 3.0 thumbdrive (in bios it would) and...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Snowden could have been the guy behind the scenes that reset the password in AD when someone used the forgot password button on their FO intranet site. Technically that would be an admin, but it doesn't mean his access or priviledges on that system were unfettered. Now it could be true, if his...

    Looks good, however, I took a chance with MSI on the motherboard, and I am blown away by it. I've been an Asus guy for a really long time. Their GD and M-power series, I would atleast look at what they offer.

    Depends on how good the memory controller is. It is more work for it to see and use more DIMMS.

    Undetectably hack the dude who put his shit on his desk as he ran to the restroom bc of bad mexican at lunch? If it is at all possible for one guy to hack all this, you're telling me he's the only one in the world that could do it? The chinese could put together a team of 100 people to work...

    Laptop Computers

    Apple calls them fusion drives. They're being put to use a lot. Its a happy medium of cost and performance. You get decent space, decent performance in contrast to paying way more and having less space but getting tremendous performance.

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Yeah but contractors aren't normally "on-site" meaning they're remote in, meaning they're on a vpn. Also, xp is capable of using encrypted sessions. I mean, they could have some hella-bad intranet site and it can use SSL or something else. Thats not too hard to imagine. And if they...

    I've been living a lie this last year using the AMD-FX platform. I wanted to believe all I read on the web was hype and shill marketing. I decided to give it the pepsi challenge. I sold a lot of useless shit on ebay and used the cash to get into the haswell. My first good omen was, before I...

    Yup, its the poor execution from the highest authority that makes me uneasy. They're spying on us? Say it ain't so. I mean, I know its bad, but its not really a big deal to me personally. Inept dick swingers writing checks they can't cash while representing me...Now that has me concerned.

    Yeah most of this is people failures, not computer security protocol failures.

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Something to think about. If the security was shit-house enough for Snowden to get unfettered access, don't you think the ecosystem of that system would also be shit-house? Its hard to imagine a shitty security setup for a glorious unified government computer system in which Snowden could get...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    That whole fiasco is a failure on many, many levels. However, some govt computer systems and policies are top notch. At least, the ones I've had experience with. The nerdier ones.And if I recall, isn't the NSA the authority of computer security for the gov? Kinda ironic.

    The NSA watches you poop.

    I think Snowden was someone's useful idiot, and is distracting from some other plot or foul up they don't want going pub. Now the funny thing would be if this shadow master dude counted on snowden getting killed or jailed relatively quickly with little fallout or if any collateral damage done...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    So now that we've stated how insanely unlikely it is that he could get access on his own, it is much more likely that he was shown this information by someone with access. Or someone left a bunch of shit laying around intending for him to see it and he took it and ran. I mean, this guy has...

    Advise on Sound Card/Headphone pairing; gaming.

    Mostly any type of amp and quality DACS will drive up the price of a sound card. This can be a hotly debated topic, so I won't be too authoritative on what i'm saying. But if you can tell a difference, pay for it. If not, then skip the highend.

    The NSA watches you poop.

    We're speculating here, but if its like any other government agency's process except more robust, just because you have a fake key doesn't mean there has been a lock created for you to open. From what I recall, normally, access is granted on a per user, per contract job basis. The more I think...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    I couldn't get a JSC (Johnson Space Center) badge to get their cheap on site lunches and I worked for a major contractor. It would be extremely difficult to get his firm to request the access, and someone from NSA to approve the access. There's got to be more to the story than just...

    I can't believe the NSA lets low level employees have access to their entire organization. Even the stupid phone company has information clearance levels. Their mismanagement is the scariest thing about this imo. Are our guys that stupid?

    Advise on Sound Card/Headphone pairing; gaming.

    I honestly wouldn't spend more than $40 bucks to listen to mp3s. If you are an audiophile and have .flacs or regular cds to enjoy maybe get some studio headphones.

    If you didn't leave metropolis when they started the machine, you deserved to die. Also, Zod and Superman fought for miles and miles. How did Lois catch up to them? (the only problem I had with the whole movie)

    Hey, little late on the party, but my rule of thumb is to verify at what load will the psu fan will kick on. Then I see what my maximum draw at the wall is. Then I find a psu that can provide that load (heh load) without needing to kick the fan on. Silent!

    Sound Engineering: PC or MAC?

    What software will you be using? You may not have a choice if its cubase. Mac mini's are great to start with as they are super freakin cheap, and relatively fast. We have yet to max out the machine, and we do many, many sessions. We spent the bulk of our money on an interface, which costs 2x...
