    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm sure there are lots of reasons they didn't do both, but I guarantee code complexity wasn't one. The reality is probably that they didn't think about it, or if they did someone higher up shut it down.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's not complicated at all. Worst case scenario you have "kultiran0" and "kultiran1" behind the scenes

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I like to employ a technique I call "lie but don't lie." What I mean is, don't get in over your head but if you know you can do the job find a creative way to "learn" the technology they want. As a systems engineer, I basically set up storage, hypervisor's, operating systems and applications...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Hopping at 1 year will not hurt you at all as long as it appears to be a step forward. In ten years I've gone from making 30k to 107k at the moment. I actually was making more 3 years ago, but that was in the Seattle area so I actually fare much better making what I make in NC now. I've...

    That's normal. I've always had to move out to move up. If it's a non high tech company, then 100k is usually the range where movement starts to slow down. Prior to that, you can get anywhere from %20-%100 increases by moving on to another company after a year or two of experience.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    i legit used to work at NOA. I'm sure both servers won't be pvp. I'll play on the one that's not.

    Hosting Company for Business Websites.

    Most hosting providers partner with cloudflare to offer ddos protection. With DO, you would just set cloudflare up on your own.

    Ew I think PvP would be the only thing that would keep from playing.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    I didn't figure anything. I'm saying they both got all fagged up about Zaide (even though he doesnt matter) so they should just compete with each other since they're so competitive and all.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    So its settled then. The real competition is Mabbu's guild vs TL. Don't be pussies and work together. We've already determined Zaide doesn't matter to either of you.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Who wants to measure up against TL though? All I see is TL saying this and no one from Faceless is really saying much at all. That's why I'm so confused.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    The out of state thing kind of throws it off... When I was a kid, my mom always got us Christmas Eve because her family had a Christmas Eve tradition. Then we'd wake up, do presents Christmas morning and my dad would pick us up early afternoon and we'd do his family's Christmas day / dinner...

    I just like levelling up. That's the best part. I'll probably be overseas too when this comes out which means EQ can be played on the job.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    You shouldn't lose connectivity just because your lease expired. However, if you are running DHCP on both your router and your extender then that could cause some funky stuff. Settings static IPs certainly won't hurt - just make sure you adjust your DHCP pool to exclude those static IPs. By...

    I'm a big fan of the South East. Savannah, GA is real nice, I like Charleston, SC a lot - maybe not in the city but North Charleston and the suburb area is great. I live in NC myself and like it better than WA state where I'm originally from. I just got back from Miami. I go once per quarter or...

    You may want to look into a sleep study too. Do you know if you snore or anything? Those symptoms are all associated with sleep apnea. Have you tried a bronchodilator to see if that helps any?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I pretty much stopped doing anything but invasions and raiding. I want that teleport ring just cause. I actually am half dreading the patch because it makes me feel like I need to do more and I don't want to.

    My doctor is younger than me. I had him test my T levels awhile back and they were fine. I asked if I could get some anyway for the gains and he thought that was the funniest shit.

    I don't care either way. I'm just a realist and on prem Exchange, SharePoint, Skype and office type stuff are the services I see moving out and staying out. Ive worked for 10k+ employee government agencies who run entirely on O365 so it seems to scale just fine. Everything else is still...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    If you want to boil it down all those services you mentioned are just boxes/vms in a datacenter. I would agree with you though that a true "cloud" service requires some level of abstraction from the underlying infrastructure. It got it's name from the cloud symbol in a network diagram that...

    You should be able to set your ISP router to bridge mode then use your own router. Would drastically simplify things.

    You can image the sd card using various tools - I use wind32 disk imager but etcher works too - directly with the OS you want to run. If you have DHCP set up, you can boot the pi, let it get an address then SSH into it using whatever the default account is for your OS. For Raspbian it's just...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You started it with your pinnacle of forever alone comment above. Had you said "marriage isn't for me," in a more normal; not reeking of bitterness and desperation way, you probably could've flown under the radar.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    There are many benefits for me, but you want people to list what you (personally) would consider a benefit and I'd rather not play that game with you since it's a trick question anyway. I don't give a shit if you get married or not, you just seem very bitter and jaded. Perhaps if you didn't...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I don't really care if people buy into marriage or not. It just cracks me up when I see guys trying to tout some class action marriage strike "Let's do it men! Lets not get married together!" To me it just sounds like "validate my unhappy life please!"

    Oh yeah the T110 is fine, I was more so responding to the R720. I'd only run a mini-ITX or NUC for a home server these days. Docker and Kubernetes are the two "hype" containers right now. I'd lean toward using those if you can. I'm actually rebuilding my server this weekend and intend to...
