    You joke, but making critical decisions in real-time during outages and other IT emergencies (often self-inflicted by the customer) for multi-million dollar accounts is a lot of responsibility for 20 dollars an hour. Then you get Monday-morning quarterbacked by management on day-shift all week...

    Review: The Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti is the first real 4K GPU, but who drives it better, AMD or Intel? - ExtremeTech Fairly interesting benches, 1080ti with Ryzen vs 6900k.

    You missed my point. It's not the dealing with people that are a pain in the ass, that's not unique, its the fact that you're dealing with people who are a pain in the ass while nobody is actually in charge for 15 hours a day every weekday and 48 hours on the weekend for what's supposed to be a...

    While I agree that its not an order of magnitude more bullshit than the bullshit at any other job, the amount of bullshit happening in real-time without appropriate management, tools, processes or manpower to handle what's been sold to the customer is sometimes staggering, while sales people try...

    Need ~90 fps on 4k before I'd give up 120 fps at 1440p. So, about 15 months from now at Nvidia's current pace.

    I've decided that when I'm officially done with this job I'm going to start livestreaming our NOC afterhours. People making dick jokes while our customers' servers are literally on fire has got to be funnier than half of Twitch.

    It shouldn't be that slow. I made a bootable thumb drive from the tool just the other day, on my extremely underpowered work-issued laptop, and it took very little time.

    Beating web filters

    We have a web filter but all our lab servers are in the DMZ... dynamic ssh tunnel to any of them, set Firefox to use localhost for a proxy and out you go. But yeah, you could probably use Cygwin on your home box and ssh to it. Have you tried just running teamviewer or logmein on your home...

    It still won't be as ridiculous as 3xKTK drafts. That also had uncommon tri-lands and the gain 1 life on the duals made a huge difference. Then again, there will probably be way more overpowered multcolored cards in this, so who knows. I'm a huge fan of limited formats where 4-5 color decks...

    That's Microcenter prices. Not actual MSRP, case or tray prices. Microcenter has always used CPUs as something close to loss-leaders. Bad blog is bad.

    Let's see real gaming benchmarks. There's a lot more to a desktop platform than just MIPS. Games aren't built for 8 cores, and the HEDT chips they're comparing to weren't good for gaming (for the price) either.
