    Must Have Software

    This exploit affects Windows machines only, correct? What I am concerned about is my Synology NAS that has a lot of important documents. The NAS OS itself is based on a Linux build. Just not sure if this malware can get to those files if someone else on my home network is infected on their...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Talking of leveling paths... my necro alt used OT for fear kiting, which in itself isn't very exciting. What pisses me off is the fact I got my first and only "flag" on my account from a GM for exploiting. I used to pull mobs right near the ramp to Skyfire zone line. If you landed fear just to...

    Cruises: Good Value Vacation or White Trash Rafts?

    20 years ago that I lived in FL. Brother got married in St Thomas. It was their idea that we all take a cruise for the occasion. That was 2006? And the last one I went on. I can see the appeal for an easy, no stress, all-in-1 vacation. But honestly, people just need to get out of their comfort...

    Pilot friend of mine went heavy in early last year.. I flat out told him I would sell while he was ahead at roughly $12 per share a while back. It was all hype at that point. Think he got stung today.

    Cruises: Good Value Vacation or White Trash Rafts?

    Dafuq? Ex and I rented a nice convertible sports car in London, took it and spent two weeks on the road Eurostar to Calais, through all of France, down to San Sebastian Spain, over to Barcelona, few days in St. Tropez in 5 star accommodation, then Monaco, Italy, back into France, Switzerland, a...

    FWIW, I grew up in Central FL and have been on my fair share of cruises. Never again.

    Cruises: Good Value Vacation or White Trash Rafts?

    Spendy? $680 bucks on a Royal Caribbean 7 day East Caribbean cruise on the "Oasis of the Seas" as recommended by someone earlier. This was my first search result. I'm sure you could find even cheaper on Carnival, etc. I am headed to the Maldives on Friday and that might cover my booze bill for...

    Cruises: Good Value Vacation or White Trash Rafts?

    Again, look at clientele. To the average mass cruise ship patron, a night out at Applebee's or Outback is a special occasion. Cruise ship meals are "great"? It's all relative.

    Ah the 90s. High school we had the choice of 99c whoppers at BK, TB menu was 49c for soft / hard tacos or 69c for supremes and didn't really have anything over 99c except the steak burrito, McDs had the 39c hamburgers / 49c cheeseburgers on Wednesdays. Fuck we are getting old... reminiscing of...

    As others have said, putting Linux as the OS for an old woman is just dumb. You can get by with a simple Intel NUC. You don't even need a new Gen7 one, you could buy an older one and it will work just fine. Intel® NUC Just buy the combo kit and it's $450 all-in and should last until she...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I know that, was simply pointing out that caps were in place before scaled items anyway. It was only relevant to dmg. You'd still get full stats from the weapons, but there was a cap to the damage it would produce. That said, there were very few weapons with stats before No Drop became the norm...

    Yea, quality pricey fans like that are good for multiple builds. The up-front costs suck, but they can last for years if not a decade+.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    As said, way before "Recommended Level" items were a thing with nerfed stats, the game already had baked in damage caps from day 1. Even if you twinked a noob with a monster dmg sword, there was a cap to the max hit that raised every 10 levels. Still in game to this day, IIRC.. at least on every...

    Single pull Cazic is news to me, and I consider myself to be quite the knowledgeable vet. How is this accomplished? On Ragefire, we (Darkwind) just fucking pulled the whole zone and AE'd everything. Didn't seem like much issue.

    Just curious what you think is considered a "valued customer" or what that might give you? I use Fidelity and use their own Target Date Retirement (also 2050) and the return is pretty similar. This is not an open mutual fund, but what is offered to my company for their 401k plan. The 1 year...

    @Jx3 How bound are you to your current location? Do you yearn to travel overseas? I ask this because I have been an expat living abroad for the last ~18 years. During my travels, I always come across a ton of American / Canadian / UK teachers. They too hated the systems where they came from and...

    Sounds like a carrier specific deal? I am overseas and don't deal with that contract horseshit from the states, however, all the shops here have the free Gear VR offer with purchase of the S8. In fact, they did the same with the S7 and was never a limited time.

    As said, kinda strange to vote Debbie over the real threats. Debbie has 0 chance of winning most immunity challenges, let alone the whole game. I could understand voting her out if she was part of my own alliance, as she is completely spastic and could blow up a plan / your game at any moment...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Do you guys really pay monthly? With USAA, you pay your year up front and it is significantly less. You're basically paying interest on monthly payments. I have seen anywhere from 5-20% discount. If you sell the car or whatever before the year is up, you get refunded the difference. Insurance...

    HDTVs

    Have to wonder how much those streams are compressed. Those 4k streams are losing so much in the compression, what is the point of it in the first place? True 4k would be an absolute fuckton of data per month in a country that still often has data caps from shitty ISPs. Even with the shitty...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Wranglers are nice in that they are extremely capable off-road without doing a damn thing to them. However, as a daily driver they are horrible. Their ride quality is like a tank and it has a ton of plastics everywhere that squeak and rattle. The cargo space is total shit in the 2 door, so you...

    As much as I love 4K, this is the exact reason I haven't made the upgrade yet. Every time I float the idea, I look at the complete lack of any mainstream 4K content. By the time we actually start seeing 4K, the tech will be more mature and prices will be cheaper.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The one thing Subaru has going for it is that it is an AWD system for wintery states in a vehicle that is not only cheap, but very reliable. It's nothing at all exciting, but it is damn good value for what it offers.

    Troll is right, that shit has been around for ages.

Lane change warning tech actually came from Japan and is over 15 years old and first came to...
