    Best thing about Fiber is the fact it is basically weather / nature proof. No metal conductors to get fried in electrical storms, drown in floods, rouge EMP from NKorea, etc. It's god damn rock solid and incredibly fast. Wireless is always going to be prone to everything under (and including)...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    @Hatorade turn off your god damn luclin models while I still have some respect for you! ;) @Noodleface it really depends on what you mean by "getting a feel for it". In my opinion, what made EQ great was the community and forced grouping. This is probably geared more towards players that want...

    Kurt Cobain was murdered (probably).

    I was born in '77 and I loathe most 80s music too. Of course, there are some gems but overall when I was most impressionable it was all big hair homo bands. I genuinely feel privileged to have the grunge / alternative revolution as the soundtrack of my teenage years. A resounding fuck-off to the...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Made it to level 41 in a single sitting. All the pimp SK twink gear from old KP Emu server friends helped get the ball rolling, but Nima ran me through a Naggy flag which happened to drop a Red Dragon Tooth (level 49 Necro pet spell clickie). The pet basically mowed down SolB with ease while...

    Making a Murderer (Netflix) - New info

    It's been like a year since I watched the Netflix series, but from my memory.. the entire key point of the prosecution of Steven Avery WAS Brendan's forced testimony. Avery's case should certainly be reviewed if the main body of evidence has now been overturned.

    Everquest II

    This was brought up SO many times to the devs (consolidating ability bloat). Their standard answer was that they didn't want to upset the current playerbase. Always the typical SoE shortsightedness. A long term fix would have gone a long way in expanding a game that had so much potential! They...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Earliest exploit I remember back in 2000 was some fairly trivial tradeskill armor combine that sold for more than the cost of components. I was low teens and clicking combine like crazy for a week straight. (no automation apps back then) When all was said and done, I was balling around in twin...

    Everquest Mysteries

    Strayed slightly off topic, but best boat story was a guild PoSky raid. The usual strat was simply to jump off the island when you finish a raid where you safely land in the water in the Freeport harbor. Lo and behold, as we are falling you can see the boat pulling into Freeport. Half a dozen...

    New Zealand

    Travel time isn't an issue. The place isn't really that busy and nothing is that far apart. The issue is there is SO MUCH to see and do that you would likely run out of time. If you are an outdoorsy type, I suggest to focus on the South Island. I spent roughly 3 weeks alone on the south island...

    Yes, it is a bit of a confusion the 2A chargers for Samsung had been out for many years. That was standard fare for Samsung, while Apple stuck to 1A watching paint dry slow charging. You could still put your Samsung on a 1A charger, but it would basically charge at half speed. A lot of the old...

    Moving out of country - USA to somewhere else?

    I would really take a look at your Cisco Networking career though. If a country is going to hire a foreigner for a job like that, they are typically going to hire an Indian / other Asian to do the job for a fraction of what you would be paid. Indians are just as qualified and work for far less...

    Smartphones

    And for clarification, a standard 2.0A adapter is not going to enable "fast charging". There's a special one that varies output (adaptive charger). Notice the text and icon on this wall plug.

    Smartphones

    You must use the newer Adaptive Fast Charger at the wall outlet in conjunction with that pad for it to work. If you use the old adapter with the new pad, you are still going to charge at the old slow regular rate. (I found this out the hard way too) The cord itself makes no difference.

    Trolls were nice because they were the only regen for original release. Iksar didn't come out until Kunark, but I always throught the regen was the same at level 60 as trolls. Plus they had a nice AC bonus and max swim skill. Iksar were pretty baller. Ogre frontal stun immunity was pretty OP...

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    Shields were a thing for warriors come end of PoP (RZ shield). If I remember correctly, the AC on shields added like raw AC and was pretty powerful. Plus, they usually had a high +shielding or block mod.

    Smartphones

    The newer ones will actually say "fast charging" on your screen if it is working correctly. Using the older chargers will simply say "charging". (This goes for both Qi wireless and wired chargers)

    Home buying thread

    @Poster Normally, I would agree 100%. My big hesitation is due to the current stock market that seems to be pretty damn oversold. I feel that if I keep investing right now, it is a pretty big gamble, while the house is a sure thing. If the market took a massive 10-20% dip in a correction, I...

    Retirement bullshit

    I got out of the Navy at 24 and got a cushy contracting job. Been doing it ever since. The smartest move I ever made was to max out my 401k contributions. I figured it was money I never had up until that point, so I never considered it as a loss out of my paycheck. We get some new hires, some...

    Wine and How to Impress.

    Fuck Bordeaux. Burgundy is where the nice French wine is. Lots of small vineyards though, so it is a complete crapshoot. Echezeaux Grand Cru has some nice ones. I agree with @Deruvian that Gran Reserva Rioja has some good bang for buck! I have been hooked on New Zealand Sav Blancs since my...
