Which most people who pirate Windows don't care about anyway. So, net win for the pirates. Edit: Win8.1 running on my gaming box again, frame rates are back where they should be, MSI Afterburner works properly again and no more freezing in FFXIV. I'm sure they'll work it out by launch time...

Finally had it with Windows 10. I think it's just an issue with the setup I have (mostly the 3x surround video), but for whatever reason, my system games like shit with it loaded. Going back to Windows 8.1 for now. Truth be told, though, I wasn't having any other problems with it, and it only...

Yes, it's still there, and we haven't been forced to rename yet. I'm sure someone will complain eventually, given that even the show has dropped any mention of ISIS now.

I was playing at launch. I'm a tank for the most part so this stuff didn't affect me like it affected you, I guess, telegraphs aside. White mage heals, when I was still playing daily (just before Leviathan, I guess), were still insane aggro if handled poorly. The turn 4 example is familiar, yes.

The net lag: Yes. The telegraphs: If you don't suck, yes. "Improve the UI"? How so? Probably not, but that's very subjective. What improvements were you looking for? Not sure what you mean by the white mage being a death sentence, but both WHM and SCH have been buffed since launch.

So it's a biopic, then? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

+1, didn't realize they were that close in price now. Maybe I should stock up on Reds.

If all you're using it for is long-term storage, Green is fine, even. Just don't ever put it in a RAID, ever.

Sure as hell don't want to eat him. I'll feed him to the cat. Cats are already batshit crazy anyway.

J and J have better mic skills than Kane and Show*, and one of them barely speaks. It's a sad statement, but it's true. Waiting patiently for someone to upload tonight's show to IPT so I can see it before tomorrow. Hulu won't post it for a while yet. * - yes, that's mostly because they're...

Upvoting onions. Still not sold on Lumie.

Different strokes for different folks, but it also depends on what your group needs at max level. SCH vs WHM has been discussed ad nauseum in this thread a few times. The good news is that most gear is the same for both.

Injustice has been done here.

Who fabs for who is fairly irrelevant. Samsung has had Apple stuff on their lines on and off for years and they're still acting like bitter rivals. It's still billions of dollars' worth of business.

Yep. At the end of the day, it's just a phone. Who cares? Also, everyone is edging (some slowly, some quickly) towards cheaper build quality. That's what happens when your product is already out there and you can rely on past performance to sell. See Playstation 3.

Ever since Vista, a key is a key is a key. There is absolutely no difference between an OEM key and an out-of-the-box key. Period. The only key that is different these days is the KMS key, and there is only one client KMS key per SKU. The actual personalized KMS key is server-based, not...

We are apparently getting IE11 soon. Stuck on IE9 right now. It sucks.

LOL. Looks like they didn't learn their lesson.

Seagate still hasn't shaken the trauma of that one bad firmware revision on their 1TB drives. I've never had issues with other models from them, but those 1TBs dropped like flies if they weren't updated, and it was often too late anyway.

Uh. What? Where did you hear this? This is like saying that most backup software uses Windows Server Backup under the hood, just because Microsoft provides a backup solution.

Hmmmm. I dunno. I'd sooner go with this one (listed on the bottom of the page for the one you linked): SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Newegg.com Bit more expensive, but Seasonic is the king, and 620W should be...

LOL. Don't go with Panda, apparently. Panda antivirus mistakenly flags itself as malware, bricks PCs | ZDNet

Yeah, that's what is linked in the Samsung howto there. The official Apple page.

Worse than that. All of your Apple-owning friends whose devices still think that you're using iMessage will attempt to send to you that way, and since you no longer have an iPhone, your message will silently disappear into the ether. Apple doesn't always tell the sender that it never sent...

My 6+ doesn't behave this badly as a rule. I also don't use Safari, I use Chrome. YMMV?

It's probably water resistant, not waterproof, same as the Pebble.

If you're doing rendering or virtualization, go i7. If not, go i5. Easy enough IMO.

VT-d allows direct access to hardware other than the CPU, period. For example, you can present your GPU to a VM. Want 3D acceleration/Quartz in OS X in a VM? You need VT-d. Or, another example, you want to present a fibre channel card directly to a VM because you don't want your FC fabric...

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. RIP.

Let's not do the iOS vs. Android thing. No one wins. The 6/6+ have 1GB of RAM. Unless you open a thousand tabs in Safari, it's fine. This is only doable through some extremely shady third-party gateways that are basically iMessage proxies that require your Apple ID. I wouldn't use one if you...

No use anyway. Not for that price point. Anyone who buys one of these things needs a serious sit down. Anyone who buys SLI needs to be medicated. The only people that will buy these are the wankers who want that top score on 3DMark for 5 minutes, and honestly, that's cool. It'll keep them...

My iPhone's plenty useful. This watch, in my opinion, isn't (at least, no more so than a Pebble). But, yes, Apple is not a technology company, at least not solely. Hasn't been for a long time.

Yep. At that point, I might as well go back to wearing my Nano 6G as a watch. Yes, I was one of them. Truth be told, that was as smart a watch as I wanted anyway, and I could wear it at work because it wasn't wireless. Having to push the button to see the clock, though? Ugh.

No hate here, but I'll maintain that there is absolutely no use for a smart watch that can't just be a watch 99% of the time and a useful gadget when you need one. If I wanted a phone, I'd... oh, hey, I'm carrying my phone. I don't need another phone screen. Might just be me, though.

I know who you are, you narcissistic child. I just don't care. Apparently, you can't tell the difference. It's all good, I posted over in Amod. I even thanked you for your hard work. You may rest now, the battle is won.

Fuckin' 2013ers. If they see it, they see it, if not, I don't really care. But, just for you, I'll go crosspost over in Ask Amod. Either stay on target or GTFO.

Oh, hey, while I'm here: Hey, Amod, would it be possible to move the smart watch stuff to here? I just remembered there's a thread for this already. Smartwatches/Fitness Trackers

Ding ding ding ding, we have a winner. If you're a slave to your email or social media, and you simply MUST know everything the instant it happens, a smart watch is probably for you. If not, congrats, you're normal and you can stand to be away from your phone for a second or five. That's...

You do understand that release is in 6 weeks, right? The model you saw at the conference was almost certainly the real deal. Apple doesn't typically change anything 6 weeks from release, and certainly not the major design decisions. They are either ready at this point, or they're not, and my...

Loaded instantly for me. Can't say the same for the other thread, ever.
