    +1 Noodleface. There's nothing that annoys me more than that 10pm phone call "hepl, I broked my computar". I do this shit all day, and they at least pay me for it.

    Smartphones

    I'm a blatant iFanboy, and even I wouldn't make this comparison. What were you thinking? This would be like comparing my 6+ to my work-supplied Blackberry 9300.

    Smartphones

    Do you even exploit kernels, bro? No, they don't "suck at it". All code has bugs. Sometimes it takes a while to find them (as with iOS 7, which took quite a while to break). Sometimes they're easy enough to find (as with iOS 8, which was broken within weeks of release, potentially with an...

    The King Henry Tapes (By Me!)

    Usually a reasonable measuring stick: If it would be King Henry's scene, it probably isn't anyone else's.

    I really hope he responds in his usual manner. That's always fun.

    They said this about KASLR on iOS as well. Several releases later and it's still being broken.

    Yep. Nuke it. Seriously, if you have the time, and you have even the slightest bit of doubt, why trust something that has been compromised in potentially unknown ways? I like to think of it this way. You had a rootkit. It's gone, sure, but it could have been: 1. A symptom of another...

    God help...die Bill Gates (can't reduce my winsxs file)

    One of our support guys uses one and swears by it. Then he complains that he can't do things (like use USB, which is off by policy, or burn DVDs/CDs), and we laugh at him. The rest of us won't let the workstation lifecycle people touch our thick clients. I believe "you'll take it from me the...

    Yeah, I'd agree with Jysin. You never know what it might have left behind. Complete removal isn't always guaranteed.

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

    Actually, fuck it. I just registered pantheonrotfl.com and pointed it at this thread. Might take a while for DNS to catch up. Edit: Seems to work now. Quite possibly the best $15 I ever spent.

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

    Your screams of anguish when you start playing and the very first quest sends you after 20 Unity Bear Asses will be delightful.

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

    Genuinely disappointed that: a. No one jumped on that domain, b. There isn't a "pantheonrotfl.com".

    God help...die Bill Gates (can't reduce my winsxs file)

    Well, whether they do or don't isn't really the issue. It's what happens when they save something to C: (after having been told not to), then come back the next day and find it gone, because their desktop refreshed. They complain, we tell them (again) that they can't save there, and they usually...

    Do everything in Safe Mode until your computer is actually yours again. It'll at least stop some things from installing (i.e. anything that uses the Windows Installer service).

    Laptop Computers

    The one I have (this one) does a reasonable job of keeping air moving around my Alienware M17xR2. I got it when the laptop started having issues with the CFX video card configuration, which is a known issue with these systems, and it helped enough that the overheating stopped for quite a while...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Took me forever to farm one. Then I sold the character and the dude who bought it apparently deleted all my flowers. When I checked out the character years later (with his permission, I'm not that much of an asshole), they were gone. WTF.

    The Sleeper - Round 2

    He actually #zoneaggro'd you? Hahaha. Yep, that should be all the proof anyone needs. Stay away from this server. Any server whose admins actually kill the players, on purpose, is a joke.

    Government, so not difficult to get away with it -- so many rules and regulations in effect that a few more is hardly a surprise for most of our users. I've been in this job for years and I'm still surprised that the account forms aren't submitted in triplicate, just because red tape. They...

    Dr. Mario's Retard Rehabilitation Program

    Killing him would deprive us of an opportunity to watch history in the making. I, for one, have never seen anyone's head so far up his own ass as Column is demonstrating here. A true lesson in narcissism here, people.

    God help...die Bill Gates (can't reduce my winsxs file)

    The desktops refresh on logoff and we use folder redirection (including the Desktop). That's why I mentioned "don't install anything on C:". Corporate environment. Heavily controlled. If someone needs an app, it's ThinApp for them unless they make one hell of a good case to deploy the app...

    God help...die Bill Gates (can't reduce my winsxs file)

    37GB for Win7 is fine, just don't install anything else on C:, at all. If you've installed other things there, move them or reinstall them elsewhere. That, and the cleanup tool, should work out fine for you moving forward. We use 40GB C: drives for our VDI virtual machines at work, and that's...

    So, tell us, when is that Extreme Butthurt debuff gonna fade, Rellapse? How long has it been since you left P99 for EQMac again?

    I couldn't look at it all from work. Firewalls and such. Didn't mean any disrespect, so don't take it that way.

    Casual Rerolled WoW guild - Hyjal Horde

    Can't log in at this point as my gaming box is in pieces for the next few days. Hiiru is me if someone wants to make a note. I'll be back on next week. Near as I can remember, I'm 450 enc. Should I bother getting it past that or is it too much of a bitch with little to no cash? I only had...

    Column definitely belongs in the anals of Rerolled, yes. Potentially the annals, too.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Yeah, there's some good stuff in there, but I didn't see a bunch of things. The conversations aren't all there. The quests aren't all there. The cards and such aren't there (from what I could see). At least the Theater is captured but I couldn't watch the whole thing (I'm at work). Did he kill...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    Slightly OT. One of his recent posts from Facebook: --- Patrick Rothfuss 22 mins ? When I was in Milwaukee, doing my reading and signing, someone told me that their creative writing teacher required them to go to a reading as part of their class, but that my reading didn't count...

    So, now that I resubbed, xfered and joined up, I'm out for a bit. Tearing apart my office to finish renovations and won't have my gaming box up again until next week. Priorities, right?

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

    Most of us don't have time. Jobs, families, whatever, and games to play that would no doubt be better than anything we could produce with Unity. Wish I still had the time, though.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Wonder how close they'll manage to get PoM. It isn't very well documented. Was a lot of fun back in the day, though, before they turned it into yet another boring zone full of aggro shit.

    Casual Rerolled WoW guild - Hyjal Horde

    Xfered my old warrior. Gear is meaningless but if I'm gonna be a filthy casual, I'm gonna do all that rep shit, and it seems a waste to get rid of all that stuff I've already done. Is there any Horde race that's better for warriors these days? I haven't kept up.

    The Sleeper - Round 2

    So, what you're saying can be wrapped up in one sentence: This is essentially (still) a PEQ server with a small amount of work done to make it slightly more "Classic".

    I'll go this route then. I'll probably buy WoD and just cheap my way to 90, but I'll have to relearn the game. I remember next to nothing.
