    If one wants to set up a server

    The biggest issue, as Zaide mentioned, is finding people that aren't massive douchebags that are willing to put in hours of volunteer time fixing shit to make it look "better". If you want to do this, I'd like to offer you one piece of advice, as someone who has attempted this before (and...

    Desktop Computers

    I use a Hackintosh fairly often. It's fine for everything that isn't 3D graphics related, and not too slow, but it's no Mac, and you have to be fairly careful with updates as they can replace needed kexts and boom, you're reinstalling.

    Halloween (Pictures of your kids)

    My daughter, dressed as a_fairy_001: She wasn't even 1 year old last Halloween, so this is her first time in a costume for the day, but we didn't take her out or anything. She really has no clue what's going on yet. Highlight of the night was when some older kid came to the door in...

    Casual Rerolled WoW guild - Hyjal Horde

    Is there any point at all in transferring/switching factions instead of starting fresh? Last time I played was mid-WOTLK, I think.

    Outlook 2010 - Issue has me stumped!

    First thing I'd do is send yourself something (to the mailbox directly on the SMTP host you're sending through, not to gmail/hotmail/whatever). Does that work?

    Ukerric wins this one. Etchazz, do you honestly believe (when talking to this crowd) that there isn't a niche of gamers who play the same game for 5+ years? Do you remember where you are? If the EQ team hadn't made so many poor choices in terms of trying to keep up with the WoWs, a lot more...

    Prompt 2 (ssh/telnet client) + Transmit (ftp/sftp client) bundle is on sale right now. Both of these apps are awesome for remote management.

    Smartphones

    Just in case anyone is silly enough (like me) to try it: Stay far away from PanGu's latest jailbreak for iOS 8. It is a clusterfuck unless you do your homework well in advance and all the stars/planets happen to be aligned when you install. Wait for a couple weeks at least.

    Yeah, that's the thing, though. We'll all try it out for a second or two, but even if it doesn't suck, we'll probably ditch it after that first "free" month. Just like every other MMO.

    It's not a matter of being dated. The number of cores in an i7 simply isn't relevant to most gamers.

    As far as I know, HDMI and DP monitors act as PnP devices. If you want to do that, you probably have to use only VGA or DVI.

    Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey

    Dunno, I don't find Kian so aggravating. Zo? is definitely a bit annoying in the later bits of Book 1, though. And I do miss me some Crow. Might have to play the first two games again for the luls.

    Yes, by and large, they are. They are complete pussies that want everything handed to them on a silver platter, a-la-Diablo.

    Desktop Computers

    Yep, this. In 20+ years of building PCs, I've had 1 or 2 DOA parts that I can remember, and they were easily replaced. This is more true today than it was years ago, too, because today's RMA processes are very easy with most of the major resellers. And, hey, let's not forget, you have...

    Gloves for computer use?

    This would probably work pretty well if you want to stay on the cheap. If a couple of degrees make all the difference for you (I know a few people who have this same problem), fingertips shouldn't matter too much, I'd think, as long as the rest is covered.

    Smartwatches / Fitness Trackers

    The Pebble is very, very inaccurate compared to my Fitbit, at least with the app I was using (Misfit). It suggests that a quick flick of my wrist (say, grabbing a drink) is several "steps". They need to work on the sensitivity before it'll be a viable replacement. Has the constant monitoring...

    Interesting. But yeah, 3 sticks should do you fine for now, 12GB is enough RAM to do pretty much anything most people would do. joeboo, mismatching number of sticks usually only results in (slightly) sub-optimal performance, unless you're running a real server platform that splits the bus...

    Yep, they should just have been upfront about it, but it should be in there. It's a technical preview and it's meant to be tested, not used in production. They want to know what people are actually using Windows for, which is one hell of an improvement on their Windows 8 "you'll swallow and...
