    Laptop Computers

    If I had to do it all again, this is definitely the way I would go. Hell, even Alienware (well, Dell) understands that they just can't cram all that shit into their oddly designed, poorly cooled laptop cases without risking overheating, because they've pulled the SLI/CFX setups from all but the...

    Any way to stop websites like Radaris.com or Intelius.com?

    It doesn't count when it's actually relevant. He makes a good point.

    Question about importing contacts to iPhone/Android

    I set up my gmail account to sync contacts with gmail and completely ignore iCloud for contacts. I imagine you could import the vCard to Google services through a web interface. It won't stop the iPhone from generating duplicates if you sync your contacts to both gmail and iCloud (and then...

    Question about importing contacts to iPhone/Android

    I generally just let Google/gmail handle the merging and let the iWhatevers download my contacts from there. Saves time merging anything on the phone itself and I don't have to worry about backing up my contacts, ever.

    Try here:AMD Chipset Drivers It says Windows 8, but it should work with 8.1. They are the same driver model.

    Just did an upgrade on my M17x R2 from 5870M CFX to 7970M CFX. I managed to crush my CFX cable somehow while doing this, so can't actually turn CrossFire on. Had to buy another one off eBay. It's amazing how much people can charge for a tiny little ribbon cable. That said, even one 7970M is...

    We use VDI at work for hundreds of people every day. It works fine. It took a great deal of time to engineer and the infrastructure isn't only there for VDI, though. It is an exceptional time saver for people who routinely fuck up their desktops. Got a problem? Log off and back on, problem is...

    Windows 8

    First of all, why would you ask that question here? We're probably all gamers. Secondly, I never said that. I use my desktop(s) for all kinds of things. I run a VM server lab on one of them. I have a development environment on another. I wouldn't be caught dead typing up reports on a tablet...

    This. I've had nothing but problems with my SLI/CrossFire laptops over the years. Not a single one has survived long, and I'm constantly getting replacement parts (under warranty, which I keep renewing specifically because it's cheaper than replacing the video cards). If you're gonna go SLI, get...

    Misleading shit is misleading. Dell and Lenovo are both up nearly 7% worldwide. Dell, Apple and Lenovo are all up from last year in the US alone. Seriously, what a ridiculous source. Bonus points for linking to CNet of all places. Now, if you posted, say... this:Computer Sales in Free Fall -...

    3 of the 4 mainstream OS choices on today's devices are UNIX/Linux based. Android, iOS, OS X. Also, Microsoft has been steadily shifting back to a command line interface for most of its administration over the last 10 years (to the point where you now need PowerShell to perform basic tasks)...

    In a perfect Linux world, you can install things the same way as you can in Windows (with the addition of a little insert-your-password-here for privilege escalation). The problem is, when Shit Happens, it's much messier to clean up. Tell Average Joe that he needs to launch Synaptic to fix...

    Unbelievable. Listen, stud. Here's how it works. If she didn't say (and by extension, if she wasn't actually capable of saying) "yes, I want you to fuck me", it's rape. Even if she had a drink. Even if you had a drink. Your social cues? Irrelevant. Her social cues? Equally irrelevant...

    Butthurt white guys, an Asian virgin and an angry lesbian walk into a bar...

    "Wouldn't otherwise have" because why? Because she had one drink, or because she was passed out drunk? There is a veritable mountain of difference between the two. If someone has a single drink, is affected by the alcohol but is still capable of making rational decisions, decides to sleep with...

    Never said they couldn't. Drunk people can also say yes, even. And they can form contracts!

    Yes, taking sexual advantage of a person who can't say no is textbook rape. Is that what you want to hear? I wasn't trying to disprove that. It also wasn't what you asked. You said that a drunk person can't form a contract; I showed you that yes, they can. Does it hurt that you're so wrapped...

    Xandros tried this. Ask them how it worked. Oh, wait, you can't, they're long gone. The problem with your assertion above is there is no "they". "Desktop Linux" is an idea, not a product, and there will never be "a" Linux. That would kinda destroy the idea of what the operating system is in...

    Not even sure why I'm doing this, but lmgtfy: Capacity to Contract Lawyers | LegalMatch Law Library Specifically, In short, "I was drunk" is not an immediate out of any contract. Stop using this as a crutch.

    How -does- it feel to keep slamming your head against the proverbial wall, dude? I'm just curious. Actually, did you get the wall's consent? Sounds like non-consensual wall slamming to me.

    Amusingly enough, the first person who logged in other than me was miffed that it chose me, because he wanted to empty the guild bank. =D I don't really blame him. I think I'll go buy ISIS a house for the hell of it if no one cares anymore.

    If the game ever actually exists, people will play it. If they're having this much trouble getting funding and/or interest in its infancy, how likely do you think that is? Rhetorical, I know, since you're going to respond that it'll absopositively be released on time!!1one.

    The guy turned FoH into a malware infested bot training ground, and you're okay with this? Requiem didn't lift a finger until the end, and that finger was to give us all the big fuck you, sure, but saying he's at fault for what Tyen ultimately did is a bit rich.
