    Windows 8

    Metro is for touch screens and purposefully oversimplified booth displays. Everyone else should ignore it completely and just use it like it's Windows 7 R2. Or Vista R3, whichever you prefer.

    Valve's new "console"

    Not very interested in this. If it's gonna cost ~$1k, why not just build your own for cheaper? Beyond the obvious appeal to people who want to pretend their gaming boxes don't exist by hiding them completely, I don't get it.

    iphone/ipad speaker dock

    Not 100% sure. I can tell you for sure that the dock I have will not play anything through the adapter. It won't do anything but charge, actually -- can't even use the iPod controls.

    iphone/ipad speaker dock

    Are there any that are reasonably inexpensive that actually work with the iPhone 5 out on the market yet? The dock I do have (Sony one that sucks, I wouldn't recommend it) won't play via the lightning <-> 30 pin adapter, and I'm told this is true of all 30 pin docks.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    The answer is that you're a hypocrite for eating it in the first place if you're trying to sell us on not eating it in the first place. Beyond that, if you hadn't eaten grains for so long, perhaps you had a reaction because your body was all like "what the hell, I don't remember these" and...

    Cydia repos are behaving much better today. Managed to download all of my old stuff through PkgBackup. It worked surprisingly well. God, I missed the jailbreak.

    Smartphones

    Jailbreaking is a lot "safer" than it used to be, thanks in part to the tremendous demand for it. Of course, the problem with tremendous demand is... tremendous demand. Some of the repositories are completely jammed right now. Such a pain in the ass, but hey, at least we can jailbreak again.

    I was trying to grab PkgBackup so I can try to restore the package loadout from my 4s to my 5, but that's absolutely not going to happen in this state. I'm gonna have to wait at least a few days while the hurricane passes. I can't even install a couple of packages at this point and it's...

    As usual, Cydia is fucking useless on release day. If you've never jailbroken before, do yourself a favour and wait a week while shit calms down. It is absolutely, 100% impossible to brick your iPhone with a jailbreak. The only thing that can possibly harm your phone is something that messes...

    By your argument, we should still be using PCI for video because most people don't need the bandwidth that AGP delivered.

    Windows 8

    IT is a world of variables. OS upgrades introduce way too many of them. So, I stand by the use of the word "suck". =) In all honesty, you're right. For most people, it isn't truly an issue, but it's just not worth the risk in my opinion. I hardly trust Microsoft enough to get a clean install...

    Windows 8

    With your hard disk changing, chances are your software will need to be reactivated anyway as that is generally one of the pieces of hardware used to put together your machine ID. Windows will almost certainly need to be reactivated. I make it a point never to do an in-place OS upgrade. Far...

    This isn't a consumer confusion issue. Are you fucking kidding me? On a 64GB drive, the OS is using nearly two thirds of the available space on the flash.

    Tablets

    The Windows RT Surface isn't much better in terms of initial bloat, and RT compares just fine to Android and iOS. In any case, you're absolutely correct in terms of only needing ~15GB for the OS, and that can be pared down a bit further once it's installed and running. There's no getting around...

    Priority queuing for Founders will piss off people that are trying it out with F2P first if the queues are too big. Meh. We'll see how bad the queues are, I guess.

    Oh, I dunno, false advertising, maybe? It's beyond ridiculous that you have to resort to using a slow SD card to make up for the fact that ~65% of your 64GB flash is used by Windows and unavailable for anything else. This problem simply doesn't exist with Android and iOS alternatives, so...

    You don't have to roll on the new servers if you're F2P, do you? You can still choose the older ones, right? (please, tell me this isn't a trap)

    Everything he answered is correct with the possible exception of video capture/audio interface, which are readily available externally. You're either trolling, or way out of your league right now. FWIW, there are plenty of 1GbE Ethernet adapters that are PCI-E as well, but I suppose they're...

    MCSA. If you use Server 2008/Windows 7, go with Server 2008. If you're looking for the newest, go Server 2012. MCSE is the next logical progression from there, but if you're looking for the basics, it's MCSA at this point.

    Hell, ChromeBoxes already ship with 16GB SSDs in them. Large enough for most OSes and a smattering of apps. Throw your data on an external drive and you're good.

    I'd love to know how they were able to do that. I've yet to find a way to pass 3D successfully to VMware with OSX. My VMware Hackintosh won't launch EQ at all. Says no 3D devices detected, and I've tried everything I can think of.

    You may be completely correct in that it's a waste of time, but it's a reasonable question. If the answer to "can I tell my operating system not to screw around with what I put where" is "no", don't you think that's a bit of a problem? I don't care how inefficient keeping stuff on the SSD is in...

    Huh? The only argument I've seen come up multiple times is the lack of widespread adoption of Thunderbolt, which is absolutely correct. There are two paths this can go down. a) Thunderbolt becomes the next USB. USB3 fades into the background and is eventually obsoleted by Thunderbolt et...
