It's my position that you're making a holy grail out of a coffee cup. It may be a particularly nice coffee cup, but in the end, it isn't the second coming of anything. It also doesn't justify the purchase of a Mac, which is (if I recall correctly) how this whole debate got started, right...

Really, Aychamo? Really? USB has this thing called a "hub". Jesus christ. There are also a plethora of USB3 ethernet adapters out there. Fucking ridiculous. Do you even bother looking your shit up? And let's not forget the many, many, MANY things that USB can do that Thunderbolt can't. You...

Yep. Oh well, sucks to be them.

If it's volume license, whatever company that is will likely get the product key cancelled.

Really? I thought it was getting pretty fucking sad. I can't even agree with most of this anymore. Thunderbolt being useful? OP being a paid shill? Macs being unable to play games, even though it has been said over and over that they run Windows? What? It's like this thread has a stupid...

Just bought one of these a short while ago:http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16816111177. It's great. No problems, runs cool and is reasonably quiet. JBOD only, but I did what you suggested you might do -- I was using a software RAID with it, and have since switched to FlexRAID. Yes...

It's a virus in the same way that IE is one.

As has been made quite clear in this thread, you can do whatever you want with OS X, provided you know how. If you're too slow to open Terminal, the fault doesn't lie with the OS. I mean, I don't even really see how you can say that they're dumbed down. How is Windows not equally "dumb"...

Vvoid: The jailbroken bit was for Pwntunes only. Yeah, I forgot about that, you will need the Apple Mobile Device Support installation which only comes with iTunes. There is no standalone installer.

This isn't necessarily doable with every card, but yes, it would work as well. That's why I asked what hardware he has.

I don't think that was an age thing, Grim1. That was more of a personality type thing. EQ wasn't as "cool" as games are today. Hell, the entire internet did a shift in popularity between then and now, and all kinds of people are introducing their friends and kids and parents and dogs to games...

You're not doing a great job of representing your server by acting like this. You could just ignore him, but the thing is, he's pretty much dead on correct about boxing. Left unchecked, it allows people to ruin servers.

Strange. You might want to do a restore at some point. It would be hell if that actually started using cellular data...

Nah, it doesn't. I'm running it right now on my iPod without iTunes ever having been installed on this PC. Edit: It does require .NET 3.5. If it isn't working for you, try installing that first.

Jailbroken? Get Pwntunes (through Cydia). It's awesome. If not, trySharepod, not sure it'll work for the iPhone though. Haven't used it in ages. Should be good for the iPods.

Depends on how badly someone wants to finger you for a download. Litigants try to tie IP addresses to a single client all the time, but if you're on a public hotspot, you're leaving more than your IP. You're leaving your workstation name and MAC lying around. So, yes, it can conceivably be...

Well, yeah, of course it can be done, but if it's a single computer, there are questions unanswered here. Like, for example: Do you have two sound cards? If not, she's gonna hear you playing whatever you're playing, and you're gonna hear her show. Or you're gonna turn the game sound off and...

Need a bit more information there. Like, how many devices are involved here? Just a single computer? What are you streaming it from? etc.

I used to 6 box when people were slacking and not logging on for raids. It was a lot of work and not much fun. I didn't do it often. It's one thing to box to replace people on a raid. It's quite another thing to make your own xp groups and not socialize with anyone.

Sweet. I'd like to check this out, but I'm not gonna go buy an Android phone to do it.

Google made an ARMMO? What the hell. Android only?

I stand corrected. Thanks for the info!

No, it's not propaganda, it was... a question. I'll never understand, for the life of me, why you guys have such issues answering a simple question. Of course my understanding is short-sighted. I don't know what it's like to feel the need to own a gun. This is why I'm asking questions. They may...

Armed with what, exactly? Hunting rifles? And where do you get 31%, anyway? I'm open to the likelihood that I'm wrong here, but... show me.

Uh, no, I live in a country where pretty much no one is armed, certainly not to protect their home anyway, and we do just fine. If you want to protect your country up here, you enlist. You're telling me that an AR-15 isn't considered escalation from, say, your average handgun?

Is that really likely, or are they just going to arm themselves with something "better"?

First of all, It's a figure of speech. I don't mean possessing so many weapons that they're drowning in them. I mean armed with the latest in weaponry, which you suggested by using the word "modern". Also, you seem to be suggesting that because I don't understand the apparent need to arm myself...

I don't think I fully understand. You're arguing that we're inherently aggressive, yet you want us to be armed to the teeth as well? What am I missing here?

You can kill with a soup spoon. You can also kill with a gun. Surely you aren't attempting to argue that it's equally easy to kill with a soup spoon as it is to do so with a gun? Yes, there were homicides before the invention of guns. I'm sure there have been -more- homicides since the...

Holy shit, I might get some use out of my PS3 again. Sweet.

It's fun, actually. Then again, I find Fear breaks fun all the time. I'm weird like that. Anyway, your point about boxing is certainly valid if people follow the rules. I hope people follow them, but like Swagdaddy was saying (and I agree with him), if everyone boxes, it'll create a...

I have a Fitbit and it's pretty decent, but like the Nike+, it only tracks movement. You can use the companion app or the web site to track non-movement workouts and it packages everything up in a decent report that summarizes what you've done (which is mostly eye candy, but it's helpful...

Why are you referring to zerging like it's a good thing? =/

Oh, I get it, but if you're going to use the statement "but people will be dumb, let's ban x", a lot of things will be banned. I haven't boxed on EQ since back on Live. It's boring and completely anti-social, and I'd rather be social on a game like this. But, I like to think of it this way...

Yeah, I answer in ft/in/lb as well. My wife's from Belgium, and she gives me a dirty look every single time I don't use metric. It's worth it every time.

Doesn't matter if you've got fiber to the back of your PC if all you've got to the island is a microwave shot, though. =) But seriously, is there even sufficient service to the place to warrant it? It's one thing to roll it out, it's another thing to actually be able to put it to use.

Some people boxed 2, and some people boxed more than 2. Most people didn't, because you had to pay per account.

Never, ever use a backed up config on a different version of anything. This is a good practice no matter what you're doing. The single best way to configure anything when upgrading is to do it from scratch, otherwise you're inviting variables that were likely never present in the manufacturer's...

This. Claiming that margarine still has trans fats in it is akin to complaining, in this day and age, that gasoline is the devil because it's leaded.

Seconded. 16GB is enough for anything but A/V use. If you're going to be going heavy on the video, 16 may not be enough, but let's put things in perspective here -- converted for iPad 2 (so, 720p), all of LOTR and some other single movie I forget amount to ~10GB. That's a lot of video. If you...
