Not anymore. I stole it last night.

This is where I weep a bit. I have a year and a half left on membership because they charged me twice by mistake. Oh well, I have 8 chars, so I suppose I would have been out of pocket anyway.

The eye candy only matters for the first 5 minutes. It can be the best-looking game in the world, but if the gaming part of the game sucks, the graphics won't redeem it for long.

AppleTV 1 and 2 are jailbreakable. 3 isn't (yet). If you buy one these days, I think you're getting a 3.

This is exactly what I'm doing. I bought a simple JBOD case (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16816111177) and I use software RAID 5 in Windows with 4x 3TB drives in the server, then another 4x 3TB drives in the DAS, and I rsync the content nightly (because rsync does differential...

Yes. A thousand times yes. Never rely on a RAID for backups. It's a patchwork solution at best and doesn't protect against a lot of things, like file system corruption, multiple drive failures, accidental file deletion, etc.

I dunno. The way I see it, if people are going to PTW, at least they can do it in a controlled fashion so it doesn't screw the in-game economy quite as badly. That makes things arguably better for others who don't want to be forced into using Station Cash.

Where do you work?Government of Canada What do you do?Network Administrator What field/industry?IT / Fed Gov't Wages?$80K Bonuses/SEP?No tangible bonuses, but training is free. Never underestimate free training. I am unionized, and we generally get cost of living increases every time...

Yeah, they are. I wish they weren't, but... whatever, it's the new business model. There's no escaping "progress".

Same as your RRSP. It's the American version of a retirement savings plan.

There are bits of the landscape in TERA that are off the beaten path and require some patience to get to. That, among a couple select other things, has kept me interested in the game longer than I probably would have been otherwise. Stuff like this: I had to jump that entire path to...

What's the point in PTW again? Hopefully there would only be a subset of servers that support this garbage (hopefully called the Trust Fund Babies server set or something equally representative). One of the best things about EQ was the sense of accomplishment you got from getting that level...

Son of a... I might have to abandon iPhone if that ends up being real.

Surprised you can't stream that directly from ESPN/Fox. You'd be surprised how quickly you stop caring about streaming quality when you realize that you aren't getting bent over by the cable/satellite companies anymore.

Isn't this pretty much the textbook definition of SOE fuckups?

Another thumbs down for the WDTV Live here. It's half effective and getting worse every year. It won't do 10-bit (I also watch a lot of anime) and won't play some of what I throw at it, depending on how it's been packaged. Best thing I ever did was get a cheap laptop and plug it into the TV.

Sometimes, this can be braced against the case with something like a rubber stopper or something so that there's less of a worry of the power supply moving. Hackish, but effective. That, or a metal brace attached to somewhere inside the case that won't be noticeable from outside.

Uh, no, I'd rather people play the game and work within the confines of said game to obtain what they want. Seems like basic economics to me -- you want something, you gather currency and pay for it. But, please, lecture me on how creating a black market economy that introduces artificial...

LOL. You talk about a thriving economy and offer RMT in the same paragraph... beautiful.

You could have a Curve. Don't feel so bad. At least I'm not paying for mine -- it's from work.

Anyone have a Samsung ChromeBox or have experience with them? About to buy one at a very reasonable price and interested in a real life review (as opposed to the few billion Google shills out there).

Wouldn't that be kinda easily interceptable though?

The Antec 300 has removable side panels on both sides and the front USB ports are at the top. A great case, and cheap too. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16811129042 Not sure about the others in that same line from Antec, but it's possible that they have both removable panels as...

Agreed, but since people getting bored and leaving will affect the game creator's bottom line, they go out of their way to keep people engaged. Some people want the repetition, some people don't want to be social, some people want to be bent over by RNGs all day, so... companies deliver. I...

Half the shit everyone does in every MMO is optional. That's necessary to give people the illusion that they can play the game(s) their way. In reality, if you're into min/maxing, there is usually only one way to go and it sometimes involves camping things that make you more efficient (but...

They've had massive issues with light leaking through the various cases they've made. Unless they've solved this, I can't see them using those case designs. It's pretty far-fetched.

Okay, yeah, I was wrong. It's this thing: 16% haste.

Yeah. 26% I think? Can't remember exactly.

This. One of my favourite memories from VZ was marching into BoT (I think it was, anyway) and offtanking Zephyros' raid event, already in progress, while we killed them all. Good times. Hi Caliel. Long time no see.

Yeah, I can see it happening, but after the language of Apple's recent claims in court (vs Samsung in particular), I'd find it hard to understand if they developed a product that had the same form factor as the S3/Note/Note 2. Unless they want to stay in court for the rest of the century...

Why not just buy a cheap phone wholesale? It'll be more expensive immediately, but you can likely just get a new SIM on your existing plan and continue to pay the same without changing anything. That's how it's worked for me on Rogers in Canada, anyway.

I don't believe this one for a second. Ranks up there with the pre-iPhone 4 rumour of a slide-out keyboard.

Fucking creepy, that is.

Try:https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...cpbko?hl=en-GB I use it, it works pretty well. You can edit saved sessions and remove tabs you don't care about, restore them to an existing (or new) window, manage multiple saved windows within a single session, etc.

They're well-built, the screens are amazing (and you spend hours staring at it, so it should be a factor), it can run both OS X and Windows on bare metal, and is a passable gaming laptop if that's what you want? It's no desktop replacement a-la Alienware/ASUS/whatever, but they're good...

Pondering paying for a seed box instead of using a VM on my home server (my upload bandwidth is shit), but not sure it's worth it. I'm managing to keep reasonably good ratios without using one, so I guess the question is, is security the only good reason to get one? Obviously, if you have a seed...

Not sure. I don't think it would do anything for me either way as VMware uses the mouse from the host OS. Looked some more and found a few apps: 1. One that apparently disables acceleration until you reboot. YMMV, it's a direct download link and I haven't installed it (too lazy to set my...

RevoTT invites all gone for now, I'll have more later, though.

Sounds like they'd be likely to fix it in a future BIOS update, but who knows. If you aren't comfortable with possibly ending up with a lemon, you're probably best demanding a refund or an exchange, as it isn't doing what it should be doing.

It's stuff like this that makes me do a double-take and throw in a "what the fuck?". If you have to download a third-party program on a PC, no one bats an eyelash. If you have to do it on a Mac (or jailbreak an iPhone, or whatever), people go apeshit because Apple should fix everything for...
