    Tablets

    Taking a course next month that supposedly provides a Surface included with the course materials. Gonna see what it can do then. I'm guessing it's the 32GB (so, really 16GB) model. They have MicroSD support, don't they?

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    @Daidraco: Most of FB/DA that remain are in TMO now. Yes, they're currently running the show. IB (whatever remains of it) is over on EQMac.

    Computer Issues

    You're certainly not alone in this. There are a lot of people with this problem and no one seems to know why it's happening -- and apparently, it just resolves itself after a while. Some people say that they've had luck with clearing caches, etc, but that the problem just comes back after a...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    This is the understatement of the year. Also next year, because it's close enough, and Velious isn't likely to be released in 2013, right?

    Windows 8

    Delighted to say that thread also works fine for me in Chrome. Both OS X and Win8. I think you guys downloaded the derp build of Chrome or something.

    I think the choice of building 64-bit Firefox (and therefore Waterfox) is still there, but not so sure the Mozilla team is going to care about it much if they aren't building nightlies. Who knows.

    Windows 8

    It works fine for me in Chrome. Memory isn't exactly at a premium these days for a lot of people, but Flash isn't known to be frugal at the best of times, no matter what you're using it with.

    What's wrong with Chrome and Flash?
  11. Alkorin

    Windows 8

    Well, no, there's Waterfox... which probably won't last long, given that Mozilla has suspended 64 bit builds at this point.

    Is there anything on par with NoScript / ScriptNo in IE?

    Must Have Software

    Well, yeah, but it's an order of magnitude larger and more complicated, too. I'd say that anyone who doesn't have a good working knowledge of unix/linux should stay away from cygwin...

    All kinds of stuff. I'm at work, no pr0n here. You can uncheck it so it doesn't display in the search results and trip firewalls/whatnot.

    I found Girls Und Panzer to be... boring. Maybe I gave up too early (ep 2 or 3) but... meh.

    Age of Wushu/Wulin - US Open Beta

    Agreed. That looks like the worst combat system I've ever seen.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    One would hope, since this is a fundamental thing in EQemu (via scripting). I mean, they must be using the same kind of idea, or how would they ever script a quest?

    Have you cheated?

    Let me repeat this just for you, since you're telling me it's bullshit: I will NEVER cheat on my wife. Not because she's my sun and moon and stars, but because I promised her I wouldn't, and that's something I consider binding. Is this because I'm going to avoid situations that may lead to...

    HDTVs

    We have a 50" Panasonic Viera and a reasonable amount of ambient lighting (don't know about overheads/tracks as we don't have that) doesn't seem to wash out the colour. I'd say that with the curtains, you'll likely be good to go. I imagine it would help if you had overhead lights on a dimmer if...

    About fohguild.org and Requiem

    For a guy that says "I'm out", Req just re-registered fohguild.org for 5 more years. Doesn't sound "out". Hopefully he'll do the right thing and point it here. I'm guessing no.

    How is this possible? Access SQL ODBC result

    Honestly, it would be best to go into SQL with something that isn't Access and check the validity of the data firsthand. It could be a lot of things at this point and we're kinda lacking insight into the (many) variables. Do you have access to SQL Studio or something?

    How is this possible? Access SQL ODBC result

    Hmm. How about a dump of the table contents? Any weird constraints on the key? You're right, looks very strange.

    Have you cheated?

    Never, and won't. When I got married, I said some words that included something about something something as long as we both shall live. How hard is this for some people to understand, anyway?

    Hardest Boss Fights (No MMO shit please)

    Oh, god. I hated that fight, but it only took me a couple tries. Hell, those dragons that randomly pop out at you over the 100 levels killed me more than he did. Crawmerax in Borderlands, 1 vs 1. Can't even remember how many times I died trying it.

    Computer Issues

    Check your event viewer. You should see entries in the Application or System logs stating that the nVidia driver is crashing and recovering successfully. If it's only a certain game, it might be a driver issue with that specific game, but this is usually a sign of overheating or that the GPU has...

    And there we go. The answer was right in my face, and I was still doing it wrong (manually adding things to the actual Start Screen folder in Explorer). Thanks!

    Windows 8

    If you want to see the Metro apps at the same time as the desktop/non-Metro apps, you can always use them split-screen if you have a widescreen monitor. Move your mouse to the top left corner, find the app you want to snap, right-click and snap to either side. You can drag the separator between...

    Quick question for coding and sed/awk geniuses..

    I can't even remember why I'm used to using cat like that. I've done it that way for longer than I can remember. Probably a (questionably bad) habit I picked up at some point when I was learning. Yeah, there's a lot of questionable regex there. This wasn't meant to be multi-purpose. I'd have...

    Smartphones

    It wouldn't be worth it at those roaming rates anyway, which is really too bad, given that it costs the telcos a grand total of absolutely nothing to allow us to roam. That's what makes the entire thing feel like you've been bent over the workbench. There is no additional cost for "long...

    Windows 8

    I thought this would bother me a great deal, but after a short while, I got used to the idea of just typing the first few characters of whatever I wanted to run and doing it that way. I use win-R most of the time anyway, so it's not like it's all that different anyway. The one thing that does...

    Windows 8

    Wow, that comes with a couple of caveats that kinda suck, doesn't it? No win+x? No Metro programs at all? I mean, I'm not a fan of Metro, but it is what it is -- the next generation of an operating system. Some things will suck. People need to get over it already and move on.

    What's broken about it? I use it all the time. Other than Match being shit, which it is on every platform, it seems fine to me.

    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    Heh, I've derped something up and can't make it work. Might just be the server. It won't find any releases in any group I download headers for. If people are finding alternatives, it's probably better not to bother putting up a new one anyway.
