    TERA

    Shit. My wife is a pedo? At least she doesn't play Elin.

    Anyone else still play this?

    Virtualization (VMware, VirtualBox, Hyper-V, ...)

    Since virtualization generally has its own unique set of problems (and solutions), and I'm always messing with VMs, I figured I'd start this one. I'm currently running a lab infrastructure at home using Hyper-V R2, and a bunch of miscellaneous VMs on some of my workstations using VMware...

    Good call. From the moment he broke through, he appeared to only have his sword. She didn't have it back, though. Who knows.

    Also, we need spoiler tags bigtime, or am I missing something?

    Fall 2012 Anime Thread

    FT's filler is decent, yeah. You're not really left asking "how the fuck would they even make that work if it were canon", like with Bleach especially. Gotta love this week's last fight, too. I kinda want to know what the hell Ultear did to him in the end that made him lose conciousness. =D

    Smartphones

    Already is. Way too many choices on the Android side of things, although in the end, most of them boil down to the same generic product, reskinned, with some semi-tainted old/cut up version of Android on it.

    Laptop Computers

    The G75 is a sweet rig. Bought one when my Alienware was dead and I wasn't sure if Dell would fix it. They did, so I took the Asus back. I have an Alienware M17x R2 / M11x R3 myself. Yes, I know I overspent... but the thing is, the M17x R2 is 3+ years old and still running pretty much...

    Yes. 2 of them, even.

    Fall 2012 Anime Thread

    I like the plot in the second half too, but the idea that they couldn't die made everything a bit edgier. I just wish they'd spent less time on the Kirito-Leafa thing and made Asuna a little less helpless. She's kinda the antithesis of the first half's Asuna now. Edit: Exactly, what Kaige...

    Hoping SAO doesn't degenerate into much more imouto drama... doesn't seem that there would be enough time left in the season for it, anyway.

    NSA building super database to...

    The idea of compiling "everything" in any one place is a bit unbelievable. "Everything" on the internet is of an order of magnitude that probably couldn't fit in one place for long, and even then, how long would you have to data mine before you had anything resembling enough data for contextual...

    Not a dad yet, but will be in about 4 months... I didn't really know it was possible to be this excited and terrified at the same time until I sat down and thought about what is about to happen. Gonna be paying attention here, though, because I've already learned a few things I never really...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    There are a great number of things that EQemu, as good as it is in some respects, will never be able to do because they've built it towards a client version that has done away with some concepts (like the things Flunklesnarkin listed) or has features that people don't want (like item links, for...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Internet pitchfork mobs are the best mobs. Especially when they're butthurt over loot table or balance issues. In any case, I'm kinda with Flunklesnarkin on this. Newer MMOs never hold my interest for long and I'm always wishing I were playing EQ again.

    Seems to work on an iPhone (in both mobile and desktop modes). Posting this from mine now.

    Yo, Pesc! Long time no talk. =) Yeah, it sounds like onboard is the way to go. It's easy to add a cheap one later, and unless you go with a truly cheapo PSU, you'll have the leeway to do it.

    Happy with iPad 2. No need for anything else. I have a shitty Acer Iconia A100 for the few Android things I wanted to check out, but it's horrible by comparison.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    You'd figure, but the prospect of server admin corruption also isn't as prevalent in games with subscriptions. If it's your job to keep a game running without bullshit like third party tools ruining the gameplay for others, I think most admins would tend to take that a bit more seriously than a...

    Desktop Computers

    For what you're describing, the 4000 should be fine. You can always add a video card later if you need it for something, but it's not like World of Goo is all that GPU crazy. I have G.Skill RAM in my laptops and desktops and it runs fine. Never had a problem.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    I wasn't planning on being a GM, just a dev. Wouldn't want to do both, because nothing annoys me more than watching people trash shit I've worked on for a long period of time. I can imagine they'd feel the same way. Besides, let's face it -- most coders aren't great customer service people.

    Kicking it works for me. Or water cooling. Just not both at the same time.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    I wish I'd had the time to finish the project I was working on with the EQemu source, but at the end of the day, this is one of the reasons I didn't bother. I didn't have the tools to stop people from being, well, Tools. If Yeahlight is going to provide this kind of thing to people who want...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Hopefully, there will be some sort of code of conduct for potential server operators, and those in charge of holding them to that code won't be a bunch of overzealous dicks. Still, seems odd to call those who don't code out and then refuse to run the servers themselves.
