    A fix for the "On client "local" 127.0.0.1:36330: Option 'gpu-index' has ..." issue

    I see I had it as well and so I googled it. Found a fix at https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=27953. Specifically, this post: https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=27953#p278314 So I did as instructed, downloaded GPUs.txt and placed it in the right folder, and now I'm up...

    Windows 10 Upgrades Cannot Be Stopped

    Resistance is futile, and my OS will be absorbed into the Windows 10 collective? Lol, had to say it. ;)

    Update On PC Version Of Batman: Arkham Knight

    I think all the attention this has got, and the Steam refunds/cancelled sales, has caused upper management to decide that it's OK to spend what needs to be spent to release a game deserving of AAA prices, and inclusion in a AAA franchise.

    Game Discounts, Sales And Bundles Are Toxic

    My 2 cents (long story short): To all Publishers: Release a small demo of an early level of your developer's game six months before expected release. Then fix all the bugs you found as a result of this massive beta test. One month before final game release, whet our appetites with a polished...

    Cliff Bleszinski Says PC Is The Only Way To Go

    Lol, it would read better if he spoke of himself in the third person. "CliffyB enjoyed developing for consoles, but now CliffyB sees that once again PC's are where the action is!" I liked his enthusiasm and support for up and coming "mappers" for Unreal Tournament, so I balance that...

    Livestream is live! Really live!

    He was using hyperbole, let's cut him some slack. And he never mentioned an amount. ;) I'm used to people betting their rep. For example, I'd say, "feel free to look back at this post, and point and laugh, if I'm wrong". To me those are high enough stakes. The laughter, it burns. :)

    Something VERY strange happened today

    Excellent idea! One way of doing that: https://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=27479 I'm old sfashionedso I do within the folder but the linked way requires no explanation.

    Something VERY strange happened today

    If Kaspersky or Malwarebytes does scans then they might also have some sort of quarantine for stuff that seems suspicious. Can't hurt to check. Good luck tracking this down, it's got me curious as well.

    Something VERY strange happened today

    Any chance Microsoft Security Essentials/Windows Defender thought they could be viral and placed them in Quarantine? Do you have any kind of Cloud backing up/syncing enabled?

    XFX R9 290X Black OC Edition 4GB Video Card Review @ [H]

    Yeah, I was wondering if the lower number was for 2560x1440, but was incorrectly labeled in the comparison. That would explain the apples to apples number being higher.

    On the Fallout 4 Graphics Fallout

    Well, from a marketing standpoint, it can be useful to lower expectations. The public lately is ready to pounce when they sense over promising/under delivering. Bethesda tossed out concepts that have gotten many (though far from all) salivating: Featuring Boston, MIT, cyberpunk streets, and with...

    Steve Wozniak Calls Edward Snowden a ‘Total Hero’

    He was a wealthy geek, living in the USA. He now lives in Russia and I can't imagine a deal sweet enough to compensate for leaving behind the life he had. I don't want to get into it, I'd have to dig up links, but there are whistleblowers who took their chances by coming forward. Some even...
