• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Hackers Took Info On Every Current Federal Government Worker

    Better to burn those heretics at the stake who are suggesting some sort of accountability that includes consequences beyond a forced paid vacation and get back to sleep. This sort of thing happens all the time in the private sector. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

    Thoughts On Gender Equality In Tech, Interrupted

    Good old Gender Equality. The latest event in the Victim Olympics being pushed by the usual suspects. The genders have never been, nor will they ever be equal. Both have strengths and weaknesses. The concept of equal treatment under the law has somehow morphed into equal outcomes even if it must...

    TV Ratings See Double-Digit Declines For Fifth Straight Month

    When the time came to tighten the belt a bit and eliminate unnecessary expenses recently, cable was the first bill on the chopping block. A discussion with Charter on how low I could get the bill sealed the deal. The lowest price they would offer for barebones basic cable was $59.99 and $7...

    U.S. Companies Are Stashing $2.1 Trillion Overseas To Avoid Taxes

    In part because: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”. It is also a convenient boogeyman to take on a walk for certain pet issues to rile up a respective base. The letter of the law is all that matters and everyone knows...

    8 Things Anita Sarkeesian Wants To Change About Video Games

    Should have posted a trigger warning here. Many people cannot handle a reminder of this inconvenient truth and will fall into denialism mode immediately.

    FedEx Refuses To Ship Machine That Can Make Untraceable Guns

    "Again care to share how I am wrong? How is the AR-15 more deadly now than in 1963? Lets start there." You can't reason with the unreasonable so why give their demonstrably uninformed opinion any sort of validation by responding? You will get nothing but deflections, attempts to control the...

    In search for a good Strategy/Tactics game turn based

    +1. I'm playing through this game again and it rocks. You can crank the resolution and settings since the game is older and it looks pretty good for its age. Its all about the epic strategery anyway, but the graphics are passable. From what I've read, there is a new Vandal Hearts out on 360...

    Any good turn based strategy games out?

    Semi-recently set out to find new turn based tactics/strategy games (need an updated FF Tactics or Vandal Hearts badly!) and discovered Silent Storm. Has some interesting game mechanics.

    EVE Player Flags

    All standings, other than those by/towards NPC corps, are manually set by you, your CEO or alliance leadership. Say some guy keeps flipping your cans while mining. It wouldn't be a bad idea to set his whole corp red so you can glance at local and see if he has friends who can counter attack...

    EVE, Sins or Gal.Civ II?

    I've been playing for a few years now and it has damn near ruined me for any other games :D. A few things worth noting are; The backstories are all pretty much void-fill. Basically there to get you used to the mechanics and hold your hand until you get into a player run corp with 'real'...

    Compaq Smart Array 431, how to expand partition?

    Cool monday it is then :). I recently replaced a failed 32GB drive in one of the machines and seem to recall the array utility was pretty barebones. As an aside I have used PM on a few occasions and even though it was successful each time, it always seemed dicey for some reason. Don't know if I...

    Compaq Smart Array 431, how to expand partition?

    From what I can tell your controller does support OCE but it appears the whitepapers section of HPs site is down right now. We have a few ML series servers at work that I can fondle monday if you can wait that long. Otherwise you could always backup the array, recreate it at the full size then...

    I'd wish MMORPGs would go away.

    Rgr that :) I satisfy the digital crack addiction via EvE also. The problem I see is, a game that complex could never be pulled off in a single player format. And really part of the appeal for me is that its a sandbox style "do whatever you want", 23/7 pvp game. Playing with a group of...

    Powerstone 1 and/or 2 is a really unique fighting game. Goes especially well with alcohol and friends :)
