    The 20 Coolest Arcades in the World

    You will need to be more specific than that, as you have probably just described half to three-quarters of the people at Ground Kontrol at any given time. And me, for that matter.

    Comcast: Rumor That It Disconnects Tor Users “Wildly Inaccurate”

    Its not that Comcast is singling out Tor users... they disconnect pretty much everyone on a daily basis.

    Crappy games and the whole package of "exclusive pre-order content" that will be available to the whole world 3 months after release.

    Weird Invention of the Day

    I keep hearing the Comic Store Guy's voice saying "I have specifically instructed you to NOT disturb me while I am inside my Fortress of Solitude.

    Line of Clothing Designed For Web Surfing

    To me, this looks like someone has been aching to wear some Town & Country Surf Designs stuff from the 1980s, but is too cheap to buy the legitimate deal. I was not aware that the clothes I wear while doing nothing of any consequence could get any more comfortable than they are, and I think...

    McAfee Is Now Intel Security

    I was in Enterprise QA until 2006 in Beaverton. Consistently mismanaged and looking to waste $100 to save pennies, they never seemed to me to have any real clue as to what direction the industry was going, and were consequently always playing catch-up to the competition, even when the McAfee...

    Project:Laocoön - First NCase Build

    Yes, sorry... Thanksgiving has absorbed a lot of my time since last week, so I have not made much progress. My connectors are in, and I am getting a LOT better at crimping those tiny buggers. I haven't taken any pictures, just imagine yourself swearing at a crimper, some pins and a...

    Project:Laocoön - First NCase Build

    I ended up ordering the pins and connector I need from an online vendor, as the "electronics supply" place across town does not stock the parts I need. So... yet again, I am waiting on parts. I must confess at this point that I -still- have not made the 8-pin to two 6-pin PCIe cable I...

    Project:Laocoön - First NCase Build

    Check this out: I am 90% finished with the build. As I said in previous updates, I still need to run to the specialty electronics store across town and get the pins and connector I need to connect the bottom fan (not pictured today) to the GPU's fan header. Also: More to come!

    Project:Laocoön - First NCase Build

    O callou callay! I met the mail carrier at the door, and he handed me the solution to all my problems. Well... Okay, it was a box with a heat exchanger in it, not the Philosopher's Stone. But it does solve my biggest problem to date. To wit: Gaaah! The horror! That is one ugly stock...

    Project:Laocoön - First NCase Build

    Those are custom-ordered, specially-cast one-off caps made from myrrh by the finest Chirobistan craftspeople. I kid, I kid... they are 1 inch / 2.5cm nylon caps from the hardware store. My local (Westmoreland TrueValue) had them in black or white nylon and a couple other materials. Any...

    Project:Laocoön - First NCase Build

    I am sourcing a connector to replace the stock PWN plug on my big fan with the one on the card, so that the card can control the fan speed. Mostly, I need to make some time to get to the electronics supply shop on the other side of town.

    Project:Laocoön - First NCase Build

    And so, I finished Season 6 of Corner Gas and didn't finish the build yet. So, then... on to Season 19 of Top Gear, and some progress: RAM in place and cable goodness: From the back: And cleaned up the other side: You may have noticed that the fans are missing... yes...
