    Microsoft Exec Sees Autumn Release For Windows 10

    Me, but it's really because I'm planning on replacing my entire system and I don't want to go with 8.1 if 10 is close. I would rather do a complete build and start fresh with windows 10. Believe it or not but I built my current system at the end of 2009 right when windows 7 came out (original...

    Can Money Buy You Happiness?

    - People stress about not having enough money (for whatever, it doesn't matter) - Stress is a major cause of unhappiness. So if you had more money then you wouldn't be stressing about those things and you would be less unhappy. All that might be true but it doesn't mean that having more money...

    Stupid Facebook Crook of the Day

    If it wasn't for states like Alabama and South Carolina us North Carolina folks would be 50th in everything. As it stands now we enjoy being in the "high 40's"; at least there's always one or two other states out there we can point at.

    US Credit Card System Begins Complete Overhaul

    As long as it still requires physical contact I'm fine with it; replace the old strip with new contacts wired to a chip but I'll continue to "modify" all RFID cards sent to me with my nail setter and hammer.

    MacBook Pro Running GTX 780 Ti Via Thunderbolt 2

    I don't really see this a specifically a laptop issue; this looks to me like the foundation for the holy grail of gaming; a fully modular gpu solution. You buy a gpu container box that includes - a standard interface to connect with a computer (laptop OR desktop) - a standard interface to...

    DICE Looking Into BF4 "Death Shield" Bug

    add me to the "ah ha, that's why" list. I just figured I had lag tossed and gotten the edge of a wall or something. Makes sense now if the hitbox is still standing there. queue the "impervious meat shield tank" exploiting...

    Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire XT Keyboard Review @ [H]

    I have this exact same keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches and red O rings. By far the best keyboard feel I've ever typed on. I have this setup at home and I also bought another one for use at work. I just couldn't stand going to work and dealing with a rubber dome keyboard every day after...

    The Secret Shame of an Unacquired Tech Worker

    It would be different if she was an engineer too and the only one not hired but that's not what happened. Also the bit about her making less than her coworkers is only comparable if they were doing the same job; which they weren't because she's not an engineer and they were. This would all...

    possible to find a "normal" wireless gaming mouse?

    I've never owned an official gaming mouse and I've been using a Logitech M505 for years now. All I want is a two button mouse with a scroll wheel that doesn't just spin freely (i like the detents feeling on the M505) that is designed to have polling rates in excess of the standard 125...

    great, so now we can sit there screaming at the impossibly broken pathing AI while looking at new buildings instead of sitting there screaming at the impossibly broken pathing AI while looking at old buildings.
