*Casts line* *sniff* Fisherman1: Did you fart? Fisherman2: Nah, it's the worms... gotta squeeze them before putting them on your line... Fisherman1: Squeeze the worms? Fisherman2: Yeah, they were on sale at the Pro Bass Shop... said something about being previously used to...

Looks like Coronado is getting Google fibre first, but mayor faulconer is working on getting it in downtown to start (including coronado) and then working out to other counties from there: https://twitter.com/Kevin_Faulconer/status/642020580238102529

There are several starting to bubble up... Gizmodo has one in the works and ARSTechnica just released a prelim of one here: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/even-when-told-not-to-windows-10-just-cant-stop-talking-to-microsoft/

Click on the link I posted, it was built in the 1920's privately and has been privately owned since.

As a native San Diegan who has fished Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach, I can say this: 1) It is not very noisey at all out there because it is a rule to remain quiet at all times and most people on the pier are silently focused on their fishing anyways. The rule: No Disturbing Noise...

Here's the TDLR version as I understand it (posted by another, reiterated here): 1) No Blocking - An ISP cannot legally block any "legal content" for any reason what-so-ever. EXAMPLE: Comcast cannot prvent you from getting to Disney's website anymore just because they are having a cable TV...

If you bought it at Costco, you can still return it. Not sure about other store policies, but it would not hurt to check. You have 7 days right to return at several places. The TV is nice and all... I got mine at Christmas and do like the Smart interface, but I still have my reservations about...

I saw an ad for this "Target Ticket Service" in their Electronics section and asked the guy behind the counter about it: "Ah, well, it, um... *blink* It's expensive and I hate it" His response is the only reason I even recall this existed.

I wonder how their sales of Smart TV's have been affected by this whole eavesdropping and inserted streaming ads debacle. I personally hope it trashes them so much that their competitors (I'm looking at you LG, Panasonic and Sharp) avoid making similar mistakes with consumers. Side note, I own...

It will be interesting to see how well Apple is doing in 5, then 10 years from now. Their streak of success has followed a similar pattern to other well-known companies of the past and it is only a matter of time before the "next big thing" overshadows their current dominance in various...

I am hearing that KMS Servers will be obsoleted by Win10 and higher by a Microsoft hosted key management system. Anyone confirm this?

Does it come with one of these?

It's still not the holodeck we've been asking for since Star Trek NG... However, I am sure RedTube fans will love these... Hope they are liquid resistant.

Correction to the above, 2013 should be 2014. Sorry, coffee hasn't activated yet. :o

Based on heuristics from 2013-2014, almost half of the XP systems finally retired in 2013 went to increasing Windows 7 shares. The other half are split between all others in an uneven format. Windows 8/8.1 saw "some" growth, but it is very negligible (7%-11.2% for 2014) and could easily be...

Regardless of when it ends, unless Microsoft truly fixes Windows 10 in its final release form (I don't care about current builds), you will continue to see Windows 7 stay on top (51.69% of all desktop systems still run Windows 7 as of December 2014). If Windows 10 flops, Apple will most likely...

Mayday, mayday, mayday... Our ship is sinking! SOS! Sad really, I used to be an Athlon Fanboy in the 90's and early 2000's. Without Dirk Engineering and Sanders III leadership though, the company just hasn't been the same... Just a long list of failures.

When anyone attempts to make ANY amount of change with companies this big, it is like steering a battleship at full speed into a U-Turn. Yes, change must start from the top down, but I HIGHLY doubt any significant change will be seen by the consumer on this for quite some time (if ever). Once...

I'll give them props for the list, but I personally think "Civilization: Beyond Earth" or as I lovingly call it: "Civilization: Beyond Shitty" should have made the list.

So here's one that just happened to me last weekend: Neighbor boy is flying his drone around in his own yard while I am pruning one of my trees with a 12'ft pruning pole. He decides to fly over into my yard and buzz me... So I turn my pruning pole into a bat and whack his "micro drone" back...

@lilbabycat. Nope, first time for me too. Rather surprising build quality actually. I'm checking it out now.

Meh... RSI's Star Citizen has filled that void for me.

DST needs to end forever... Aside from North American and Europe, most of the world has dumped the annoying clock change antics. Wish the USA would too (I have no desire to move to Arizona where they don't have it).

Antec, the only pro choice. So what's your computer running on?

About a month ago I learned from a DoD friend that it is impossible to apply Asimovs Three Laws of Robotics to Military AI hardware... Since a vast majority of our AI has come to light BECAUSE of military application, I doubt that the first true AI would contain such code. Soldier: Fire...

XFCE or Gnome 2.x are what professionals use to get the job done... Gnome 3.x is fail.

Personally, I thought it sucked. As a kid the early 80's we used to highjack my Dad's Panasonic VHS CamCorder and do stop motion animation with Lego Space series... Had he executed something like that I would have been impressed. Otherwise, all he did was click some bricks together.

I administrate both EMC & NetApp SAN Storage at work... For FastCache/SSD & FlashCache/SSD respectively, they use either HGST SSD (EMC) and Intel SSD (NetApp). I have seen Samsung SSD in everything from Dell/HP server OS mirrors to Corporate Dell/HP Desktops (same with Intel actually), but...

I miss the old Quantum drives... Aside from their brush with their crappy fireball drives, Quantum Bigfoot, Atlas and Viking drives rocked! @YardofTue - I will attest to Hitachi drives... They may not be the fastest, but they do have the longest MTBF of any hard drive out there.

You shouldn't make a list like this without knowing someone is gonna knock it for being incomplete lol. Just gonna like Wikipedia here. Enterprise HDD... Hitachi is still the best for reliability Enterprise SSD.... Intel & Samsung seem to do the best so far Micropolis 9GB SCSI... So long...

Looks like a modified R4 case (which I own) for sure. Not a bad choice imo.

That's because EVERY movie since the 1970's has used the same formula. Within the last decade, it has been revised... You can blame Blake Snyder's screenwriting manual Save the Cat! for that.

It was just enjoyable to see the series revived after almost 30 years, that is all I will say.

Watch out! The Devil incarnate is preparing to spread his evil to the rest of mankind!!! After destroying several companies, International Boat Racing and even taking over part of Hawaii, he is ready to launch his master plan of forcing all to bow before the greatly bloated Oracle Database...

Truth be told, I did not find the prequels to be that bad either (except Jarjar). I am actually stoutly against Disney to be honest. I have had several family members work for them since the 1940's and not a single one of them supports the "Disney" of today... It's just another Corporation...

One can only dream...

Waiting for them to invent MadMax ToeCutter's fuel next... Turning Poop Into Power

But is it waterproof... or should I say little swimmer proof? Then again, it's probably better than this

I'd rather listen to and recite HHGTTG Vogon poetry than watch Mickey Jarjar Mouse ruin Star Wars by releasing a new film.

Duck, thanks for the response. I've been playing both sides of the NetApp/EMC camps now for 15 years and manage both architectures in my environment (Currently multiple FAS8040 and VNX2-5500s). I'm glad to hear NetApp is getting off its duff and making something new as it has been rather...
