Bump. Couple of items pending.

Thanks to Ryzen, I've finally put my old systems to rest! I'm looking to either recoup the cost or get some of the accessories I still need for my Raven Ridge emulation rig. I accept Paypal and check. Local pickup is available within a reasonable distance of the Beachwood, OH area. All items...

About Me Heatware: cr0ssfire Payment accepted: PayPal, BTC Shipping is always free! The Items 1x Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 Dirt3 Edition, Unlocked: $70 Product Info Picture After snoozing for most of the Black Friday sales, I decided toward the end that it was time to upgrade my video card, so...

I'm just going to leave this link here: Pale Moon. It's like the old Firefox: a browser that isn't obsessed with becoming Chrome. I switched over to it a few weeks ago, and it works well for my needs.

Dead again. Wow. Good thing I grabbed a pair without thinking.

Yep, this is an easy pickup.

This! Since getting my OPO, I've been able to do everything I couldn't do with my Nexus 4. I've got it loaded up with games, music, and even a bunch of Linux ISOs to use with DriveDroid, and I haven't even come close to maxing it out. Over the weekend, I picked up a Bluetooth gamepad to use...

Shame on those independent developers for trying to provide alternatives to a single distribution's vision. Shame on them for making their improvements available under open licenses that allow upstream projects to use them. Shame on them for giving users more choice. Shame on them. If you...

Just because everyday users aren't aware of what open source software is doesn't make it any less important. People interact with it every day, whether it's visiting a Web site that uses Apache, using an Android device, or connecting to a service like Netflix whose infrastructure is powered by...

You seem to conveniently ignore the fact that Windows is proprietary software. If Microsoft decided to go subscription-only and jack prices up to the moon, either you'd cough up the money or your computer would stop working. You wouldn't have a choice. There are no other providers of Windows...

And I'm another one. Just saying: Linux fits that description pretty well, except that you don't need to pay for the updates in most cases. I keep my Windows 7 partition around for certain specific use cases, but my daily driver is OpenSUSE. No, Linux doesn't have exactly the same...

It amazes me how easily people can be persuaded to give up basic amenities. Proprietary software benefits the creator at the expense of everyone else. A variety of arguments have convinced people that access to source code simply isn't necessary, even in this era of NSA surveillance and...

Sure. Pick up a Nexus 5 and be done with it. It's relatively cheap, relatively powerful, and comes with timely updates.

According to Microsoft's site, Windows 7 will receive mainstream support until January 2015 and then extended support until January 2020.

On the contrary: we've always been at war with Eastasia! Apple can do no wrong.

It's a a fine example of doublethink: the self-described proponents of "tolerance" and "equality" angrily demand a man's resignation for the crime of having an opinion different from theirs.

In that case, 35orless is a good alternative. It isn't an MVNO, as far as I can tell - it offers service on T-Mobile itself. Coverage, according to their rep on Howardforums, is equivalent to postpaid. You even get a T-Mobile SIM card in the mail when you sign up. Their base plan...

They're losing mindshare to Apple and Google, but I'd hardly say Microsoft is a sinking ship. (Unfortunately.)

A mobile operating system that nobody cares about combined with a desktop operating system that hasn't been able to make a serious dent in the market? Arriving to the market much later than its competitors? Made by a company that has pissed off what user base it has with privacy violations and...

As a kid who grew up with Sonic, and an avowed fan of the Genesis games to this day, I wish Sega would just let him die. I've lost track of how many times they've tried to reboot the franchise unsuccessfully. Sonic was cool at the time because he was edgy during a period when being edgy was...

Armstrong isn't much better than the big boys these days. They hit Internet customers with a 150GB monthly data cap this past spring, and you get 50GB more if you get telephone through them and another 50GB for subscribing to TV. So...yeah, they're trying to force you to buy all of their...

But people might actually have to take responsibility! Think of the implications! Well, we've outsourced everything else in this country. Might as well outsource parental responsibility to a corporation or the government while we're at it.

Not quite as good as the $40 Rosewill Cherry Blue on BF, but still a darn good price. I think I'll pick up a spare.

A lot of the questions you raised might be applicable to a standard business, but the place I'm working is quite different. It's a small arts school, and everything here is as informal as if you were working around a group of friends. Business contracts? Training? Not part of their culture. The...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc I just started my first job as a system administrator. We've got Linux servers and Macs in computer labs. I'd like to use this machine to try out KVM virtual machines for our servers, any CPU-intensive tasks I may...

Sure, it'll decrease by negative values.$100 per month - -$20 = $120 per month. See those savings? :p

And the first rule is that you don't talk about it. Shh! :o

Newegg's Rosewill mechanical keyboards go on sale for about $60 once in a while. In my case, it was less. They reduced the price of their white Rosewill Cherry Blue keyboard to $60 with a $20 MIR over Black Friday, and I managed to get one. I freaking LOVE this keyboard. My only other...

For the same reason people resist change in every other area of their lives: they're used to the old way. (Not that I'm defending Windows 8, by the way. Metro can DIAF.)

Yeah, well, you've got me there! :cool: Normally, I'm content to let fools be fools since it doesn't affect me. Facebook is an exception because people think there's something wrong with me when I tell them that I'm not on it and I don't want to be on it. I'm apparently an old man at the...

Couldn't people just...you know, use words to describe the way they're feeling? Are words not "cool" any longer? Do people on Facebook not know how to express themselves using simple sentences? The longer I'm away from social media, the more it looks like a collective insane asylum when I...

What proprietary software companies do best: forcing their will on customers. They know that companies are too hooked on Office and Windows to change to anything else.

You can't even have a token woman any longer. Unless a company has 50% or more women in the right places, it becomes discrimination in the eyes of the perpetual victims. I still find it hilarious that the people who complain the loudest about discrimination are often the same people who turn...

I bet this would be great to quiet down the whiny Freezer 11 LP I've got in my server. Hell, for the price, I'll probably pick up a couple of them in case I do any more ITX builds.

It couldn't possibly be worse than "Christmas season" beginning in September or October.

And CAN you believe it? Reversi!

Ah, but your mITX system isn't magical, is it? :p

If it does happen here, the cable companies will jack up prices to pad their profits. "You only pay for what you need" means that a company will keep the base rate exactly the same and gouge people for features that used to come standard. It'd be like data caps all over again.

Can I nominate Leo Apotheker? I'd like Microsoft to complete its downward spiral sooner rather than later.

Maybe they should include Reversi. I know that was a big reason for me to purchase Windows 1.0 :)
