Even though I suppose it's in a different class than D2, folks can get Titan Quest + the first expansion on Steam for free at the moment. I think it lasts until the 30th, but it's folks' to keep once they add it to their collection....I remember playing the hell out of that game too.

Fortron/Source. At one point, they were also known as Sparkle. They were great back in the Thunderbird/socket 462 era...Then largely moved back to mediocrity (even if it's just lack of marketing) once everything started going dual rail 12v. Doubt you could say that they're bad, necessarily...

Looks like Deer could be : (a)Still in business, and also, (b)somehow managed to get other OEMs to relabel their PSU units? Joking, of course. But 300000000 [H]coins to anyone who notices/remembers the reference.

Back around the days of their DDR-2 offerings, I had a couple of their DDR1066 sticks, which went bad after a year or two; trying to get them RMA'd was akin to pulling teeth, to say the least. I seem to recall they might have required a little more voltage than others - Possibly bad bins? Has...

I wonder how many folks still go back to the Super Bowl halftime show that showed a scant half-seconds shot of titty and howl that their children are still scarred permanently by that moment, lol!

And Libertarians or Republicans aren't? I'd imagine that quite a few of them see the left's 'deluded oppression' to your reference, as some kind of Ayn Randian wet dream they've been waiting for since the 1800's, just saying! Is that a statement? Hardly. Simply an unproven theory.

What would be some advice for those looking to switch fields into IT-related fields from something else? My field's been in advertising and marketing, I'm looking to switch since the industry I was in for 20+ years is pretty small, and continuing to shrink; I got laid off at the end of...

It depends how nice the property looks, or if the local PD captain thinks they can make some quick bank off of it. They might snuffle at the media after the fact, and say, "we are conducting an investigation with internal affairs to see exactly what happened here", but at the same time they'll...

Nonsense. It just becomes more amusing to see how much further it could be kicked by the consumer afterwards.

You're reaching a little bit - I was actually looking at tying it together with the Equifax breach, actually. And we can see where that went. If it isn't getting tied up by an arbitration board, (where the company wins nearly every time) lawyers are the only ones getting rich in a class suit...

Where Acting Director of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Mick Mulvaney will prominently, and arrogantly scream at the top of his lungs, "SUCK MY ASS OUT WITH JELLY AND SYRUP, BITCHES!" before the case (not so) mysteriously disappears about as (again, not quite so) mysteriously as the...

It will be partying with roaches once the nukes take out everything else. Oh, that's before Keith Richards wakes up.

They want to see if there's a "live" number for them to spam incessantly. Kind of the same principle as having a firewall set to "REJECT" packets....That simply tells a hacker/phisher that there's SOMETHING at the IP they were pinging/fingering. (which is why the smart thing to do is simply...

https://hardforum.com/threads/fallout-76s-54gb-day-one-patch-is-bigger-than-the-actual-game.1971387/#post-1043929259 In the event you missed it a few posts before yours.... You're targeting the wrong folks, mang.

Except, the soda tax got repealed 8-10 weeks (or so) after it started. Sure, Crook County board was.....Not happy about this. Lots of the red light cameras have also gone bye-bye. Even the "surge" pricing for parking meters around Cubs stadium have also gone away. This one, was more that they...

Some of these companies should finally get classified as "people" - It'd make it a lot easier to classify them as enemy combatants or terrorists in that case.

Novell did the same thing with SuSe as well.

What. No mention of OS/2?

Declare these corps as individual people, as they've so been wanting. Then declare them as enemy combatants/terrorists. Drone strike the living fuck out of them, since people apparently think that's fine in this day and age. Oh, don't worry. that'll never happen, of course.

Certain it's public record to some degree to see how much Equifax's lobbyists and elected donors were paid to let this shit happen, and then simply refuse to enforce any kind of actual punishment. But we'll probably never really know 100%. Short answer : follow the money.

Nobody's going to do shit to them. Yet those same former execs will perform the double bird salute, while goatseing their rumps at the rest of the herd with complete impunity. EXEXEC USES TROLL GRIN! ITS SUPERDUPERWOOPERCROUPER EFFECTIVE!

You forgot, "consistently pushes unfinished projects to market" as well, but I do suppose everybody's playing that game these days.

same

Yep, fuck them.

If it wasn't for the fact that Macs have zero upgrade ability, the new models are horrible as shit to service, and that they continue to insist upon using hardware that MIGHT have been considered barely-cutting edge, 6 or 7 generations ago, they might actually have a chance. A closed-ass OS...

*shrug* Getting shitcanned is probably what the Zuck wants. So he can run for prez in 2020. :P

HIPAA-Bot says, "Can you say lawsuit?" Yeah, I know.....Not a very good joke. It's not as if consumers have any legal recourse anymore when a company's databases get their stretched, WIDE-OPEN goatse-holes quadruple fisted. I mean, if it can happen to Equifax and it appears more recently...

And didn't even have to (*allegedly) assault a poor Coca-Cola (TM) vending machine to get the point across.

Because the yokels will still eat that shit up in droves.

Still sleazy as all out. Fuck these people. (The devs, not the users)

FUCK EA. and pretty much, FUCK DICE. done with both.

Oh, Adobe WILL find a way to extend it past 2020. Just you wait. Not that I'll notice it anyway, as I unistalled it some time back as well.

Pretty much. :(

I don't think he's been found to have allegedly assaulted an innocent Coke vending machine either. For the record, Derek Smart absolutely HATES this shitshow vaporware experiment...And he's gone on record to expose it multiple times.

Which is exactly how soulless corporations want it.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling this is only going to continue a "Race to the bottom" regarding wages. If there isn't some variety of retraining actively being made available for these to-be-displaced workers, it's going to be another chapter similar to all of those folks who lost their steel...

Until the day it becomes self aware.

As long as corporations run this country, it ain't happening. It's moving closer to being the backdrop for a movie such as Elysium at this point. Minus the robot drones and nanotech.

And this cocksucker strikes me as being arrogant enough that not only does he expect a bonus this year, (and "accidentally" laying off thousands of engineers) he will FUCKING DEMAND AN 8 FIGURE BONUS. *shrug* And if this goes anything like the Equifax debacle, the worst that will happen is that...

Well, between NOT buying anything from EA or Ubisoft ever again, I'm not seeing a problem here. Fuck the both of them. You hate their tactics? You vote with your wallet - And you convince everyone to do the same. It's the only way these fuckheads will even remotely begin to listen.
