About a year ago I sent an important email. Fast-forward to today, it turns out the other party has no recollection of receiving it. Now, I don't care if it was opened or not, or if it went to spam. All I care about is delivery. I sent this email through Gmail using one of my email aliases. I...

Google should simply down-rank shitty websites with lots of bloat. Problem solved.

...And firing your employees for their beliefs isn't a hateful attitude? WTF. Liberals.

I'm not a Windows developer (or even a user), but soon enough I will have to build a native Windows application. Knowing almost nothing, here's my dilemma - should it be a universal app or a desktop app? Mobile devices are of no concern, an app already exists for those (I believe written with...

Thanks, pxc. I got a GTX 1060 earlier this week. I went through Arch's Wiki on the subject instead of the guide, as it's more up-to-date. Once I got a Win 7 VM up and running, the VM was able to detect the GTX 460 GPU, and I was able to install drivers (using a virtual display). However, out...

I would like to play some older Windows games. I run Linux on a daily basis and don't want to dual boot. I'm also not interested in Wine. I have a motherboard that supports VT-d. Specifically, I have: Mobo: Intel BOXDX79TO CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2670 Video: NVIDIA GTX 460 A single keyboard and a...

lol @ photos Like the game was meant to be photo-realistic.

Mobile devices and Civ? I hope not. While the interface shouldn't be a problem, simplification is what scares me. If they dumbify the game, there will be a lot of disappointed fans. In fact, probably the entire fanbase.

One of the awesome perks of Project Fi is that... It works pretty much everywhere. I've been on vacation for the last 10 days or so in Istanbul and Athens. Great experience - had no issues whatsoever. Data cost me barely anything at $10 / GB. Of course, I used WiFi while in a hotel. I'm...

Does a user have an option between Unity 7 (+ X.org) and Unity 8 (+ Mir) during installations? How does that work? Just read Wikipedia on this release and info seems outdated.

See Rebates | ComEd - An Exelon Company

ComEd offers $100 rebates on these. May be applicable so the total would come out to $89.99.

High contrast and adjustable font size.

.Net is already supported on Linux and OSX through Mono. Microsoft isn't solving any problems on Linux. In fact, they will probably create one by offering commercial products and neglecting true (GPL or similar) open-source offerings. Similar to how Oracle neglected MySQL in favor of their own...

Not a game but... Google Earth? I could spend hundreds of hours in it and not be bored.

Doomsday for Xamarin. They will probably focus on Windows phone support (well, duh) and neglect others. Developers will just flock to alternative projects. Development will cease and Microsoft will be back to square one.

I've used the auto insurance portion once. Ran into it by accident when searching for car insurance. Got only a couple of quotes from companies that I've never even heard of. Rates weren't great. Would I have used it again? Probably not.

Here's a list of my annoyances: Number of pages a thread has only shows when you hover over a thread. By looking at a thread list, it's hard to know which ones are lengthy. Hover effect over threads. Unnecessary. Posts have two date stamps, one at the top (header) and one and the bottom by the...

Would this work with power-line networking? That would be a monster.

Sunless Sea is a pretty fun game, for those who like to read. The gameplay itself (battles) is a little meh, gets very repetitive after a while. The developer itself gets an A+ though. I mistakenly purchased the game on Steam without looking at the OS support first (oh, indie game, it must be...

Very happy to see another DLC! http://store.steampowered.com/app/393010/ Haven't played it yet due to not being out on Linux (Vanilla and ROG are supported though). It downloads but I don't see a way to play it.

I have an older i5 750 system (LGA1156) with an even older HR-01 Plus cooler. Back-plate is currently being used with screw-in pins. I am planning to purchase an LGA2011 (v1) motherboard and a CPU. Officially, the HR-01 does not support LGA2011. However, according to some sites out...

Good, I don't know who either one of these people are.

Maybe when they will hire an additional 300 developers (lol, how many games have that many developers...), the game will get into even "fuller" development, thus, making the 300-people development team "not count".

Got my update yesterday. Took a while. Maybe this was the reason for the slow rollout, got it a month ago:

Just read a thread on GenMay about a fellow [H] member leaving Intel. There are more experts here than you may think, it's just a matter of figuring out who has the credibility.

Again, plenty of companies have released "anonymous" information in the past, only to be tied back to specific users with a little know-how. Or, Microsoft could accidentally leak this information. So there, you have at least three ways of possibly obtaining this data: Microsoft releasing...

Software specs have no value to a hacker? What? That's how hackers figure out potential vulnerabilities of a system. It can also be fairly easy to tie back supposedly anonymous data with a specific user or a system. Plenty of times throughout the history companies released what they...

What does the license give the customer? Proof that you're not going to be raped or killed by the driver? If so, then you'd be suing the issuer of the license if either case happened. Business license is just another form of taxation. That's all. It add ZERO to the service quality. In...

If you have Project Fi... You may get something from uncle Google this holiday season. :D Don't look if you don't want your gift spoiled!

Beyond the fact that it is silver, a silver coin has value because it's a coin, it's perfectly valid and acceptable currency. Rounds / bars only have barter value. Also, if a store starts accepting precious metal rounds or bars, they will soon have change, so I guess only a few customers...

Read his post again. He would like to connect a monitor, keyboard and a mouse to his phone.

Plus, if you were running as some http user, the only possible result would be a broken Magento installation, since that user shouldn't have access to your personal files. So, to sum it up, user stupidity strikes again.

23 gigabytes enough to stream all 5 season of Game of Thrones? I would consider 700 megabytes / episode poor quality, which would add up to roughly 35 gigabytes, if each season has 10 episodes... I guess it all depends what res, quality, codec, etc.

And yet even with a company with seemingly infinite resources they went with... Linux. (Actually, may not be entirely true as they purchased Android from another company, but the point is the same...) The only people stuck with Google's closed-source apps are people who choose Nexus...

A company burning 2-3 million a month? How does this happen? A triple-a lead developer doesn't make much more than $100k a year. How many devs does the game have? 10? 15? A typical senior artist is $70k. I bet the whole funding for A YEAR for people-that-matter could fit into A MONTH of their...

They make it from turtles?

I really enjoyed the Onslaught mode in 2004. VCTF I never found anywhere near as fun (was it even directly supported by Epic, or only custom maps?). Plain old CTF was better. Torlan map + Onslaught brings back memories.

I just received an invite to Project Fi. Going through the "wizard", it says that Project Fi is first available on Nexus 6. If I choose to get a SIM card only, will it work on Nexus 4? I understand Nexus 4 is not capable of connecting to Sprint networks, but I'm fine with T-Mobile only...

I understand the appeal of video learning tutorials (vs reading a book...), but this doesn't make much sense at all.
