    Are Windows Phones all but dead?

    Who told you that about the calendar? I have 8.1 on an Icon and also had 8(and 7 briefly). My calendaring has always worked great. My wife has an android and we pretty much use just a shared google calendar. I have my google account synced with my phone and use both the calendar and gmail...

    Darkest Dungeon: Turn-based Gothic rogue-like dungeon crawler

    I've found it pretty good so far, although a bit repetitive. I beat a couple of the first bosses last night and have 3 guys at level 3 and 2 more almost there. Had another at level 2 that would have leveled at the end of the mission, but she died with the necromancer boss at 3 hp's after two...

    From Full-Time to Contract Developer?

    That is pretty much my situation as well. I've been doing full time development(both web and windows) since around 2004/5 in .NET(also did some Delphi before that). I'm currently "Lead Web Developer" at my job. We have a lot of older code(web forms) and it's a struggle to try and get some...

    From Full-Time to Contract Developer?

    Good luck to you. If I did have a wife/kids and dire need of medical, I'd like to do the same thing. I'm probably too chicken to do it though. What kind of development do you do?

    Help me track down repeating Crash?

    Just something to try, but I had a somewhat similar issue a few years ago and it turned out to be bad ram. If I was just browsing the web or doing regular stuff everything was fine, as soon as I'd start to game though, I started having issues with crashes, not necessarily blue screens. Took...

    Powershell and Security Event Logs

    The IF statement is checking the Name property. It's only doing the #text part when I already know I'm on the right object that has TargetUserName for the name property. Once I have that, the line inside the IF statement is putting the text for the value of that field I'm adding. To break...

    Powershell and Security Event Logs

    Not the best way as I'm sure you could use XPath or something on the eventXML to query just what you wanted, but I just looped through all the fields and added the one I wanted. Using the same $EventLogQuery you already have defined - $allEvents = Get-WinEvent -FilterXml $EventLogQuery...

    Codec priority settings for C# softphone

    I haven't done that specifically, but according to the docs, you should be able to loop through all the codecs and disable/enable them. I'd guess you could disable them all except the one you want if it's available, if not than enable the next one that is in your list...

    Decommissioning a phpBB forum

    +1. Make a local backup copy of your folder containing all your phpbb files /forum or whatever the folder where it is installed is. I'd leave the database myself, but you could get rid of that as well. Any of the security holes in phpbb are going to be with the files themselves, so if you get...

    Home VOIP setup

    Nice. I have freepbx running in a VM, but it might be nice to have a dedicated small device. This would just be for the house, so probably around 3-5 phones max. Sounds like the PI or beaglbone would be a good option

    Great Idea Or Dumb Invention?

    :( I work in an open office. We didn't use to have one, but once they moved floors and redid the layout, the Dev/QA is area is open. Everyone else is at least cubes. I hate it.

    Home VOIP setup

    I've done the same. I had a sip based IVR project I was working on at one time for work and setup a callcentric NY number with freepbx and then had a softphone, the IVR software, and a cisco 7960 all hooked up. Callcentric quality seemed pretty decent and they have pretty good documentation as...

    Angular.js: What's the best way to do this?

    I'm pretty new to angular so this is just my feeling on it, I'm not a guru or expert by any means. In this case I would think about using a shared data service. You could combine the service with some eventing as needed. Make sure to be careful about using $broadcast vs $emit. I'd be...

    Power Shell - Write-Host & Out-File

    You should be able to just do a .ToString() on the $rt when combining them into $strCombined. Here's a sample of what I did which worked fine. I just have the write-host line in there to see what I was going to be writing to the file before I wrote it so I could double check it when I opened...

    How can I make a dropbox like site that will work with my home server?

    Some good suggestions here already with SSH and VPN. Another option is to set up a version control system like subversion over https/ssh and use that. You'd then be able to browse and sync anything back and forth from your repository similar to how dropbox does it. This would give you...

    Building online store with Inventory Management System as back-end?

    Their website doesn't say with database they use, but I'd think it would most likely be a sql database of some sort. Does your friend not know what database software they run on the server? This company seems to be pretty vague and also provides the hardware, so it sounds like they do all...

    vBulletin anti-spam measures

    I help run an older (3.7.8) vbulletin site. We get a decent amount of spammers that register, but only one or two a month that actually post. We use an addon that hooks into stopforumspam http://www.stopforumspam.com/contributions and the best thing we do is make it so you can't post new...

    ASP.NET MVC or Ruby on Rails (with background)

    If you're going to be using .NET, take a look at the web api stuff. I've found it great and cleaner/easier than traditional asmx/wcf stuff. http://www.asp.net/web-api

    Am I the only one who misses FMV in games?

    I really liked the Tex Murphy game, Under a Killing Moon. One of my neighbors when I was growing up worked for Access Software back in the day and let me borrow a copy. Microsoft ended up buying Access and eventually closed that studio down.

    USB Authorization Key

    Probably because they are an added expense and people make cracks that either emulate one being plugged in or just skip the checking part altogether. 3DStudio MAX and some other expensive software's had those and they always got cracked anyways.

    Which Cart, oscommerce, xcart, magento, etc??

    I used oscommerce a bit and hated it. Zencart has it's own issues, but I liked it a lot more than oscommerce. Can't really say on the others as I haven't used them.

    A Look Back At 3dfx Graphics Cards

    Not sure they should. I do think they should limit RPG's and Mortars to a set amount and non-refillable though.

    Bethesda: 'PC development is a headache'

    No release is completely bug free. I crashed like crazy in Fallout initially, but I don't remember much problems at all with Borderlands. I didn't buy it right on release, but haven't had a crashing problem with Space Marine at all and haven't heard much issues for Deus Ex. Seems pretty...

    Why are Macs becoming more popular for Network/System engineers?

    I'd guess it would be because: Work is paying for it, so the extra cost doesn't really matter They get the benefits of shell scripting on a unix based system in addition to being able to easily boot into windows as well. It's always nice to be familiar with all the major OS's when having to...

    Zynga To Employees: Give Back Stocks or You're Fired

    Do you really need top quality employees to pump out stuff like farmville and mafia wars though? If any other facebook game gets popular, they just rip it off and put the Zynga leverage behind it.

    Speaking of shotguns, how good is the saiga? I've been holding off on using shotguns much as the saiga was my favorite in BC2 and I was planning on using it again once I leveled up enough.

    Apple Kicks Developer That Found iOS Security Flaw

    Sounds like he did it in the right order to me. If he would have notified apple and then went public with it and not have submitted the app first, all the apple people/fanboys would have just said "oh, the approval process would have caught it. Nothing to see here, move along." He notified...

    Possible for two people to play bf3 on one pc?

    I doubt it. Even if you used two different browsers and were able to run two instances of battlelog(you'd still need two different accounts), I don't believe you can run two copies of origin at once so there would be no way to launch two copies of battlefield. Maybe I'm wrong, just seems...

    BF3 weapon damage chart

    Yeah, kinda weird if those numbers are correct. The suppressed 1911 loses nothing over the non suppressed except at one range. Everything else is the same including ranges both longer and shorter.
