    The 25 Best Simulation Games Ever Made.

    Has nothing to do with that (e.g. Euro Truck Simulator is more arcady than simulatory as well). The reason is that Forza* is not on the PC and RPS is a PC gaming site. So the title of the article should be "The 25 Best Simulation Games Ever Made for the PC."

    Hash Functions/Tables

    In a nutshell, a hash table is an unordered array where each element of the array has a mathematical relationship to the array index it resides. The benefit of using a hash table is the O(1) time complexity, which is as good as you can get with a data structure.

    Leaving a youtube comment with out a G+ account?

    I never had to integrate G+ with Youtube. It was always optional, even though Google imposed you to do so. I believe all you have to do is click the icon on the top right of the page (right of the bell icon) and select your Youtube account.

    Best bang for buck wifi router on the market?

    I have no complaints about my Mikrotik RB951G-2HnD (~$80). Impressive performance, range, and stability. Options associated with a typical SOHO, off the shelf router can be configured in the simple Quickset panel.

    Use own modem and router for AT&T Uverse?

    Not sure where you got that information, but it is not true. Considering the customer is the one paying for the equipment, ISPs will use reliable, hassle free hardware that will guarantee their advertised speeds. And 3Mbps is hardly pushing it in these days. Heck, it is not even considered...

    Does Intel offer a 7260 series wireless card with MHF4 connectors?

    A quick Google shows Intel makes 7260NGW in two versions: Left one is a mini-PCIe card with U.FL headers, and the right one is a M.2 card with (from the looks of it) MHF4 headers. However, you want a mini-PCIe card with MHF4 headers. Lucky, adapters are available to convert M.2 to...

    Decided to finish Red Dead Redemption. Dunno why I've stop playing it midway through my first time around. Probably the Mexico hump. Anyways, got passed that and my god what a game! I can see why this game wasn't ported to the PC. It is very ambitious, and sadly, very buggy.

    I wouldn't bother too much about the setup video. If you select Home-AP, 99% of the configurations will be done by default. What I recommend is: 1) update RouterOS 2) update Routerboard firmware (most likely to be out of date but check first) 3) reset configurations (reason for this is newer...

    Fiber or Ethernet between house and garage?

    How much throughput do you need between buildings? If it's strictly internet, then you don't need much. I recommend checking out MoCA adapters (ethernet over coax). MoCA 1.1 can do ~175Mbps and coax cable is inexpensive and very simple to terminate.
