I have google fiber. I downloaded a game off steam at 100 MB/s, peaked at 114MB/s.

People seem to forget that Blizzard made HoTS to showcase the power of the updated SC2 map builder engine/arcade system. It was the fan base that begged them to make it into a full stand alone game.

I've been a fan of Blizzard games for a long time (since 1994). I've always tried to like FPS games but they rarely held my interest long enough to finish. I've had more fun playing Overwatch than I've had playing a game since the launch of WoW.

Diablo - minimal story (added as after thought) Diablo 2 - has story but mostly as you move between acts Diablo 3 - story forced onto player at the cost of game play (didn't help that the story was bad)

At work I've put out around 30 Samsung SSDs (to extend the life of older computers) and have 100+ Dell systems that shipped with SSDs. None have failed in the span of 3 to 4 years.

I was like all the above for years: wireless mice are stupid. I got a G900 and love it. I'll stick to wireless from now on. I've used Logitech mice since the early 90's.

Because Windows 10 is a beacon of stability in battery life on laptops ...

There's no problem to begin with. There's no campaigns to fix diversity in fields dominated by women or minorities, or in fields like trash collection which is almost all men. This is nothing more than finding a problem where there isn't one, creating a victim and an enemy and trying to gain...

Honestly, I don't know the facts for sure, just the stuff I've seen parroted on youtube. I'm guessing here, but all things being equally available to women which fields would these choose? Most say the more social fields like HR, they prefer to work with other humans instead of hardware. So...

It's pointless to argue facts. Women aren't interested in STEM fields. That fact doesn't matter; it's the patriarchy keeping women out of those fields.

Probably one of the white girls from Huffington Post?

I live in the KC area, where Google Fiber started, and I never understood their roll out plan. The started in some of the poorest areas and old but rich areas of KC. So you're rolling out to poor people and older people that probably don't see the need of fiber speeds. The parts of the KC...

I've had my share of calls. Lady bought Altec Lansing speakers and called to get help setting them up, that's what you call a shoot me now phone call. She said she had most of it done but had this one cable she didn't know what to do with. She started to describe it: long thick black cable...

This is the most ignorant thing I've read in awhile. I had a tech support job and we'd field calls from Doctors, CEOs, kids that messed up their dad's computer, people in college, house wives and retired people. When it comes to working with a customer on the phone their intelligence had...

My first real tech job was with Gateway 2000 in 1995. I was a first level tech and I used to have to walk people through doing everything (there was no remote login back then, people have it so easy now). From replacing a motherboard to re-installing Windows 3.11 (I started just before Windows...

It's not common sense it's based on company policy. I work for a large manufacturer with thousands of employees across the country, a few hundred in my location, and it's no big deal. Mail room gets something, they email me, I go pick it up.

This is why you ship your stuff to your work. Unless your company has policies against it I have no idea why no one does this. The carrier can't just throw it to the curb, they normally have multiple to deliver so they have to bring it in to the mail room (if there is one), and you're there to...

I'm old and have been using GIFs since the 80s. I remember reading an article late 80s/early 90s where the creator said it was pronounced JIFF and I happened to pronounce it that way too. At that point it's like a proper name you can't pronounce it however you like. It's kinda like the Lara...

I got this monitor too. It is a bit washed out but with calibration it's pretty good, DOOM looks fine to me, but never played it on a CRT.

G-sync is actually really nice and makes gaming so much smoother and enjoyable. I just upgraded to the GTX 1080 and a 1440 144 monitor with g-sync. Got the video card first and it didn't feel that much better than my Titan with my old 1200 monitor (still had all the tearing and stuttering...

I'll never understand people's need to identify with a character in a video game. I watched a video on youtube where some really fat guy was happy Blizzard put Roadhog in Overwatch, because there's a character that represents him and that he can identify with. Why can't people enjoy things for...

A lot better than In the Name of the King.

Only reason this game is still slightly relevant because AMD fanboys use it to try and prove their video cards' dominance and feel better about themselves.

heh, this was when I worked at Babbage's.

1070. Don't have the money? Save and wait.

When I worked retail in a mall I'd get threats from people that weren't even customers. They'd call and make up some story about whatever and say they are going to meet me in the parking lot when I get off work.

I loved Pascal. I learned it on 8088's in 1990. Man.

I use html5 with Safari on my Mac, works fine, just can't set the quality. It looks as good as source most the time and it's not keeping my CPU at 55% anymore. I'll give up the control and maybe a little quality not to have my iMac running at freaking 55% CPU for hours. With HTML5 it runs at...

They need to fix it so it supports wide gamut monitors!

I don't know what you guys are doing but I normally can figure out the issue with the code, mini dump and/or google.

Yep, which is why the military uses female voices.

My iPad 3 upgraded just fine over the air.
