I recently got a job offer from a well known company based in Seattle. They do a lot of retail as well as web services. I'll be leaving my current job and moving there. It will be a big change for me because I'm from a small town and work for a small company. I know there are some Seattle...

Hey guys, I'm primarily a software developer for embedded systems and desktop applications. My primary language being C# .NET. As you can see, I'm not much of a web developer. I'm working on a project for my master's degree that involves machine learning that is supposed to be a tool that a...

The company I work for is in dire need a more effective software development process. I understand the gist of agile and scrum and that is very popular. Anything would be much better than what we have now (mostly nothing). I work for a small company, with 3-4 software developers. They are...

I browse these forums on occasion to look at what is being discussed and what programming questions are being asked. The majority of the questions are regarding web development. I know that web development is extremely important and popular, but I feel like I'm a bit of an outcast. I'll admit...

In Asheron's call, a player could dodge arrows or war magic spells with the keyboard by strafing. There were no instant cast spells and once a spell was cast you could actually dodge it. Essentially if two mages were fighting each other, they could strafe to avoid the other players spells while...

SWTOR? LOL

I would really like a new monitor. My current monitor is 22" dell that I got from Walmart and only supports 1680x1050. I mostly play games on my computer and on occasion write software. I want a bigger monitor with better resolution first. While the S-IPS 30" panels look nice, I'm thinking that...

I was wondering how many individual connections a server can handle. I'm not talking about a web-server.. but it would be similar to a simple client / server program that allowed text chat among some other small amounts of data (the details here aren't that important). For argument sake, pretend...

At work we're talking about getting new machines and I was wondering if any of you had suggestions. This would be for the software developers. We write software for embedded electronics (and for PC) and typically have multiple copies of visual studio and many, many other applications loaded at...

With several games I've played recently I have to make sure to disable vsync or I have terrible mouse lag. I'm not being picky, I mean the game is almost completely unplayable and the mouse feels like it is on a long string. I understand what vsync does, but is this unavoidable in games with...

I got Black Ops around x-mas time (for PC) and been trying to play it have been finding it kinda boring... and even annoying. I haven't played any COD games before, but I have several complaints about this game. First, there are a constant stream of enemies and shooting more doesn't really do...

Hey guys.. I'm attempting to create an x-mas list and thinking of ideas for myself... One idea I had was for a new monitor and I was hoping you could suggest which ones to look at. My current monitor: 22" or 21" Widescreen Dell 1680x1050 What I use my desktop for: Games (MMO...

Alright, I'm wanting to build a custom desk. Actually, you should think more along the lines of a custom command center / workstation. I have a large room, that I'm completely not using. I want to move my computer into this room and make my own desk to do everything that I could possibly want...

I tried to search and find this but maybe I'm not searching the right keywords. I can't tell from the screen shots either... but how does the perspective work when you have monitors angled at you with eyefinity. Does something do a transformation to adjust for the angle of the monitor? Or are...

I've done the paper click quite a few times to test a psu, or a fan or something to see if it works. Green to black, even the same pin. Well I am at work and they were giving away free computer parts and I grabbed an Antec 300W psu I was going to take, and I decided to check it if was good...

My thread under general hardware got moved, to general hardware. I posted it there, why would you move it to the same forum it was posted to! This is not the first time, I remember it happening before, and it's annoying that my thread says moved. Why are mod's moving my thread when I posted...

fan Damn, $30 for fan?! That may be canadian but still that's like $25 US. That's a lot of money for one fan.

I bought a 250 gig HD a while back and it has been giving me problems. I think it is because you are suppsed to have a bios that supports 48-bit lba, mine is 32 bit but the bios could "see" the whole drive so I figured everything was fine until the other day all the files on the 250gb was...

What is a good choice for one of those silent or nearly silent power supplies. I want one that is a good brand and high quality, one that someone who knew a lot about electronics would think is good for sure. Also, if you have 2 suggestions.. one that's good and maybe one that's good but...
