I first had Net access through a local college in '87-88.
I don't remember the exact year, but I was using Archie to locate an update to NetHack/Angband and saw this 'thing' in the new files directory called a Browser. Downloaded it and was playing with it, but at that time there were all of...
Ordered some delivery food tonight, and the delivery website had a GPS tracker showing my order in route. Even gave me a picture of what the driver looked like.
Big Brother is not only watching, he is living in your back pocket.
Known that for years. lol. My PC tends to run 24/7 and has allowed me to shut off the Radiator in my PC room, even in winter. For reference I live in Minnesota, not the warmest of winter states... :)
In those days I was still a loyal Macintosh user, and remember laughing at all the 'new' and 'innovative' features.
I also remember getting a call that night to rescue a couple friends who's car wouldn't start after they got their midnight copies.
4 years later I switched to PC's and...
EA is so NOT good news. Or rather it is like a stake in the heart is good news to a Vampire...
So now all remaining SW franchises will be rushed out the door with an over priced Cash Shop and not a clue in freekin hell how to run good CS.
Welcome to your new shiny Star Wars release! A dancing...
I've been using a MSI Z77A-GD65 (non-Gaming) since last June and really see nothing all that special in the Gaming variant. Cool looking Heatsinks, and built in Killer NIC not withstanding.
Now if they had added higher grade capacitors, faster base clock speeds, something like that then it...
What the Frak? This Felgercarb again? :)
I did really enjoy the 2 episodes out so far. We'll see if the series quality holds up for the duration, but looking damn good from the start.
Pretty certain all this proves is how far behind the times politicians are.
The building I work in easily surpasses that daily, 1 major advertising firm, 2 patent firms, 4 legal offices, 2 software firms, and 9 floors of Oracle including a server farm.
Gods, the thing I remember most about the C64 was the CLANK CLANK, Grrrr, XCXCXCXCXCXCXCCX, Clank Clattter, Buzz whir, for 5 minutes every time it tried to access even the tiniest file from the Floppy.
Well, maybe not 5, but when you were waiting on an area or game to load it sure felt like 5...
We had an angora long-haired cat, she shed enough each day to almost make a whole newcat.
On day I started getting classic over heating troubles and when I opened the case the fins on all the heatsinks, and the fans, were packed solid with cat fur felt. Much more frequent cleanings after I saw...
Just bought and setup this MB this weekend using a 3770K. The only issue I had was that the my cpu cooler needed to have a flange trimmed to not interfere with the first DIMM slot.
Otherwise flawless install, updates.
Ran fine on my EVGA gtx560ti OC
Unless there was some feature to it I couldn't even tell was missing. Lots of lighting shifts and shadows.
So what makes it AMD only?
I was at a site recently that all the work floor PC's had a HUGE side fan taking up basically the entire left side. 12-16" beasts...
But, yeah, a window AC unit strapped on top would have been a riot.
John W. Campbell mentioned this back in the 1920's-30's in his Arcott, Morey and Wade stories. True he used Time bubbles then, but...
Roddenberry, or rather his ghost writer, mentioned long ago in one of the Making of Star Trek books that the ship travels in a bubble and never actually...
One of the best pranks you could play on mac users, at least some years back. On startup it would sound the error tone beep. You would just go in and edit the beep tone to some LONG sound file. We used "Also Sprach Zarathustra" segment w/ drums from 2001, if the user hits any key during the...
Considering the number of non-music, non-movie Torrents out there for very legitimate DL's, I cannot see this going over well or lasting long. Even Warcraft uses a per system for distributing updates.
Grrrrr... Are these people morons, blissfully unaware of the programs advertised in the papers and on tv for the last 2 years. The switchover has already been delayed some 6 years now.
Wake up! Park that Model T! Get a new block of Ice for the IceBox! And gleefully move forward!
Friggin...
There has been talk of this for a few months now. What a job... count a few sea turtles, count a few birds, write a brief blog, get 100k and a six month vacation in paradise.
So many people tried to sign up that they crashed the servers in less than an hour they were saying on CNN.
