@BenBrocka Well, it's not like anyone anywhere had a choice between TWC and Comcast.

Even in those markets where people have choices, it's never between those two. They have zero overlap.

Unionhawk

I think there are literally 2 internet service providers around where I live. TWC and Cincinnati Bell.

user15026

Here there are a few, Bell, Rogers, TekSavvy, a couple other tiny ones

user15026

but really most people assume that Bell and Rogers are it, for, well, obvious reasons

Unionhawk

And I ran the numbers, the TWC package is cheaper given the specifications I was given to search by.

Q: What is the difference between city-state markets?

I've begun playing with the markets in Realm Reborn. The active help says that all markets are connected, so items sold in one city-state can be purchased from another. So basically it's a global pool? And the only difference between markets is the tax fee paid depending on the city the item was...

@DavidM yup :)

David M

@spugsley I've been using Nation's Photo Lab. But, I've considered using MPIXPro. I have enough portfolio to satisfy them, but I don't do a lot of volume.

Do you let them color correct for you?

spugsley

5:08 AM

@DavidM I think the port will be enough. I seriously love them. I get my prints almost overnight. Though you do have to order at least 15 dollars worth every time through their ordering system

@DavidM no. I never let anyone color correct for me

I edit to a very specific tonal scheme. If anyone messes with it, it wouldn't feel like my work

David M

@spugsley I do all of my own, too. But, I think I'm looking at it wrong. I think their color correction services are actually making the print match the sRGB thing you send them, not actually adjusting it . . .

@Arperum I just see to it that EA doesn't get my money.

Q: How can I recover a disconnected Warcraft 3 multiplayer game?

When playing Warcraft 3 multiplayer maps, there exists the option to save the game. The caution is given that only the original players are able to rejoin the map. I have discovered that a map saved after a disconnect does not permit them to rejoin. The only solution obvious to me would be to ed...

@Arperum I feel dirty for playing/enjoying EA games, though.

@spyder Holy shit.

rm -rf will be the best counter-sniper weapon :D

@KevinvanderVelden Android, obviously.

@MartinSojka I said opposed to, Android runs on linux

"Language" "good" and "google converter" should never be near each other.

He couldn't even get that right

@5pike I like to take such translations and try to guess what the proper sentence in the original language would have been. Sadly, my Turkish is way too bad for this case.

3ventic

Google translator gets some languages really well, and some languages very wrong

5pike

@MartinSojka How much punctuation is used in Turkish?

Because Google translate usually doesn't remove those.

Martin Sojka

@5pike About average, I'd guess.

Arperum

@MartinSojka Same, my Turkish is nonexistent though.

3ventic

See for yourself

5pike

@MartinSojka So, I guess that this person doesn't really do his mother tongue good either.

@3ventic Google translator mostly gets the part wrong which is hard for humans as well: Dialogue. That's because of all the context that's missing from each individual "sentence" (or non-sentence; after all, "Very." is a valid line someone could use in English dialogue). Then you feed it languages which use this kind of "implied context doesn't need to be articulated or written down" stuff everywhere, like Japanese, and it gets hilarious.

Not that Bing translator or tools like Atlas have any more chances there ...
