@RudáAlmeida That is the first part of the comic. There is no prior introduction I am aware of and also no connection to any of the previously shown characters
And Penny Arcade is not one of my favourite webcomics, but their "Extra Credits" vlog about the gaming industry is A - W - E - S - O - M - E !!!! penny-arcade.com/patv/show/extra-credits
F Yes! I just wanted to buy 2 more RaspPis. Total cost 46.90. Free shipping at 50 :/ Luckily, I find a product in their shop costing 3.22 Best feeling ever :P
Well, would have been better if I picked something for 3.10 obviously, but I really wanted that 3M duct tape :P
@Sathya regarding my web issue last night... They took the email saying "We want you to host the name for 5 years, but we have our own web and mail server onsite" to "Charge us for the domain name but don't allow anyone or anything to connect or see our server"

There we go
there's a whole bunch of hidden fonts, IIRC - only the ones specifically added to a certain registry key are actually displayed in the Explorer abstracted view
Anyways, @Sathya, they are being given one last chance to make it right, then the cx is demanding their money back and changing to the registrar we suggested when they first asked us our oppinion
I guess my boss would have plenty of occasion to talk to his boss's boss for reasons other than it being something bad about me, since he manages a large team with lots of stuff going on
I've also caught wind of a rumor that perhaps they might be hiring
The main problem bob, take look at the rear of the machine
The slots on the back should give a indicator of how small this machine is, i'd have to cut out part of the rear and leave the side panel off just for any local ones to fit
This thing was not built for customization, or new parts for that matter
I don't know what SFF is, but as a room owner, I cleared the flag on Tanner's message above as invalid because "DIE DIE DIE" is not something remotely offensive when it's directed at a technology product
active cooling cards generally run at a higher TDP, have more transistors (and more shader cores) and thus run faster, but passively cooled cards can also carry some semi-serious transistors (depending on how big and high quality the heat sink is) these days
It just needs something cheap, period, it's a personal use system wont be used for gaming or running enough code to make a processor heat up to the point the fans kick in the next gear
remember that "google.com" and most Google services are routed to a local datacenter, so every locale is going to be routed differently to their services
it's not a worldwide problem because us USAians are doing fine
user88311, it seems like the cheapest retail price (i.e. shrinkwrapped, new, not used) for a current-generation, low-end, passively-cooled, discrete GPU is about $100, for both AMD and Nvidia
even if you go with a card 1 or 2 generations old, the price will drop by maybe $10 if you're lucky
$20 - $50 is like... you'd need to get a card without any 3d acceleration capability at all, which means your desktop would be about as capable as Windows 95
they might claim that it's fully functional but chances are that something is amiss; there are so many parts to a card that getting one that's 100% good is unlikely
Best Buy usually sells several generations-old graphics cards for under $100... they're terrible, terrible cards that I would never recommend that anyone buy, but they're at least new so you know they won't be damaged, and they'll do web surfing, but that's about it
last time I was in there they were still selling HD3000 or HD4000 series cards in original packaging for like $45 USD
seems like cost is too much of a constraint for you for most options, but I found a HD3450 single slot card that might go for about $30.... it was out of stock though, I think they've stopped making them because they're so old
look for retailers or etailers that sell off stock of old, discontinued products and you may find a good deal on a card that was released to the public 5 or more years ago
be careful to measure how much salt you put on your lunch, as it may cost too much if you overdo it
j/k
reminds me of Vork from The Guild (a youtube / webisode series) who brought a pack of American cheese to a diner because it would be 38 cents cheaper to order a hamburger without cheese and put on your own cheese
heck, for $7 I'll have them send it out to you just so you stop agonizing over it... it's worth $7 to stop the flow of anguish in chat over the price of a couple sodas
didn't uh... CRAP... what was the name of that vendor!!!
there's some really fringe discrete card vendor out there whose main thing is cheapness; you can get a card with even basic DirectX 9.0c support for like $30 new
hmm, I was trying to find the S3 Graphics Chrome 530 GT but I don't think it's even available anymore unless you can find one on a second hand store or something
@OliverSalzburg it's freaking awesome... it automatically detects network card link state (ethernet and/or wifi and/or VPN and/or RNDIS) and, according to user-configurable rules, either does DHCP, or static IP, or something else
all major Linux desktop distros use NetworkManager
The local system is probably on the login screen. So if I was to redirect keyboard input into my SSH session, I could potentially capture username/password
@Tanner The Orange amp is nice. Especially if you want to play at lower volumes and love a little crunchy, blues-y sound. Can't say much about the speaker cab though
@Tanner lol. I'm fine with talking about my deafness, no worries. I like to use that song to tell people I'm deaf - the lyrics "I'm deaf, so so deaf" always come to mind haha
I'm currently experimenting with an RFID card reader that emulates a keyboard. When you connect a card, it will read out data from it and then emulate keystrokes according to configuration.
I've connected this device to a Raspberry Pi and connected to the Raspberry Pi via SSH.
Obviously, when t...
I wish I had a scrap machine around that I could just test with to see if it's possible to wave solder a vga adapted onto a motherboard with a heat gun
@allquixotic That's nothing, the repalcement seagate freeagent I bought to replace the one on its way out, an entire 1/4 of it lights up like a lightbulb
I can turn off everything in a room and it lights it up like a lamp
Like my old one better, just 1 2 mm line down the front that pulsates orange when in use
with most things in chemistry, certain elements are more prone to it than others (c.f. fission, fusion, melting, et al). Are there some elements that are ridiculously resistant to forming a covalent bond with other atoms of that element, except under extreme temperature and pressure conditions?
