@JourneymanGeek KSP has turned into the thing that I do with spare time, though I have a curfew, I am not permitted to start KSP after 11pm. This is self imposed because while I despise having to sleep, apparently I need it.
(I realise this is late to the party but missed the KSP conversation earlier)
Windows 8 has had a tool for awhile, 8.1 has had a tool for 4 months, OEM users are better off on windows 8 side because it automatically detects the key
Omg my puppy is soooo cute :$ mKes me me want to study even more for my exam
Apparently my firewall at work was allowing me to start the download ( ask me to save the file ) but was blocking it making me belive it had started making me post that comment saying it worked :&
Oh, interesting, there has to be a real reason, somebody hasnt sold electronics, over the Internet, I am guessing there isn't enough margin except at huges volumes ( based on my experience with resistors on Amazon )
Really a same I can't imagine my technical knowlege if I had access to that kind of stuff when I was starting out, sure there were kits, but I didn't get that until I was 20 :$
@Bob: actually, I do think I can shut off the cloudy bits. BUT I need to let my parents access them (and with java and all that, and the fact that I bought it after they left), I'd rather leave it on for now
When the 'cloud' thing wasn't working cause of dodgy wifi, I was accessing it by connecting to my other laptop over chrome remote ;p
I DID talk about thinking about installing an ipv6 tunnel onto my netbook no?
My computer running on windows 7 ultimate is giving me a message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you may not have appropriate permission to access the item"
I am running a Toshiba Windows 8.1 and I have Java Version 8 Update 25 and I’m trying to open Strados2, a program on a game website found here.
However, when I try to run Strados2 it says
Unable to launch the application.
And when I hit details it says:

@Motig It's always "we want to grow" - for all the times that's been said, actual rapid growth almost never happens. Make sure your software and config has the capability to expand - the hardware is rarely the limiting factor, especially when you start with 8 (it'll take quite a long time before you worry about something really big, if ever)
As for on-premise vs cloud... cloud does have the advantage of more redundancy if the hardware fails. On the other hand, it depends a lot on your internet connection too.
And as @JourneymanGeek said, when dealing with financial data you really do have to worry about where the server is physically located, who is hosting it, etc.
@Motig You don't have 2 TB of HDD space. You have 2x 1TB, which should be in RAID 1 if you care about uptime. Also, they're big-ish SATA HDDs, which... isn't great, though I suppose that's what makes it so cheap.
Well I'm planning to buy two more disks and implement 1+0 RAID because we're going have pretty much everything on it...Files, documents, also GIT repositories for application developement...
The chance of losing connection is one of the risks of hosting this kind of thing in the "cloud".
You also have less control over it.
On-premise, if something goes wrong it's your own fault :P
(Though, in some places loss of mains power is at least as likely as loss of network, if not more likely)
@Motig You'll more likely end up recovering that kind of amount from insurance (if you have any, or are willing to pay the premiums) rather than the ISP
From a 2010 blogpost:
> Here are three different levels of SLA's - not so much by the metrics and parameters, but quite different in terms of penalties
Verizon is offering a very basic SLA, with compensation of the daily charge for each day of SLA breach - http://www.verizonbusiness.com/terms/latam/co/sla/ BT is accepting a more serious approach - a penaltyof a daily charge for each hour of SLA breach, but with a limit of maximum 10 days of charge in penalty http://business.bt.com/assets/pdf/BTnet%20Service%20Level%20Agreement.pdf
It's pretty essential for debugging. BlackBerry serves the DevTools right from within the app, which is also quite nice. WindowsPhone and iOS are severely lacking behind in that area
@Bob My experience is that whenever someone introduces something into the Cordova ecosystem which is supposed to solve a problem, introduces at least 3 new problems, which you only find after you deployed on multiple platforms
Everything that is provided by a device vendor is at least somewhat reliable, on that particular device
> WSJ also reports that the site's reach isn't very wide either, with one source's estimate that nine percent of viewers account for a whopping 85 percent of online-video views.
I just passed the 3k points so I'm entering the realm of closing votes. I could use advice on how to handle a specific case. Anyone here to help me with this?
Sorry. Went out for tea... It's about this question, and my response would be to leave it open with this comment: "@screener: although it appears to be a duplicate of the question, the other post doesn't provide a clear answer. I'll leave this open for now. Once any one of these questions gets a clear answer, we can close down the other as duplicate."
Awhile back someone asked this question about losing properties when copying files. User Diamond made a guess at what the issue was and his answer was accepted. I recently ran into what looked a similar issue and searched around for information about what properties would be lost. I didn't find a...
Great. Thanks for the answers. @Bob's interpretation that if a question is duplicate, it should be closed seems reasonable when I think about it. Thanks for the input.
Should I avoid NVIDIA? I'm evaluating the possibility of getting a GTX 980 for a desktop but might not want to support a company who has apparently deceived customers over the 3.5/0.5 GB issue on the GTX 970.
Then again, I feel NVIDIA graphics are better and more efficient overall.
@DragonLord I don't think their deception was intentional; it was a miscommunication between the marketing side and the technical team. However, I can't exactly agree that their graphics products are "better". Their absolute top-end performance is higher than what AMD can produce except in short, limited timespans when AMD leapfrogs them; but AMD wins on price:performance ratio IMO; has just as good drivers these days; and a groundswell of games supporting Mantle.
Rather than being better in the strict sense, I would qualify that statement to say that, price be damned, Nvidia's top-end is faster. But then they have other drawbacks that make them not universally better.
Also, if we're talking about compute rather than graphics, there's no definition of "better" or "faster" that could be true of Nvidia's consumer cards vs. AMD's consumer cards, regardless of how high-end they are.
AMD flat-out defeats Nvidia on GPGPU on consumer cards.
No contest.
If all you wanted was an opinion on the apparent moral dilemma though, I'd say go ahead and buy one, because I don't think there is a moral dilemma when the root of the problem came down to a mistake.
Nvidia isn't a bad company filled with filthy liars who'll say anything to get your dollar. They're not stupid; they know that if they tried to lie intentionally, they'd get caught and slammed by the community. Even when they made a mistake -- an accident -- they're still getting slammed pretty bad in the press. I'd still trust Nvidia's marketing material going forward.
@DragonLord GCN 2.0 is expected to have such robust scheduling of tasks, that it should be possible to effectively balance an intensive compute task (like physics over OpenCL) with a responsive graphics rendering task, without killing your framerate. If they deliver on that, I'd half expect the next-gen AAA games to ship either dual PhysX/OpenCL support for their physics, or go to OpenCL for all cards (since all cards support it).
One of my computers is not connected to the internet. Right now it has Visual Studio 2008 Express installed which doesn't require an internet connection at all. Can I install and activate Visual Studio 2012/2013 Express without internet connection?
