Who would bother? Just about anyone looking for an easy target.
@snipe The threat isn't some piddly userspace program.
The threat is a kernel exploit that either (a) installs itself without user interaction, or (b) escapes the user sandbox (i.e. a rootkit/priv-escalation)
Most hardware vendors no longer support it simply because it costs more to support yet another OS.
An OS that is no longer supported either, and has a relatively outdated API (which means it's not a clean port most of the time).
A WDDM (1.3) driver? Good luck porting that to XDDM.
But yeah i ended up just using the ODD bay and using one screw
( what is wrong with me ) I am part shopping for a computer. What I have is more than powerful, only thing it needs, is the next generation GPU in a year :$
a midrange card can do that easily. (Its what I'm gaming at these days)
I was experimenting with a second display, but win 8.1's 'automatic' scaling of dissimilar displays is a bit shit. It takes into account resolution, not screen size
All text is crisp when not scaled. DPI scaling does introduce some blurriness, but turning it off altogether makes text on the system display too small.
@DragonLord: the big advantage of titans is 12gb of vram, The 980tis have half the ram, but very close to the same processor power.
@Hennes: my current "nutty" design is a xeon E (Which will happily take up to 128gb of ram) and a 980ti or titan... in a mini itx box. The model with a fan also does 2x 10gbe ;p
@Hennes I don't plan to do SAS on a desktop. I might choose SAS drives (on an LSI 9207-8i HBA) for a storage server with a big disk array, but not on a gaming machine.
It's called Lucifer and it's my dream build. Unlikely to be the first build, though, and by the time the funds are available, it's likely to be Skylake-E or whatever the current HEDT chips are codenamed.
WinDbg isn't very helpful, but this could be another driver problem
I hope my CPU isn't bad
RAM issues are likely ruled out after a 4-pass run of Memtest86+ (which required upwards of 7 hours).

heh. One nice side effect of the hacking team breach. A whole load of vulnerbilities no one knew about are in the open. The bad thing is, everyone has their posteriors flapping in the breeze till they are fixed.
I recently in installed Windows on my computer after having Linux for over 1 year.
Now whenever I start any game I get a bluescreen from nvlddmkm. I understand this is form nVidia, which makes sence since I am playing a game.
I tried:
Reinstalling the driver which didn't work.
Installed Windo...
from techie from that link ", sometimes certain driver revisions are buggy with certain chipsets."
Some people will keep trying the "latest" some people will make sure they get them from the chip implementor (the manufacture of specific model) some people just cling to what the freak ever works without bugs :-)
I do a online survey , find the ones with a highest accept rate , and the ones with the highest version of the series (if possible) right before they add a new feature and break 17 things again.
Yeah, and if I want to, I can just check the CPU temperature by getting under my desk, opening the case and measuring it with a thermometer. However, I do kinda like it that there are more convenient ways ;)
My point was, it's not like this is an amazing feature I have been waiting for for centuries, it's just an improvement over what was previously offered
@Bob The thing is, you don't even have to touch your keyboard or mouse to get the information if your CPU is saturated. And pressing said keyboard shortcut would still not show me the same information, because I don't have my processes sorted by CPU usage by default
It depends on the level of detail you're currently interested in. Sometimes you want nanosecond accuracy, sometimes it's fine to just have a quick look at your wrist watch
@Bob Well, in that case I am utterly shocked that you don't see the benefit of a NA icon ;P
for some reason I can never figure out how to restart networking live o.O
systemctl restart networking and systemctl stop networking && systemctl start networking manage to bring up the bridge, but the networking drops out soon after and no amount of restarting the service brings it up
@Bob in order for the bridge to work, your physical ethernet adapter has to be up but have no IP assigned, and the bridge device has to be assigned (at least) the primary IP of the server.
I've had issues bringing up a network alias without a reboot before, too (on the old server)
No idea why restarting the networking service inevitably breaks things.
@allquixotic What's that for?
> These control whether or not packets traversing the bridge are sent to iptables for processing. In the case of using bridges to connect virtual machines to the network, generally such processing is not desired, as it results in guest traffic being blocked due to host iptables rules that only account for the host itself, and not for the guests.

I have 1920x1080 LED display. If I set any lower resolution, is a bit blurry. I have the latest drivers, what to do?
