I should probably point out that I actually meant directory junctions when talking about junctions earlier, which are just a directory symlink like things.
@badp I think too many people got focussed on the "limited writing" bit, and overlooked that by "limited writing" it means "will die within the next few decades"
Most of what you read on the internet about SSDs is about pre 2009 SSDs which were significantly inferior and really did have drastically low lifespans
> A solid-state drive purchased today should yield at least as much life as a spinning disk; because of the inevitable march of disk capacity, the majority of hard disk drives in consumer computers don't see much of a useful service life past five years, and numerous synthetic benchmarks give current-generation consumer SSDs at least 5 years of flawless service before any type of degradation sets in.
(also keep in mind that "average consumer" explicitly means "not us")
I just played a vip escort mission in my impossible ironman and after the vip escaped I was left with the task of killing all remaining aliens, which I abandoned because I had only one sniper at 1 hp left :/
Now I did not get any reward for this mission, is that supposed to be this way? I think ...
@MartinSojka to one drive? Most have write speeds more like 250MBps. Besides, unless you're using it for a backup drive the speed far outweighs the lifespan
I've got an SSD I use exclusively to write massive video files to so I'm not limited by I/O
Oh, so the part of the story I'm missing is that Samsung is going, "We're not going to pay for your patents any more, but we're going to keep using the technology."
Grrr arg! It looks like someone was in to do maintenance to the common area and (accidentally, hopefully) cut power to my unit. Just one more thing to add to the list of annoyances today.
Background: I've just started Borderlands 2 and I know essentially nothing about the various characters. What I don't want to happen is I pick Zero at the beginning because the flavor text looks neat, level him up to 40 and then realize I hate him and love Salvador (which is what happened to me...
so, I can buy any copy of GW2, choose any server anywhere in the world and create a character on that server, but once doing so I am locked to that server?
I run steam on Linux. I installed TF2, and when I try to start it, I get the normal "Preparing to launch Team Fortress 2" dialog. Then the screen goes black for about 15 seconds. Then it crashes. Log:

I am going to be buying Guild Wars 2 soon, and I was wondering if the game client is region locked in a similar manner to how it is in World of Warcraft?
For example; if I was to purchase the game in Europe, would I only be able to create characters on European servers or would I be able to crea...
@AshleyNunn I mean, I've seen several questions with Skyrim, when Skyrim is obviously not the correct game. It's like the asker can't be bothered to try to classify his question correctly.
And in which case, if the user's that lazy, there should be some repercussions.
I can see mistagging if the tag doesn't exist.
I can't see, "Eh. It's not this game, but close enough."
Well I have no idea about GW2, other than 'no subs mmo' ... just went searching because I was surprised at the stuck-to-a-server design, even Blizzard allows people to create chars per server in D3.
So, I need to beat Sheol with Isaac in The Binding of Isaac, can I select the "Doctors Revenge" challenge (which requires you to beat Mom's Heart) and maybe get lucky with a demon room on the Mom's Heart boss to go to Sheol with the Fetus?
I have read somewhere while going through various Guild Wars 2 resources that all classes in Guild Wars 2 have healing abilities sufficient for keeping themselves alive when played properly (ie: dodging big attacks instead of trying to stand there and tank them), but that no class in Guild Wars 2...
Sorry for not providing an actual answer @pixel but the link should give you a decent amount of info, I think they also have a video of a dev explaining why they veered away from holy trinity as well
@pixel well do you want bows or just ranged? I played a mesmer and they have some decent damage and are probably one of the hardest to kill cause their illusions/disappearing/sprinting
the one night I decide I don't need to be held at gunpoint to go to sleep I get awaken by a phone call to please stay awake for the next twenty minutes. wargarbl
The upcoming gaming headset Oculus Rift has two tiny monitors in front of your eyes to allow 3D immersion and free head movement.
Those monitors however are really close, will my eyes have to focus on them just as one would focus on a book held close to the eye? Or are there more optics included...
When I login in World of Warcraft, I just get the "Success!" message, when I click on "cancel" the realm selection screen comes up, but when I try to login on any realm I just get the message "Logging in to game server" and this don't changes even after a few minutes (most of the time sometimes I...
