As I type this on a new laptop I just got, I would have to say Notepad++ (because life’s too short for built-in text editors, especially when you script), Display Fusion (because Microsoft STILL doesn’t really support multiple displays in a fully functional way), VLC so I can play any video format, and Keepass,…

I still use KVM as a network admin; when you have 10-15 physical servers to connect to it just makes sense. For day-to-day work I connect via RDP, but I have a rack mounted KVM console in place for when I need to physically connect to my servers.

King’s Quest deaths. So, so many ways to die.

Oh, well, if he really *believes* they're dead passwords then I feel so much better about it. Happy researching hackers!

I use the same kind of a format (minus my email address) for my work signature, on my phone I have name position, address phone number, and "sent from my phone" to explain typos or weird formatting.

I know a lot of people will just trust in the Privacy Policy, and while I don't trust them completely I find it hard to believe Microsoft would just spy on people with the Kinect. My main concern though is hackers; if the thing is always on and always connected, it's only a matter of time before people figure out how…

"Microsoft did say that if a disc was used with a second account, that owner would be given the option to pay a fee and install the game from the disc, which would then mean that the new account would also own the game and could play it without the disc."

This is exactly what ticks me off. Why can't you have multiple gamers in the same household? I can at least understand why they are choking off used games even if I don't agree with it, but tying it to a single live account is going to alienate all multi-user households

Like Adam said, the point is more about getting high end features on a low end - and low cost - router. That being said, at least one feature he mentioned that I doubt is on most stock firmware is editing the transmission power. Although I could be wrong, I've never forked out $100+ on a router before.

I like DHCP leasing, it helps my network run smoothly when I can reserve IPs for all of my devices. Not only do I always know what IP any given device is, but I don't have to worry about those IP conflicts that crop up from time to time.

It would be a cost thing for me I think. It's interesting and all, the ancestry stuff might be worth a few bucks, but I'm only willing to pay so much on "interesting".

Japanese? She looks more Korean

I haven't had cable TV for almost 5 years now and have no regrets. To be honest, in light of today's options I can't understand the business plan for cable TV - pay a lot of money for it, sit through eight minutes of commercials in a 30 minute block of programming. No thanks, if I'm giving them money directly they…

Johnny Five is alive!

This one's kinda Garbage

A fantastic choice

The Room was a lot of fun, very reminiscent of Myst

This seems like bad science. There may be a correlation, but it could just as likely be that the people who made a firm decision early on knew what they wanted and therefore better enjoyed what they got. However, I'm too lazy to go read the actual article, so there may be more to it than that.

Does this all apply in the same way to pattern locks?
