I downloaded the update, then immediately regretted it as two of my most used applications died from it. The good thing is that Win10 has a downgrade function built-in for the first month or so after the upgrade, so I just downgraded back to Win8.1 and it’s been fine.

The irony of promoting negative stereotypes about nearly half the world’s populations in a forum designed to help reduce negative stereotypes about the other half.

I know. When did I say he didn’t say speed? I just added more information, wasn’t arguing.

How is a multiplication followed by a subtraction more efficient than a single recollection? That’s like, to use a programming analogy, saying “x=10*7-7” is more efficient than “x=63”. Hint: it’s not. For computers or humans.

Yeah, but I'm saying the visual cortex isn't activated showing all your memories and thoughts for someone to just reach in and read your mind. It can only see what you're currently imagining or looking at, nothing else.

I think it's important to make the distinction between "good white people" and "white people who are good for the purpose of letting people and themselves know they are good". In fact, this article can really be more general: if you remove the "white" qualifier from those two descriptions, they're general concepts of…

Neither is doing drugs that distort your ability to learn, remember, and react.

I switched from Sprint to Virgin Mobile (which, around here, uses Sprint's networks anyway) and will never go back. At least not to Sprint. It's much cheaper (I can't find a single contract plan that's as low as $35/month), and I don't have to worry about termination fees if I can't pay one month (they give you an…

According to the official Black Friday Preview ads released by a few places (namely, Target and Best Buy, I think), the HTC Desire and Kyocera Hydro VIBE are both on sale for $30 off-contract. I know they're not top-tier phones, but if you're in the bottom-tier of budget (like I am), you might want to have a look. I'm…

You have...three hands?

Do I really need to bring up Mayim Bialik?

I'd have to buy Win7, and I'm broke. On top of that, I like Win8 in general, so...yeah

I don't have a chance to test this now, but does the desktop capture include audio capture? You didn't mention choosing an audio input device.

Sorry to bubble-burst here, but... it looks to me like it's supposed to be a pile of boxes in the store...

Yeah, while doing my research I was led to the Power Saver mode, but I disabled that and still had issues. It's definitely a driver/OS compatibility issue, because I was able to get it to work with Ubuntu (running off a thumb drive). Seems like it's sort of an up-in-the-air chance at whether a specific environment…

Well, looks like it's time I invest in a USB3.0 HDD next time I need more space. Thanks! (Out of curiosity, which version of Windows did you test with?)

I suppose so. Speaking of which, has USB3.0 worked out its kinks yet? My laptop has a 3.0 port on it, and I bought it when 3.0 was extremely new. I bought a USB3.0 external hard drive for it...and it didn't work. It would randomly disconnect and reconnect, even in the middle of transfers, causing all kinds of chaos.…

Math says that's 2.5 cents per gig. At that rate, my current laptop's hard-dive would cost $17. WTF? Did I do that math right and this is ridiculously cheap, or have things just gotten much cheaper recently?

Here is the comment I wrote when I first read about Felicia's situation. It's the first time I really got into the nitty gritty of what GamerGate is, and it incensed me. It's on my Facebook, but I've made it public because it's something everyone should read...or at least, everyone who wants to know just how fucked up…

By that logic, we should have no laws. Murder should be legal, too, because hey, people still murder anyway, right?
