If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

I really love Sona. It’s hard to play her really poorly because so much of what she does is simple AoE, but there’s bunch of nuance involved in playing her *well.* Managing Mana through extended early game fights is tough with her recent balance changes, and while she’s mobile and can travel well late game, her early…

Man, playing support is so awesome. I get to do all these lovely micromanagement things, everyone’s happy to have me around because it reduces mechanic pressure on them (heals or buffs or sustain, depending) and no one expects me to get fed and carry, nor gets mad if I get picked off early in a teamfight. (Though, I…

I feel like this would actually be a really easy mod to make. I should get on that.

I’m glad that this got so much attention, because it got people to point out how incorrect the statement is. I was *rather* tired when I made it, and of course you (and the 5-6 other people who pointed this out) are quite correct. :)

I assert that it is very much the company’s fault when said pervert or madman *succeeds,* especially due to poor security practices on the part of a company charged with keeping data from minors safe.

The key takeaway here though is that the experiment they performed is still a SUCCESS.

Oh, I should clarify: I don’t have any subscriptions to anything other than my internet connection and my phone bill. (Not even Cable.) Same reasons really; I prefer to buy content that I know I will enjoy, rather than paying for access. I find it easier to stay on top of my finances this way, but I also have a pretty…

Well no, because I actually use my internet connection every waking moment of every day (I host servers from home) and I end up using my phone every day. Those are necessities for my workflow.

You know, I’d pay to play this game hourly. Seriously, my biggest objection to monthly subscriptions is that it feels like a looming deadline. Can’t I just be billed by the number of hours I log on?

Neither do I, but HP thought this was a great idea with their Stream model. Poor things are basically unusable for anything other than web browsing. I love the idea of an SSD cache though, that’s great when it works well. :)

This is great. Companies now need to stop selling Windows laptops with only 32GB of SSD space. Yes, it’s great that you had a solid state in there, but seriously, you’ve gimped the machine beyond use when Windows itself is more than half the total capacity of the drive. Seriously guys, stop it.

Yeah, pretty much this. I can’t fathom how the NSA has the actual manpower to care about my porn browsing habits, and goodness knows my family already knows about them. I don’t mind them having access to data to try to prevent attacks. More power to them. Yeah, there’s going to be some corruption, and some people will…

Editing is one of those things that really can make or break a film. Sure, the *director* likes that plot line, because it fleshes out some really interesting character motivation they thought of, but that doesn’t matter if it bores the audience, or detracts from the film as a whole. Those are really hard calls to…

That is a Magikarp. Well done, sir. I can sleep now; my faith in the internet is restored.

The adware wasn’t the problem. This is a trusted root certificate; without getting too much into the details, this is a certificate that is installed in the system in such a way that it bypasses an important security check. This certificate can be used to encrypt websites, even if that’s not its intended purpose.

Apple’s naming conventions are really dumb; the iPad Air 2 is really the 6th iPad now, so it’s substantially newer than the 2nd generation one you’re using.

This does *not* look hard to 3D print. I should see if I can get some designs going later.

Seriously, how does the mother enroll her child in a musical theatre program and take offense at the teacher’s lifestyle without realizing the play itself is about gay characters? How does she not realize that a huge portion of theatre people are gay or bi? It’s not even shocking at all in that world, it’s just part…

It’s possible to get Duck Hunt to work on some modern televisions; the technique it used for detecting hits mostly relies on timing. If the frame shows up on a flatscreen monitor in less than 16ms (so, a very fast refresh rate monitor) the light gun should be able to pick it up. It’s looking for a particular color to…
