I recently installed a PCI wireless card and ran into a pretty significant issue with it. My laptop sitting on the same desk that the PC was under had full signal (5 bars) while the PC would only show a spotty 2 bars at best. I elevated my wireless router and made sure there was a minimum of anything between the 2,…

I always play it with no sound for this reason.

So they are playing off the TV/Movie/Book/Comic/Game/Everything trope where every bad guy feels the need to spout the entire plan to the "helpless" hero because they are sure of their victory... Sounds about right to me?

You do look a little funny doing it, but I'll be darned if it didn't work a little. Not perfect, but better than nothing.

I loved playing D2 but I was strictly a solo player, I never even logged into Bnet to sell/trade items. I did however play WoW for a while (about 8 years ago) and the AH there was almost as broken as in D3. I guess I'm just not much of a team player, which is why I would kill for an offline mode. Would be great to…

Rather than use the AH, you ought to be able to share items with people you play with constantly, are in your clan, etc. Have a "friends list" that allows you to trade items with those people only or something.

I normally don't mind the online bit, but late last week when there were major server lags I was cursing Diablo and his soulstone to an eternity in Lag Purgatory.

farming white items is actually pretty easy. Find an area with a lot of armor/weapon racks, those almost always have white pieces. Good places are Act 1 - the Cathedral or the Skeleton King's area, or Act 4 - pretty much everywhere. I agree not as much fun as getting Legendaries and not as easy as buying supplies on…

EA's official stance - Offline mode is impossible, we will never enable that. 1 year later - Here's offline mode, quit complaining.

you can't give Common Debris, but you can give white items that can be salvaged to CD. The hard part to get is the legendary Fiery Brimstone since new Legendary items are account bound, you can't drop those for someone else to salvage. I made a killing selling FB the last few days the AH was open, that stuff was going…

In some ways I like the AH, it was a good way to unload some of the items pre-Loot 2.0 that were completely useless to my characters. After Loot 2.0 they changed it to where the items dropped were more geared towards the character you were using, that helped a lot.

My wife has nearly punched people who thought they had the right to rub her belly. Pretty much all of the points in the article are exactly what we have been going through. People I don't know have been talking to us about their pregnancies and going into details that ought not be shared in public, but for some odd…

I started a new job at the beginning of the year and so I did censor myself quite a bit at first. I have been told by many people that I can come across as a bit abrasive and sarcastic so I at least wanted to get a feel for the environment before I was my normal self.

Instead of freezing breath, he would have firehose ..., you get the picture.

Ours are not the simplest taxes to do, we have been taking medical expense deductions and have 4 W-2's to enter, but doing ourselves is not too bad. The last few times we went to H&R Block to get our taxes done I realized that the screens they used looked exactly the same as the ones I had played with seeing what the…

Whoops, you are correct there. I misread a portion and thought it said video as well, but here is the section from the article: as long as your Android device is plugged in and Dormi is running, it'll listen and transmit audio

Just from reading the article, I would say that this app basically turns a phone into a webcam. So if you have a spare phone to leave lying around running this app, technically it could be used for these purposes, just the same as any webcam or spycam.

These tips make a lot of sense during the winter, but during the summer months (at least in Texas) it would probably burn out the A/C or at least jack up the electric bill like mad to try and keep the house below 65...

I just dealt with it for several years. I got pretty good at just bottling up the stress and then decompressing on the way home, but toward the end it was driving me to drink. I didn't want that, so the final step was to find a new job. Quitting is sometimes a luxury that not everyone can afford so my advice is to…

I've been keeping the heat lower this winter and we've used space heaters/electric blankets/wood fireplace when possible instead of heating the whole house. I probably need to do some maintenance as there are some drafts and be better about vampire drains, I just have not gotten the gumption to actually work on that…
