Well. Finally. WinSxS is the world's most confusing and inane archive folder. Glad Microsoft pushed this out.

Right, well, I'm referring more to active gameplay glitches. I've also had some cars lost after parking them in a house garage. Hoping for a fix on that soon. Bummed people are losing their stuff.

That's how you set some realistic expectations. Looking forward to GTA Online, glitches and bugs and all. I feel like the software errors in GTA actually add to the aesthetic of the game. Some of my favorite GTAIV moments are precisely because of glitches in the multiplayer.

As in, 'Norma Jean'? Delicious music.

Thanks for that article. I run a Samsung Pro 840 256, with 2 main partitions, one for Linux Mint, and one for Windows. I just ran a quick test with Samsung's Disk Magician and am currently running the compress on all the entire C:\ drive and doing a stare and compare after a fresh reboot and TRIMing to see what the…

The guy always seems to have active camo whenever he needs it... excuses.

I still don't understand the significance of Master Chief wearing tattered robes. Nor the practicability of it. He's got a power armor suit which has sufficiently survived any environmental hazard, alien weapon, and outer space, and hard descents through Earth's atmosphere onto the ground. Sure, it may be really cool…

802.11ac, while wonderfully fast, only is fast if you have two routed devices that are capable of delivering that amount of throughput. Wireless-AC speeds isn't very useful unless you have near Gbps internet, or computers with Gbps Ethernet AND hard drives/SSDs to match the capability. Most Gbps devices in home…

And all tablet owners sighed...

That is correct, I just don't like lazy math, and prefer theoretical possibilities being mentioned as a maximum rather than relying on the variability of protocols that add overhead to packets. Auto manufacturers do it all the time with cars, people just get used to the parasitic lag.

It's easy enough to translate without dividing into ten. Just do the math. 8 bits equals one byte. so 1Mbps = .125MB/s = 128KB/s. If your internet service provides 10Mbps of download speed, you know that will be about 1.25MB/s. If your internet service provides 16Mbps, it will be about 2MB/s. If your internet service…

Traffic was pretty bare, there was a complete white out at home, and nothing is scarier or more fun than a thunderbird super coupe 5 speed with crap tires and snow and ice everywhere, and a faulty ABS and braking system. Nothing like drifting and sliding and learning to brake with your left foot when you're trying to…

All the USB tools out there do the same thing, but some have multiboot capabilities. I tried multiple tools and none of them worked, and this included trying different kinds of boot sectors.

Well, I determined it has to be a problem with this specific flash drive. Not certain why, but the partition table gets all sorts…

So is anybody else getting "Operation System not found" whenever you try to boot via a USB flash drive? I've done a bit of looking around but found nothing good so far. Super frustrated. Tried multiple apps from within linux and windows itself. Not sure what's going on or why.

Let's hope so. I've just had a hell of a time trying to get ubuntu 13.04 put on a USB drive to install it on my laptop. Still working on it. Tried the built-in usb maker in linux mint (works for previous versonis), and tryed unetbootinstaller and that isn't working either. Trying lili now...

Heavily considering using Ubuntu 13.04 for the next month or so until Linux Mint 15 comes out. Not a huge Unity interface fan, but I'd like to give this a shot.

In a silly attempt to "hole out" the catalytic converter on the '93 I had, I took off a flexpipe, then gave up, and then put everything back together. On the way home, the flex pipe came off. Not really an exhaust leak if there is no real exhaust, but I kinda liked the sound. I also once had a '92 Thunderbird SC with…

Slightly depressed/disappointed that the Yahama-designed '89-'95 Ford Taurus V6 3.0/3.2 didn't make this. It is infinitely beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to look at:

I recommend Linux Mint to anybody looking for something more like the normal desktop metaphor. Unity is a mess, and doesn't seem to be getting much better any time soon. The largest benefit to Linux Mint Cinnamon/MATE editions is that they are compatible and run the repository for all Ubuntu repo apps. Cinnamon is a…
