So I broke one of the non-functioning buttons almost immediately, but it's a neat little toy. My arm is to big to use it comfortably though so it'll probably just stay in the case and go on a shelf. The phone app looks like it's going to be fun though. Some pics for those interested and haven't...

Still waiting for delivery. :( I hope it arrives before I go to work tonight. I won't be able to play it until my video card arrives anyways but at least I can play with the Pip-Boy.

Man I will never understand how UPS gets anything delivered. Just checked the tracking number for my game that should arrive tomorrow and it left Georgia, got to Florida, and went back to Georgia (currently at a facility ~2 hours from where it originally left last week). Forest Park, GA ->...

Since it came up, I remember reading that Netflix (and other select streaming content) traffic would not be counted towards that 300GB because of a peering agreement between Comcast and them.

Comcast has been the only ISP I've ever been extremely happy with and had the least amount of issues with (although my 2nd attempt with Verizon FIOS has been perfect since it was installed a few months ago, knock on wood). I was expecting to pay hundreds of dollars in ETFs when I moved to a...

@MannDude, how about we try to get a group rate for a "Node.js 101" class? :) I dove into Node.js for the first time the other day and after a few hours of looking at example after example (and a lot of trial and error) I almost gave up but decided to see it through and after I did I had a...

Just got confirmation from Best Buy that my pre-order shipped today and will be here on the 10th. :) Bookmarked so I can watch it tonight.

I almost caved and went with a single SSD for the boot drive because I was having such a hard time getting Windows 7 installed properly. Come to find out that I had the USB drive plugged into a USB 3.0 port so that was 4 hours wasted. :( Decided to go with the RAID1 just because I don't want...

I'm not worried about data loss really, everything important is replicated to 3 servers in different locations in real time and backed up nightly to a second NAS, a USB drive, and a VPS in another state so I'm fine there. I'm more concerned that if my OS drive dies it can take me a while to get...

I'll take a good story over beautiful graphics any day. Hell, if I could find a decent MUD then I wouldn't have bothered building this computer. :)

I'm more of a Nintendo person but the last console I had was an Xbox 360 and it wasn't too bad but the games were expensive and I don't think I could play any FPS with a controller. My brother is getting Fallout 4 for the PS4 I think so next time I visit him I'll give it a try.

If 100% of the orders are fraud then what is the point in letting the orders through? The only reason we've blocked any countries from ordering from us is when 100% of the orders are fraud (that means that not a single order did not result in abuse, fraud, and/or chargeback and we have a very...

It definitely requires a unique taste and a significant time investment to fully enjoy it.

I don't know if they were trying to charge my card or just noticed it was expired and reminding me. I updated my card and I don't see any pending charges so maybe they were just doing a preliminary check or something to make sure I was able to get the game on time (or maybe to clear up some...

As I mentioned in another thread I just posted, I am in the process of building a new desktop for gaming/VMs and I was wondering if RAID is worth having for a home desktop? I currently plan to have 2x 120GB SSDs in RAID0 strictly for Steam/Battle.net/Origin and 2x 256GB SSDs in RAID1 for the OS...

Got an e-mail and text message from Best Buy telling me to update my credit card (I thought I was billed at the time of pre-order so I didn't notice my card expired between then and now). I'm in the process of building a computer that will actually play it (SATA cables should arrive today and...

It would be really nice if forum developers released security patches separate from their design updates to let their clients remain secure without changing the user experience. Requiring forum owners to change the design/layout in order to be secure is kind of messed up but I think this...

Nope, they are completely different tools. Wireshark shows you packets on an interface. Packet Tracer is an emulator that builds an entire network from routers, to switches, to PCs, to basically every other device.

I'm not sure how much it costs, but try to grab a copy of Packet Tracer from Cisco. It was an invaluable tool for my networking classes when I was in school and it gives you some basic hands on experience without needing to invest in hardware.

Stripe is great if you stay diligent. Their fraud checking is very basic if you enable the two features (check zip and check CVV) but they provide a lot more information than Paypal does so we are able to actually catch stolen credit cards whereas Paypal we just have to hope they catch them for...
