  1. Ah right Unicode...

    One line of questioning asked whether Carmack knew about a "secret meeting" in a hotel room with Oculus co-founders Nate Mitchell and Palmer Luckey, to which Carmack responded "No I didn't, it was a secret." A MacBook was brought up during questioning as well, with the lawyer asking why it was never wiped, with Carmack responding: "I am not a Mac user unless under duress."

  2. None of the entertaining quotes from Carmack?

    Same here, but since I switched to a 1080 (from a 290x), the Nvidia drivers come with an app to limit maximized windows to individual screens.
    No more need to switch between surround and regular mode anymore.

    I doubt it'll work, but you could try running the setup to extract the files and see if it works on your radeon

    Pretty much the same situation as my mom; mid-sixties, fatal brain tumor, and a DNR (as well as no treatments/experiments, only quality of life).
    She was a nurse for a few decades, so she had plenty of first hand experience of what the butchers (well-meaning, but still butchers) will do to keep a body "alive".

    I'm not trying to say anything bad about E.R. doctors (that's a hard and usually shitty job), but they will try anything and try again.

    There aren't your organs anymore, it's just a lump of deteriorating flesh soon to be a rotten sack of maggots.

    Not to mention in the event of an accident, organ donors are much more likely to be allowed to die so that their organs can be harvested.

    I never said it did, I meant Cloudflare.

  17. go for easy targets, or ones that look enticing.
    Either make it look secure, or make it look worthless. In between is usually best, but that depends on your neighborhood.

    a window with bars says valuable, a skylight with bars is less noticeable, but lacking a view.
    You can get windows/door with built-in decorative bars that look less secure.

    You could wire windows/doors with an alarm, should at least scare them away without making it look obvious you have stuff worth selling inside.
    You can keep stuff in plain sight with visible (very visible, they are junkies) metal securing objects to the structure. Plan out your office and get the builders (or you), to install some hardened steel hooks in the concrete to attach.

    Should I use some off-the-shelf lock from a big-box hardware store? Should I install a digital lock?

    If you have another way in they will take it, but do you want an office with no windows? A lockable barrel bolt with a decent lock should suffice.
    Spend some decent money on said lock.

    and they said they can "double up" the 2x4s to strengthen the walls and make a stronger door

    I've never built a garage, but for houses building code is always doubling up the rough opening studs.
    It costs more, but 2x6 walls are stronger and can take R20 instead of R12 insulation (cheaper on energy bill as well).
    Check the screws they use to secure the door slab, and think about getting some longer ones. Builders usually have a habit of being cheap and using whatever works, not what's most secure. Don't overtighten them, use a level or something true to check the frame is straight.

    All that said, a constant light and a visible camera (with a pretty red light) will probably help the most (a motion sensor is nicer to the neighbors).
