  1. Re:Is AMD Better Now? on AMD Launches Radeon R9 380X, Fastest GPU Under $250 (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a Radeon 280X and I guess that's pretty good (but lower than fallout 4 recommended system requirements) and the game automatically set everything to Ultra and it runs perfectly fine for me.

    Just my personal experience.

    Apparently it has a built-in composite video port.

    As well as Performance MX, the Anywhere MX also has a middle mouse button and scroll wheel. I use one at work.

  4. 75 too old? on Bioethicist At National Institutes of Health: "Why I Hope To Die At 75" · · Score: 1

    I met a man who was 91 a few weeks ago. He gave his 66 GMC C1000 to me. Very nice, entertaining, funny guy. He was a little out there and was not very physically capable, but he seemed to have a lot to say and was articulate and humorous.

    I think that the scale in which we age and how drastic it is directly relates to how we choose to live and treat our bodies.

    I plan to keep taking care of myself and to see how it goes...if I hit 75 and want to end it then that's easy. Not really something I can speculate on now...and don't really think this guy is in his right mind to speculate either.

  5. Commodity crapware on Slashdot Asks: What's In Your Home Datacenter? · · Score: 1

    I'm currently running 2 old desktops stuffed full of HDDs and a new i3 machine.
    1) Pentium 4, 4g ddr POS, 6x2tb storage and a tiny OS disc.
    2) Older core i7, 8g ddr2, 6x2tb storage and tiny OS disc.
    3) i3 machine, 32g ddr3, 16g ssd for OS, 500g for VMs.

    Usable space is about 7tb. Server #2 mirrors with server #1, the machines each run raid 5 with a hot spare... overkill but I've lost data enough times to be completely done with that mumbo jumbo. I'll soon be adding storage to #3 and moving #1 off site and mirroring remotely. I run a mix of debian/fedora/other. Between server #2 and #3 I have 6 VMs.

  6. Privacy! rabble! on Google Spots Explicit Images of a Child In Man's Email, Tips Off Police · · Score: 1

    I agree that the act of scanning email is pretty big brother-y...but a lot of people have activated Google Now which is MEANT to scan your email and other communications and data for information gathering.

    If this perv piece of trash had Google Now turned on then what do you expect?--or any of you fine folks have it active? That no human will ever come across data that is freely accessed by their software?

    Just saying.

    Unless you're surrounded by a monopoly, or other 'choices' that are vastly substandard. Such as 56k or very-slow adsl, versus high-speed, low-latency cable. 'Choices' -- I'd have to move to get another choice. Hogwash to that point, I say.

    Sorry..I clicked "submit" instead of "preview." I had to clarify this a little bit because there was some redundancy . Also, "HTML Formatting" was selected instead of Plain old text. I replied again below which is more readable. =)

  10. Re:Which 90% ? on Dell Says 90% of Recorded Business Data Is Never Read · · Score: 1

    This is database architecture and IS used.

    It works like this: You tier where your data is stored based on how often it is read.

    Depending on your database load, you could use a tier similar to..
    1+ reads per second
    1+ reads per day
    1+ reads per month
    1+ reads per 6 months
    1+ reads per year (this is your archive/old data level)

    Based on your needs, you make data more available; data that isn't used is eventually shelved further back. Eventually unused data migrates toward 'old data' and takes increasingly more time/energy to read, but is still available when needed. Whereas your frequently accessed data is available immediately.

    I happen to indulge in world of warcraft from time to time, and let me tell you this...

    I've posted on the forums a total of maybe 3 times...ever.

    If you don't want to show your real name, then just don't use the forums. You can get support in-game or over the phone.

    And parents that want to protect their children: Disable realid (forum) access in the parental controls panel.

  13. Re:Wow on Unfinished Windows 7 Hotspot Feature Exploited · · Score: 1

    It depends. I had an atheros card with madwifi and I spawned multiple virtual devices, and I could connect to multiple networks at a time. As well as connect to a network and host an AP at the same time. Was pretty easy. (on Debian)

  15. Re:Yeah, so why are they better? on Enthusiasts Convene To Say No To SQL, Hash Out New DB Breed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Linq to SQL/Entities(on your entity provider) has it's benefits and downfalls.

    But damn, Linq to everything else fucking rocks faces, and anyone who says otherwise seriously needs to buy a linq book and actually use the shit. Linq to XML/collections .. I don't know where I'd be without it. And I don't want to know!

    Yeah, linq is handy with Entities, but you run into a whole messuh problems if you don't be careful with it. (And people who don't understand relational databases should stay away from it.)

    At least, that is my opinion...but don't take it too seriously

    I don't advocate the parent's message, but I can think of an alternative: Pay for wifi card with a chipset supported by open drivers.

    Although, I'd just use whatever closed-source driver for it.

  20. Re:Why not both? on Should the Linux Desktop Be "Pure?" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Closed source software can be very rich, just because I can't change it doesn't mean I don't like using software that I've paid for the way it is. Writing complex applications takes a lot of work, and it takes an equal amount of work to document, support, and deploy it. The ability to used closed source software shouldn't even be a question in my opinion.

    A user installs an operating system on his computer (be it, whatever, *nix, bsd, windows, who cares? it's just an operating system, it runs so you can run your applications), and then you put applications you want on it. If you don't want to pay for applications, there are monetarily free as well as free-and-open-source software alternatives for almost anything. If you like those applications better, then why not use them? If you would rather pay for a closed-source and proprietary piece of software, why not pay for it and use it then?

    I run windows. I use many closed source applications that I've paid for (Probably the best software purchase I've ever made: Directory Opus) as well as some open source applications I love (aka Firefox, Pidgin...gotta love 'em). I have a few other machines running around the house, some being linux and some being windows, and I'll run whatever software I wish on them.

    Choosing what you want to use on your computer is a fundamental choice.
