    So... pay for a worse experience? More "attachments" to carry? break? How many $10 dongles will get purchased over the years? Nothing like paying a premium to be treated to a shitty second hand experience that's worse than what was there before.

    Versions I use:

    iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/ap...
    Android: https://play.google.com/store/...
    Windows: https://ninite.com/keepass
    Linux: http://keepass.info/help/v2/se... - Mono supported

    More versions (official and unofficial at: http://keepass.info/download.h... )

    Without Dropbox access to dropbox, you could use others: Onedrive, Google Drive, Box, etc... whats available largely depends on whats allowed (or just not yet blocked yet). Also, options MIGHT be expanded with plugins: http://keepass.info/plugins.ht...

    Keepass allows plugins... one of which has Two Factor: http://keepass.info/plugins.ht... - I've never used it, so I'll leave it up to you. Other options exist on at the plugins link above.

  5. Re:Flashback time on Ask Toolbar Now Considered Malware By Microsoft · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And it's not an ADDITIONAL search bar on top of the actual browser. If Google forced "Google Toolbar" down your throat, we'd have an apple-to-apple comparison.

    There's a difference between using a built in search engine (with the ability to change it to Bing, if your heart desires)... and getting a search engine - and extra crap - installed without your knowledge.

    We all know the average idiot doesn't know how to avoid getting tricked into installing it - and Ask and other companies go FAR out of their way to discourage saying no. It takes actual effort to not get dinged.

    You can argue about how evil Google is... but they aren't acting like Ask does.

  7. Re:Of course they are. on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1

    Between me and my GF, we've had 4 or so 18 key G15s that we've used over the years. The paint flakes off the keys after awhile (Which is when she replaces hers) and I replaced mine for a keyboard problem that ended up being something else software related. Neither of use has ever had keyboard problems, much less space-bar problems. I've taken mine apart periodically to clean it out and continue to use it too this day...

    I'll keep that in mind when I go to buy my next keyboard. I'll either get the G510 or a DAS with a G13 style "gameboard". I do remember having a keyboard with that issue (half of space-bar would work), but I can't remember if it was a G15 or not (I don't think it was... but I could be wrong)

  8. Re:Of course they are. on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 2

    "Logitech: another company I won't ever buy anything else from ever again." What did I miss about Logitech? Cry about astro-turf all you want, but I have a G15 (original with 18 buttons), MX Revolutions and a wired headset that I absolutely love. I've used Logitech for years and have always been happy with their quality. Out of 4-5 different PS2 wireless joysticks, the Logitech one I had was the only one that worked worth shit. Same for my USB Joysticks. The items that I have used from Logitech have worked for ages and as promised... So again... what has Logitech done to get "Boycott" status? Sony. Apple. EA. Some companies that I try to steer clear of, and for good reason... but why Logitech?

  11. Re:so you want to pay neogeo cart prices for games on Toshiba Developing High-Density 1TB SSD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People complain about $60 games... you seriously think $200 games would fly? It also seems you are comparing a single purchase game to an online game. WoW on a fast chip would still require a game server. So the comparison of MadeUpGame with a one time purchase vs WoW is far from valid. You should compare it to CoD, HL2, etc... a game that you buy once and play for years, $60 vs $200 simply to get faster load times? I'd pay $60 and load from an ISO if I really wanted faster load times.

    Technology changes things, and turns stuff that was once unpossible into daily occurrences. To think that even well educated people can think of *EVERY* loophole and every possible problem is unrealistic to say the least.

  17. Re:I disagree on NVIDIA Releases new Budget GPUs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since majority of people do Windows, I think the question is moot since NO card has DX10 atm... so if you (or anyone) is going to advocate a 3+yr card - Nothing on the market has it atm. a $600 FX 7900 or a X1900 will be 'dated' in 6 months anyways.

    So why not buy a $50 card now and then buy the lowest DX10 card when it comes to market? That would be the smartest penny pincher plan in my book. Since I assume Aero runs better with atleast some kind of DX10.

    That is assuming you go for Vista and aren't one of the vocal %1 of the total population here who refuse to do anything Micro$oft for they are Da Debil! Otherwise who would ever need more than 64 megs on a GeForce 4 MX440.

  18. Re:Hmm... on Live 12-Hour Oblivion Marathon · · Score: 1

    Id say this isn't the case...

    In sports both teams have the same distance to go (100 yards, full court, 4 bases, whatever). both teams use the same equipment. both teams follow the same set of rules...

    What differentiates teams are the people playing. that's where games ARE the same. same set of rules, same tools. the only difference is between the keyboard and the chair. The only difference in 'sports' is the person holding the 'ball'.

    That's why when you play starcraft, quake, descent, or whatever game there is where you have the SAME playing field on both sides... what determnies who dominates is the skill on one side or another.

    When one team in sports has better players, they go to the super-bowl/stanley cup/etc. Why would games be any different? 2 perfect race drivers at the Indy 500 would have the same problem as 2 l33t drivers on any racing game. How is that different in the grand scheme of things? How is giving a golf buddy a 10 hole handicap any different than a handicap in Age of Empires 3 (where handicapee gets resources faster, costs less to build, etc)
