Sure. Isometric grid paper is a great thing to have around to teach 2d and 3d construction, geometry and can be very creative. Like lego blocks on paper. I prefer the dot only type.
Our neighbours over the ditch (Australia) have just had their government cut funding for renewables because windfarms are ugly and noisy (in favour of coal). Someone said that there's 300 years of coal and natural gas supplies. The newer power stations are gas fired though.
EGGFUCKINGZACTLY! Except that this should of been first post. I can't believe how this got onto/. and that Timothy should of read TFA first and realised that this is crap.
Ok so a machine came into the shop with a pile of BHOs and other malware. I did the normal scans, found 96 of them, cleaned them up and everything ok. A specific malware site came back. Now I did rootkit scans, in depth scans. Nothing found but Chrome and Firefox was clean, only IE 10 suffered. Busting my brains on this, I set home page to be null. Worked ok except when IE was restarted. Nothing in the registry, services, hidden files/folders that could account for this. Everytime I started IE, back it came. So thinking logically I realised that there was no malware on the system and that IE was calling it somehow when it loaded. A few minutes later I discovered that the shortcut link was appended with a http address to the malware site! A very simple infection that no amount of scanning could fix.
I think it's game code that causes problems. I had 3rd party confirmation of this from another custom builder as I have frustratingly tried to solve issues with gamer clients like jitter and lag etc. So it's not just crossfire/SLI that's the cause. The AMD 295X2 is a neat solution but not perfect but I went with this on a recent build. The 3rd party guy claims he has got written answers from a few developers about this. Some of the gamer sites also recognise that coding issues are significant in playability.
New computer will have Core i7 4790k 16GB RAM 250 GB SSD (and all the old drives) NVidia GeForce GTX 960 And a case that's easy to add and upgrade items as I please
I do custom systems. I built the same for a client on an X97 Gigabyte Black except I used an AMD 295X2 watercooled card and a 1TB Samsung Pro SSD. It also has a whopping 1500 watt power supply to drive the graphics card. The processor is sweet and cool with the standard fan but the client wanted something better, so a big Coolermaster with massive fins dropped the temp down by about 9c - not that it needed it. I mildly overclocked the 4790K to 4100Mhz but I'm sure I can get 4400 out of it later on. The case had to be a big ATX to hold the 30cm AMD and again, a Coolermaster case with mounting points for the radiator with a couple of externally controlled fans was an excellent buy. Multiple 4K screens if you want it, but currently it's driving a 27" HDTV monitor with maxed out medium resolution so frame rates are super high. Very quiet system and someday he'll give it back to me when he wants to upgrade. And yes, if you have a few clients like that, you never need to buy a system yourself. I've re-purposed quite a few ex gaming machines. The last (and only) PC I actually paid for was a Celeron 600Mhz in the late 90's.
I have the same problem but I've found a solution of sorts. You need a SAS/Sata tower. They are a simple esata tower with 8, 10, 12, 16 slots for HDs and are relatively cheap. Sata will fit into the SAS backboard so load it up with some cheap drives.
That's a bit unfair. Expecting complexity with the Macs I was working with was wrong, so yes, dumbing down is what I did. Finder can show running apps btw, but your right - I have no fucking clue how OS X works.
I've been in a similar position. I was working on a harassment/discrimination project for the gov. I actually convinced them to include an appendix in their own documentation. That worked. I left an email address with the management and a readme.txt on screen. I fwd relevant docs/emails to my server as well as leaving a 'How To" on the desk thinking if my replacement needed something then I could forward on what they needed. I couldn't do more than that.

Octo (a nickname) was born on the 8/8/88. Totally meaningless otherwise except for the epithet.

Hahahaha! Made my day. Thanks.

The only actor who could act without acting. I always believed his roles. He had such gravitas.

I've done better. I DELETED my Host file completely!

YAY for the new chip and memory. I just hope the TDP isn't so power sucking as the R9 series.
Just edit the properties of the shortcut, or better still, delete the shortcut and make a new one.

Occasionally a rogue moderator gets loose. We all suffer.
Some of the potholes I know of have tenure.
Because they test and develop for Win machines. There other stuff is *nix based.

It's not the processor that I question, but the ram.

The Soggoths will get you before that happens.
Anyway we will be ALL of The Body soon. It should be the next mantra for MS.
Phew! I was getting worried after reading their new EULAs. Thankfully you've assuaged my fears.

That's not half of it. Torrents are starting to appear in 4k. Even Bluray stuff takes ages. An 8k download will burn my modem up.
Mine had 625 lines. Nothing wrong with my 19" analog except it doesn't work anymore.
