[–]Stingray88 0 points1 point ago

Hah, that was... quite a long time ago. Almost a full century before the US existed.

The trick behind that one is that it simply plays in reverse after playing normal

Yep. Moore's law applies to transistor density, and that's all. Applying it to everything/anything else in computing is a misnomer.

TIL Steve Jobs shut down all philanthropic efforts at Apple when he returned to the company in 1997. by 996hurtin todayilearned

And yet it still falls under the category of philanthropy. Even a bad charity is still charity.

One-star reviews on newegg are a terrible indicator

FTFY

Reviews for almost everything everywhere are unbalanced toward the negative. When things work as expected, people are just happy and move on with their day. It's usually only when shit goes south that they want to put forth the effort into writing a review.

They do if you or I make a takedown request. They don't when the big dogs make a request, because they have more money behind them.

That's only if you have the box checked on the authenticator page of your bnet account to require it's use every time you log in.

But since it asks every time you use a different computer, unless you play in a cyber cafe or public library... that's really not necessary and causes you pointless hassle.

Your saying there isn't much drug use there is a whole episode of them taking shrooms and camping out in there office building

One episode. There's an episode of Sunny where Frank does LSD too, doesn't make it a stoner comedy.

and I do t know where you got the white thing from I could care less I'm white to

It was just another example of hypothetical terrible reasoning in comparison to your own terrible reasoning. Not sure what confuses about that... it wasn't something you had to respond to.

Also, it's you're, not your. You've messed that up twice now, and you might want to work on your sentence structure and punctuation too. This last comment made very little sense grammatically.

Your reasoning and conversation skills are not surprising coming from someone who actually likes Workaholics.

That's some pretty bad reasoning skills considering there really isn't that much drug use in the show. Even if there was, it wouldn't be a very good conclusion either. But it's not comedy that revolves around drug use, like Half Baked or Harold and Kumar. Coming to the conclusion that I just don't like white people is about as apt of a conclusion. (I'm actually white, and have used plenty of drugs in my day, and enjoy plenty of stoner comedies)

It's just a terrible show. There's nothing funny about it, and it's just trying as hard as it can to be It's Always Sunny and failing really bad.

It's only had 1 complete season so it couldn't have been canceled a long time ago

It's had 2 complete seasons, and the third starts next week. If could have, and should have, been canceled before the first season was over.

if I had to guess your against drug use

That's a pretty terrible guess and I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion.

What if blizzard is actually just clearing the accounts of gold and items to get people to use the authenticator?

Someone needs to take your tin foil away.

A lot of people reported odd hack jobs, like items worth a ton being left

A lot of it was probably automated, so that's not surprise at all.

and people who didn't do anything that would get themselves hacked being compromised.

If you've used the Internet and don't have an authenticator, that's something that can get you hacked.

I personally had a fresh battle net account

Irrelevant.

and a fairly new computer

Irrelevant.

didnt download anything

You haven't opened your web browser once on that computer?

If you did, you downloaded a whole lot of things.

just played diablo, but was still hacked

Do you have an authenticator?

I have good antivirus

Antivirus relies mostly on predefined virus/malware definitions. If I create a brand new keylogger and install it on your system, your antivirus may not see it at all. There are many other ways they can detect malicious activity, but it's never 100%. There exists no antivirus that can detect 100% of malware.

there was no hacking of the email

How do you know this for sure?

it was simply a hacker magicly knowing the account info

Keyloggers aren't magic.

Things just don't add up.

When you don't understand the math I can see how things would seem like they aren't adding up. But they do add up. They really do.

You're right. Except for all of it.

Does anyone have the Autenticator app?

Yes.

Does it actually work?

Considering no one with authenticators has been hacked, I'd say so.

Is it a pain in the ass to use?

No. You only have to use it once a week, or any time you use a different computer. Really not that big of a deal.

People aren't' full of shit

My experiences on the internet has shown me otherwise.

Moral of the story, get an authenticator.

Try going back to an older graphics driver.

I was having graphics bugs in D3 during the open beta weekend, rolled back one GPU driver release (AMD)... no more bugs. I've got completely smooth gameplay (50fps reliably) on a 3GHz Pentium e5700 dual core, Radeon HD 4350 1GB, 2GB DDR2 RAM...

How's your performance streaming video from iPhone to Apple TV via Airplay? by Isolderin apple

[–]Stingray88 0 points1 point ago

Everything AirPlay related works perfectly with my AppleTV. It didn't used to, but some updates of my AppleTV and Airport Extreme seem to have fixed that.

Seagate to acquire Mac storage provider LaCie for $186 million by LECHEDEMIPALOin apple

You're neglecting brand loyalty. LaCie is very popular among Mac users, and they charge ridiculous prices. Seagate has a lot to capitalize on here.
