    Warning: SteelSeries Engive vs. Roccat Talk

    you've been mom'd by steelseries keyboard! "Don't use Roccat stuff, it's bad for you...." at least you didn't keep it long enough to hear "are you going out in those clothes?" keyboard looks so flashy i wouldn't be surprise if it could talk and grow a finger to wag at you

    Death of Facebook predicted

    Ah so you're such a shady character that you worry what your boss would think if he ever found out how you really spend your Saturdays!? Oh well, time will tell. FB scored a small victory bringing MS on board to share server development but it's obviously just a reaction to Google's growing...

    Death of Facebook predicted

    So? That just makes it easier for people to give it a try if they already have an account. The problem right now is Facebook is too convenient: it's on everyone's phone and everyone is using it already. Nobody really has a strong enough reason to try Google+, but when they eventually do, how...

    Death of Facebook predicted

    I don't know, what does "online = free shit" have to do with it? I'm just responding to what you said. Who gives a fuck about grandma power? Grandmas weren't really on the internet while MySpace was big, they're on FB now because someone pushed the internet into their hands. I have no fucking...

    And yet, iTunes and Netflix are profitable business models in fields they pioneered. Assuming that's true, FB will see a significant drop in ad revenue. Everyone knows young people are the ideal demographic for marketing, who will pay to advertise to old people that don't want to buy...

    Hard Drive Reliability - Study Inc.

    the more read/write* you do to them the heavier the wear and the sooner they are liable to die. read is also important in this case since HDDs are mechanical and need to spool for data to be pulled

    Death of Facebook predicted

    The problem is that better alternatives could exist but they have a hard time catching on because most people don't give a fuck about the privacy issue or being force-fed advertising. Herp derp if it's free and all my friends use it... Then there's the tech hurdle as well. IRC servers and...

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/01/23/facebook_disease_study/ 2017 :( that's a long time to keep my fingers crossed, sure as fuck hope it dies off even sooner. I think less people are using Facebook already, right?

    Hard Drive Reliability - Study Inc.

    I've gone through a shitload of drives myself and all but one of all the Seagate drive I've ever owned going back to the late 90s has died. So much micronesian goat porn lost forever.

    Canadian researchers are squirreling away large volumes of data in their basements for others to use

    i think the answer is in there somewhere. see this is my problem with the whole thing. you talk about how important facts are then give me a self-righteous statement with no facts at all. i want to know about the specific nature of the documents being shredded, i want to know who is getting...

    Canadian researchers are squirreling away large volumes of data in their basements for others to use

    Is it? Really the only people we're hearing about this from are the very people it affects. I don't think I can trust the opinion of people who are bound to be a bit upset at having their own value questioned as they're dumped from a privileged researched post. IME the type of people who get...

    Healthy Breakfasts

    I wake up a hungry mofo usually since I haven't eaten in at least 12 hours so food -> stomach fast is key. Soon as I roll out of bed kettle is on and I slap two packets of oatmeal into a bowl, top that shit with plain wheat bran for fibre (wheat bran next to oatmeals in cereal aisle), and pour...

    Any good VPS host?

    I've been with Windows Azure for a while and it's simply awesome. you get a web interface you can use to launch the servers yourself (Windows or Linux), you get billed by the hour depending on the amount of resources you provision, and should you even need customer service it's professional...
