holy shit, I remembered how to log in! but yeah x2 to what dead mike said. I played a bit of Europa Universalis IV but pretty much nothing else since those FUCKING ASSCLOWNS dropped a nuke on CSS with whatever that sorry excuse for a CS game was they released after. How long has it really been...

Yo! Sorry, I don't understand what you mean about apps. I'm planning to test the “cloud” capabilities of the NAS this week with a shell script on my phone that will automatically connect and back files up over SSH/SCP. Should be fun

What's up TD?! I've been busy lately and just getting back into old projects. This one has been on the backburner a while but now it's done and running. I bailed on FreeNAS after doing some research and finding out that it's not so bulletproof when running off non-ECC RAM. I wasn't about to...

So TFSA limit is firm 10K now, effective immediately. Ontario and federal budgets look rosy short-term but shaky long-term, so I guess that means we're sticking with the crossing-that-bridge-when-we-get-there strategy. I'm not a fan of the Hydro One deal but it shouldn't have come as a...

yeah true it's a bit big talk given that i've never had to go hungry. i didn't mean to come across as condescending just trying to somehow say that it's all a crapshoot. people in this country are acting unrealistically with their finances (avg. household debt at ~180% of annual income w.t.f.)...

I'm on my second career so yeah I've had moments like that behind me and still ahead of me. Fair or unfair means nothing, we all know the world is an unfair place. You can take a plane from YYZ in any direction for any amount of time and meet millions who have drawn a worse lot in life. Until...

if you've properly explained to the potential employer why you provide better value, even at a higher price, than the other less-qualified slob, and the employer still chooses the other guy, then why the fuck would you even be disappointed at being passed over for the job? either the employer...

Because our dependency ratio is growing larger, Bucky. Take a look at this. We're not pumping out enough young bucks to keep up with the old fucks, and if the old fucks expect to retire then all the responsibility falls on the young bucks to keep adding funds to the CPP, which is essentially...

I agree and that's exactly why my outlook is grim. The fact that central banks all over the world are trying to manipulate the economy to maintain the status quo is why the economy will continue to stagnate. We're all so indebted that nobody wants to rock the boat so instead we're all just...

some good news to go with the bad: the TFSA contribution limit will likely be doubled. It hasn't been confirmed but it's almost guaranteed to happen, as a desperate measure to keep household debt from continuing to rise while the interest rates are low. The main question I'm waiting to have...

Of course buyers are lined up, because you have employee pricing on mortgages and the CMHC is readying to jack insurance premiums on the overleveraged buyers. So, CMHC is worried, insurers are worried, we're still waiting on the federal budget, and the dollar has crashed to the low point it was...

fuck i missed the sale :( i played this when it was still an f2p mod and liked it a lot, class-based makes it pretty similar to DoD but the maps are more spaced out and there's better focus on cover than there was in DoD. let's just say it makes DoD look like a fragfest. not very fun to play...

Shuttering FutureShop seems like a no-brainer in the grand scheme of things but it's symptomatic of retail's changing relationship with the market. The middle-class, who have been the major buyers of the sort of goods sold at FutureShop (and RadioShack, Target, etc) are being squeezed harder...

Did you guys see RBC advertising "employee pricing mortgages"? I guess a lot of Canadians will spend the rest of their natural lives paying interest charges

funny you mention that, i actually had one of those large steelseries mats and downgraded to a cloth pad that's only 8" long because the steelseries one was flopping off the end of my table. then again a lot of gamers have 2-3 monitors and a table you can land a fucking cessna on so might as...

the restore option only works if you have snapshots saved, at this point i think the best solution would be to unplug your HDD, wrap it in sandpaper then slam it repeatedly into your friend's face until he cries uncle

http://ca.msi.com/support/mb/760GMP21_FX.html#support-cpu <- compatibility (zambezi = bulldozer, vishera = piledriver) a CPU upgrade is definitely a good idea but I can't think of any reason you would need an 8-core CPU. more physical cores are definitely beneficial for many server, HPC and...

if the PSU is plugged in and switched on then guaranteed yes, and if you're caseless you can just ground yourself on the live PSU itself
