    Economy imploding

    So maybe you noticed the BoC rate cut against the backdrop of the gov't failing to post a budget. Or the slide of oil into oblivion, or the cooling down of the housing market that started in December. I guess I'm not much of an economist but it kind of looks like we're fucked when you expect...

    Sloppy backdoor recon op

    so I got this Android phone not long ago, some off-brand Chinese job. One of the first things I did was cull the Google shit and bad widgets. the phone didn't come with any bloatware except Facecrook and Twatter apps, not weird QQ shit like expected. Later on I get an app called Network Log...

    Valve fucks up

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/17/scary_code_of_the_week_steam_cleans_linux_pcs/ So yeah, Steam client for Linux likely a total hack job. Even a novice should know not to do something so insecure. This makes me think that Valve probably outsoured a bunch of the work to freelancers

    Going data only?

    So prices have finally dropped enough on smartphones that i was able to get a slick unit for a c-note but there's not a single talk & text plan out there that isn't complete bullshit. Bell has a contract-free data-only plan that looks perfect and I found a VOIP provider that also handles SMS...

    DIY NAS

    Someone threw out a fully-loaded box a few weeks ago and I snatched it up off the curb. Turns out it's an MDG-style custom build with a Core2 Duo chip (!!!) and decent mobo/RAM specs so I went out to get a PSU (was on sale for $60 total spent on that) and 2 HDDs (not counting this into the...

    Issues w/ Bell Fibe?

    Recently I moved into a new place and decided to go with Bell because there was a better deal available for me. So now I have some "Fibe" VDSL package, some times it's stable but other days I have a fuckload of dropped connections with literally no explanation in the router logs. Since I keep...

    Stories from space

    So one thing I repeatedly hear from non-EvE players is that they love the stories even though they have no interest in the game. As someone who loves writing, I think the awesome stories created in EvE are what draws me back time and time again (some days, I also have no interest in the game)...

    MMOs, VR, the future

    What inspires this post is an official summary (link) of an internet spaceship fight in China, which lasted for 23 hours and involved at the peak 3000 players on the field of battle, breaking the record again for the largest single engagement in a video game. A decade ago this would have been...

    D16 Turbo Parts

    I'm trying to sell this stuff as a kit, probably won't get any interest here but if you know anyone passionate about Civics I'd appreciate if you could let them know. Basically it's most of what you need for a d16 turbo build, the main thing it doesn't come with is a head and other small knick...
