TROPHY CASE

Reminds me that I need to watch Being Elmo again.

(Highly recommended if you haven't seen it)

Then they should have included 2 cartridges in the box. It would have been unprecedented yes, but would have been the correct thing to do.

Imagine if Final Fantasy 7 had been split into into 3 separate releases.

I enjoyed the first game immensely but I'm still bitter about it ending halfway through the quest.

Never did pick up the sequel because of it.

I'm fine with cliffhanger endings, but when they clearly spell out that your mission is to light all 4 lighthouses, then after lighting 2 of them they end the game...that ain't right.

ELI5: Why NBC has an exclusive TV deal with Notre Dame? by kjm16in sports

[–]satertek 1 point2 points ago

Because they've had it for over 20 years. And because even though half of those seasons have been mediocre at best, they're still Notre Dame, "the" Catholic school and they've still got the huge national audience, even if most of them are fair weather fans.

Huntsville Times (and two other large state papers) are going to a 3-day a week printing schedule. And to celebrate they've screwed al.com up completely with a horrid redesign. by Gen_Buck_Turgidsonin HuntsvilleAlabama

I wish I could give them money for a digital subscription for my Nook or Android tablet but sadly that's not possible.

Check your items, I was hacked during server maintenance and they didn't take everything! by crawldin Diablo

[–]satertek 1 point2 points ago

Yea, biggest downside to them is if you lose it. You have to call Blizzard and the couple times I've had to, I had to wait on hold for about an hour.

I think there may be a way to reset it now yourself if you just have the ID number of the authenticator, but there wasn't at the time.

It's just a random number generator (that uses a clock to generate the number), it doesn't connect to anything.

Edit: Well, pseudo-random number generator.

Space X's Falcon successfully launches by RunJunin space

Depends on the purpose of the rocket. Vandenburg is used to put satellites in polar orbit because they are unable to do so at the Cape (wouldn't want rocket pieces falling on Miami Beach!)

How can I efficiently price items for AH? by HelloDanniin Diablo

[–]satertek 0 points1 point ago

10 item limit is necessary as there is already so much stuff taking up space in the AH. That shouldn't prevent being able to cancel items though (maybe with a delay and gold fee to prevent abuse of it)

Probably the coolest interaction I've ever had on Twitter. by heymrkin startrek

In The Hands Of The Profits

That so should have been the title of a Ferengi episode.

Windows 8 Release Preview: RIP, Aero (2003-2012) by eggbeanin microsoft

[–]satertek 2 points3 points ago

You mean the Metro start panel? You have to go through the same process to get to that from the desktop: dragging the sidebar over and hitting the Windows icon.

I guess I could pin everything to the taskbar but that gets cluttered and is not a good solution.

[–]satertek 2 points3 points ago

They improved it and renamed it from menu to panel.

By making it harder to reach?

Right now in Windows 7 to get to open a document folder, a frequented program, or the control panel, I make two very quick clicks, one all the way in the bottom corner, then another a few inches above at what I want.

In Windows 8 "desktop mode" I have to do the same on the opposite side of the screen, but then click and DRAG the cursor a few inches to the left, then click Search, then click on or type the name of the program.

That dragging step and additional click or two isn't a huge timesink, but dragging just feels awkward, unnatural and uncomfortable to do with a mouse.

Bottom line it's just less efficient on a desktop with a mouse, and should not exist on any system with a mouse.

Found this hidden letter from the previous home owner....how sad by cage715in pics

Agree except about credit cards, they're one tool you can use to keep get that lower monthly mortgage payment. (Unless the person just isn't able to maintain self control)

buying a home so expensive

100k is probably the cheapest you can buy any house nowadays that isn't 50 years old in a run down neighborhood.

A $100k home with a 30 year mortgage is somewhere between 700-900/mo, which is completely doable on $20/hr.

Multiplayer gaming at its finest... by SirFerretin pokemon

While also playing russian roulette with your save game. If you do it at just the wrong time it'll corrupt it. I lost my 150 Pokemon Red game copying my Mewtwo for a friend...

Just got back from the Avengers by rk3313in AdviceAnimals

It was especially cool because that's how the movie was actually filmed. I do wonder how they recreated it 20 years after the fact though.

Review: First Vertex 4 firmware update (nearly 2x the write speed performance in the 128GB model) by satertekin hardware

[–]satertek[S] 0 points1 point ago

It looks like all of them will be destructive. Wasn't that way when they used Sandforce, but the current trend since the Octane drives with Indilinx is everything's destructive.

Kinda a pain, but firmwares like these with massive improvements are pretty rare.

No no no no noooooo! by DJMattB241in gaming

[–]satertek 0 points1 point ago*

I had an off-brand memory card that did this all the time at random. I'd let it sit awhile then pop it back it and it would work fine.

What I ended up doing was rubber banding an old, small finned heatsink to the bottom. Never had another problem.

I did lose everything once when my sister accidentally wiped it on this error. It was a 64Mb card (8MB, I think the standard official card was only 500K) so I lost dozens and dozens of games.....

They say it will be released today, but does not appear to be on their site yet.

Anxiously waiting as I plan on finally cloning my Vertex 2 in my main desktop and replacing it with my Vertex 4. :D

EDIT: DOWNLOAD IT HERE
