My wife and I are playing Wildstar as well and we're both enjoying it, although with our baby we're not able to play MMOs nearly as much as we use too. I've played WoW since it's been out (and every expansion) with a few breaks to play Rift, SWTOR, Secret World and Guild Wars 2. I have a couple of G...
I've been working from home for the past 5 years. I do support for a VoIP company and we provide support 7 days a week 8am till 12pm 365 days a year. Some of the things I would suggest would be following your 'normal' routine. Get up at the same time, shower, dress and the rest of your morning ritua...
Great to see people from The Tech Report playing SWTOR. I'm on a server called 'Daragon Trail' playing with the wife and a guild called Redemption. We're Republic. I've got a 28 Jedi Knight (Guardian), 28 Smuggler (Gunslinger), 21 Jedi Consular (Seer/Sage) and a 21 Trooper (Combat Medic), I'm enjoyi...
The downside of the Focus is that it has all of the Galaxy S drawbacks (flimsy build, reliability issues, not sure if they've fixed the GPS issues) without the key selling point of the Galaxy S (the 1 GHz Hummingbird CPU and PowerVR 540 GPU). I'd wait for microsoft to relax the hardware requirement...
My wife just got a WP7 phone in the form of the Samsung Focus. It's got a really nice display, is very light weight and runs very smooth. Getting her contacts on the phone was nice and easy. Downloading apps is a breeze and is 'fun'. I like the OS more then I like the iOS. She's upgrading from the i...
I heard th HTC Passion may be coming to AT&T in February maybe March. It has roughly the same spec's as Googles Nexus One. However it has HTC Sense UI which a lot of people enjoy. Just remember that with SenseUI, MotoBlur and any other manufacturer-specific layer on top of the Android platform,...
Hello, I heard th HTC Passion may be coming to AT&T in February maybe March. It has roughly the same spec's as Googles Nexus One. However it has HTC Sense UI which a lot of people enjoy. I myself have an iPhone. I enjoy it as for the most part there are a ton of well made apps. It's very 'polish...
Offtopic. We were asked to no longer call clients/customers users because it's a derogatory and impersonal term. :lol: If they were clients or customers, I'd call them such. They are employees whos access I manage, most of whom I've never met. From my AD/BES administration consoles, they are all fa...
One of my favorites is Hero of Sparta, it was on sale for $0.99 but I think it went back up. I go to the following site for reviews on games and they usually announce when a game has gone on sale (http://toucharcade.com/).
As balzi mentioned smaller companies are often more willing to higher people with less experience. Also think about markets that aren't maybe directly related to computers such as VoIP. Where you'll be dealing with SIP, TCI/IP, NAT, configuring software, hardware, learning proper troubleshooting pro...
Been running SP2 on my Laptop and haven't experienced any issues with it. The install was smooth and fast, everything is working as it was before. On my other laptop I have Win7 RC1 one and don't really notice any difference speed wise, games play the same FPS as before. I like the new UI just for t...
How about whoop his ass when he gets 'distracted' on his way home and isn't there on time?
No kidding.. parents giving an 11 year old a cell phone. give me a break. You can't discipline your kid enough to get home on time and you want to get him a smartphone?
Have a Lenovo S10 and it is nice for light surfing, streaming videos and emailing. Even some MS Office or OpenOffice work. For what it's designed for it works great, haven't had any issues.
have to say i'm enjoying WotLK a lot. I'm happy they made a lot of the raid encounters 'easy' as I'm in a very casual guild and we cannot even get Anub' Rekhan down or clear trash on the way to Noth the Plaguebringer. With Anub'Rekhan we don't have the positioning down and healers are getting hit by...
Do you all really find it that surprising that they are resetting the honor points? They've already stated they don't want people using their flying mounts till later so you don't skip content. Same would hold true with PVP gear, people would just get PVP gear as soon as they hit 80 and skip all the...
Wow that seems pretty big. I was looking forward to at least trying this game, now after AoC I doubt I will. For all the faults of WoW at least the damn game works. I don't care to pay $50+ bucks plus a montly fee to beta test unfinished software. If games like this really want to make it in this ma...
Finally got this game working.. so me and the gf are playing it.. she still hates it.. and I find it ok just because it isn't WoW and it's something new. The UI is uninspiring to say the least.. grouping with others only brings out this tiny bar, but that's ok cause I don't see much reason to group,...
I was making a lot of gold by mining, engineering (ie gathering primals) as well as doing every quest I could find and was able to afford my Epic flying mount after a month of work. I had started the Nether Drake rep grind and you make a TON of gold doing that. after 6 days I have 2400 gold.. from m...
I was really pretty excited about this game.. Finally bought it for me and my gf and installed the game on our new DV9700 HP Laptops that run WoW great. Well I couldn't even get the game installed, when I try do connect to the Patch server I get "FATAL ERROR: Could not connect to patch server&q...
Hello, Thank you for the help. I believe it's Linux file system because you can't 'see' it with Windows Vista. Plus it took over the whole D: drive except for folders in the drive. ie there was about 10gb worth of data on the D: drive before installing Ubuntu, it's a 160gb partition, with 10gb used,...
Hello, My gf wants me to uninstall Ubuntu from her laptap. It was installed on her D: drive which also contains some of her backup files so I don't want to just format if I don't have too. This was a full install of Ubuntu from the CD not the one that installs in windows and can be uninstalled throu...
This sounds like a very interesting game, I too have been playing WoW since it came out and rather bored of it now. It's great reading other TR members opinions and experiences in this game so I hope people can keep posting and tell the rest of us how the game is. I don't think my current system is ...
I tried installing Ubuntu on my laptop on the 2nd partition with Wubi, but when booting up it came up with an error and wouldn't load. So I installed from the CD doing the Install Ubuntu (following these instructions (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Installing-Ubuntu-8-04-LTS-84314.shtml)). And I see...
Thank you for the information. So far except for a few hiccups, I'm loving it. It response so much faster and these days, besides playing World of Warcraft, I'm just using a IM, Thunderbird, Firefox and Open Office. I have no reason to use Windows XP or Vista anymore. All my work related application...
I too am using Ubuntu as of Friday night. So far just running Pidgin and Firefox. Have printing set up to work over the network between the Ubuntu Desktop PC and a Ubuntu Laptop. While setting it up I've run a lot of 'commands' that I don't really understand while trying to get my SoundBlaster Live ...
I don't see it as a big deal, considering most people get their OS, or upgrade their OS when they buy a new PC and I don't think they have a problem choosing their OS. I use Vista HP at home and Business at work both work great.
