  1. 7 months of light use and my evga nvidia card looks to be toast. Computer wouldnt even post this morning with it installed (I think) and no signal is sent to the monitor. Did all the usual things like strip everything out except the cpu&ram. The fans looked to be running. I am currently running my amd card with everything else put back and all seems to be fine. The newer card is 8-pin power while the amd is 6. Something wrong there maybe? Anything I can do to check for that? Any other things I can do to see if its the card or something else? All worked fine when I shut down last night. Anybody ever do the cross-shipment RMA with evga? I am %99 sure the card is a goner. But I fear in the back of my mind that they would check it out and find nothing wrong with it then send it back. Or keep it but not refund the cost of the replacement card.
  2. AT&T? Considering their fucking telemarketers call us 4-5 a week during dinner... or even later... not a chance.
  3. Problem is, there is no need for truth gas. Everyone knows this intuitively. Even tho some also hold the views that none of those things are true. They are true, yet they arent. The Orwellian idea of Doublethink has truly come home to roost even more than the usual political rhetoric seen in the past. Senator Roark from Sin City said it best.: "Power don't come from a badge or a gun. Power comes from lying. Lying big, and gettin' the whole damn world to play along with you. Once you got everybody agreeing with what they know in their hearts ain't true, you've got 'em by the balls."
  4. Yes MW2. 'The King' killstreak.
  5. I would think they would only sell 2-packs.
  6. Hmmm. I was sure all of those worked. But if only one on the new list didnt, no complaints from me.
  7. The new rotations have maps that havent been played on this mod in a long time. If at all. Some may work better than others for playability. If you have a comment one way or another about a particular map find your friendly neighborhood admin and let your opinion be known.
  8. There are a few checks but the basic one is total time played on this server, with this current mod filename name. Rank is not checked because that value is little more than another way to measure score. Not fair to people that have played four times as long as you but suck, or are full time snipers, and have lower ranks. Beyond that, it also checks for clan members and spectators. Non-clan spectators have the lowest priorities.
  9. DSL. I have never had a major problem with my current g Linksys. Albeit my current ISP speed is only 5-6MB or so when not overloaded from usage by other homes in the area so HD quality is limited to be sure. Only occasional issues depending on the video. However its the wireless streaming from my computer with high quality videos that cant keep up that is most obvious. Currently using Kodi on my firetv. A nice thing to install if you dont have it. Unfortunately wired isnt an option. Currently as long as bitrate doesnt go over 6-7mbps, depending on buffer, it can usually keep up. Some videos I have seen go up to 20 on some complex shots. I have one movie, made in 1984 released with little DNR to preserve the original look, that on test mkv runs still have pretty high bit rates due to the grain. I dont particularly want to run it through my own DNR. Anyways, after reading more I stayed away from TP-link. Too unreliable in the long term and customer support from China is terrible. If at all. But all the major brands looked good and I chose this one.
  10. After consideration I decided I had no need for an 'ac' router. Everything I have is 'n' and I dont foresee getting anything with ac in the future. So went with a linksys N900. Much cheaper and I can use the savings elsewhere on something I would actually use now.
  11. Best thing about Mad Max, as little CGI as humanly possible. And this from someone that likes well done CGI (meaning NOT Transformers nor SW prequels). Oh and speaking of that movie, how many people lamented that Tom Hardy was going to suck and ruin it.
  12. Isnt that one that was played before? A Star Wars map or something?
  13. Yea the $200 one is out of my price range. Budget considerations are always a big factor. The C7 for $95 is a good deal but there are limitations compared to what is desirable I suppose. The next model up has a couple other nice things but not sure if its worth it for a typical home environment that basically comes down to usual internet usage, streaming, and possibly a media server.
  14. Hi guys. Yup time to upgrade my router. I have a 'g'. Ancient by todays standards. It worked fine for my needs until I started streaming HD both via Netflix/Amazon and locally. My ISP connection itself doesnt allow for really good quality (5MB usually) and there are times its less due to demand in the area. Various equipment in the area needs to be upgraded in the future but they have no idea when that will be done. But its fine at 720 albeit with some occasional buffer issues. However recently there have been some local files that had periods of really high bit rates. 20MBps. No idea why since the scenes dont look overly complex. So router upgrade it is. Anyone with experience using TP-Link products? Decent sales on them. Routers these days have USB3 so it would also be nice to have a basic external enclosure as a file store, which these models say they can do, instead of leaving my computer on. DLNA is not important since I will just make sure that it is a format the firetv supports. Which so far has been good.
  15. Played the alpha months ago. It showed promise. Standard UT style game. However the major stumbling block was even simply trying to join a game. I am hoping that is just a peculiarity of being the alpha and the final product will have the traditional server browser UT has always had. Since the eventual goal is a highly moddable system, as in the past, many great things can be done with it. But only if its easy for the end user to play. After all, UT was where the freezetag mod was born.
  16. You mean the timer stops at zero and nothing happens at the end of the round? I assume round 1. That is unusual. Nothing in the map afaik should affect any kind of timer.
  17. They promise a server browser for BO3 eventually for mods and unranked servers. But promises are easily broken.
  18. I suppose its the new fertilizer.
  19. I will have to try this one. I cant stand freezetag anymore. A "Dominatrix" mod. That sounds interesting. Not sure how it would work tho.
  20. Once you play Unreal using the Goliath Cannon, you will stfu about tubes. Tubes are quaint by comparison.
  21. Yup many of the bigger chains will explicitly say that there is a refund/sales window if you buy something early. Saw a lot of this around Christmas.
  22. We can? Had to look it up. Closest match was from Naruto. Havent seen it yet.
  23. From 8.1? Of course you would love it. So would I. But you will only take 7 from me kicking and screaming. When it aint broke dont force fixes on me. Anyways, even with manual updating must be sure about what is what. Last time around they changed the particular update from 'optional' to 'recommended' so as to get past people that never install the optional stuff. Soon it will be upgraded to 'important'. Currently this one seems to be the most obvious update to look for but it will likely change again. If you see it, uncheck it in WU and set it to 'hidden' so it wont show up again. KB3035583
  24. I think there are plenty of people that would be that stupid. Just look at our elections.
  25. checked and log damage is off. Stuff like kill logging has to be done in the script I think.
