What's the deal with Elite:Dangerous?

So you got a couple of options with this game: - Online - play in an instance of the full universe - Group / private - play with a select group of friends in and instance of the full universe - Solo - play single player with no PvP interaction The basic premise is that all options are...

What's the deal with Elite:Dangerous?

Yeh, you get trade-in value for your ship(s). I doubt ship prices are the same everywhere. They may be now depending on specific testing but will certainly not be in release. Check this doc out on design decisions. It's long but pretty eye-opening re. what the game wants to be and...

What's the deal with Elite:Dangerous?

People have been using Occulus Rift with Elite since alpha; support was released at the second alpha patch, I believe, and has been continuously improved since. There's plenty of folks now using both DK1 and DK2. I think support for this, and other controllers / hardware, is pretty close...

Please recommend a jet fighter sim

A2A is just one component. Like the above poster hinted at, sims like A10 and Blackshark are based around ground attack aircraft, hence the focus of the sim is ground attack, the mission of the aircraft. You can feasibly spend 100's of hours playing DCS A10 and never get into an A2A...

File Share Auditing

There is ShareEnum, which looks like it provides similar features to AccessEnum but for network shares: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897442.aspx You should also be able to put together a PowerShell script to run an audit on your network's fileshare's and output the...

Games for a Middle School LAN Party

Civilization III, IV or V depending on budget. Hell, maybe you could get a company to donate a bunch of copies for education purposes.

Skyrim - 560ti runs better than new 7950?

I'm not weighing in on the manufacturer war but what you're saying with regards to updating AMD drivers is wrong. As I indicated earlier in the thread, there's no requirement for a clean install when updating AMD drivers. If you have CCC running you can go directly to the update utility and...

Skyrim - 560ti runs better than new 7950?

FYI - There hasn't been a requirement to uninstall old AMD drivers when updating to the new version for a while, you're not even required to reboot I think. I know that I haven't uninstalled old drivers when updating since at least the beginning of last year, that's on three computers, two...

Handguns are fun, automatic weapons are no fun

True. From when I used to play around in Op. Flashpoint and Arma I remember they always had problems getting the AI to react to suppressive fire properly. Of course human players also often failed to react very realistically to 'electronic' suppressive fire, I guess the motivation just...

Run IE9 as different domain account? Not as simple as it might seem.

I don't know about specifically running IE under a different domain account but I think you should be able to do the following to get this to work without you requiring to log on every time: 1 - Open IE 2 - Goto Settings > Internet Options > Security 3 - Select Local Intranet 4 - Goto...

When will the 7970 eyefinity cards be released?

It's the Sapphire reference, I picked it up right around release. It's overclocked to core 1050MHz and memory 1500MHz. I get about 10FPS extra in DCS A10 which makes it very playable, stock's a bit dodgy with the graphics settings I run. I haven't tested any specifics with iRacing, it's...

When will the 7970 eyefinity cards be released?

I might not be the best yardstick for comparison. It's a sim rig and unfortunately a number of sims don't seem to support crossfire. Right now it's either running DCS A10 or iRacing, neither of which support crossfire. If they supported crossfire I'd have a second 7970 in there right away...

When will the 7970 eyefinity cards be released?

I have a single 7970 running 3x30" monitors at 7680x1600 with no issues. I am required to have an active display port adapter, which is a bit crap, but everything works very well.

Possible new tactical shooter, Rainbow Six ilk

Good point but we don't always choose exactly what we want to do. I certainly don't know the circumstances but not everyone would probably have the principles to refuse to work on X project if their boss told them to, it might well result in them having no job at all. Definitely like you said...
