Shadow of Mordor - GPU requirements

Does anyone have any experience running SoM on a Radeon 7750? My HTPC is in a low profile chassis, and I don't have the space for a full sized card. I know it's on the low end, but I'm wondering if it'll run at any sort of reasonable framerate (don't need 60fps+).

Xbox 360 Controller - USB charging mod?

I've picked up a wireless Xbox360 controller so I can play Fallout3 and the Batman games on my HTPC. I also have the rechargable battery pack and charging kit. It seems as though the controller will only charge when connected to the PC. I was hoping to be able to charge the controller using...

Do some apps show massive AMD/nvidia differences?

Something else is up. Either the drivers are improperly installed, or the software isn't actually card agnostic. The software we use at work (developed in house) was initially only tested on nVidia cards, since that's what all of our workstations have (Quadro 600). AMD and Intel support didn't...

Saves the hosting company on bandwidth. Depending on how many downloads a site serves per month, the savings can add up pretty quickly.

MySQL Database Backup Recommendation

Another nice trick you can do with mysqldump is to commit the resulting backup file in git. That way you get versioned backups so you can quickly and easily restore from any point in history. !/bin/bash mysqldump -u user -ppassword --all-databases > mysql/alldb.sql DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d`...

Slightly excessive Head parking help

It's a complete non-issue as far as reliability is concerned. I've got one last WD10EACS in my server that's pushing close to 3,000,000. The other three drives that I had are happily running as drives in my sister's and mother's NAS enclosures.

FCC sells America out.

They exist to provide a service and aim to profit off it. At the moment, they're subsidizing the markets in the hopes that the increased userbase and traffic will generate more of their main revenue (i.e. ads). American ISPs being able to play favourites is not beneficial to anyone except...

**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

You're only considering your own case where you've already got something to give up. Yes, you don't want to give up your SoJ and Unity. Most people have neither. Set items can be easily crafted. The ring can be easily farmed. The ease at which you can get two three piece bonuses is what makes...

Best browser for Windows?

Can I do this with NTFS volume mount points?

Can I do this with NTFS volume mount points?

The Windows Search Service role in 2008 R2 should allow you to index all the drives on your server. I believe that it should be plug-and-play with any Windows 7 or 8 clients. I have a storage share that's mapped to Z: on my workstations. I can simply hit Win+F and type in a search string to...

Best browser for Windows?

You keep throwing around the word "crap". Please tell me what part of IE11 is actually bad. If it's not as feature filled as something else, that doesn't mean that it's bad. It means it lacks certain features. And in many ways, I preferred my 91 Prelude to the 94 Prelude. The newer one was...

Server disk management The 3ware controller exports a single volume that's available for partitioning just like any other drive. If I were to format it as MBR, then I'd be limited just the same way as if I were to try to format a single 4TB disk. I've migrated storage solutions a couple of...

After Supporting Prop 8, New CEO Brendan Eich Comes Under Fire From Mozilla Employees

That's likely a case with error handling then. Firefox has historically had very good error handling, but that's again an issue that lies with the web developer. Try to validate just about any page on Ebay with W3C - it fails miserably. Good thing I can't recommend you develop for any of my...

Maybe my information is out of date, but I remember discussions at some point regarding Chrome's implementation of Adblock only hiding elements. If Adblock and ABP use the API you mentioned, then Firefox really doesn't have much going for it.

Blame the web developer when a website doesn't work. When you only have to deal with modern browsers, making a functional website is not that hard. If you're having to support IE6-8, then that's a different matter. What features don't work for you?
