About to buy a computer, but now I need help on a... well, rouge, mission.

Buy a second router and hook it up when you have the opportunity.

There is no "beating" Skyrim. That goes double for the PC version with some wonderful mods.

Mormans and draconian beer laws. Good luck.

If you are using Firefox or Chrome you should get AdBlock Plus. It won't stop all of the sleazy activities, but it will make the web a much better place.

The problem is that websites other than facebook embed javascript in their pages that connect to domains that are also operated by facebook, or an advertisment network that deals with facebook. It is not just facebook that does this, every advertisment network does. I am telling you why facebook shows up frequently even though it is blocked. It is javascript on other pages that send facebook requests for data just because you loaded their webpage. Deleting cookies will not stop the hypotheticalsiteexample.com's javascript from continuing to fetch data from facebook each time you load hypotheticalsiteexample.com. That is why facebook still shows up even though you have blocked it. It is a bit complex, and more than a bit shady for sites to do this.

Check out FBackup. Free software with more options that other free programs I know of. I've installed it on a few clients' computers. Maybe someone knows a bit more about it and can give some info about it.

Fantastic execution. I'm going to stash this bookmark on all of my devices. I'll even write it down on paper (ewwwww) in case of nuclear war. Hell, I will probably just download the entire site and use it as an offline archive.

Thanks, I found it and just finished setting it up.

I jumped from 10.04 to 12.04 and have been using it ever since. Frankly, I absolutely hated it until I got all of the tweak tools. I also installed "Unity-Revamped", which put some much-needed launcher features in (click to minimize, window dodge if multiple windows are open in an app). Really, it isn't so bad now. The tweak tools are very easy to use. It did take some time and patience to get used to Unity.

This is not a troll question. Why Windows 8? Is there some magic trick to make it actually usable? I find it a complete mess. TELL ME YOUR SECRETS

Does your Nautilus script move the back and forward buttons in Nautilus from the right side (seriously, what drugs were they on to think that was a good idea), to the left side?

Old article, crappy phone. Do any other manufacturers do what HTC does by putting 1 GB internal storage? It is utterly ridiculous.

You are not taking in to account that he might not even know what multi-channel memory is. He might also think a different combination of RAM would be just changing which slot it is in. You didn't mention that you can change the voltage to the RAM, thus making even more of these magical combinations. Because changing the clock speed and voltage means it is a completely different stick of RAM! What do you mean by retail junker? Sub-quality parts provided to a brand name manufacturer for the lowest bid? If so, carry on.

His IQ is probably a few points higher by not watching it. </sarcasm>

All you need to know is if it is DDR, DDR2, or DDR3. He made it sound extremely complicated. If it does need replaced, buying a new pair of RAM is my recommendation. You want the both sticks of RAM to be identical in an ideal setup. RAM is extremely cheap these days.

You always test RAM individually. Now you know why! Good luck.

That is an incredibly precise answer. I like it.

I don't believe his answer is meant to be obnoxious, as you seemingly have taken it. Without his narrower questions, the only answer that makes sense at all is Death by secession of biological function, narrowed down to Inadequate oxygen supply to the brain for all but the most primitive invertebrates.

This can't be right, their faces don't look diseased.

This was posted today, in case you missed it.

While I can respect your opinion about Linux Desktops, I shun your choice of an Apple product. You are sacrificing software freedom for pretty graphics and a near-fascist corporate agenda. Not to mention the massively over-priced hardware. I'll just be blunt; if you care about UI more than freedom and community, then you won't be missed.

P.S. - LibreOffice and GIMP kick ass.

Is "Jam Cell Phones 2" some sort of program, or are you a 12-year-old middle school drop out?

You underestimate the number of bored geeks with photoshop on reddit.

That's nice. However, you didn't explain why you posted this in /r/TrueReddit.

A subreddit for really great, insightful articles, reddiquette, reading before voting and the hope to generate intelligent discussion on the topics of these articles.
