>When I think about my next "big" purchase, I will probably build a PC. I did precisely that. Instead of upgrading my MBP, I built an i5, 16GB RAM, and a gtx650ti for well under $700. I've had some teething issues with regard to my work

It took me a good 10 seconds to locate it. Also, I signed in with my Microsoft ID which was confusing as it logged into outlook using my existing, non-microsoft email. If you don't have an @outlook.com email, it'd be nice for them to pop a

I can't help but wonder that with the way things are going if it would be smart for Mozilla to focus on getting the Gecko engine used in more third party projects. Webkit is practically everywhere, and while Safari and Chrome are the "big"

"The code that you write on the computer should only stay on the compter that you wrote it on and nowhere else." That is what I was taught. What it means is that if you write some code on your work computer, it stays on your work computer.

Something Awful is an interesting community. The people running it consider it to be an "idiot tax": if you're an idiot, you pay the tax. I don't think there are very many (any?) other communities on the internet for which you must be a pai
