Surprised you have never heard of bleepingcomputers.com Bleepingcomputers.com is a VERY good site to keep abreast of ransomware and free decryptors for ransomware. Maybe the best site for this information. I don't work for them, but have used their advice many times and recovered tons of encrypted data.

Post some numbers. In the cities that Google fiber is located it is $70 (some with taxes and such added to that) for 1Gbps up and down. What are you paying for your fiber now and what speeds are you getting? From what I can find neither Century Link nor Frontier/Verizon offer close to that speed. Even at the speeds they say they offer per Mbps they are more.

High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform 283

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday March 28, 2011 @08:47AM from the but-you-spent-more dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new mouse performance speed-testing software has scientifically demonstrated that there is virtually no difference between the performance of expensive, high-end gaming mice and cheap laser office mice. The software, called Metalocity, is available for free download so you can test your own mice and confirm the empirical results for yourself. It also shows that the multi-button approach of the Razer Naga and WarMouse Meta increases user speed by up to 112 percent." Note that this report comes from someone who wants to sell you a $80 gaming mouse with a zillion buttons on it, so a grain of salt is required here. But the question is valid: are the expensive mice really worth anything?

ChronoFish writes "The FARS news agency and a host of others are reporting on Iran claiming to have created a flying saucer-like drone. There is one small problem however. The press release photos from the state-run news service are from a movie."

He and his games have influenced my life greatly. I have some true real friends from gaming, and even an ex-wife! :) The world is a sadder place as of today but I know that there will be some great games played where ever he goes. :)
