If you're in the Chicago area, try this: http://www.gallopingghostarcad... Massive free-play arcade.

I haven't used bittorrent to download anything other than Linux ISOs in 3 years. I buy books on Kindle, music on a paid Spotify account, games on Steam, and movies on Blu-Ray. So, no. I don't just reserve my empathy for my fellow IT workers. If companies provide better service than the pirates, it kills all urge to pirate.

Correlation does not equal causation.

Does Linux run on Superdome? I though those were all HP-UX/OpenVMS?

WSUS is free though, right? SCCM is very expensive (especially if you work for a company as tight as mine...)

SOME devices got the updates almost immediately. The N4 did have to wait a while (it was a reasonable wait though), but my N7 got the update very quickly. That said, the Nexus 9 STILL doesn't have 5.1, which is kind of inexcusable.

Forget ecological concerns, the gas mileage alone should make you want to change that. Gas may be coming down in price, but it still ain't that cheap!

Lucky you. Some of us have to do end-user support...

MUCH easier to make a pivot table than request a Cognos report be built. In a company with a 3 man IT department (such as ours), you've got to prioritize. If the users can make their own pivot tables, it saves everybody a lot of headache.

Historically I've really, really disliked the default KDE theme, but I think Plasma 5 looks pretty good. Very clean.

Don't blame me! I voted RC Cola.

Fair enough, but if you get to pull out of funding the Smithsonian, I get to withhold my tax dollars from military spending.

Better yet, Chicago (or rather Brookfield, to be more precise) has Galloping Ghost. A REAL arcade of the old-school style. One of, if not the, largest arcades in the country.

I don't. Even if you don't like the Rift now that Facebook has bought Oculus, the only reason Sony's VR headset is being released is to jump on the hype train. The Rift is necessary to provide the competition that is needed to drive the VR market. At the very least until another well funded company announces an upcoming headset. In any case, provided that Facebook stays hands-off on the Rift, it looks like a very compelling product.

In a multiplayer game yes. They should get perma-banned. In single player I say: cheat on, it hurts no one.
