    Happy Birthday Will! (Google+ told me so)

    Enjoy a good cup of coffee this morning for Will.

    Also is this appropriate on a day like this?

  • GTFShadow commented on where's whitta

    Someone send out a zombie search party for Gary.

  • GTFShadow commented on Sugru - The new duct/duck tape

    I think this is something you guys should test out in different ways as far as every day use, fixing things or protecting/breaking objects.

    I think their could be lots of things you could test this with and would be interested to see how well it works.

  • GTFShadow commented on BlackBerry Announces BlackBerry 10, Z10 and Q10 Smartphones

    This could be a nice refresh for Blackberry and it's OS. I just hope that the QWERTY keyboard is as good as its previous versions. Still by far one of the best physical keyboards to have on a phone.

    I will be interested to see how well the initial sales and pre-orders(maybe?) do.

  • GTFShadow commented on Question about moving data from old HD to new build.

    You can always make the old HDD a secondary one and pull everything you need from it.

    Even if you would install Win7 or Vista over top of your old HDD it would create a window(s).old folder and you can pull everything up.

  • GTFShadow commented on Unlocking New Smartphones Is Illegal After This Weekend--Unless You Go Through Your Carrier

    @bottleworks: What I don't understand is at one point you agreed with Lane about "investment in you as a customer" point, but basically said that way he put it was not the right "context". You said the exact same thing as him. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and that's what forums/discussion boards are for.

    But any who I can see why carriers want to do this to protect there investment in a phone that you got for a fraction of the price they paid for it. (Cause I can tell you for paying $50-$100 for a new phone beats paying $600+) Then using the service they provide to you assuming you pay your bill to keep that going. This topic can be a difficult cause you can go in different ways explaining one side over the other. It can have it's gray areas with this topic and I think tons of pros/cons why it's done and the way it's done.

  • GTFShadow commented on Congratulations Will!

    Congrats Will!

  • GTFShadow commented on What Are You Playing?

    I have been in a slump of games to play right now as nothing really seems to be holding my interest at the moment. But when I do get the chance I have been playing some TF2 alot recently. I am looking for a game to really capture my attention again that holds me for hours and has a good multiplayer.

  • GTFShadow commented on PC Gaming noob who needs help !

    I would bump that PSU up a bit to maybe a 750 W.

    Also I would stick with Win7 for right now. Go with Win7 Prof 64 bit.

    I would suggest even going the route of using an SSD for a boot drive and the 2Tb as back up storage for right now.

  • GTFShadow commented on Tested TF2: Return of the server.

    Well let's brainstorm a bit and see if we can't get another game going to have a dedicated server for. We can start another thread or re-use this one.

  • GTFShadow commented on Online backup services

    I have been using Google Drive myself, but you have many options out there for back up storage. How much space are you looking to use and would you be willing to pay extra for something like that?

  • GTFShadow commented on Tested TF2: Return of the server.

    As much as I don't want to say it or see it happen, I think Lane is right. TF2 will still keep going, but not like it used to.

    I would like to see another multiplayer game we could get Tested back into. Any other suggestions?

    @CROM:

    Chips on sandwiches are the most underrated culinary choice of this millennium.

    True story. Ham, cheese, chips, mustard on a potato roll is the best sandwich ever.

  • GTFShadow commented on Show us your Sandwich

    This looks nice and healthy.

    But being a 'murican..... where's the burger???

    Being a normal man.... BACON, IT'S MISSING

  • GTFShadow commented on Si hi to a new user icon on Tested

    Very nice new icon! And it's either the 3 or 4th icon for new tested folks now I believe.

  • GTFShadow commented on Show us your watch!

    @Vao: Just an FYI, Amazon is having a sale on watches for those that might be looking for something new or to add to the collection.

    SALE SALE SALE!

  • GTFShadow commented on Randomly get linked to my router's login page.

    Have you tried updating the firmware? Or doing a factory reset on it? Also try calling tech support as well and see if they have ever heard of anything happening like this?

  • GTFShadow commented on how do you go about creating a cabled lan network at a house

    @Rallier said:

    I wont be needing more than a single wired connection for now but it is mainly future proofing what i'm planning because having to run cables through a house is easier to do before you patch them up.

    You got that right. Much easier to do so before you redo any kind of walls. Run cables while it's easiest!

    Also like @Toxeia: familiarize yourself with both of them. When I worked at StaRComm I ran cable all the time and I typically used the B configuration.

    Also if you are going "future proof" I would just Cat6 awhile as well. Getting a 1000 ft cable is fairly cheap as is.

  • GTFShadow commented on how do you go about creating a cabled lan network at a house

    @CrippleCaptain: Good idea. Using the punch down with the faceplates is much better idea. It will make it look nicer as well, but having the crimper is always a good idea as well.
