Re: Might be time for a new mouse...

Is this the mouse you're referring to: http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g700s-rechargeable-wireless-gaming-mouse ? Hmm, I have a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo which has given me little trouble. One difference is that mine is a "standard" media setup as opposed to gami...

Might be time for a new mouse...

So I have a logitech g700s. I bought it not to use it wirelessly, but so I could in theory unplug it from my desktop system and take it outside with my laptop (my room is the hottest room of the house). Unfortunately the connector (its a usb-c micro) seems to be failing me; as it disconnects every s...

Lightcraft?

I'm sure some of you have heard of this . Of course they always make it seem so plausible but what are some possible problems? Or is this yet another great idea tragically underfunded? Granted beam powered propulsion is not a new concept. I'm specifically wondering about the large flying saucer ball...

Re: Audio Server?

Thanks for the suggestion! I guess I should give some backstory; I'd like to build a home server/nas and asrock has a great atom board , but I wasn't sure of the audio capabilities [if any] of that board. Ergo a separate regular pc. EDIT: Yeah, doesn't look like it has any audio ability. And I doubt...

Re: Windows 10 coming soon

So its very close, apparently. Anyone else get that upgrade notice if you're on Windows 7? I'm mildly tempted but, I just don't especially like things like cortana being baked into the OS. I'm just a little bit afraid of the direction technology is going. I, for one, welcome our new technological o...

Audio Server?

So I've been researching self hosted applications lately and I came across this gem: https://www.sonerezh.bzh/ Basically its your self-hosted Spotify. I also realized I wanted to be able to access music other audio files even if my main PC was off. So I googled "audio server." :bangwall: O...

Re: Babylon 5 cutaway!!!

I thought they were solar panels. Babylon 4 had them and the ships definitely did not have them. I thought since Babylon 5 was stationary that they included them in the design since the station was always in direct contact from the sunlight. Was it? It looks like far side doesn't get any light? Als...

Re: Babylon 5 cutaway!!!

Ooh, pretty. Although not much of a cutaway. True, but its the best thats out there from what I can see. :( It's a big station. Indeed. I really hope JMS is actively working on his theatrical reboot, that would be amazing to see, especially with the latest CG. Random thoughts: What exactly are the ...

Re: Windows 10 coming soon

Wasn't their new browser "Spartan" ? 'Project Spartan' was what it was called during development but wasn't meant to be the final name. The name 'Edge' was only recently announced. Too bad. Spartan is definitely a better name than 'Edge.' :P Were they trying to be edgy? :roll: Does this a...

So apparently tests continue, and measurements are generating anomolous thrust in a vacuum! :shock:

Android 5: "Add payment info to 'complete setup'"

As if its not enough that we give them all our browsing data, now Google demands we give them our credit card numbers in order to "complete account setup"? To clarify, I recently got a Nexus 7, updated it to Android 5.0.1 or something, and now every so often Google bugs me about "comp...
