It's unfair to say that those problems are concrete as I only agree with maybe 2 or 3 points, here's my comments: - My loading times for Online, Spectating etc are all totally acceptable - generally within 5 seconds. The only time it takes longer is when I alt-tab out of the game. - Flying controls are indeed awful but I switch to gamepad or joystick for flying in every game ever anyway, I've never seen a game that uses mouse/keyboard for flying well. - In terms of graphics, they're using an engine that's considerably old and pushed it to it's limits. When on absolute max settings it still looks better than most new games I have installed so I'm not complaining. People were more hyped because they knew it would be a good port to PC rather than a whole new game.. and they didn't let down, usually PC ports from console are pretty shabby.

Could be worse, Frontier have only just replied to my Elite: Dangerous ticket after 6 and a half months!

Ensure Staff do housekeeping on their home drives....
Arreks replied to kennysarmy's topic in How do you do....it?
I'm sure that will change if you saw my (or @X-13) home computers. -
But it's definitely true that "not voting" isn't something the government seems to care about - nearly 17 million people didn't vote last year and no one batted an eyelid. What about if 17 million people spoiled their ballots instead? whether or not they'd take notice isn't something we can know for sure but if a person is fed up with 'the system' then surely they'd want to try and do something to change it rather than doing something which doesn't seem to be working? I didn't vote last year because I was one of those "I don't like this system" people and I still don't like the system, however I know that by not voting - I'm actually just appearing as some 20 year old slob who doesn't care rather than a person who doesn't like the system..
-
Yes.. there's quite a big difference.. If you don't vote, you don't count. You're not a person. If you spoil your ballot, you count. You are a person.

My opinion coincides with the above also - this has been posted before but I'll repost it. :: Spoil Your Vote :: Spoil Your Vote is an idea whose time has come.

Ensure Staff do housekeeping on their home drives....
Arreks replied to kennysarmy's topic in How do you do....it?
Oh yes, it's always films. And it's usually ones they've ripped off of DVDs! I usually make a point of the illegality and then delete them. To be fair some staff just have loads of powerpoints and documents that they use for work so I don't mind increasing the space for those users. -
But how well will they pay their IT Support?
-
I know that depending on your graphics settings, the game will either be locked at 30fps or 60fps but I haven't read too much into it as my fps has been fine.

Our limit for Staff is 5GB then we increase as necessary, it's usually movies etc that take up all the space. -
I didn't call the majority racist (not sure why you're putting the word 'racist' in quotation marks) - I said the majority seemed to be racist, as in, from the debates and speeches I have seen from UKIP representatives - they give off the impression that their opinions lie in the realm of "let's get rid of those ethnics!" rather than "this is what is best for the country". That is my opinion. As for fringe elements, there's quite a few judging by what a Google search brings up.

3 of the teachers here are doing Tough Mudder, I was going to offer to participate but.. mud.. ew.. good luck!

My account recently logged out while I was playing "Logged in elsewhere" - I changed my password ASAP and I've been fine since, maybe those Rockstar compromised rumours were true after all.
-
Perhaps Nigel himself isn't racist but the majority of his party seem to be, there was a minor 'debate' with some representatives of various parties recently near me which I attended - needless to say by the end of it people were actually shouting "racist" at the UKIP rep. His argument was "I'm not racist, I work with a few blacks!".
-
No one voted for BNP but a bunch voted for UKIP.. I thought they were the same thing I'll vote Green or spoil my ballot, but I reckon Labour will take the cake this time.

Eye test results. Anyone know anything about them? Variations.
Arreks replied to DCUK6's topic in General Chat
Eyes are funny. My last test indicated that my eyes have improved, but maybe the test was just a fluke? It's hard to tell really because after wearing a prescription for a few days your eyes compensate and you 'adapt' to them so they currently feel fine (but my old prescription felt fine too!). -
It really upsets me that you can't steal 'expensive' cars properly, I don't want to pay for them!

[movie trailer] Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens
Arreks replied to rickjames's topic in TV & Movies
I did wonder if Kyle Katarn would be making an appearance in any of these films but honestly I don't think he will, unless.. Kylo Ren is Kyle Katarn?! Actually, no.. that's probably not true. -

[hosting] Web hosting/domain name purchase on a student budget
Arreks replied to elsiegee40's topic in Web Development
99.9% uptime as far as I've seen, I've been using 000webhost for example for the last 5 years as a professional platform and never noticed any problems - and yes you can use custom domains, they're very quite flexible and have SQL/PHP already installed. -
[hosting] Web hosting/domain name purchase on a student budget
Arreks replied to elsiegee40's topic in Web Development
Does he even need to pay? if it's something simple like a portfolio he could just use 000webhost (free, popular) or even tumblr! 000webhost I use all the time when I'm developing basic designs to show people before I move the files onto my web server. The servers they use have never had any major problems or security concerns if he's concerned about that. -
When you start smelling it, turn off your PC and open it up and see if you can isolate where the smell is coming from - hell it could really be anything. The most likely is the PSU but Corsair generally have good rails and are a reputable company. 620W is cutting it close but if you didn't have enough power, it would just crash.
-
This. The only time I've ever smelled actual 'burning' is when a water cooler leaked and was dripping onto a PCB Graphics Cards are more likely to crash the PC rather than burn away.

Because it makes more money for directors.

[movie trailer] Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens
Arreks replied to rickjames's topic in TV & Movies
I definitely thought that, but in the timeline of things it wouldn't make sense.. Revan died like 3000 years or something (don't quote me on that) before this movie takes place - no way could his mask survive that long.
