    Sex, Lies And Debt Potentially Exposed By U.S. Data Hack

    I code monkey for the federal government. The last question the agent asked me was "do you have any skeletons in your closet?" I was stumped. If I didn't give him one, he'd probably think I was lying. I couldn't think of anything except to tell him I was gay. I wasn't hiding it, so no...

    Windows 10 Notification on Windows 7

    I haven't been reading the H forums a whole lot lately. Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away? The notification explains everything, and offers an option to opt-out.

    Windows 10 Notification on Windows 7

    Jebus.. talk about paranoid. It's just a notification of the availability to be informed when a free windows version upgrade is available. You know.. install Linux and be done with it.

    Windows 10 Notification on Windows 7

    Look 3 posts above yours for a link. Click on it. Read. Understand how to uninstall the proper KB update. Relax.

    Windows 10 Notification on Windows 7

    Has it been confirmed if Windows 10 can be done as a clean install, or if it must be done as an upgrade?

    Windows 10 Notification on Windows 7

    I just got that as well. It's not surprising to get the notification, but getting it now is I guess. It might have been better for them to wait to send out that notification until the release date is set.

    NVIDIA Game Ready 352.86 WHQL Certified Drivers

    Absolutely! In 350.12, I was getting tons of TDRs in surround as well as the other problems you've noted. In 352.86 it looks to me that all Nvidia did was stop the driver from issuing the TDR to Windows, but not actually correct the performance mess. This is a very common problem judging...

    Congress OK’s Upgrade of VA's 29-Year-Old Software

    No, that has nothing to do with the issue. The "backend" is fine. It's the process that is the problem. Even if this new scheduling system works (and I can tell you now that it won't), that has nothing to do with why veteran's have to wait for care. Changing everything to the most modern and...

    Congress OK’s Upgrade of VA's 29-Year-Old Software

    I'm employed as a VistA developer (M coder, for those that know what that is). I've been doing it for a long time. The amount of out-right ignorance (not from anyone in particular in this thread) is just absurd. I can tell you right now that this new initiative from Congress is going to be a...

    What's the Shelf Life of a Techie? Just 15 Years

    Bob, have you thought about doing something artistic as a side-line? Start a band.. learn to paint.. write a novel, etc.. There's all sorts of things you can do to branch out while keeping your current job for stability. Starting over at 36 is pretty rough, especially in this job market.

    What's the Shelf Life of a Techie? Just 15 Years

    That's exactly right. I code MUMPS for the Veteran's Administration - it's an old language, from the 60s, and the platform was developed in the 80s. The VA has tried to modernize the system by replacing components, but have failed at every turn. One project I was involved in, an attempt to...

    GeForce 680 & 670 vs. Radeon 7970 & 7950 Gaming Performance @ [H]

    Thank you for the benchmarks.. very informative. Can you repeat the process @ 5760x1200 with crossfire and SLI please? If you had 4GB 6XX parts to throw in, that would be nice to see as well.

    GTX 690 $999 @ newegg

    Why? Is it that you generally get pissed off when you buy something and then later see the price is lower? I wonder how it is that Newegg forced people to spend $1200 on a video card? That's a neat trick.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 Dual GPU Video Card Review @ [H]

    LOL please.. Newegg is constantly sold out of anything having anything to do with the 6 series GPUs, including the 690. When somebody says "supply & demand", they're not trolling. They're telling you how it is. If you don't like the price, don't buy the product. That's how this works. If...
