Also posted to Twitter http://marlamin.com/cdr/view.php?type=sub&id=14499 Seems there's an EA Oxymoron Indie Bundle coming.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/438955692/pcgamingwiki-an-encyclopedia-of-pc-game-fixes I mentioned about this one on Twitter. $60K is a lot to ask for hosting of a Wiki. One that already exists, and has normal donations, and is crowd sourced (a fair few of the original posts were even done by yours truly until I clicked the intention wasn't to make a "PC Gaming Wiki" but a "Fixes for PC games wiki". I guess one of them had a more attractive name). I think he's essentially asking for enough to fund his life for a fair while, which is against the rules of Kickstarter. Cos no way in hell are his server costs in the $60K range. Also he's from London, which also causes issues since afaik you need to be in the US to start a kickstarter (Which has always been one of the looming flaws. It was to avoid the fact some companies have issues with crowdfunding start ups)

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/enterprise/374440/apple-blocks-dropbox-based-apps Oh Apple. At first when hearing this I thought it was an issue to use the Dropbox SDK in apps because it's not approved or it circumvents some security feature or something. Nope Apple dislike the Dropbox SDK because it links folks to the dropbox site where folks can buy storage and Apple don't get a cut of it. They do know how web browsers and websites work right?

A comparison between Trailer 2 n 3, showing the various further post-production tweaks gone into it.

Well fanny used to be a common(ish) name in the UK. And look how that turned out. Start using randy in the "I'm horny" way more often n the amount of Randys will most likely decline. How many Dicks do you know?

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05/02/hooray-steam-adding-remote-game-installs/ I'm going to go test this out.

I like how he says "fire" at the start. Seems really enthused.

http://www.gaslampgames.com/2012/04/30/free-dlc-for-dungeons-of-dredmor-you-have-to-name-the-expansion-pack/ Woot. Free DLC and also Workshop support.

So the 5.85% is just an optional extra? (As assumed by the term "opted not to pay"), the 5.3% is still the base rate? Therefore she did practice what she preached; not using any loopholes, offshore accounts, etc etc to bring her tax rate down to near zero.

They're SAM missiles on flats with a bunch of armed guards around them. I don't think they'll be too easy to conceal.

Why is called Di-ablo if it's actually pronounced Dee-ablo?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17884897 Well this is...hmmm

http://hothardware.com/News/NVIDIA-Unveils-DualGPU-Powered-GeForce-GTX-690/ So the 690 is looking pretty sweet. Though I'm now starting at a price drop on other cards hopefully. Debating picking up a ~£100 card as a stop gap before getting a new PC. Pretty much anything these days must be better than my current 9600GT.

So just curious on a few things, so here's a Survey that'd be swell if folks could fill it in.

Oooh, zero nesting. That always makes comment systems highly readable.

(shame it's 480p :/)

SSD would be using SATA. Flash are zippy at random read write, hard discs are better at continuous. (which is why it's generally better when backing stuff up to put them in a single zip file first)
