I want my messages displayed in simple chronological order by time received. I don't like messages moving around. I ALSO don't like accidentally deleting whole conversations because a cat stepped on my phone. Reply-after-quote is only a reasonable format if you expect all email conversations to...

Threaded messaging is an abomination, as is quote-after-reply messaging. These are things that should at the very least be controllable user preferences and platforms that get those things wrong or force one behavior (Gmail/Android handles BOTH incorrectly) are at best misfeatured.

Anything that does IMAP is at least viable, in my opinion. In this case, I'm specifically dealing with GMail the Android app rather than Gmail as a platform. Android/Gmail was recently updated to support non-Google mail services with the idea of replacing the admittedly rather crummy unbranded...

Seriously? No one else has this problem? Here's a step by step for demonstrating the problem: Open the Google Drive app. Open a File. Choose Send File. Choose Gmail. When I do this, I get an error. If I choose to "Attach Using Drive" from within Gmail, what's shared is a link rather than actual...

I really only use Chrome for stuff that gets broken by ABP/Noscript/Ghostery (e.g. Yahoo's new TV service) that I'm too lazy to fix. My opinion of Chrome is low enough that if IE's version of ABP had feature parity, I'd actually prefer IE.

I regularly have browsers using more than 3GB, but most of my other needs are wrapped up in VMs that I want running for one reason or other. One of my most frequently used VMs needs 16GB because modern Exchange and Sharepoint both run like ass unless they're given that much.

When I was growing up in very rural Illinois, everyone's cats were indoor/outdoor animals, but I suppose it's just like children these days: You want them indoors for their own safety because you never know what will happen. That is terrible news, mubs, but those kitties had better lives for...

I thought perhaps that we could write a message to P5's family. I have a mailing address for his brother.

Game Engine footage is crucially NOT in-game footage. That's gorgeous and I bet machinima folks will love it, but the actual game will probably be artificially limited to 720p with only four moving characters on the screen because consoles suck.

I once spent about $40 on adult magazine subscriptions sent to an office because they refused to pay for my services. I never got paid but the jerk who stiffed me also didn't get to keep his job.

Is anyone else having weirdness with attaching files via Gmail? I'm finding that everything is fine in K9 but not the most current version of Gmail on Android. I get a message that says " Permission denied for the attachment" when I share to Gmail from an external app on both my phone and on a...

I hate to say it but anything that doesn't have 4GB RAM is probably going to be too constrained to run a desktop browser in the near future. None of the major options are terribly respectful of low RAM configurations right now and I don't see that getting any better. If you're thinking of a...

If we're spreading blame between nVidia and Adobe let's just say I'm willing to call that a hole with no bottom. Also, I slightly misspoke. That Titan X is roughly equivalent to an early 2000s Supercomputer.

Does Kernel Space Teen Hunger Force somehow need more computing power than a mid-90s supercomputer when it's not the foreground application?

Turn off SLI when you aren't using it?

I have to say it's been beautiful so far and as somebody who spent all damned week looking for a random performance issue on a web server you have my sympathies.

Because there are still shit-tons of PS/2 keyboards out in the world and there's nothing wrong with them.

Chewie, We're Home.

It is probably not surprising that the number for his business is disconnected.

I spoke with the mortuary. The woman I spoke to indicated that he was known as an entrepreneurial person but also a free spirit, though she was not allowed to disclose any specifics about him or his circumstances to a non-family member. I was given a mailing address for his brother, whom I...

I'll make some calls this afternoon. I should have time today.

Google Voice will give you one in the same area code. You can have it forward calls to another number.

The folks with the lowest user numbers on SR had admin-created accounts after the MBF. I remember seeing P5's login back around the time Windows 98 was released, which is as early as I started visiting. I posted a short message about him in SR's Bar and Grill but I doubt it'll get much...

The latest Firefox for Android update killed all my settings on all my devices, but Adblock Plus for Firefox mobile now has feature parity with the desktop versions - you can subscribe to multiple lists now and and you get the same post-install UI on it that you do on desktop Firefox or Chrome.

I had Google voice port my parents' old land line number. It's an easy number to remember. That number and my office phone number (Vocalocity, now a Vonage subsidiary) both just forward to my cell. It works great, though I'm always a little worried that Google will decide to up and drop Google...

There was a pretty huge leak of specs on the LG G4 yesterday. It's going to be a tiny bit wider and taller but the same thickness as the G3. The screen is the same 2560x1440 IPS, but it's going to have a 64-bit CPU, and it will continue to have a replaceable battery and card reader. Apparently...

I wonder if there is a family in Salem that someone could contact. I don't recall him ever indicating that he did or did not. He did not write much at all about his personal life.

I don't know with any certainty that it's him, but that's not something I wanted to find.

There is this. I can't find any further announcement or corroborating information.

Does the ML350 not use a standard LGA1366 mounting? I might have something sitting around. I'm guessing this would also do the trick.

I think I'd be pretty happy just to get LTO7. 6.4TB uncompressed for probably under $30/tape? Yes please.

I don't know what BSODs you're referring to on ATI driver installation. Examples of legitimate ATI driver weirdness: ATI under-scales TV displays connected via HDMI on Windows. This has to be fixed in the registry or in the driver settings on EVERY boot. I've found that ATI mobility Radeon 3xxx...

I believe Mark is in his 50s. He's some sort of admin or infrastructure-type IT person, though he's never been very specific about where he works or what he does.

There's someone with the right name and location posting on Twitter but P5's real name is so common even that isn't necessarily the right person. Is P5 a high school football coach who had a kid in December?

I shot him an email.

The first five minutes of Daredevil probably sell the whole thing, but I have to say that the fight scenes are top-notch. Like Winter Soldier, everything is paced slowly enough to see every blow and you see the lasting impact of DD's lifestyle on his body. There's something interesting about...

He was posting under another name for a while and generally more in the computers topics than social. He's never shared much about his personal life. Maybe the relative lack of traffic in the top half of the forums? I'll see if I have an Email for him. mubs also hasn't visited in a while. Buck...

That doesn't much help for the people who took a PC out of a box and did what it told them. Except the part about remembering a password. Windows does prompt people to make a password recovery disk but I've never in the history of time heard of anyone doing that. One of the best parts of the...

My new least favorite thing: People who don't know their Live account password OR the password to their email which they can only get to if they can sign in to their Live account. Somewhere, there's a poor bastard at Microsoft who has the job for re-setting Windows 8 passwords for clueless baby...

This is just a reminder that Marvel's Daredevil will begin streaming on Netflix at 12:01am PDT tomorrow.

The US Legal system. Who benefits from how our laws are structured? It's not the people who needed the ACA and WIC. But people who own patents or have interests in corporate governance certainly do. And do remember that our legal system in the US also believes that corporations have the same...

Sure, as long as you accept the possibility that they won't have you send shit to the wrong address if it ever does stop working. Which you wouldn't think would normally be a problem. Not that I'm bitter.

Because the people who have the most are also making most use of government services.

Sales taxes are highly regressive. They penalize people at lower incomes to a much greater degree based on percentage of income. Do you really want single mothers and elderly people on a fixed income giving any more of their money back just because they're not bringing in a living wage of $15/hour?

I've found that BTsync chokes and dies if you throw 4TB of files at it. We could be each other's crashplan partners easily enough. Or just start a communal Google/Onedrive account.

If I didn't have an accountant I've worked with for years, I strongly suspect I could get away with just filing a 1040EZ and not report any of my contracting income. I don't really feel like risking it though. I worked on an IRS agent's personal computer last Thursday. I saw Turbotax 2015 on...

This tool for HFS recovery under Linux is still under active development. I've been aware of it for a while but I haven't had a reason to try it yet.

There's a big difference between devices that have limited functionality and those that are actively being developed. I do think Windows (and specifically Windows 8) makes a better media center, but Chromecast, Roku and FireTV are pretty great for some definition of the word.

The extra threads are more advantageous than the per-thread execution speed. An i7-980X is a better Plex host than a Haswell i3 for the same reason. The AMD x4 could probably be refurbished and passed along to another family member. You have plenty of fast machines on hand. The FireTV as a Plex...

Let's update DNS and get over there.
