    No Man's Sky - A Procedurally-Generated Space Exploration Sim

    Have you guys seen this one yet? There's been a lot of hype around this game lately, and I can understand why. The developers claim to have built an engine that can render an entire universe (literally millions of planets) seamlessly, and that everything that can be seen can be visited. The...

    Anyone else playing Xenonauts? (Spiritual Successor to X-Com)

    I picked this game up when it released two days ago, and I've already put 10+ hours into it. I can't put it down! People have called it a spiritual successor to X-Com, but I can't say for sure how true that is since I've never played the original. The few reviews I've watched have said it's...

    So I'm building a home NAS... and quickly learning that I hate Linux. Any suggestion?

    Hey guys, I recently put together a mini-ITX build with an i3 CPU, 8GB of memory, and 3 1TB Seagate drives. No problems here; the system boots and is stable. My problem is that I can't figure out how to get the most out of this appliance. For example: - I started with Ubuntu server, and...

    Is anyone already using Github... I'm struggling to download a repository

    I'm trying to download the following repository, but I don't know the first thing about Github and can't get it to work: https://github.com/owncloud/apps/tree/master/user_saml If any of you already use Github, might you be able to zip these files for me and provide a link to download? I...

    So I'm looking for a new backup appliance

    Currently using a Barracuda Backup 390, and I hate it. I've hated since I inherited it two years ago, and I've finally outgrown the unit. Barracuda is slow to support new technologies, hesitant to allow users to do any sort of robust management, and generally not fun to work with on the phone...

    So I'm in the market for a few new switches... what would you guys recommend?

    So I'm in the market for a few new switches, for the following configuration: - A branch office needing two 48-port switches. Will need some basic stuff like VLAN's and port restrictions. - A single 24 or 48 port switch for a data center. Nothing special here, either, but I'm really looking...

    Is there any good reason to become MS Office compliant?

    Given how easy it is to fake Office activation, and given the historic methods of previous IT management, I now manage a handful of office computers all using the same Office 2010 serial key. I've proposed becoming compliant to the powers-that-be on multiple occurrences, but the $30k price tag...

    I want to return to school... but I'm not sure which direction to go.

    Alright, so I've got a pretty cushy 9-5, working as a SysAdmin in the healthcare industry. We're across 9 states, we have 300+ employees, and I've grown the network from 1 to 8 servers. The circumstances of my hiring were... rocky... but I've really proven myself, and I've gained a lot of...

    Does anyone have experience with Citrix?

    My company is currently investigating methods to host an application (Centricity) within a data center, off-site from our branch office of 25 users. That application will need to be accessible by those 25 users, and 10 on the WAN. This number is going to grow. I see two options here: 1)...

    I'm looking for some good credit card recommendations

    Currently rocking a CapitalOne card, $1500 limit, that has absolutely nothing special about it. The balance is low and I really don't use it that much, because I'm not making any rewards. I do a lot of driving, so I was thinking about getting something with a nice 3% cash back on gas, like...

    Thinking about changing the domain of one DC... am I in for a world of headache?

    Here's the situation: I have two domain controllers on domain A, and one on domain B. A trust exists between the two. All domain computers have been migrated to domain B already, and the various kinks in permissions have already been worked out. I have two servers still on domain A, but...

    For you prog fans: Riverside's new album is out!

    And it is excellent; a tenfold improvement over ADHD. You can really hear the blues influence throughout, Porcupine Tree in their experimentation, and their earlier work in the upbeat tracks. I absolutely love it, and I'm on my 5th listen in less than 24 hours. The whole album is on Spotify...

    "Oh Comely" - Neutral Milk Hotel

    This song is amazing. I just found the band yesterday, and already I've listened to the song a couple dozen times. Mangum's lyrics are tear-jerking and schizophrenic at the same time, and I've never heard alliteration used so masterfully in one song. I wish he had a better voice, but the emotion...

    Mitt Romney tells 533 lies in the past 30 weeks...

    Here's a list of 533 lies Romney's made in the past 30 weeks. As much as I'd like to vote Republican in the coming election, there's no way I'm getting behind this moron. The GOP sets a scary precedent when a race based on lies is more effective than the truth...

    What are you guys using for wireless at your office?

    I recently picked up one of the following Engenius AP's to replace a Ruckus that died on our network: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...tem=33-168-087 The device itself is easy enough to set up, and seems to perform well, but every day or two it completely stops servicing iOS devices...

    Finding a good naming scheme for my domains...

    Hopefully this is the best place to ask this question. I'm managing ~100 computers across 3 domains, and we will definitely be expanding. I can easily see us taking on 2 more remote locations, and 2 more domains, within the next year. Currently our computers' and devices' names are all...

    What corporate AV are you guys using?

    I'm currently running Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security across ~50 nodes. I like the control panel, and it's been relatively painless to use. If you all have any better suggestions, my renewal is coming up and I'm open to alternatives. In particular, TM runs rather heavy on older...

    The Vodkraft Minecraft Server

    Hey guys! I've been running a Minecraft server for the better part of a year now, and since AT's "unofficial" servers seem to have come and gone, I thought you guys might be interested in a place where we can all hang out. We're called Vodkraft, and are sponsored by the excellent TF2 and CSS...

    Analog phone system - any options?

    I recently started at a new company, and they have an old-as-dirt analog phone system. We're looking to "emulate" a more robust phone tree using a hosted solution such as Grasshopper, but so far as I can tell, there isn't any way to call a specific extension from outside of the system...
